Constipated? It May Be All In Your Head!

Just read this today from one of my favorite head docs! Mind officially blown. I will be trying to gargle several times a day now!

    Soooo let me get this straight: If I scream, yell, holler and cry like a baby (activating my posterior throat muscles) I can ? like one too?!?!? On it.

    It's cathartic if nothing else...

    I totally get this! Like many, immediately after surgery I was badly constipated. In fact I didn't even pass gas until day 4. It felt like my insides had forgotten how to work. It was almost like I ha

IKR?!!! I think we should all give it a 1-2 week test run and report results here! Who's game?

It was almost like I had to teach myself how to fart again, working intentionally to get my muscles to relax. I wish I had read about the gargling thing beforehand. [emoji4]

I'll gargle, but not sure I want to give up my bi-weekly ClearLax dose...:70_poop:

Just the title makes the mind boggle. It brings a whole new meaning to calling someone sh$thead!

IKR? No ways am I giving it up. LOL. I'm gargling coffee...just sayin' (with ClearLax and a Colace back). hehe.

Went to ER yesterday, bowel habits have undergone a change, tentative diagnosis ILEITIS, suppose it's gastroenterologist visit next, see what his learned mind thinks should come next. Maybe it's just I need more gargling or a mood-pill since its all in my HEAD, really not. Maybe I should call myself Royal, spending time in the Porcelain Throne Room. LOLCTDW, laughing out loud cause tears don't work!
