I'm in flare, but I WANT A SNICKERS BAR!

I would really REALLY like some chocolate right now preferably a Snickers bar. I'm on my period which is making this craving worse.

What do I do?

Oh! and those bean & cheese burritos my bf bought are looking really good too.

HELP!!!

If it were me, I'd have a *little* bit of chocolate! My thinking would be that I'm in a flare anyway, might as well try to have some enjoyment of life. I'd probably avoid eating a whole snickers bar or burritos though - I have repeatedly found out the hard way that (for me) fatty foods don't sit well with a flare! Small amounts of chocolate (especially good quality dark chocolate) don't affect my UC at all - flare or not. But obviously you'll have to keep to what works for you.

A bigger question is what are you doing to treat the flare - is your Asacol dose working?

eat it!

remember to chew chew chew

I want a coffee so bad, but I know it will make me have bm's repeatedly and I do not want that.....if snickers does not hurt you then go for it!!!

If it's not going to bother you...eat it.

BUT, if you think the peanuts, chocolate, sugar and fat might worsen your flare...leave it alone...it's all about consequences lol

NBT

I personally would find something without the peanuts. only because they cause me pain.

Did you eat it? =)

ohhhh, aint that the worst! i know it is silly, but i always get granola cravings---which leaves me in the bathroom forever. i do give in, though and it is almost always worth it! what about trying a little bit of the snickers bar--or maybe a hershey's kiss. i'm not a big chocolate fan, so i don't know what satisfies, but i hope you end up with a happy stomach--one way or the other!
