   Weird thing last night. Yesterday afternoon, I did an advocated SUP lesson and the instructor really got me working my core muscles.

   Then in the evening win the way back, we stopped at Pizza Express at Cobham services on the M25. I was prepared to spend the rest of the trip back in pain, because I pretty much always get abdominal pain after eating a meal.

   But it didn't hurt. I felt full, but without pain, and this is a vanishingly rare experience for me. Eating = pain. It's always been like that, and I basically expect it.

   Except not last night.

   Meanwhile this morning, I have massive stiffness in my abdominal muscles.

   Kinds feels like too much to be mere coincidence.

     @shimriez I sat in a car for 90 minutes after eating a full meal. Normally this would be agony, but almost nothing. It was freaky.

     @Uraael I am gluten intolerant (not coeliac), so I avoid that, but that was because of extra-intestinal stuff (if I eat gluten, I get rheumatoid arthritis. if I don't, I don't).

     I have tried elimination diets. I know my worst trigger foods, but ultimately FOOD = PAIN, and there appears to be nothing I can do about it.

     Exercising beforehand won't work. I'll just opt for hypoglycaemia as the path of least resistance.

     SUP = Stand Up Paddleboard

     Oh you poor thing.
     
     I've been battling an IBS diagnosis since early March this year. Eating was Pain for me too. Every meal. But I lived with it, for years, because part of me didn't really believe it could be the food I was eating. Not food. Holy god, no. Pfft. As if.
     
     But my health centre put me on a FODMAP diet and it has Transformed my life. When I eat right = PAIN FREE. Discomfort free. Gas Free. Bloating free. energy-loss free. It's worked miracles for the other end of the digestion process too (sorry, couldn't avoid saying that).
     
     SUP?

     @goatsarah@thegoatery.dyndns.org Ach, that sounds so difficult, Sarah. Worse than what I have. You have my sympathies.
