take some prelief that may help drink you a tsp of baking soda to an eight oz glass of water or take a tum's
drink drink drink lots and lots of water to wash that out.
hon we all cheat on our diets exp. when we are doing better we just want some of the good life back.
i ate the same thing last week! :yikes:
you are NO fool by no means.
sending you hugs and prayers for a good nights rest

you mean take --prelief AND baking soda AND tums--??? by the way--I have rolaids only the only tums I have are orange cream sugar free--so anyways--do i take ALL OF THEM??? thank you Hugs--Cathy --I just took 2 preliefs--had dinner 2 hours ago--dont know how thats is going to help me now? Love Cathy

[Dixiefireball]

try one at a time.
I think your best shot will be one tsp of baking soda to an eight oz glass of water. that should help. if not then try your rolaids (tums are best) and if you have any prelief try that also if the others don't work.
try one wait about an hour to try something diff. I don't think it would hurt to try them all but to be on the safe side i do them an hour apart when needed.
sending you hugs and prayers

You are not the only one. I ate pizza last night. What could I have been thinking! It was one of those times when my kids had friends over and they were all having pizza and I was starved and didn't want to fix something just for myself. It was so stupid I was laughing at myself in between spasms. Baking soda, TUMS, Prelief, cold compress, a pain pill and a book on tape finally calmed me down.

Here's hoping you have quick relief and a good night's sleep!

If you take the antacids and drink lots of water, hopefully you'll get over the burning fairly quickly. And don't beat up on yourself too bad --- we all do it occasionally.

Gentle hugs,
Donna

For me, Alka Seltzer works even better than baking soda, and there's something in Alka Seltzer Gold that's faster still. I saw it recommended in an IC book long ago, and I keep it in my desk/purse/medicine cabinet all the time now. Hope the Elmiron kick in for you eventually. They do take some time, but I can eat almost anything now. Hang in there!

Yup, we have ALL done it. I think it's pretty normal to want to experiment a little bit when we've been feeling good. then the pain is a reminder. :(

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: You were given great advise on what to do so I will just say....sorry you are suffering and don't beat yourself up....we all test and try things out again sometimes....or just cheat....blame the disease not you...you are a great person!

[cathyada]

you see with the meds I am taking--paxil, xanax and zyprexa and high blood pressure med and diabetes meds--Im not sure I can take alka seltzer, as it has asperin in it and not sure if it will cause a reaction--I also take a baby asperin daily (81mg)--if you have idea--please--let me know--hugs and big thank you's --Cathy

Dear Cathada - I use Alka Seltzer Gold because it contains no aspirin. I think it's the only version that doesn't.
