Hi all,
Well, what happened was, I usually go to the bathroom in the morning, and I hadn't had my BM all day, so i was waiting and waiting and waiting, and it finally came. It wasnt painful, it was just....bulky. It wasn't hard or anything, it was just bulky, like i said, and so, it was a bit harder to pass. But I got up this morning and had the same type of BM, but no pain or blood or anything.
That seems to be the type of BM that I am experiencing right now, soft but bulky, and therefore harder to pass. It has also caused the itch to return, but I think that keeping the area dry is going to be a big thing. I sort of stopped doing that, and I should keep on.
I dont have IBS, thank god, but my first CRS (the one I didnt like) told me i needed 20-30 grams everyday. I guess he was wrong. Big surprise there. :roll:
So i guess I wasnt really technically constipated because I did end up having my BM. I guess I just sort of flipped. I think I am going to start taking the fish oil or something, because my parents already take it for the good fats, and it says "no fish burps!" right on the bottle. Thats something everyone can appreciate eh? I'll try and add more olive oil into my diet too. :)
64 oz of water seems like a LOT. I will try to aim high, but who knows. I cant leave my room to pee every 10 minutes while im at school. Its too bad im not in a kindergarten class. They have bathrooms right in the classroom!!!
As for my little crumb snatchers (thats what I call the little ones...hehe) they are fine! This week was sort of hectic because we had a snow day, and then two delays, and the whole schedule got messed up. When the routine is disrupted, the little ones are a bit more hyper or just....confused. So, things were...a bit crazy but okay. Your right though, they keep me on my feet most of the time.
Oh well...thats the story for now folks. I'll keep everyone posted. Thank you all for the suggestions. This place has been such a blessing for me.
