Too many almonds

Hi, after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I have changed my lifestyle and way of eating for the last 3 months nearly and have managed to lose nearly a stone and a half... the other night... i don't know why but I felt I desparately needed something sweet.... I miss my odd sweet but continued to gorge half a large jar of almond brittle made by friends in Spain... I couldn't eat it quick enough... it was like some sort of fix... anyway since then..approx 36 hours ago I have had the most severe stomach cramps and bloating I thought I was going to have to go to hospital... sometimes so severe i couldn't hardly move. It did calm down for an hour or so after going to loo.... I know it was really bad to have eaten what I did and will never do it again but I just couldn't stop myself.... i wondered if it was anything to do with the diabetes... or just an intolerance to maybe the almond.... or should I say the almonds in such great quantity... i have really learnt my lesson... the pain is still quite bad but is getting slightly less in severity. Any input would be good please....

Well this is the fourth day and I am still in a little pain from all the almond brittle...it's certainly something I won't do again.... unfortunately I don't feel i've had too much help re what I can and can't eat from the doctors/nurses so still finding my feet..... it's a lapse I don't think I'll be doing again.... many thanks.... :|

Thanks Nigel..... you're right ... in moderation.... so probably approx 50 almonds covered in toffee wasn't the ideal thing.. just as well I left the last dozen in the jar. A lesson to be learned I thinks. :lol:

Thanks for that info Hobs... i never knew they contained so much fibre...
