A fun-filled trip to Las Vegas turned painful one night, and I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. It scares me when there seems to be no reason for my pain. I imagine myself feeling that bad with no control over it, and I can't imagine living that way. However, when I told Sister 1 what I had done that day, she immediately zeroed in on the fact that we had eaten at one of Las Vegas's famous all-you-can-eat buffets.
Ascorbic acid is commonly used on display foods to preserve their fresh appearance. So, food that we typically think of as healthy can be very unhealthy, such as salad bars and fish from the display case. Last night I ate black olives, "a bladder friendly food" according to the ICN diet. Pain spiked after my first pee after the olives. This morning, "duh...they were on display!!!" Well, at least I figured it out.
If you had a pain spike that you could not identify a cause for, tell us about it in the Get Answers section at the bottom of the blog. We will try to help you identify a trigger, so you can avoid it in the future.
