Working so hard on wedding planning (we are in crunch time now - 29 days), cooking at home has been a little more sparse. We have had to resort to some convenient solutions - and there are lots of healthy-ish options - but last night we just threw some egg rolls into the oven.
Egg rolls nearly always have cabbage in them, so I am cautious eating them, but a few of them don't often cause much of a problem.
Well... turns out these particular ones had quite a bit of cabbage in them.
My Crohn's and Pouchitis both don't respond well to more than a little bit of cabbage.
I ate a few eggs rolls and my intestines said NOPE.
It said NOPE a lot overnight.
20 minutes after eating - NOPE.
Every 30 minutes or so after that - NOPE.
Explosive and urgent trips to the bathroom approximately every 30-60 minutes over night, and about every 1-2 hours since I actually got up for today. Nope nope nope nope nope.
Effing cabbage.
This was not fun. Not expected. Not helpful.
Although now I don't have to worry too much about dropping any weight before the wedding. One night and BAM, a few pounds lost. Effing cabbage.
I've learned my lesson. Rj gets the rest of those!
OMG. I JUST ATE A CABBAGE SLAW AND MY BODY HAD THE SAME REACTION. I ended up at the walk-in with severe IBS symptoms and she wrote me up an anti-spasmodic prescription. Same day of symptoms, too.
