Commiserations! Reminds me of an awful Christmas I had two years ago, long before I had ever heard of bg. I live alone and avoid social Christmases, so I rather revel in the freedom to eat whatever I fancy. On Christmas Eve I found that my favourite high class supermarket was selling off its quality veg at knockdown prices. I took advantage and came home with my favourite Jerusulem artichokes (not often available), parsnips, sprouts etc etc. And most of my Christmas Day was ruined, as after my super-healthy vegetarian dinner I suffered from the most extreme and agonising bloat I have ever known, before or since.
Yup. I thought my intestines were going to explode and we were getting on a plane! The cramping and severe bloat are slowing going away since dinner on Friday but I have no interest in food. I was going to enjoy my vacation and I was the chef so making all this food and getting a handfuls worth seemed wrong so I indulged a bit. Those darn veggies, especially lettuce! Cobb salad was romaine ( evil) shrimp, egg, bacon, avocado, pico de Gallo, cilantro and spicy dressing. Brie before. I think too much food and too rich.
The first night was roasted lamb chops, asparagus, salad, avo slices and roasted sweet potatoes ( not for me) and I just had the lamb and asparagus as I didn’t want to ruin the vacation with a horrid gut
Next two nights chicken salad with bacon, eggs and chopped veg. Good again.
What’s with the darn veggies?!
Hope your meal is better this year. It’s just not worth the consequences. And if my stomach isn’t happy, I don’t sleep and bg is high. Arg...
