I miss dessert
December 30, 2007 ·
I am an ice cream and chocolate syrup addict. Since childhood, I’ve eaten the cheap Kroger brand of ice cream, doused thoroughly in chocolate syrup. My mother said she always bought the generic stuff because what was the point in buying nice ice cream if you can’t taste it for the chocolate syrup?
Anyway, about a month ago I realized that my @$*& stomach always feels worse all day the day after I have ice cream. Desperate to feel better - I’ve felt extraordinarily bad of late - I tossed out the ice cream.
I’ve felt somewhat better; I haven’t had days of feeling bad all day.
But I miss my ice cream.

Have you had your gallbladder checked? A friend of mine had this exact problem… ice cream and all, and it turned out to be a bum gallbladder.
Funny you mention that.
Katie thinks it’s a gallbladder issue. I’ve so far assumed it’s just a continuation of my long-term stomach problems. But it’d be funny if I’ve put up with crazy pain over the last month or so when I could’ve done something about.
Either way, I have a doctor appointment next week, if I can make it that long!
Incidentally, what does “bum gallbladder” mean, and what can you do about it?
Funny how I just finished eating a bowl of ice cream doused in Hershey’s canned chocolate syrup,wiped my mouth,and got on the computer to find your post!This time I put a little canned whipped cream (leftover from Christmas) on it and man it was yummy!About the Gallbladder,I had mine removed but before they removed it they told me to eat a low to no-fat diet to see if that helped.It didn’t.The pain attacks continued over a few weeks and I asked my doctor to schedule surgery.The surgery was fairly easy.They made 3 or 4 tiny cuts and I never had that pain again.
huh!
That sure would make for an easy solution (vs a lifetime of pain).
Is there an ice cream alternative you can use? Soy ice cream? Frozen yogurt? Sherbet? Ok maybe not that last one if you’re set on the chocolate syrup.
I’ll be curious as to what the Doc says.You must feel very frustrated with being in so much pain.I wish you well.
