Constipated? It May Be All In Your Head!



Recommended Posts

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!

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

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 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]

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'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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
