I walked 1 hour today, was active doing 2 LOL and stripped the bed sheets.
I ate healthy all day. But at dinner, I "tried" eating tomato bisque soup, after not having it for about 3 months, due to the Gastritis Diet. I got a bunch of discomfort, couldn't finish the soup. So I ate a hot dog, 1/2 bun, and that was it for dinner.
So after dinner, I ate a Fiber One bar and ate a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich. I know I did NOT "need" the ice cream, but I was hungry and felt it would be soothing on my tummy, since the acidity in the soup had activated pain and discomfort. The Fiber One bar has fiber and I don't feel "guilty" having 1.
I'll be on the Gastritis Diet until mid-Sept. when I get my annual exam (physical). The insurance doesn't CALL them "physicals" because if they DO, they won't cover them!
At that time, I might get the H. Pylori test done. I now take Generic Zantac twice a day. Dr.'s orders. This first started in June and I'm so tired of it.
For instance, our 44th wedding anniversary is coming up next week. I can't eat Chinese food because it ALWAYS causes me to have Gastritis, burps, etc.. where I feel like I'll upchuck there on the table!
I thought about The Olive Garden, but can't have salad because of their strong onions. Their foods can be spicy, too. I thought about going Mexican, but if I DO, I'll need to take Bean-O because of re-fried beans. I'm afraid that taco salad would be too spicy. Applebee's has spicy foods, too. I'm wondering if we should just go to a local restaurant to eat a simple soup and sandwich. I'm leaning towards clam chowder and a sandwich now. But of course, DH is NOT on the Gastritis Diet and HE wants to eat HIS food.
I want it to be a special day and not spoil it. It's hard to find something to eat in a restaurant that's not spicy or gassy.
