Pooping and farting

My 10 week old has decided to throw reflux into the mix of things now. Poor little soul. Not only does she get such bad gas pains it makes her scream but the reflux voms are just constant now.
I’m back in the rocker after trying to set in her bassinet for the third time tonight. When I last picked her up the poor thing was having a farting fit and poop explosion (thankfully no blow out). As I was changing her she was screaming in pain then threw up all over herself. I feel bad because before I set her down she had fed for probably an hour, nursed to sleep. I held her upright on me and pat/rubbed her back for 20 mins before setting her down…she didn’t burp though.
So, can reflux babies be nursed to sleep? I’m just worried she might choke in her sleep.
Should I start feeding her in short bursts of say five mins and burp her in between? I’m pretty new to managing reflux.

She was 13, riddled with dementia, and her back legs gave out a week before the end. We had to take her in early because the painkillers were making her poop bloody diarrhea. But I loved that silly little idiot dog with my life. I carried her upstairs for the last year, and she watched me work every day. She laid in my bed and snooze and I'd take breaks to snuggle with her or take her out.
I don't know how to sleep without her hogging half my bed. It seems too cold without her. I even miss her war crime farts. (I'm pretty sure her gas was a chemical weapon.) I know I did everything, but I wish I had more time.
We're looking into adopting another dog but it seems so slow. I just need another dog to give me that same routine. I know it won't be the same as her, but I need the daily checklist to keep me on track.
I just want my snuggle muffin back. :(

My son is a good kid, but he is high energy and wants to make other kids laugh and like him. As a result, this get him in trouble at school by needing to be consistently told to quiet down or stop with the bathroom talk (talking about farts, poop, etc.).
I am starting to receive consistent emails from his teacher and we have taken away “Roblox” for the week, play dates, etc. I am not sure what else to do….
Has anyone else had something similar? What are you doing in terms of punishment for a 6 year old?

Shortly after we started solids, how my baby poops has changed, obviously! At first it was just a bit thicker, peanut buttery consistency but as of two days ago....
She has solid poops? Like, they're round shaped, sometimes pickle shaped, and soft and squishy. She doesn't seem constipated, but she is a bit crankier recently due to her teeth slowly coming out.
I guess I just wanted to ask is this.... Okay? I tried calling our pediatrician today but she didn't pick up, and this didn't seem urgent enough to reach out to emergency doctors, so I figured I could ask here?
For reference, baby is 7 months, started introducing solids a month ago! She is a very happy active baby and loves eating, farts and burps on her own now.

Im 15 weeks pregnant and have endo and wondering if people have experienced painful symptoms that might be from endo? After some googling i have found that "crotch lightning" is a real thing and it describes exactly how i feel.. Occasional cramping.. painful poops and farts. Very sore hips and pelvis (probably not endo related). Im worried these symptoms are going to get worse into the pregnancy.. Does anyone have any remedies that worked for them? Thank you :)

I was diagnosed with SIBO near the end of 2019 at about 21 years of age. I had just gone through a major surgery with which I was given heavy rounds of antibiotics. They told me it was IBS, bad food, food allergies and possibly Crohn's. I immediately knew it was none of those as those were all just symptoms of some greater gastrointestinal issue. I was passed around doctor to doctor and eventually took a lactose breath test, which ultimately diagnosed me with Constipational SIBO. I have previous posts regarding a thorough list of all my symptoms, but I can cover some here.
-Serious constipation after eating that didn't reduce or let up for days at a time. I know it's insensitive or whatever, but there's no other comparison other than that I looked like a pregnant woman.
-Unable to poop. When I did, the stool was malformed in crazy different shapes and textures like a clown was blowing ballon animals out the ass or something (you get my point).
-Uncontrollable belching, sounded like Chewbacca or like I was farting from my mouth. Inconvenient for being at work or dinner with friends/family.
-Acid reflux when laying down. Had to sleep inclined. Restless sleep.
-Drained of energy, mentally slow, brain fog.
-Bad breath that didn't go away from brushing and mouthwash.
-Face Bloat, swollen lymph nodes
-(VULGAR WARNING) My doctors dismissed this pretty quickly, but I should mention anyway for the guys reading and I'll be honest, I'm still not sure if its connected or not. My semen was very, very dry; no water to it at all, even though I had been drinking water. Dark, smelly pee as well.

