Damn you, bowels. Damn you for hurting me, twisting and writhing and causing me pain. I should be better to you, maybe feed you some fibre ever now and again, but honestly, do I really deserve this torture? —And ouch again

I think you should see a doctor if you haven’t already…
TMI – exlax
Maybe you’re lactose intolerant. Or maybe, if you’re in your early 20’s, you have an undiagnosed bowel disease (Crohn’s, Colitis..). Or maybe it’s something really bad, like diverticulitis.
Or maybe it’s just gas.
maybe you shouldn’t have rammed that dildo up your ass so far. or is it a flu virus of sorts? i will go with the first one.
Sounds like IBS. My sympathies.
Just a tip: sometimes high fibre, especially grain fibre and some veggie fibre can cause IBS attacks, so try some fruit fibre and see what happens.
My ex had diverticulitis at the early age of 29 – it’s rare for younger people – he was in excruciating pain, but more in his abdomen then in the bowels. I have endometriosis wrapped around my bowel…are you a chick or a dude OP? Either way see a doctor – do not go online and self diagnose!!
OP, start putting ground flax seed into all your meals.
Maybe you have an active tapeworm from Larsen’s.
You really need a super donair from Robert….s .
Its about 10 lbs of goodness.
Somewhere near the bottom is fibre. Although to be truthful its not recognisable when you finally get to the bottom ! But its the thought that counts.
Drink some warm Olands – or cold Olands that stuff is like Liquid Plumber…
Flax murders my stomach 🙁 Does the opposite of what it’s designed to do. And that’s with my fluid intake which is well over 3-4L/day. And no caffeine. And no sugar! FML.
Yay PK, we be IBS sistas ;D! I met this gay guy downtown in the summer and we became instant best friends because we both had IBS…don’t ask how we got on the topic..it must have been because I have to starve myself if I plan on going out in the eve and it was like 3am or something. It made me ponder some things though…being a gay man and having IBS must suck 🙁 Well I guess he could be a top man. But what if he fell in love with another topper? I’ll stop…
