The Hubby went grocery shopping last weekend without me. He bought some turkey that was not quite what we normally buy. Hindsight being what it is, this was obviously a mistake. He make burgers with it the other night and 10 minutes later my stomach was aching. Needless to say, it was a rough night. And a rough next day.
The “you-shouldn’t-have-eaten-that” reactions suck. My IBS issues are different when it is just a “normal” IBS reaction to everyday things (like breathing, the sky being blue, it being a day that ends in “y”, etc.) versus when it is a reaction to something I shouldn’t have eaten. Those usually entail lots of stomach pain, cramping and pain, leading to lots of exhaustion. Not diarrhea by definition but totally not well bowels. Sludge.
To make it even better, the sludge followed three days of painful constipated bowel movements. I do not understand how my bowels allow themselves to produce output that does not fit out the exit door without pain. Something is obviously screwy with my body. But then again, we already knew that. haha
