BRAT diet, ad nauseum…

bratdiet1Yeah, so it’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve posted. I managed to get either food poisoning or a VERY nasty stomach bug twice since my last post. Plus the usual preggie nausea. And the kids keep waking up about 3 times a night each. Lord help us. It’s really wearing my family down. 

The good side of all this is that for a couple of days (after ditching a friend’s birthday party to puke in the parking lot — classy!) I forgot to take my Zofran and suddenly felt immensely better — no nausea whatsoever, not even those sudden retching spells. I wonder if the miraculous (and expensive: $3 each, and that’s with insurance) Z-pill been making me sick. This is one of those krazymaking weeks where the things that make you better make you sick. The things that make you sick make you better. (Okay, I’m still waiting for that last part to happen.)

But now that I’m finally crawling out of the stomach bug chasm of doom, I just may see light up ahead. If the Zofran has been part of the problem, and not taking it helps…. well, all I can do is test my little theory and hope I win some lottery trifecta of no flu, no nausea, no nuthin’. 

Because I really do want to get back to the gym.
