The sound of one bottom trumpeting

By hissychick | October 31, 2008

Lucky me, I contracted a mild gastro bug from young E. By mild I mean I didn’t vomit, but let’s just say that I had a hard time explaining to a newly minted “I can use all the toilets of the world now!” A why Mummy has had to stay close to home and our own WC.

Said bug is on the way out, but I am absolutely wiped out, aching joints and lethargy and all that (but with some minor weight loss. Yay!).

I know that I need to eat food to restore some energy, but nothing appeals. Yes I’ve been munching on some fruit and vegies, mindful of too much fibre at the moment. I’ve unenthusiastically chomped down on some meat, knowing that I cannot afford to let my iron levels drop any further than they already have but also aware that the last thing I need is to have my digestive system working overtime trying to break down animal flesh.  Dairy is out for the obvious bloating and bottom trumpeting issues, but the bland crackers/noodles, bread etc that supposedly settle tummies seem to be having the same effect as dairy.

How the hell do people with wheat and dairy allergies actually eat?

OK, back to the couch. I want to reserve some energy for cuddles with my girls (mr hissychick will just give me an awkward pat and say “there there” a la Reverend Lovejoy )  and to dream up a much more meaningful post about the two most precious little people in my universe.
