Digestive Diary

Having not eaten very much at all on monday, I woke up yesterday with a belly full of air. I felt incredibly rotund and sadly it had nothing to do with having a nice full stomach. The only thing I was full of was gas and I literally felt like my whole digestive system was full of it. It wasn’t the fun kind of wind at all!

luce says my stomach was gurgling away all night again and it sounded like I had a storm brewing in there. It kind of woke me up a few times, I didn’t come all the way round but it disturbed me and Lucy conforms I moaned and clutched my belly a few times. By the time I woke up I was so uncomfortable, it felt on par with swallowing a stomach full of air intentionally and massaging it through to my bowels, then refilling my stomach with more air except this wasn’t self inflicted!

I thought I had to rush to the toilet but as I scrambled out of bed several huge blasts of air escaped from my backside in the most humiliating fashion and luce pointed them out in the most embarrassing way! When I get to the toilet it was all air, tons of it, trumpeting loudly out of my bottom. the worst part was, I didn’t really feel deflated afterwards!  Even after farting it out for ages my stomach seemed to be making more!

I tried to eat a couple of weetabix to see if having something in my stomach would chase the rest of the gas away but that only seemed to make the matter worse! My tummy churned with upset gurgles as my guts attempted to deal with the fibrous breakfast on top of the bloating already going on inside of me and it just wouldn’t shut up! My face was bright red and Lucy kept smirking at me, knowing what that was doing to me! 

a few hours later, my stomach finally settled down but I was passing regular gas from my ass and then the burps started. I felt like I’d swallowed a bunch of air, it just kept coming! It made me hiccup a couple of times, just a few singles since I rarely if ever get a proper attack of hiccups but they were loud and violent and really hurt my chest! And as for the belches, oh my god, they went on for such a long time. Usually my burps are powerful and loud but shorter, like my body forces all the gas out in one big blast, but it felt like my stomach was having trouble letting out the influx of gas and so they came out long, gross and drawn out!

I managed some soup for dinner late in the day with some bread, just 4 slices but it was better than nothing, plus I did eat 2 tins of soup which filled my stomach out nicely and felt good sloshing around inside of me. It feels like that finally chased the worst if the gas out of me as I had a lot of uncomfortable gurgling and squelching from my bowels and finally let out a lot of loud and painful farts with my knees up to my chest before heading to bed.

this morning....? yyyyyeahhhhh, my guts are more upset than ever. But that’s a story for tomorrow
