Ready to Confess...

I'm ready to admit that Saturday, before my long road trip to get my antibiotic (again in Wasilla, not Anchorage), I ate McDonalds.  It was not good at all.  I can't believe I ever considered it food!  I did have two big cups of corny caramel color in the form of Diet Coke though and that was delicious, even better than I remembered even!  You should have seen this girl cooped up for an hour drive out to Wasilla after not having caffeine for over a month...  just be glad you weren't stuck in the truck with me!  Pour CoCo!  In case you're wondering, my stomach did hurt, I did have some digestive problems, and over all it was miserable, except for that heavenly Diet Coke!

Yesterday, when I got home from work, I was starving.  I reached for a banana (need to get rid of those leg cramps anyway).  I am pretty sure I was tested for banana allergies (since I have the rubber/latex one and they are in the same family), but who knows what happened there....  I got terrible acid reflux (from one banana)!  I tried to lay down, I got heartburn and a pinching headache right in the middle of my forehead that brought tears to my eyes.  I took some Excedrin migraine, some allergy medicine, and some acid reducer...it was a long night.  The total reaction lasted about six hours...from one banana!  I will not be trying bananas again anytime soon.  It was comparable pain to the pain I was having when I ate subway, which resulted in my gallbladder removal!  UGHHHH.  I'm claiming banana sensitivity and not eating them anymore!

I go to the Lifestyle Coordinator today.  This should be good...I'll let you know how she likes her new title!

  1. Wow... A banana caused that much pain. I know what gallbladder attacks feel like. I had a stone stuck that required emergency surgery. OUCH! Sometimes you have to break the rules and enjoy Diet Coke!
