Some logic to bloatedness...

So I REFUSE to take the way that I feel after I eat and through out the day as being ok. I have done some research and  looked into the whole "bloated" feeling, turns out a lot of people with the IUD feel this bloatedness. However I wonder how much of it is people's lifestyle, and they tend to blame the IUD because the IUD makes the feeling more noticeable?!? I don't know... All I know is for all the good things the IUD has done for me, I want to try and alleviate the bad. So I keep trying. I currently take some (not the brand I use, but one I like) colon cleanse  pills (totally spacing on the name, but can totally visualize it) when my stomach is feeling full with a stool softener to help my body digest the food I eat. When than I started thinking, why don't I follow the directions for better digestive care?!? It says to take 2 in the morning and night with foods, and possibly take 3-4 depending on how your stomach does. I was thinking about my stomach issues, and I always feel worse in the a.m. (more bloated) and I always feel awful after eating, so maybe I need to 1) eat smaller portions and possibly eat more small meals in a day and 2) take some cleansing pills every day on more a habitual pattern so that I can help my stomach... Sooooooooooooooo I took two of them last night, and all ready this morning I feel like my digestive juices are flowing better.. Sooooo see what happens... Today is Jillian Michaels day 2, and 6 weeks abs day 1! Mildly scared! Jillian is one tough work-out instructor!!!!

I just can't accept the fact that my IUD would be causing all these problems. I do believe that it can be exaggerating problems/issues I all ready had, but I refuse to accept that I have to just accept them, and either be miserable or have the IUD taken out. To me, this are just minor inconveniences to me, and I just need to find an answer to try and alleviate the problem. This time last year (without the IUD) I remember sitting in my office chair with a bag of ice and just trying to numb my entire pelvic area. I could barely move and working out was completely painful. My stomach would feel like food poisoning symptoms for like 3 days prior and 3 days after my 7-10 days period. I was completely miserable. While I am convinced the IUD presents some issues which need to be addressed, I am convinced for now they are manageable to some extent...  

Side note. One BONUS side effect of the IUD for me is boobs! While not a common side effect, my body tends to react greatly to hormones, so I have noticed my bras starting to fit a little tighter, and well to be honest I just notice them more. So I tried on my favorite biniki top last night to see how it looked and WOW boobs!!! It was awesome! IUD 1 : taking out IUD 0. ;o) It was so cool and a huge smile came across my face!

Awful 12 hours & bloated like a stuck pig

OMFG I HURTTTTTTTTTTTTT THIS MORNING!!!!

SO BLOATED!!!!

I made some dinner last night I THOUGHT would be ok with my body. I went to bed around 9:30ish, and about midnight when hubbie awoke me to go to bed, as soon as we got into bed, I felt this horrible stomach cramping & pain (imagine your worst cramps) and felt really nauseated. I could feel it coming on, all I could do is wait for the pelvic pain to move down to my stomach and through my system so I could have the awful cramping food poisoning symptoms. Fun. SO about 1:00amish, there it came. I was in the bathroom for I dont know how long, I was have asleep and the other half in pain. Great. (this is the hell of my pelvic pain world and why I have to watch what I eat so greatly). Holy fuck it hurt. I crawled back into bed, and hubbie asked I was OK. I said no. I grabbed the heating pad before I laid back in bed, as it usually helps to calm the intense cramping pain (like I am getting an IUD inserted all over again) I am exhausted this morning, and NOW I am completely the opposite in pain with constipated and bloated cramping.

Here's what I have had to take thuse far:
3 glasses of water
1/2 cup of Decaf coffee (makes me want to vomit)
2 stool softeners
4 desperate swigs off Milk of Magnesia
1 peppermint tea
and so far, nothing has alleviated the horrible cramping/constipated/bloated feeling I have! God damn it hurts. It's so uncomfortable, I just to want to unbutton my pants, as I can hardly button them anyways. It's so hard to concentrate and work. I had zero sleep last night and this morning I just hurt so bad in the opposite way. I made this chicken and rice bake recipe in the oven last night. It's an amazing recipe, but it has 3 questionable things 1) onion soup packet (not sure on the GF factor on this one) 2) Cream of mushroom soup (yea not GF but usually my body can tolerate it (which apparently IT CAN'T NOW!!!!!!) and 3) milk (again usually ok, but might of been enough with the can of mushroom soup). Sooooooooooo never making that again!!! Not for this hell! If it wasn't busy season, I would totally have stayed home till this passed. This is SO uncomfortable!!!! Totally going to keep downing the remedies I know of till this knot in my stomach goes away.. Also I WILL hit the gym today (not sure when but when this pain goes away) and I will not weight myself.. with this extra bloating.. I dont think it would be a far read...
