Hi everyone,

I'm new to MFP and I have done really well on my diet for the past 2 weeks. Well because of the holiday today I had a piece of cake (the rest of my diet was as normal) and now I'm in so much pain! Is this normal? I never had stomach pains after eating junk food before. Thanks!

    Well, it could be food poisoning...

    ... Or your body is probably just not used to such fatty/sweet food anymore. I can't eat beef or anything fried anymore without having stomach issues soon after.

    However, depending on your amount of pain, I'd check with a Doctor!

    This is anecdotal, but sometimes I get a slight stomach ache after eating foods high in sugar without other foods... like a cupcake mid-afternoon, and far enough from lunch that my tank is empty.
