Day Seven -The hot waterbottle is out again :-/

I had a restless night, filled with a horrible dragging sensation in my tum. No 'pain' not like an average IBS attack, just a general urgghhhhh feeling. 'Urggghhhhhh' being a proper medical term obviously :)

So when morning finally arrived, I got up made everyone brekkie in bed, climbed back I of bed with my trusty old friend the hot waterbottle. I don't know where I'd be without the hot waterbottle, it's like a warm magical hug that even if it can't ease the pain, it somehow makes me feel a little better.

I did have the hot waterbottle yesterday evening, the uncomfy feeling was in the same place as this morning, but this morning it felt worse. My pains  are always below my belly button either bang smack in the middle or to one side, but this was just up under my rib cage on the right hand side. The top part of my intestine I imagine. 

When the pain had eased it stayed away for the rest of the day -hooray. I hope it's in no hurry to return.

So what have I had today....

Breakfast: Porridge, l/f milk with a sprinkling of linseed. Redbudsh tea.

I had another drink, but of hot water as I find sometimes that hot drinks help with This 'urghhhh' feeling.

Mid Morning: redbudsh tea.

Lunch:

Brown g/f roll, phillidelphia cheese and salad.

Carrot sticks, 6 grapes....and crisps -yay, ooo they tasted niiice. My eldest son Jack saw some crisps and read the ingredients saying, do you know you can have these? -who am I to say no ;) 

Lactose free strawberry yogurt.

R/b tea.

Mid Afternoon:

Blueberry muffin, r/b tea x2

Dinner:

Well our planned roast dinner ended up not happening as my eldest son went to the cinema with friends and rung to ask if he could have a McD with his friends, so we said ok and we had potato salad instead. Well, the hubby and my youngest did. I decided to be brave and try the quinoa again.

Wow, I think that we should make salad cream the leader of the world. One dollop of salad cream completely changed the taste of the snails eggs...oops, I mean quinoa. 

I actually enjoyed it. 

Once again it didn't look appealing, but it tasted good and that's what matters. 

It was quinoa, grated carrot, cucumber, 2 cherry tomatoes, chopped ham, lettuce...and salad cream -yay!

Redbudsh tea...of course.

I'm pretty sure there have been several other mugs of tea today too as I find it very soothing.

This evening I've had the munchies and actually craved crunchy nut cornflakes...but no honey allowed and we don't have any anyway. 

Butttt, I remembered about the g/f choc wafers. So I snaffled one of those, washed down with another cuppa.

After a very disappointing start to the day, I'm pleased to say it's ended with me feeling ok, so onwards and upwards for tomorrow :)
