Digestive Diary

Yesterday I had a really awful day with an upset stomach. This will keep happening while I’m recovering, it’s definitely not the fun kind of tummy trouble! I woke up with really nasty pains in my stomach and farted several times but it didn’t relieve the pressure and I had to rush to the loo for the inevitable awful diarrhoea which kept me on the toilet for half an hour. My stomach was making the most ridiculous churning noises the entire time, it kind of sounded like someone pouring water back and forth along a tube (which I guess it kind of was in a way!)

my poor stomach continued to hurt and churn afterwards and I couldn‘t bring myself to eat breakfast. This whole illness has been extra miserable because of how little I‘ve been able to eat and how much it’s been putting me off food! I hate that so much! No one likes food more than I do! 😭

I was working all day and didn;t even really notice I was getting hungry until about three o clock when my tummy suddenly stopped hurting and started rumbling. Ohhhhh I swear my gut never used to be this vocal about being empty! I used to think a tummy would be quieter after gaining weight because of all the padding but boy was I wrong! I still wasn’t much in the mood for food so I just had some cheese and bread. My stomach went crazy and started making apocalyptic noises, like I‘d just eaten a ton of napalm or something! I had a lot of uncomfortable sensations inside of me, like I could feel it rushing its way through my digestive system in the most violent way imaginable!

I had to get the grocery delivery in last night which left me exhausted, it;’s taking a long time to get my strength back (and stomach issues aren;’t going to help! Ffs, dumb body) and I had another bellyache coming on so I crashed for a bit afterwards and had a snooze with Lucy after which I woke up with HORRIBLE stomach cramps and had to scramble off the bed to go to the toilet. As I moved a TON f horrible gas escaped out of my ass in the most ridiculously loud, long blasts which were absolutely mortifying! The gas continued to escape as I got to the toilet and a load more escaped with a new bout of diarrhoea - what a horrible way to end the day!

heads up - there won;t be a digestive diary to,orrow, I;m spending the whole day running an art marathon to try to raise funds for our move and I most likely won;t have time to get on here so there will be a double dose on Friday 💙
