I supposed I shouldn't be surprised really; arthur has made an appearance at most events for the last 5 and a half years, so why should Christmas be any different? My stomach has been furious because I've been deviating from my usual, bland diet of white carbs, white carbs and white carbs. Every Christmas event that's involved food has resulted in a night of no sleep, severe pain and vomiting. Of course, Christmas is not just the 25th and all the combination of work lunches, family parties and social gatherings has pushed my poor digestive system to breaking point. It's been boiled rice and ginger biscuits for me today....and probably for the foreseeable future.

Usually, I would accept that this is part of the ebb and flow of living with chronic illness but given that it's impacting on every part of my life, I feel it is time to find a new plan.

Are you sure its Arthur this time??? There have been a lot of people {myself included } that have picked up a stomach bug of some kind,.......Its been a good Christmas but as far as the way I and some others feel its been miserable
I hope you get back to normal {whatever that is
I still feel a bit fragile but not as bad as before
Ginger tea as well as ginger biscuits

I have had a lot of belly trouble too. Mostly to do with indulging in stuff I love, but doesn't agree with me like CHEESE :cheesygrin:
I love cheese :xmas_sad:
I do hope that a few days on your bland diet will ease things off for you - you too Hileena!

I had a productive day; got some studying done, make a lovely dinner and even had a little stroll. Back to work tomorrow, so it'll be an early night for me.
I'm off to break the ice on the bird bath. DD
