Big flare and I did it grrrrr

[dancemomof2]

Ok I really have no reason to whine about this because I did it myself. I am 15 weeks pregnant and have lost 22 pounds do to nausea. I finally on Wednesday craved Orange Juice until I just couldn't take it anymore. Instead of a very small drink to get over the craving I drank 1'4 of the gallon DUHHHHHHHHHHHH. Baby took over my brain for a few minutes and I lost common sense when it came to IC diet. Needless to say I am in a uncontrollable flare and can take nothing for it. Thanks for listening even though it was my own dumbness.

You might try taking some antacids --- my doctor okayed them years ago when I was pregnant. And drink lots of water.

Hope you feel better very soon.

Gentle hugs,
Donna

There is an orange juice out that is low acid. I think it is by Tropicana. And it comes in a carton. I haven't tried it yet.

I have found two brands of low acid orange juice --- both Tropicana and Minute Maid have some in cartons --- and Minute Maid has a frozen one. I can get away with a small glass, with Prelief, but I wouldn't try a lot of it.

I am sorry you are flaring and I can't add anything to the advice you have been given. Hope you are doing better soon.

Thanks girls still flaring, but it is easing up some. Thanks for the low acid OJ advice. I think i'll stay clear from that for awhile. :)

Leslie,
Sorry to hear you are "flaring"...I hope you (and the baby) feel better soon. I have to agree with Brat, you are not stupid! There are just times when "we" feel like, "hey, I want to eat/drink this, just this once." And, usually we pay for it later, but I don't think it is stupidity, just being human...

grouphug grouphug grouphug Les, you are not stupid at all. I wanted an orange for my breakfast at work knowing I proably couldn[t hold it down after having the flu, well you guessed it, stomach didn't like it. HOpe you feel better soon.

Leslie-
You weren't stupid-this is a terrible disease to deal with daily, plus a restricted diet is not something that is easy for us. I give in, especially to chocolate. I find Prelief works really well. Good luck-I wish you well! grouphug
