(Warning = TMI)
I told you it wasn't just about glitter. Two nights ago I went to a friends house to help talk her through some things she's been going through (it ended up more like an intervention - minus the drugs or alcohol). The entire time we talked I couldn't stop drinking water. I had eaten 5000 things that day out of nervousness about this talk (oatmeal, Subway sandwich, diet coke, cereal, clam chowder, broccoli, a tortilla with almond butter & granola, french fries and a shake! maybe even more...) so I was stuffed and just couldn't get enough water. I honestly thought I had eaten too much and needed the water to help me digest it. Little did I know that my body was getting ready to rid itself of EVERYTHING. I got home about 3:30AM and fell asleep by 4. I woke up at 6 and thought, "Damn it! Why do I always wake up so early when I stay up so late!?" then proceeded to run to the bathroom and puke 6 times. Feeling relieved I dragged my ass back to bed. 45 minutes later I wake up running to the bathroom for a different reason...so not only was I on the toilet, I was holding the trash can in front of me so I could throw up at the same time. This continued until about 1PM. At one point I was on the floor throwing up in the bowl because I couldn't hold myself up without getting tunnel vision. I proceeded to scream, "I need water!! I need water!!" hoping my dad would hear me, but he didn't. After 1PM I slept for a while with the worst back ache. The ache moved down through my legs and then the stomach cramps started. I would sip a tiny bit of water, and I mean the TINIEST amount you could sip and my stomach would go into fits of cramping.
Today I am feeling a lot better, although I still have a very bad back ache and some major diarrhea. I have been able to hold down a banana, toast and a tiny bit of yogurt. I think that's good for now. I've had quite a bit of water and am hoping this is the tail end...
I'm pretty sure I narrowed it down to either almond butter or clam chowder from Trader Joes. I have a really weird feeling that it was the almond butter. But who knows. I don't think I'll be eating either of those for a long time...
Poor Stanley! Poor poor Stanley!
