Transit time

[Flik22]

Hello!

Soooo, last night's tea is epically leaving my body already a fair few times this morning!! I had a Sunday roast! Chicken broccoli cauliflower carrots York pud and stuffing! The wind I've had rattling round me this morning has been horrific and as for my poop! Well explosive and radical evacuation are good words🤭, 3 times already this morning I'd say my first was a 4/5 (Bristol chart) and the other two are 6's, I can feel there is more as I can hear it rattling through my left side of bowel!! I hate this so much! Totally.gets me down and wondering how to slow down gut transit time?? XX thanks for listening to me moan! Xx

Hi Flik, how are you feeling now? Has it calmed down a bit now? Maureen.

How are you now? I have to say if I eat roast chicken, it’ll set me off. Its too fatty for me and I will inevitably have a really upset tummy 😕

You are not alone. Cauliflower gives me wind, even though I like it, and carrots go straight through. It might be fat levels as Weegmak suggests, especially if you have cheese sauce, gravy, stuffing, Yorkshire too. It will pass.

Hey all! Sorry, no it didn't calm down, even after taking loperamide! It's been a bit better today! But then I didn't eat any tea!! Made.up for it now with pancakes so I'm sure I'll suffer for this one! 🤨. Thanks for all asking how I am 😘XX

Transit time can be shortened if you eat things that irritate your small intestine. For example the fats as others already mentioned.

Try to do some diet if it bothers you.

I know how you feel, I have to stick to a very bland diet or Im on the loo most of the next day. So fed up of this IBS. I have wind, loads of stomach gurgling and urgency. When I stick to bland food, I get constipated and also get piles, there is no middle ground. Why cant we all be cured of this frustrating and debilitating illness. I share your symptoms Flik along with many others.
