Evening Girls!!
Feeling it tonight, not been able to eat since yesterday lunchtime now and now terribly shakey, shivery and dizzy aswell as feeling sick!!
Was just reading some very unhelpful advice from google re sickness!! xxx

Yes, a chocolate tasting club - I get monthly selection boxes through my letterbox and they are yummy! You get a scorecard and you can score each choc out of 10 and then send the scores online or by post and the ones with the highest member ratings at the end of the year get put in a special collection!

Mmmmm chocolate.

My parcel was a pair of trousers from Ebay (NOT maternity I hasten to add!!) which actually would have fitted through the letterbox...the postman was obviously having a 'special' moment!!

Carreg that club sounds AWESOME! - Wish i'd known about it while we were in the UK! Will definitely check out the link.

24/7 sorry to hear you're feeling so grotty. Have you not eaten cos of nausea? Supposedly ginger tea works well for nausea, though i've never tried it personally. But if you can't eat maybe you could drink something instead - like a sports drink or something which has sugar and electrolytes (not sure if they've got gluten in though). It's important not to get dehydrated or to get low blood sugar and i think i remember you saying before that you struggle with your blood sugar already as a result of the CD. Otherwise was also works well for an upset tummy is toast with a thin layer of marmite on (preferably no butter or if you do put butter then just very little). You really must try and get something in.

Sorry to hear you're feeling rubbish Jen...I agree re the ginger tea suggestion, and ginger biscuits too. When I was sick with Felix the only thing I could face was porridge

Thanks girls, I can't have energy drinks, but have been having sips of lemonade every few hours, and a few plain crisps, but they are not well recieved. I will have to see if my Mum can get me ginger GF biscuits tomorrow. OH is just having some beans on toast, and my poor stomach!! I have a horrible pain in my shoulder/arm too, happy days!! xxxx

ooh, been sitting here feeling a bit peckish, just remember i've got half a tube of Pringles in the kitchen! Think i'm gonna get it quickly

no idea if it'll help with pregnancy related nausea etc, but my mom always used to give us flat coke and grated apple that's been left to start turning brown to eat when we'd had stomach bugs and hadn't been able to keep anything else down.

That sounds wrong - flat coke to drink. and then grated apple to eat - peel the apple, grate it and leave it for about 15 min so it just starts turning brown - the oxidation does somethign to make it slightly easier to digest or something.

I wish I could drink coke now!!
Having a couple of crisps and a few sips of sprite now, I know its all rubbish, but there isn't much plain GF food to eat, yawn!! xxx

 

[Huggles]

that's what made me think of coke and apples - was trying to think what's gluten free but toast, marie biscuits, and basically everything else i could think of i'm fairly certain contains gluten. Then i remembered the coke and apples and hoped that at least they woudl maybe be GF!

I think at this point it's just important to get something in, even if it is junk

 

[Huggles]

Does rice contain gluten? Grilled bland chicken breast served with bland rice might also work. (it's good for cats and dogs when they have upset tummies )

 

[24/7]

I can have rice, horray!!
Maybe will see if I can face that tomorrow, as am feeling slightly better at the moment, so hopefully it will last!! I want to be able to go to bed tonight and not have to sit up on the sofa, I miss OH too much!!
I haven't ever admitted this before to anyone other that hubby, but I have a very very severe vomit phobia, so this is exta hard!! xxx

 

[Huggles]

shame man - definitely doesn't make things any easier! i also hate vomiting, but thankfully i'm not scared of it. Big to you - hope you have a good night and feel better tomorrow.

Thank you posh hair lady.
Have you ever watched the bill when you were in the uk? I loved it so much and it was the last episode the other night and am now watching a behind the scenes show. xxxx

 

[Huggles]

lol thanks for the name - i've been feeling a bit sensitive and insecure about the hair do - not sure whether it really suits me or if people are just trying to be nice saying it looks nice.

Nope, never watched the bill. Used to watch Hollyoaks though!

 

[Huggles]

Chickened out and deleted post...

I think it really suits you, and I truely mean that, I'm always funny about having my hair cut too, and as a result never have anything different as I just like to stay the same so nobody notices me. Outside of bnb I'm very shy and as you said earlier, I don't really like socialising either, just home for me. xx
