My friend at work made homemade toffee/chocolate chip bars and gave me a couple of them. I ate them both and then found out that there are coarsely chopped almonds in them. :roll: Needless to say, the next morning - the pain came back. I am fighting back by taking the sitz baths, using my ointment, and I increased my stool softener by 1 more a day.
Next time, I am going to ask before I try anything and if there are nuts in them - no thank you!!! :(

It is so sad that we cannot just tuck into anything without wondering what will happen the next day. So sorry you had a reaction to the nuts. I have a reaction to anything off my "normal" diet. It is so annoying and so frustrating. There are others here who do not have trouble with nuts, as long as they are chewed down into rabbit food style. Fun fun fun!!

My CRS told me right from the beginning - absolutely no "sharp foods". No corn chips, tacos, nuts, popcorn, corn....the list was quite long and here I went and spoiled it by eating just a little bit of nuts. Now I understand why he told me that!! LOL

I want popcorn SO BAD but have discovered I'm terrified to eat it! We've all made these mistakes, sorry you're paying for it but don't get down on yourself. At least you got to have those yummy cookies!

A couple of times I have had something I really enjoy and just get the taste of it in my mouth, and then do not swallow it. Deep secrets coming out here...Pathetic.

Not pathetic at all! I wish I would have done that (had I known). Sometimes we just have to spoil ourselves a little, but have to do it safely!
