I'm in full swing of PMT at the moment, so im craving all things sugar and fat laden, so am finding things quite tricky at the moment. :(
I've been to Tesco today to top up on some Claire friendly bits and pieces. I bought a little fruit pot, with kiwi, strawberry and melon chunks in it (not watermelon, as it's not allowed), it looked rather scrummy. Buying them in pots like that is insanely more expensive, but I think at the moment, a lot less wasteful.
All those fruits are ok fruits, but even so, you can only have one portion of fruit at one sitting, or in this case, a fruit salad of no more than 80g.
I weighed out the fruit and my serving was actually 90g, but I wasn't about to cut a strawberry in half, so went with it anyway. I was hoping it'd be a little more than it was as it didn't look much, but to be honest, it was just the right amount to eat.
As I said before I'm craving all things sweet at the moment, so decided to have a peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwich. It didn't occur till after I'd finished lunch that I'm wondering if having the jam and the fruit was a bad idea? Time will tell I guess.
Today would normally be a typical day where I would end up with a really bad episode, I'm just craving anything and everything and on these days I binge. When you have a highly strung intestine at the best of times, it does not tolerate bingeing well.
So, here's the menu so far today.
Breakfast: L/f milk porridge and a redbudsh tea.
Mid morning: Nothing, as I was at Tesco looking longingly at Danish pastries :'(
Lunch: g/f seeded brown bread, peanut butter and s/berry jam sandwich.
80g fruit salad -well, ok, it was 90g :-/ Kiwi, strawberry and melon.
Redbudsh tea.
I'll update later. I'm now off to prepare some sushi and possibly bake some blueberry muffins. (Whilst sobbing quietly at having to leave Tesco without a Danish pastry).
Mid afternoon: redbudsh tea
Wheat & g/f Orange chocolate wafer.
I checked the ingredients on this and it does have milk in it. But my info from the hospital says "low sugar chocolate is not suitable as it contains polyols. Chocolate is low in lactose and suitable in moderate amounts for everyone"
Yay, whooo hooo, *insert party blower here* :-D
Obviously I have to take heed of the keyword 'moderation'.
Dinner: Veggie sushi. Veg were carrots, red pepper and cucumber.
A few prawn crackers....yes, I know you're not supposed to have prawn crackers with sushi, but pffft, the kids love them as a treat :)
Gluten & Lactose free blueberry muffin. Which if I do say so myself, was extremely awesome! Mmmmm.
I ate this while it was still slightly warm, which from experience often seems to upset my insides, so we'll see if it has any effect.
Overall, this has been a rather sweet packed day, so I'm hoping I've not overdone it, I have however still stayed within the rules...I think....I hope.
I'll have to try and savoury my day up tomorrow. I still have the rest of the fruit pot saved for tomorrow though, so I'm looking forward to that.
I've overall felt a bit bleurgh today, I've had no upset, but the whole system appears to have slowed down, so it's making me feel a tad sluggish. I'm going to try adding some linseed to the porridge tomorrow, infact I meant to add it to the muffins but completely forgot. (It would have been an awesome reason for eating another...'it's to increase my fibre intake, honest!')
One thing for sure, I don't feel like I've been missing out today :)
