Crunchy Peanut Butter might be the devil

I still have a stomach ache. 

You know, the one I had yesterday. Well, it never went away.

It’s slowly going away now… this morning I didn’t think I’d be able to eat all day, but I think I might be able to eat some lunch now. So that’s a lot of progress.

And I think what did it this time around, was the peanuts.

I’m not supposed to eat nuts, peanuts, or anything like that because apparently, they’re hard to digest. I mean, if I eat a few nuts in a chocolate bar or something like that, that’s not going to give me a stomach ache. But I can’t have a fistful of peanuts, and expect to be fine.

So cut to this past week. Well, maybe the past four days or so… when I discovered that we had crunchy. peanut butter hiding in our cupboard. I will not eat smooth peanut butter. Only crunchy. So I happily made some toast with the spread. I probably had about five pieces (not all at once, over the course of a few days) and I think that’s what gave me the stomach ache. The accumulation of all those chunks of peanut that I never even thought about it.

I like peanut butter, but I don’t think it was worth this stomach ache.

So I guess I can just add that to the list of random things I can’t eat without feeling sick. But on the plus side, Melinda and I had popcorn the other week and I had no problems from that. I’ve recently found a bunch of foods I shouldn’t be eating though… and some are disappointing. Like broccoli. I like the little trees, but they kill me.
