I ate too many junk food and now my tummy is unhappy. I haven't pooped for like 4 days and my tummy is big and round but when I push I can only get out some farts and nothing more 😭

You sound pretty constipated, poor thing. Have you taken any laxatives or anything to make you go? You need a deep belly massage to stimulate your bound up gut…

My belly isn’t well… It’s so bloated and round and it’s gurgling so loud. Like my lower belly is churning. I really need someone to rub my belly from behind whilst I bend over a bit. I need someone to gently hold it when it’s rumbling, with a little bit of pressure. I can tell I’m going to need the bathroom soon but I really need someone to rub my tummy before that. Urg, my poor tummy

You sound pretty unwell indeed. What did you eat to make your lower tummy so sick? I’d hold you and rub your lower belly through all the rumbling, waiting until the pressure turned into pain and urgency before letting you up.

My belly is so bloated and I keep farting so loud...I have been constipated for one week but now I have the runs. I would like to have someone rubbing my upset tummy 🥺

Poor thing. Sometimes your tummy just starts getting upset, huh? I’d rub your poor belly as you cramped and squeezed everything out. I bet you’ve got a lot blocked up in that gut of yours, since you’ve been constipated. Maybe you need some deep tummy rubs to help everything move along. Who knows, that might just help with your crampy tummy and the runs too.

Oh my poor tummy. I think I got a tummy bug I’ve been barfing up waves of undigested food every 10 minutes all night. I had spaghetti for dinner, grilled cheese yesterday lunch and pancakes for breakfast. I also had a milkshake soda and a brownie for dinner. I’ve been belching and have the tummy gurgles. Oh it hurts so much. I’ve been ralphing in a bucket because my room is far from the potty. 🚽 I’m going potty now all sore liquid shooting out. I just belched more of my content left in my belly. That’s a sour taste in my mouth I just threw up again and it was more than my stomach expected. Can you rub it help me unbloat?

You poor thing, you sound so sick. While emeto isn’t my thing, I’m posting this here because I think others would appreciate it. Would anyone rub this poor anon’s tummy? Both ends isn’t fun to experience at all.

I am the person who pooped themselves in their sleep....it was disgusting. All over my bed and even got on my wall. My stomach is really not doing ok. I have had diarrhea since yesterday and it smells so bad. Its yellowy in color and so liquidy. I keep needing to visit the bathroom but its only little squirts coming out every 20 minutes or so. I wish I could just get it all out in a big poop. My stomach wont find relief even pooping. Please help my stomach...

Damn, you sound really sick. It might be time to consider some medication, loperamide will help you at least… Going every 20 minutes must be wreaking havoc on you, you must be getting so dehydrated. You may as well sleep in the tub at this point. Even if you mess yourself, it’s okay as you’re already in the bathroom. I’d rub your tummy as you slept, massaging it to try and help flush everything out even if it meant you started going right there.

ohh I've got such a poorly tummy :( i ate a bag full of chocolate and i think it was past its best. my stomach is tight and bloated while my lower belly is cramping and gurgly. I'm trying to cradle it at work without being too obvious; it's only in the toilets where i can clutch it and wail quietly as the sickness squirts out of me.

Would love to know what you would do if you were in the office with me :( I just need someone to be gentle... 🎈

Oh, you poor thing. There’s too much sugar in chocolate already, so you were already in for an upset tummy. Adding the fact that it’s past the expiry date just makes it worse.

If I were in the office with you, I’d come by your cubicle and ask if you were feeling alright. Maybe I’d heard the rumbling of your gut, or maybe I’d heard your quiet whining in the toilet. Either way, I come over to check on you and notice that you’ve got one hand on your upset tummy, cradling the bloat of it.

I offer to take you to a more secluded spot for some privacy, either one of our cars or an unused office space, so that I can push up your shirt and undo the first button of whatever bottoms you’re wearing to give your tummy more room. It can’t be fun wearing work clothes when your stomach is so upset. I’d give you very gentle rubs all over, rubbing large clockwise circles into your tummy to soothe the pain and move things along. You could grab my hand and move it where it hurts, letting me know which spot needs more attention.

The only downside is that there isn’t anywhere to get some relief in an unused office or a car. You could use a bin or a plastic bag if you started feeling nauseous, although I imagine that you’d be too embarrassed to use it as a toilet…

I pooped myself in my sleep and seem to have the shits today...

You must be really unwell. I’m imagining that your tummy is just rumbling and churning away, producing more and more to try and flush out the sickness or whatever you ate that was wrong. Kinda sucks when you can’t go far from a toilet, huh?

