Digestive Diary Round-up
Added 2022-01-10 11:14:20 +0000 UTCIt’s been a bit of a disaster in terms of eating for the last few days. One of the health issues I have to deal with is ME/CFS and I get prone to attacks of very painful mouth ulcers when I’m struggling, and although it hasn’t happened in a long time it’s happened in the past few days. It makes it hard to speak let alone eat.
Friday all I could really manage were a couple of tins of soup and some cheese, Saturday I struggled through some snacks but couldn’t eat very much and the same yesterday. With drinks and stuff I managed to hit around 2,000 calories still on each day but it’s really complicated my struggle to gain and when I’m sick my body seems to tear through calories and I end up losing instead!
It might take me a week or so to get past this rocky phase so my eating is going to be a bit haphazard.
my stomachs been waking me up rumbling like a monster from hunger at about 6 in the mor ing which is super embarrassing and really uncomfortable!
in other news I’ve been absolutely full of gas all weekend. I’ve been extremely farty, my bowels have been bubbling away like crazy and I’ve been letting out gassy blasts at regular intervals. Yesterday I felt so bloated and uncomfortable I had to ask Luce to rub my tummy for me and she has the magic touch. Her hands felt so warm and soothing travelling across my swollen belly and I couldn’t help moaning with relief and pleasure. When I sat up a massive belch rumbled oit of me for several seconds and my cheeks went very red. I thought the gas was going to go down the other end - shows how much I know! 😂
I have a very gurgly stomach this morning. Feels a bit upset. I guess I will have to see what happens!
