Digestive Diary

Yesterday I woke up with another gutful of air even though I’d managed to eat before bed. I guess the rest of my digestive system was still full of air that needed to come out and as I woke up I farted constantly for a few minutes, one after another, but my poor insides still felt all bloated and stretched.

i had a very upset stomach and had to spend a long time on the toilet with more gas and by the time I’d finished my gut felt worse than ever. It was all swollen and sore and it felt like my bowels were all stretched out from how full of air they’d been. It was probably not the best idea to try eating some weetabix for breakfast because afterwards I gurgled and churned horribly and I got the most horrible stomach ache. It was so hard to carry on working while my gut hurt so badly and I felt hugely bloated all day. I even took a few photos and video as you can see from yesterday’s posts! I had to stop and rub my tummy for a while; it bubbled furiously for a long time and eventually eased enough to go back to work.

eventually I passed a lot of gas and started to feel hungry again, finally, although I wasn;t feeling up to cooking so I snacked on a couple of bread crusts with cheese and ended up with another huge stomach ache! It didn’t matter what I did, I ended up with pain raging through my guts.  Eventually I managed a couple of tins of soup too and they sat in my stomach for ages, churning away, giving me tomato-tasting burps and occasional hiccups.

eventually when I went to bed I got a nasty case of the stomach gurgles, these long gassy drawn out noises like huge bubbles shifting inside of me, constantly for hours. I was so tired I needed to sleep desperately but it kept kind of disturbing me! Luce teased me as it tumbled away and eventually went to sleep 💙