Let us know how it goes, anon. Do rub your tummy to try and calm it down.

Oh my tummy is cramping again, I need a tummy rub so bad :(((

Sorry I've flooded your asks these days :/

Don’t apologise, I love getting asks. You’ve really had a rough time of it this week. Come let me rub your tummy until you feel better and it stops cramping - or until you need to dash to the bathroom to let it out.

Hi , my tummy is so tight rn from a G I A N T lunch ...could u rub my tummy please??

(also can i claim this emoji 🐛)

Ooh. Being overstuffed is no fun, huh? I’d rub your tummy gently to avoid making you feel nauseous… I’d have a bucket nearby just in case, but it was a tasty lunch and I want to help you keep it down. You should be careful with how much you eat next time.

Crampy anon again👀, my tummy was hurting mostly around my middle and sometimes I'd get an odd lower belly cramp. They've subsided, however I've been really anxious today which resulted in some more pain so yay 🫤

Hmm… I’m wondering if your belly cramps are caused by being anxious. There’s a connection between the brain and the gut that can cause your tummy to hurt or feel sick when you’re stressed.

Crampy anon here, I didn't have any digestion issues, I basically ate normally but my tummy just kept on cramping no matter what I ate :/

Hi anon. Brave of you to keep eating normally, even though it was making your tummy hurt. Is the pain better now, or are you still having belly cramps? Tell me which part of your tummy hurts 👀

My tummy has been cramping so much for two days now.. I really need some tummy rubs :((

Poor thing. Which part of your tummy’s hurting? I’d love to rub it gently to help everything move it along. If it’s been hurting for two days now, have you been able to eat or go to the bathroom much? Maybe that’s why… 😉

Had a frozen lasagna meal last night from the supermarket. Quite tasty, but also upset my tummy quite a bit. Woke up with a painful, bloated lower belly that I had to relieve right away - headed for the toilet and doubled over, just holding my aching gut as I pushed to try and get it out. I could tell I wasn’t done when I finished, though, so I went and had a coffee.

That did the trick… somewhat. Went and let loose again a second time, palming my upset tum and rubbing it hard to try and get it out before I left for work. Then mid morning, I felt as though I had to go again - and I did. More poured out of me painfully. Thankfully it stopped after lunch. I felt like I needed to go again, but it was just gas and a bit of a residual crampy feeling.

I’m having a horribly upset belly… I’ve had the runs and my tummy’s continuing to churn and rumble. I know there’s a stomach virus going around, and I’m so worried I caught it (and that I won’t have bathroom access when I need it!)

My stomachs feeling awful… this is so embarrassing.

Poor anon. I was in a pretty similar position earlier this week. That embarrassment is kind of fun sometimes, though - it’s interesting to try to sneak around or sneak off and rub your upset tummy, or sneak off to use the bathroom without anyone noticing. Maybe you wait until your belly is absolutely screaming in pain and urgency and you can’t wait any longer before rushing to the toilet.

i just woke up and my tummy was bubbling so badly…i went to the toilet and so much came out of me. i’ve been so constipated and bloated that it felt so good to finally use the bathroom.

Well done, honey. You poor thing - your tummy must’ve felt so heavy and achy before. Sometimes our bodies let us know exactly what we need by gurgling and churning and pushing it all out.

My tummy has been really upset :( I’ve been eating out a lot because I have people visiting, and it’s a big change from me cooking everything. My stomach is just bloated and feeling sick all the time - my guts are growling and gassy, and I’ve been getting bouts of diarrhea. Every single time I go, it hurts and it’s loose. My tummy starts cramping and I know I can’t hold it for long, and it’s inconvenient when I’m out. Just… my tummy hurts :(

i've been so gassy all day and have had to hold in all of it, which is making my belly rumble like crazy. it's started to... make me feel like i need to use the bathroom pretty urgently, but unfortunately i can't get to one right now. i'm holding so much gas and diarrhea and my tummy won't stop gurgling. it's so loud and embarrassing, and i don't know if i can hold it for much longer 😣

Poor you - your tummy must be churning like crazy. How are you feeling? Gurgling is one thing, but when you can feel it rumble it’s another. And when it starts to cramp and really hurt… Oh boy, that’s rough. The humiliation from knowing everyone can hear your tummy being noisy and upset is hard to bear too.

Did you make it to a toilet in the end, and how long did you have to hold it? I find that I can hold diarrhea in if it’s not too painful, but once I start getting crampy I need to find a place for me to let go and rub my tummy in a bud to relieve the pain.
