Scared to leave the house this week
I’ve had this weird flare-up since Sunday night and it’s getting to the point where I’m checking where every bathroom is before I even get out of the car. It started after a stupid spicy wrap I had at the mall and my gut hasn't reset since.
I tried the usual stuff like Imodium but that just makes me feel like a brick for three days and then the whole cycle starts all over again.
Today was the worst because I had to sit through a 2-hour team meeting and I could literally hear my stomach gurgling the whole time. Super embarrassing.
I’m currently just drinking mint tea and I've been using ENTEROSGEL since yesterday morning just to see if it helps with the bloating and the constant trips to the toilet. It’s definitely better than those chalky tablets but man, I just want to eat a normal meal without worrying about a "disaster" 20 minutes later.
Does anyone else get that sharp pain right under the ribs when it’s this bad? I’m trying to figure out if this is just stress or if I need to cut out coffee entirely which would suck. anyway just venting i guess. i'm exhausted.
