Would like a quick bit of advice from you seasoned cronies - am going out for meal this evening to Thai restaurant had look on menus on line and everything seems to have coconut milk in - do you think this could start my tummy hurting again - having a brief reprieve at moment and want to play safe, anyone got any experience with coconut milk. TA.
 
Trouble is not totally sure what upsets me, definitely veggies but dont know bout other stuff, - if I eat dairy the effect is pretty instant as in before I even pay the bill but there isnt much pain so may just throw caution to the wind and snarf up the creme brulee but side step prawns in batter - sigh !!
 
I can eat most stuff, within reason, except veggies that are too crunchy, and too much fried food. I don't eat meat out of choice. I've found that what gets to me most is the amount of food I eat... if I go mad and eat too much (which is usual when I eat out) then I often suffer for it. So I think a bit of moderation helps... otherwise, go for it. I'm going out for a curry on Saturday night... I'll see how that plan works (planning on no starters and sharing rice and bread)
 
Havent heard of those pills - am in West Sussex in UK think possibly we behind the times here, anyway had meal, scooped out all the veggies floating in green curry left with about five prawns and sauce, ate that then threw caution to the wind and had creme brulee and two glasses of red wine, very very bad move - had dreadful nights sleep , felt sick and am now sitting in corner at work hoping no one will notice me as feel crap. Never again - well at least till next time!! Does piss me off though cant even go for a nice meal and have a drink without suffering for it after - am on smoothies for the next couple of days to give tummy a rest.
 
Sorry you're not feeling so hot, Perdita :(
This is how I see it though - sometimes I just have to throw caution to the wind and eat what I want or I'll go Captain Insano. Do I suffer because of it? You bet your sweet Aspercreme! But I do it anyways... maybe I'm just a dummy lol
Have your shakes, and hopefully soon you'll be back to your ole self again :D
