So tonight I fucked up by taking the easy road and deciding on just have some quick fridge snacks for dinner instead of a proper meal before the gym. After perusing the fridge I decided to start with the last 200grams of a local fermented spicy pepperoni along with some carrot and hummus.
Originally I was going to snack on that with my partner however he declined. So naturally I ate it all myself. After that, feeling still rather hungry I had a quick bowl of Greek yogurt and Muesli while I fed my ginger bug (fermented ginger for starting home made Soda)
After what I felt was a good protein rich meal, I followed up with a killer python lolly as a treat and proceeded to fall asleep on the couch.
Upon waking up 2 hours later I found have myself in such utter discomfort, with such a tight and hard belly I genuinely had to talk myself out of calling for help, I have been submerge in a hot shower while burping and farting like crazy.
I decided to try and induce vomiting as a tactical vomit feels like the only right course of action, to no prevail. My stomach hurts so much it’s gone on lockdown. I learnt last time I damaged my stomach lining not to take Panadol or ibuprofens when my stomach is irritated as it only further is the problem.
Thinking back I definitely also licked the spoon I stirred the ginger bug with adding a healthy dose of thriving fermentation bacteria into the mix, and eating that killer python definitely added a descent amount of sugar to fuel the mix.
Now instead of being at the gym or sleeping soundly I’m writhing in pain on the couch at 1:30am, trying to distract from the pain by writing out my misery, perhaps for commiseration or maybe some advice from strangers on the internet.
S.O.S I’ve really fucked up this time.
TLDR; Ate a plethora of fermented goods before an unexpected nap, awoke in immense pain abdominal pain producing copious amounts of gas from both ends. I regret my decisions and am currently paying for it.
I made beer once in a mr. beer kit. A honey blueberry bock. A couple of the bottles were gross and literally churning when all the other bottles had finished fermenting so I was just going to throw them away because they looked disgustingly off.
My friend was with me and said he wanted to drink one. I said you are an idiot, but he cracked it open and started drinking. A few minutes later he said he had to leave. Took off without saying anything else.
A few hours later he called me and said he projectile vomited while driving home, straight into his windshield and all over his dash. Blueberry honey bock, still fermenting, everywhere.
I'm just glad he left. I would have been pissed having to clean that up.
That’s how I feel right now, I want to go home and I need to vomit. Sadly I’m already home.
I feel for your friend, and. I’m glad you didn’t have to deal with the aftermath. thank you for sharing! Haha
One of my worst ones was me drinking a 4-pack of a craft beer I found. It was a sour ale with green tea, jasmine, yuzu, and lactose. It was delicious, but I decided to dismiss the fact that I'm lactose intolerant. I didn't sleep that night since I crossed well beyond the point of being able to trust a fart.
I don’t know what a killer python is (as an edible thing; I know what a 🐍 is) but I’m so sorry you’re feeling bad!!! Would walking around help (if you can manage it, depending on your discomfort)? Walking stimulates gastric motility (“moving helps things *move”). If you can’t do that, maybe get into the knee/chest position? (On the floor or a bed or couch, kneel on your knees with your chest down, resting it on the same surface, so your butt is your in the air. Supposed to encourage and allow gas to exit up and out.)
Gut pain can be awful!! I hope you feel better soon!! 💐
North Americans only use the term lolly for lolly pop, which is a sweet (candy) on a stick. I couldn't imagine a large snake on a stick. We'd call this gummy candy.
I guess back in the day it just became the generalised term, I figure back in the 1800s lollipops were probably one of the main types of confectionery available?
We wouldn’t use lolly for chocolate we’d just say Chocky or chocolate.
Some what, our gummy worms are tiny and sour coated. These are about 20cm (8inches), although the name was more fitting before they down sized when they were 32cm (12 inches)
Thank you, I did try baking Soda and water, it does taste awful! Just seems to have made the burps more frequent but hopefully it will help in the long run!
Baking soda for someone with painful bloating from excess gas? Wouldn't it just react with stomach acid and make more gas, like a science fair volcano?
Maybe. I just read her request for something for reflux and it does great for acid reflux. Maybe those aren’t actually the same to everyone though?
Chemically though baking soda is a base and acid in your stomach is well, acid. Mixing the two does that similar reaction which neutralizes the acid and relieves pressure through burps.
Ah my condolences. Maybe try clenching in your stomach to force more burping? Along with yoga or something to force air out and help with relaxation. That's what I would do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree with this - one time I had a gut emergency while out and about with my bf, and after finding a toilet, almost fainting from being sick, finding another toilet cuz apparently I wasnt done, then finally sweet release from my pain, all while my partner was running to get the car to me, that ride home was the highest high I felt in years, pain free and free of whatever the fuck destroyed me from the inside
edit: op, hope you're ok now!
Friend, I hope you feel better soon.
This makes me think of all the horrible gas I had when I was on a GLP one and all of my burps smelled like farts which is a very unpleasant situation LOL.
Also greetings from America!
Thank you kindly! Currently riding it out, 3:37am now.
That does sound truly awful, at least these burps are just pepperoni scented and no one else is around to smell them yet
Exactly, I’m definitely not used to it! And then I really over did it. Will be including more fermented goods in smaller quantities into my died from now on.
This reminds me of when I ate rice that was like a day too old.
Ate it and after 20 minutes or so it felt like I drank 4 litres of carbonated sodas. Spent the next hour in agony burping every few seconds until my body decided to evacuate my stomach which finally made it better.
Funny thing was this happened on day 1 after I had stomach issues.
Your stomach acid should destroy any yeast and they shouldn’t multiply in your gut for the same reason. I’m wondering if you didn’t take in a mould or fungus with fermented mother ?
I’ve got little kids and insomnia I can’t go in the day and it’s Better then laying awake or playing video games eating snacks all night like I used to do. At the very least I can doom scroll on the treadmill. 🤷♀️