• Farting was also somewhat uncontrollable. Farts were always wet and smelled like what I just ate. I didn't notice this at the time, but I could suck em right back up and it would come out the other end. Hence the Chewbacca sound effects. This was a big one, since I was insecure to be naked around my girlfriend out of fear of turning the bed sheets into a goddamn Hershey's chocolate wrapper. If you know, you know. It's also just embarrassing when one of em slides out on accident y'know? No matter where you are or who you're with, a fart is always embarrassing.

I did the rounds of antibiotics again (Rifaxin), but to no avail. I actually tried twice, a year apart from each other. I also tried herbal stuff in between, but that didn't work. It was crippling to the point of futility. I had nothing else left to do, but slow dance in my methane-filled room, stay at home and pick odd jobs that would help save face like working in the produce aisle in the back of a supermarket or do night shift at gas stations. FODMAP's helped a lot, but its not a permanent solution. More on that later. Basic Water, like 8+ ph levels, was only a temporary solution as well. For a long time, my diet was basically Green Plantains, a cup of Rice, half a Potato, eggs, heavy on the Meats and basically only salt for seasoning.
All this being said, if you made it this far, I've made progress both in life and in my SIBO journey. It was about this time when COVID hit, so everyone stayed indoors. It was here I learned the importance of self-improvement. This included meditation and listening to my body. Now that I was free to be alone, basically because we had to, I realized something. I asked myself, "What would happen if I just let my body function the way that it wanted to. Instead of being ashamed and having to hide the burping and the farting, what would happen if I just farted and burped? So I started taking walks, which turned into more vigorous exercise. I was actually pretty drained from just the stomach issues, but I pushed to see what would happen. It was here I realized I had slow gut motility and not only did the gas came out, but i also started going to the bathroom more regularly.
I started thinking in terms of societal norms, or rather the constraints of society. A long time ago, humans rarely ever had these problems because we walked everywhere. We also didn't have 9 to 5's that we had to maintain. I realized that stress was a big component too, or at least that it didn't help thinking about where and how I'm gonna get my next hustle. Anyway, I went down this rabbithole of ancestral lifestyle that may or may not have been partly influenced by The Liver King - if you know, you know.
To make a long story short, the biggest solution I've come across in my own personal experience is to drink about a gallon of water a day and to burp until your little heart can't take no more. I do belly rubs and push into my intestines with a combination of using my hands and breathing techniques. Making sure to breath from the nose and into the belly, not into the shoulders. I've learned to take time for myself and to take life slowly. As of right now, overnight I can turn a 36 waist into a 34 just by releasing gas. I combine this with whole foods and I pretty much make everything from scratch. No garlic, no onion, no gluten. I didn't know I was celiac until I got SIBO, but I'm not exactly sure if SIBO makes it worse or not. I advised my friends, who assumedly don't have any conditions, to go gluten-free and they felt better. If you're a guy, it helps the man-titties go away. I have good low-FODMAP recipes too, just ask.
My advice is if you're still reading this and you have a job, but are struggling with SIBO, then take a week off. Take a day or two for yourself to clear the brain fog and drink a lot of water. Start a meal prep for the rest of the week. This should take you literally all day. Get a chicken soup going with carrot and zucchini, a little bit of tomato paste with no garlic or onion. Check the ingredients. ON EVERYTHING. Download the Monash app on your phone, it's worth the 30 bucks. Most of all, push that gas out. I know it sucks and your throat might hurt a little after. But you'll feel like a shave-tailed Louie after one session. Imagine what would happen if you did that for 3, 4, 5 days in a row.
Conclusion, I still have SIBO. I'm working on it. I'm perfectly fine with the idea that it may never go away, I realize it wasn't my fault and there's no need to stress over it any further. I eat gluten-free and stay away from garlic and onion still, but besides that I eat what I want. At the end of the week I burp it all out. I haven't really tried for more than 3 or 4 consecutive days because it gets annoying and it hurts, but I imagine if I kept going I could conquer the world. I also realize theres a problem with the Ileocecal valve, which is exactly why I'm unable to pass the gas in my intestines out the butt. It's like a gate with a lock that lost its key. I haven't researched any further on the matter, but from what I read 3 or 4 years ago nobody knows what SIBO even is, how to fix it, or even if its a symptom of a larger issue. There are scholarly articles that may or may not tell you something useful that cost like 40 dollars. Not saying it's a waste of time, but I just don't want to cough that up if its not going to tell me anything I don't already know. That being said, if anyone has any useful information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is just a little life update, since other people have responded to my previous posts from about three years ago from which I never responded back because I've been busy catching up on life. I will repost parts of this information here to other communities as it pertains to the subjects of IBS, SIBO, and FODMAPS.

where you can fart and poop corn dogs

I have posted a lot in the past days to try to understand how to make this better.
I'm a 40 yo male. In the past, I went down to 103 pounds and was hospitalized for that. Recovery took YEARS. Last year, I was at a healthy 135 lbs. I was so extremely proud of myself. My digestive symptoms were fairly under control and my diet as varied as it has ever been in the last years, while continuing to avoid some known trigger foods.
I lost a big chunk of weight with a stupid stomach bug.
Then. I work as a front desk agent in a hotel and we had hockey groups every weekend. Extreme stress. Lost weight.
My roommate caught a stomach bug in March. Extreme major stress as I was very very scared of catching it.
And I continue losing, because I can't eat as much as before. I'm now down to 118 lbs. I recognize all the symptoms, having already been this underweight: lack of appetite, more digestive issues, anxiety, effects on libido, cold all the time and a feeling of fragility and vulnerability, increased depression and anxiety. Brain fog will kick soon in the next pounds melting away.
What happens: frequent bowel movements in the afternoon, with cramps and abdominal pain lasting in the evening until my bedtime on my worse days. The BMs are made of soft pieces of stool or longer ones, but only one stool. Sometimes, I will have larger BMs. I will have to go to the toilet 10 times with those small poops. People told me it may be lack of fiber, so I ordered Metamucil.
I had lots of mucus and wet farts too, but this reduced down since I started taking Align probiotics. I saw blood, bright red blood once in the middle of mucus.
I went to see a doctor. My regular doctor is on maternity leave until September. Walking clinic doctor ordered a colonoscopy, which will be in two months..can stay in my condition for two months.
I'm not interested in getting tons of tests with weird liquids and all. I did them all in the past, don't want to redo them.
I just went to get back to where I was a few months ago.
I tried Nerva hypnotherapy, not doing nothing for me for the moment.
I don't know what to do. I'm scared of what will happen if I lose more weight. I'm very depressed right and struggling a lot 🥺
I wanted to go to the lake tomorrow with my roommate to enjoy the nice but with me spending my whole afternoons a the bathroom, it will be not possible.

I started animal based intermittently like 6 months ago and have been pretty consistent. However from listening to Paul Saladino, I've heard body odors should not be unpleasant including poop and farts, and this hasn't been the case for me. Plus I still have eczema and had a flare up worse than when I eat whatever I wanted.
This is nitpicking but I'd love to know if I can address those things with diet. Until now the only thing in my diet different from Paul Saladino is; occasional bacon and salami, eating non local or organic fruit and unpasteurized butter (half a stick a day).
If I can't fix eczema I'll try strict carnivore but I was really hoping I could use animal based because I could really use the carbs to gain weight and muscle for rugby

please it would be so fucking funny to have some lady doing sign language off to the side while the boys are talking about farts and poop

TW! Suicide
HELP!! Ever since i was 7-8 I have had anxiety, though every year it gets worse and worse. Im at the point where i never go outside and lay in bed all day, rotting away. I have done this for maybe 4 years, though the past 2 years i legit haven’t went outside at all, where as before i would maybe go to the store with my mom or something. I was even homeschooled due to my anxiety. The most embarrassing part is that its all because of the fact that i have to fart/poop when i am anxious. Knowing this, i get even more anxious. Its a snowball effect.
When i did go to school, i would cry and beg my mother to not make me go because of the fact that i would constantly have to fart during class. I never did, i would just hold it in. Even when i did so, my stomach would make loud growling noises that i swear the entire class could hear but idk if they did. When i was finally homeschooled, i stayed inside because i was afraid of having to fart. Yes, even around my family.
But after some traumatic events this anxiety has caused which i cannot go into detail abt, i never want to leave my bed again. Unfortunately, my family is broke and we can’t afford to live in our trailer anymore so we are getting kicked out. My mother can’t afford to buy a home and we don’t wanna keep getting kicked out of homes because we can’t afford rent. So, she decided on getting a camperv for all of us to live in. I thought this trailer was bad, but i cannot imagine having to live in an rv with my family. I get bad anxiety thinking about it, and as im typing i am shaking.
I know i am dramatic for being so afraid of these things, especially around my family, but i don’t think i have any control over it. I just don’t know what i am gonna do. All my life i’ve felt hopeless and isolated from the world. I have even gone so far as to considering suicide multiple times when at my limit. Im just so tired. I don’t wanna live this way, but i am too afraid to get out of my comfort zone or tell anyone.
Im only 15 and i have had no childhood. Its just been me on my device in bed all day long. I don’t even remember anything due to my anxiety sometimes, like most of my childhood. My mom tells me she wishes the old me before my anxiety, though i dont remember it. I wish i could live life like a normal person and not like a freak with my stupid anxiety. Rn all i know i can do to prepare to move into the rv is to not eat which i haven’t for 2 days so far. I am so afraid of getting a stomach ache or diarrhea, especially in a car. I haven’t even been in a car for years, but every time i was in one it would be a terrible experience.
Im writing this to maybe get some reassurance or tips, and to get it off my chest as i am having a mental breakdown. I read some others having a similar issues on here, so i got a bit of courage to share my own story. Srry its long.

What went wrong? Up til now (born at 37 wks, 7 wks old), LO has been sleeping 2-2.5 hr stretches all night in his bassinet--not great but I can manage my sleep deprivation by adding a daytime nap while he naps. About once a week, he'd grace us with a 3-hr stretch. Earlier this week, he even slept 3.5 hrs and I thought we were on the up-and-up.
Routine is the same. When he wakes, I nurse to sleep, burp, hold 20 min to enter deep sleep/prevent reflux, lay in bassinet next to me/bed.
He's stopped pooping at night, but has gas and occasionally there will be a small "fart poop stain." If there is any poop (including a fart stain) or its been 4+ hrs, I'll integrate a diaper change, slather diaper cream, and reswaddle prior to/in middle of feed to extend the feed. Room is kept dark and sound machine is on.
It's gone to shit the past 3 nights. He cannot string together sleep cycles. Two nights ago, he started with 3-hr stretch and then the next 5 stretches were 1 hr each. Last night was 1 hr, 1 hr 20, 20 min, 40 min, 2.5 hr, 40 min. Yes, I tried waiting 5-10 min to ensure it wasn't active sleep cries vs real cries. I also tried rocking/shushing without boob to see if he'd calm but that would get him more mad until I offered my boob to calm him down (he refuses pacifier). Finally we caved and my husband had LO contact nap the last 2.5 so I could sleep.
I am EBF and am seriously considering adding formula for last feed/during night in hopes it keeps him asleep longer. Also, I will be returning to work at the end of 12 wks while my husband stays at home with LO and need my sleep to function. But while formula may solve the 2-2.5 hr hunger wakeup call, that doesn't address his new waking up between sleep cycle issue at 20-40-60-80 min.
Do I cave and have him contact nap on us all night and create bigger issues down the road?
EDIT: I take him on morning and evening walks every day to help establish his circadian rhythm and he does sleep 2:1 more during night vs day.

Throwaway. I played with two dildos yesterday and used saliva as lube (i know not adequate). I did anal play for 10-15 times and got used to it but I almost always used lube. Yesterday it seemed to be going in smooth and i was somewhat rough but mostly gentle. I finished, showered and packed up. But a few hours later I had to go number 2 and i saw some blood come out with mucus but no poop. I felt bloated ever since then. I did poop before sleeping and didn't notice blood in the stool, just darkish brown. Went to sleep hoping the bloating would go away but I woke up this morning feeling the same. I feel some air moving around inside and i do fart but not much. Could this be a rupture? I have no fever no chills no pain just bloatness. And I didn't notice any more blood. Hope someone answers. Thanks
Edit: I feel theres a good amount of trapped gas/air but I can't release anything.

Symptoms of cmpa or normal baby?
Almost 6 weeks old. Symptoms..
trouble passing gas/pooping. This takes up 90% of his life unfortunately. Sometimes cries but mostly uncomfortable and pushing and straining.
Unlatching and crying during breastfeeding. I believe this is due to gas as feeding makes it sorta happen. he arches back and cries , or sometimes just unlatches makes a concentrated face and farts but always ends up crying.
Occasional green poo, slightly mucusy like little bit of a sticky stringy texture but mostly normal I think. normally yellow or dark yellow.
Baby acne, however I noticed little spots on ears and head that seem to go away and come back.
Reflux, sometimes after a feed he vomits quite a lot, sometimes just milk sometimes curds, ovcasionally he doesn’t vomit at all but seems very uncomfortable and gets a wet sound kinda know it’s coming and choking sound when flat on back
Hiccups, pretty regularly gets the hiccups
Hates being on back suddenly , lots of contact naps
He cries but not excessively , usually seems to be because he’s having gas pain.
Went and saw an osteopath she thinks milk protein allergy, said if his guts sorted out he would be the chillest baby ever, cue I don’t think he really cries for much more than gut pains
I’m struggling with cutting out dairy and soy. we had 24 hours the other day he started smiling didn’t cry was very happy and now we are back to uncomfortable and it’s very disheartening
I have 6 week checkup in 2 days, talked to mhn and she wasn’t worried she believes he just needs to grow and handle my fast flow.

Went and saw an osteopath she thinks milk protein allergy, said if his guts sorted out he would be the chillest baby ever, cue I don’t think he really cries for much more than gut pains
I’m struggling with cutting out dairy and soy. we had 24 hours the other day he started smiling didn’t cry was very happy and now we are back to uncomfortable and it’s very disheartening
I have 6 week checkup in 2 days, talked to mhn and she wasn’t worried she believes he just needs to grow and handle my fast flow.

Almost 6 weeks old. Symptoms..
trouble passing gas/pooping. This takes up 90% of his life unfortunately. Sometimes cries but mostly uncomfortable and pushing and straining.
Unlatching and crying during breastfeeding. I believe this is due to gas as feeding makes it sorta happen. he arches back and cries , or sometimes just unlatches makes a concentrated face and farts but always ends up crying.
Occasional green poo, slightly mucusy like little bit of a sticky stringy texture but mostly normal I think. normally yellow or dark yellow.
Baby acne, however I noticed little spots on ears and head that seem to go away and come back.
Reflux, sometimes after a feed he vomits quite a lot, sometimes just milk sometimes curds, ovcasionally he doesn’t vomit at all but seems very uncomfortable and gets a wet sound kinda know it’s coming and choking sound when flat on back
Hiccups, pretty regularly gets the hiccups

wanted to share my experience as a 28 year old, F, on the very thin side, anxious, and autistic.
had to have colonoscopy due to positive fit test and anaemia diagnosis, and 6 months of heavily bloody multi-daily bathroom trips. I was starting to get very concerned about cancer.
I opted for no sedation because I'm extremely anxious about feeling 'out of it' or not in control of my body/brain or feeling dizzy.
The thought of waking up and not knowing what my body went through was also making me squeamish.
I did a lot of research, I watched full, unseated colonoscopy videos on YouTube, this post from this subreddit was also incredible and explains it all better than I could. but here's my detailed experience of each step.
Prep: The prep was not bad at all, I had Citrafleet.
I prepared the mixture and took it at 6pm (the leaflet said 5pm, appointment at 11am) It had a nice lemon taste and was pleasant. after I drunk it, my medication anxiety/dread kicked in, I was like, oh god, what did I just do to my body. (i've never experienced laxatives before) I was expecting it to be like a movie and to immediately poop lol. I did not have a bowel movement for 3-4 hours. then it was just on and off bathroom trips. Funnily enough the only time it bothered me was I had to leave a competitive computer-game mid-match because I suddenly had to go so bad LOL.other than that, didn't feel too different to my normal symptoms honestly.
then I slept at 3-4am, at 3am I started to suddenly feel queasy and shaky and awful, stayed up too late I think, but it passed and I drunk water and went to sleep.
I woke up at 7am for the second packet of prep, it acted faster this time and then I stopped my 2-hours-before water drinking, was totally empty and went to the hospital.
Hospital: I got lucky, I got a very nice NHS hospital. I had a lovely nurse. They started talking about sedation and I said "I've decided to do no sedation" She said "Ah, gas and air. alright" I said nono, no sedation at all. She was a bit like "ermmm, we'll see about that" haha.
but ultimately everyone was very very respectful of my wishes! they just didn't think I would actually manage.
My heart rate was really high for ages in the waiting/prep room when they took my pulse and honestly I was so stressed they wouldn't do the procedure because my heart rate was high, so I had no time to be worried about what lay ahead because I was so fixated on trying to slow my heart rate. So my advice would be just keep your mind occupied before going in.
I got given huge green shorts, a cozy disposable gown, an iv/canula thing (they assured me it was routine, but I wouldn't get sedation). I had to pee a bunch before and then in the surgery room and had a little blanket put over me.
I had a pillow that was super comfortable and was instructed into the relevant position.
Procedure: The nurses were ALL surprised I wasn't having sedation, they asked if I was really sure I didn't want the gas and air because it can be painful and stopping halfway would be very detrimental.
They said "I know you want to do it without gas and air, some people say say they will and then can't handle it. The nurses also said it's rare someone asks to do it no sedation.
I was mentally preparing myself for the pain of the gas(for inflating the colon). I will say imagining it and feeling it are two very different experiences.
once the camera was in and they inflated with gas. It kept feeling like it was never going to stop inflating. I felt at my bodily physical limit of gas, but it kept inflating, awful awful awful. I can't deny. about 8/10 discomfort, maybe 6-7/10 pain. I had the worst urge to fart that I've ever had in my life. like "If I don't fart I'm going to explode from the inside" levels of bad, which was a slightly panic inducing feeling. The nurses said to pass gas if I needed to, but I couldn't fart. Either because of the position I was in (on side, knees up to chest), the obstruction from the camera, the fear, or because I felt like if I tensed, I'd pop like a balloon.
so "if i dont fart i'll explode & die, if i tense to fart i'll explode & die" was basically my experience with the gas.
Next they said "You might feel a period cramp" and I did. BOY DID I.
I said: "Oh yeah, just like a bad period cramp" And she said "Yeah we can't really help the boys by telling them that" and I somehow managed a "haha"
I think they said "We're going to do some water" but I didn't feel that.
It just felt like just trying to survive and get through it, I was just breathing, I knew I could survive it once I knew the pain I was dealing with. It just stayed consistently awful and painful and terrible. with occasional very bad cramps and awful sensations in 40-50 second bouts in various places in the middle section of my body.
There was so much different noise too from the machine.
The sensations ranged from: Intense gas cramps, horribly inflated feeling, a sucking on my intestines feeling, stomach caving in feeling, terrible period pain, terrible stomach pain, and rippling sensations.
I could barely look at the camera screen because I was just so focused on getting through it. frankly I didn't care LOL. I think I glanced once I just couldn't handle looking on top of what was happening to me. side note: I'm now put off giving birth if its anything like this hahaha.
I fluctuated between tensing from the discomfort and trying to relax. sometimes the discomfort was so freaky and bad my body tensed just to deal with it. If you've ever had a dream where a zombie was eating your stomach guts alive, it was reminiscent of that.
side note: I'm like a cat when I'm in pain, I don't like to show it, and I didn't want the sedation. So I was so badly trying to play it cool.
The literal best way I can describe all of this, it was like the worst food poisoning of your life, the worst trapped wind of your life, and the worst period cramp of your life, all at once, x2 or x3.
A few times my stomach rippled really unpleasantly and I keep remembering that sensation and cringing today
I can also liken some of the feelings to someone sticking a henry hoover into my ovaries.
It wasn't anything I haven't 'naturally' felt in my body before, if that makes sense, they were "familiar" sensations, just not to that degree. I didn't expect it to be such a worse variation of familiar pains.
I also didn't expect to feel all of this SO HIGH UP IN MY BODY?! like the majority of it was felt above and around my belly button.
I don't understand how people say they knew what part of the colon they were in, I couldn't. but they did point when we were about halfway and I was relieved.
For the last part, turn or bend, I think it took 3 attempts, the nurse had to push onto my tummy to flatten something out, honestly, that made me feel so much better, the pressure was really relieving. and I swear to you, it poked my rib when it went through! it felt like it anyway.
There was no pain after that. I knew it wouldn't hurt going out, so my relief was immeasurable, I knew I'd done it.
the only feeling then was just "aughuhguhguh my insides" feeling, and slight gas bloating still. I just focused on my breathing.
They said "We're going to take the biopsies now." I didn't feel that (thank goodness) but I was mega-cringing at the idea. for some reason I felt hot and slight burning in my insides mostly towards the entrance. I'm not sure how they took the biopsies but I heard a tiny drill type sound, and it freaked me out lol. i imagined them frying it off with a tiny saw.
they took, either 6 or 12 biopsies, I'm not sure. it was a strip biopsy, on my report card it has 6 things and says "x2" for each one, so idk.
When the camera went out I asked "is it over?" I didn't really feel the camera go out and was in disbelief because it was quicker than I anticipated and I couldn't believe that I had done it and was feeling proud of myself, and they were all hyping me up so much, telling me I should be crowned as queen and that the nurse could never do what I did. I felt so on top of the world. I couldn't stop smiling with relief.
The nurse called me brave and I said I was only brave because I was so scared of the sedation. Everyone is brave in different ways! You're not any less brave than me if you opt for sedation or Entonox. :)
Genuinely the entire thing felt 10 minutes long, it was like they did a speed-run of my guts, and it FELT like that too lol. just absolutely crashing around the entire mario kart racetrack that was my bowel. I'm just kidding, the doctor was great, it's a baffling procedure and I admire any doctor that does it.
I'd be so curious how long it actually was.. I was mentally prepared for 44 minutes, but idk. I don't want to get your hopes up that it will be short. maybe the shorter, the more painful?
I walked to the bus stop with my mum, I was kind of in disbelief that I did that.
Post-non-sedated-colonoscopy-thoughts
I would do it again if I had to, un-sedated. It was worth it for me to avoid three types of sensations that make me panic (dizziness, sluggish or forgetful)
I'm also really happy that I was able to be there and experience what was happening to my body, personally, I feel like if I was sedated I would always be wondering what my body went through without me being present.
I liked being able to breathe, and follow any instructions.
I've spent the entirety of the following day cringing in reflection of what happened, feeling achy, and being embarrassed for doing it un-sedated (for some reason I feel like everyone thinks i'm crazy).
I hope this helps... someone.
My options of sedation were Entonox or Midazolam and Fentanyl through IV. Lots of people said those things made them so relaxed and the best relaxation they've ever felt. It made me remember the Lavender Liquid dispensed from SCP-294q-01, where they drank the perfect drink and afterwards said "I'm sorry, but at this point everything is just one big let-down"
My brain is immensely neurotic and always in 'go' mode, I was worried if I felt relaxation like that, I'd probably start chasing different drugs to recreate it lol.

I am a big ol joeyy fan and I love joeyy but the shed people are cringe as poop fart. When Marlon makes good music I'll care about him and his cronies. I've noticed the fanatics and the unsociables all congregate in one central location, the shedtheory subreddit page. We must lop this tumer off of our temple and rid ourselves of disease. We must accomplish this goal with great haste, for when allied forces join, our collapse will be inevitable. We will break France in one big steam roll and take over on our own terms with the correct people at the top and the others at the bottom. Joeyy salute 🫡 I feel you Mr Joe star ⭐✨ Its just I don't know how it would be, a world without you at the top? I just can't feel it in me, like my bladder, I consistently piss myself. When joeyy does a kim jon whom I will be that Korean mouth slave. When joeyy starts to take the world by storm, I will be his thunderbus that drives him through the sky. 💪🐯☝️
