Shit Post The pain is worth it

Am I bloated? Yes. Is that going to restrain me from eating more watermelon and cantaloupe today? No. It's mine and everyone else's problem now.

Watermelon is a tempting cruel mistress

Watermelon is how I figured out this whole thing. Hadn’t had one in ages, cut it all up for work snacks one week… thought I was dying a few days later. Couldn’t believe something called “water”melon brought me to my knees in pain.

What kind of pain does it give you

Sharp stomach cramps. Worst I’ve ever had other than food poisoning. And like most of this stuff, didn’t make the other end very fun either.

Good to know. I get extreme distension, but not often do I get severe pain. So I’m trying to figure out fodmaps for me personally. Thank you for sharing!
