For the last couple of days, my guts have been treating me poorly. Just making a note of it so I don't forget when it happened.

Around lunchtime on 11 December I started having some stomach discomfort, and icky release to follow. Yeah, farts and burps and stuff. My belly bloated and got hard, and I didn't feel well. Icky poos followed, and interrupted the rest of my day with many icky bathroom trips. It was an uncomfortable night, with a few interruptions to hit the loo, too.

I ended up sleeping most of 12 December, napping at first in the lounge chair but retiring to the bed in the late morning. I slept a few uninterrupted hours, and started feeling some relief from the Pepto stuffs.

I sat with the family at dinner, a little hungry but not finding the food appetizing. After a little while, though, I started to feel better, and gave a little piece of chicken a try. I ate just some chicken, going for protein and low fats, and felt fine.

I did still have some icky toilet visits, but the stomach tension waned. Overnight was generally uninterrupted. I thought I was done after going to the bathroom before bed, but had to return shortly for a last burst. I slept through the night, awake by 6 (as is normalish), with some urgency. The same uncomfortable poo happened, but it was much less uncomfortable than before.

In an oddly exciting turn, I've not had to rush to the loo for the last few hours. I even ate a little Life cereal to abate some hunger grumblings.

Here's hoping whatever that was is really done and stays away.
