I know in the grand scheme of things, and perhaps even my Crohn's journey, this is not very important, but it's annoying nonetheless.
Today is my prep day for my colonoscopy (anyone else have trouble typing this word without misstyping it EVERY single time?) tomorrow morning. So, of course I'm on the clear liquid diet all day today. Yesterday I went grocery shopping for a few things: extra juices and chicken broth. Well, I finally have come to realize...
I CANNOT EAT CHICKEN BROTH.
I blame my short hospital visit for this. I was alright eating it for a few days, and then about the 3rd day on clear liquids I could not stomach even the smell of chicken broth. I tried the vegetable and the beef to no avail, but the disgust apparently has stayed with me.
I even tried Campbell's thinking it would taste not so geriatric cafeteria-like, but as it warmed on my stove the aroma turned my stomach and I dumped the whole pot down the drain. I tried ramen chicken broth. Nope. Regular chicken noodle soup with all the "stuff" strained from it. Nope. (Though the last one wasn't revolting, it just tasted REALLY bland).
So, I give up. No chicken broth for me. I gave it another chance, but it just didn't work. Looks like the rest of my day will be filled with juice, popsicles, and Jell-o.
Wah. :ybatty:
