This is pretty gross in my book -- I'm embarrassed just thinking about typing it -- but after trying to search on a few key words, I just can't find the answers. Here's hoping you can help.
To make this short, let's just say it's not just gas I'm passing. I had a serious surprise 10 minutes before a meeting with my boss and an employee yesterday. To be specific, I thought I was going to pass gas, and it was liquid. Since then there has been considerable "leakage." It's amazing how ashamed something like that can make one feel. I'm really tender and kind of puffy on my lower left quadrant of my abdomen/pelvic region. that ovary and tube was taken out 6 months ago, so I can't really blame it on them. There are plenty of other "culprits:" I've been sneaking in some forbidden foods, trying some really challenging foods (black bean chili -- beware! -- and that was 4 days ago!), and of course the fabulous heat and humidity of St. Louis summer has arrived a little early. Combine that with the stress of trying to get pregnant (yes, I still have the rest of my reproductive system) and the stress of working in an inner city community health center, and you have the equivalent of a McDonald's Extra Value Meal!
I'm going to spend the day relaxing with fennel tea, journaling, and trying to take it as easy as possible. I wish I had a bath tub! Please let me know if you have any suggestions on what this can be or what to eat to control it. Many thanks!
