Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay, there were technical issues and I ended up having to redo the site! When life gets stressful, it tends to cause flares. Plus, I had covid-19 for most of January – definitely not how I wanted to start the new year!

I’ll probably detail my experience with covid-19 in a later post, but for now, I’m going to share some of my favorite IBS related memes and videos. This is of course to honor the awful flare that I’ve been fighting off. If crude humor isn’t something you enjoy, this is not the post for you!

Starting off strong with my proposed IBS mascot:

I have definitely felt like this. I’m not sure what they went through in their litterbox, but I can empathize with this cat. I can’t help but think about this video every time I go through a flare.

This is another meme that is constantly in my head. I’m not sure what my stomach even looks like without swelling at this point! Humans require food to survive, yet for some reason my digestive system balloons with any amount of food or drink.

Speaking of ballooning, I’m sure that sloths feel that way most of the time too! Like me in a “C” flare, they hold a week’s worth of food in their intestines before having the opportunity to get rid of it.

Honestly the look of relief is relatable – I somewhat envy them sometimes

I have so many funny videos and memes saved that I could probably go on for a long time, but I’ll end with just a couple of them. The first is one that I wish I’d seen firsthand during my time in band; the second is one with a quote that has made its way into my “catchphrases”.

May you have an abundance of spoons!
