Taper + Eating out means I was 1400 calories over today... ops #sorrynotsorry10

Thoughts while treadmilling: why do I like donuts.... and French fries.... and cheeseburgers.... and .....and.... and....
Aka that run sucked... was mostly spent trying to hide the timer and play enough mind games to get me to live thru 4 miles. Which mean things I was hating life and going slower, which meant it took even longer.
I am actually looking forward to my pt visit Friday. Wonky ankle isn’t terrible again yet.... but it isn’t right.

Did you get a chance to look at the FODMAP I linked last month?
https://www.monashfodmap.com/ibs-central/i-have-ibs/
It might help. If it is FODMAPs that is your issue you could be better in a week, or at least seeing improvement.
PasterVincent thanks. I have had a look. I am trying to eliminate things to work out what makes a difference. Sadly garlic seems to be a no no as do onions.
Ya know... In addition to this list there also the obvious possibility of gluten. It's a pain, but an elimination diet may help figure it out.
I couldn't believe I was that kid with the food problems, and twisted femur birth defect. *sigh*. If you have migraines (check tyramine containing foods)., I'd bet in a heartbeat that it's a food intolerance. Check soy, it gives me a migraine and poos. I had Asian food with dh and had hater tummy for 2 days.
I had a raft of blood rests which showed I wasn’t ceoliac but I am eliminating gluten for a while to see if that helps.
Thanks for the tip about the ginger Shanaber. I’ll try that too.2 -
Managed to get out this morning for a short shake out run before shower, breakfast and race off the see the evil physio. Just in time too, although I was fine while running I've had a sore quad for a few days now which I noticed during this morning's warm up and cool down walks was making me walk a little funny, kind of limping a bit. Didn't hurt though. Probably should have taken that as a sign not to run but being a runner (yay I'm a runner!) I decided as I'm seeing abovementioned evil physio today it wouldn't matter.
Now I just have to hope she doesn't leave me too messed up, we've a 3 hour hike planned for Saturday and an 8km run planned for Sunday.
May goal: 55km Run so far: 3.3km5 -
Jumping on to say I officially got the job! I finish my current job on 14th June, start my new one on 24th June.
So need to sell our house. Wish us luck there!
And I see a HM in my new town on the 14th July so I'll be signing up for that!17 -

Garlic and Onions are very high in fructans, as is wheat. Celiac is an intolerance to GLUTEN which is also in wheat. Fructans are the O in FODMAP (cause they are oligosaccharides).
Here is a test for you to try, find REAL but plain sourdough bread. The kind that someone (bakery, yourself, or etc) has baked. It will still be high in gluten, but very low in fructans. If you can eat that without issue then it is not Celiac or any other flavor of gluten intolerance that is your issue, but fructans (which base on your comment about garlic and onions would be my very strong guess right now).
The yeast in Sourghdough actually eats the fructans for you over the 12 hours the bread is let to "proof" leaving behind the gluten. You can see this by looking at the "sugars" line on the nutrition panel. It will be 0 or 1. "Added Sugars" or "Total Carbs" may both be higher, but "sugars" should be 0 or 1 as fructan is counted as a "sugar" in that chart.
It should take between 4-24 hours after you eat something before you feel any negative impact if it is a fructan intolerance, as they happen in the intestines, not the stomach. Usually less than 12 hours, but everyone is different.3 -

No run yet. My schedule called for 2 miles today, but my legs are quite sore/tight and my knee wasn't feeling quite right yesterday. I spent a bit of time foam rolling and stretching, then my husband massaged my quads and inner/outer thighs. I promised him I wouldn't mess them up by running today.. so I didn't. I do feel better though, and am looking forward to restful days and lots of stretching and foam rolling before the race on Sunday!4
