@Gramdma2011 I’m workin on bouncin back lol my guts quit working again over the weekend so the last couple of days have been a festival of not digesting food which is disgusting. It’s crazy to talk to my dr about it Bc their answer is keep eating small meals and I’m like do you not understand that nothing is moving? How does piling on help?

I need something carbonated I think.

Sorry if that’s tmi lol it’s reality over here.

@Evvie No, I can handle it; used to work in a nursing home; could talk body functions while standing there eating & looking at poop. Do you have Chrohn's as well?? Didn't know anything about it until my S-I-L & Granddaughter was diagnosed. Your symptoms sound similar to what he & his daughter go through

@Evvie ...and when I ask someone how they feel, I want the 💯 on it, not the 'I'm fine' that folks like to say so as to not bother. ❤️

@Gramdma2011 I’m the same way. Though it did weird me out when I first moved to NOLA & I’m the AM I would ask people@how they were & id get answers like ‘well I haven’t pooped yet today but other than that...’

🤣 like WHAT? 😂

I get it now though lol

@Evvie I've had to glove up & do enema's & carefully dig out an impacted person's poop; we would know the urgency by smelling breaths. CNA's had to go 'smell & see' for the nurses; we caught it by looking for signs & careful charting BM's. Once in a while hospitalization was needed to.

@Gramdma2011 see I don’t ever want that to be me. I am OBSESSIVE w/making sure I’m hydrated since I don’t have triggers for hunger/thirst anymore. I have 6 different apps tht remind me to drink, I keep a pitcher of water right on my coffee table in living room, I have water bottles in every room of this house...

If I’m THAT dehydrated something is seriously wrong. Once the food leaves my stomach I’m usually ok/recovering it’s getting the stomach to move & open to the intestines that’s a prob.
