Well, I got tummyache because of unable to fart (?). I can't fart because of constipation. So, the gass stuck in my stomach and push my stomach acid up and burn my lungs. Because of that, I get unbearable backpain.
I wanna cry so bad. So, I try to google to do the first aid.
I massage my tummy like it said. After hours, finally, I can shit. The pain is slowly disappear. Though when I write this, I still feel a little pain on my diaphragm.
So, I reminiscene this pains. I sometimes get unbearable pain like this. Maybe, I have an issue with my bowel. After read there and there, the close one is IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). In a nutshell, it is the bowel is very sensitive so I got to be careful with my diet. Of course, I should be go to doctor to check this, but, you know, the 3rd world country problem. Yes, without health insurance, it will be expensive. Not to mention, to get better diagnoses, I should got to the specialist.
Let's back to reminisce the pain. I remember when I was at 1st grade. I guess 6 years old. I bought a drink in front of school stall. It contain coconut milk. Btw, coconut milk is delicious. Coconut milk is savory, but the seller add some syrup, so it became sweet. As a child, I like that sweet drink.
After I got home, I started feel a pain in my tummy. It is like thousand needles put in my stomach. A 6 years old child can not bear that torture. I felt backpain too that moment. I rolled over there and there, but the pain never gone. My parents brought me to doctor. The doctor I should be observed at hospital. So, there I went. A hospital.
When I was in hospital, the pain slowly disappeared. They took my urine and faeces to test but they said it was normal. I didn't believe it cause the pain was real. I didn't make that up to get attention.
So, I grew older, I studied about analytical laboratorium. I learnt some medical things. I found out that sometimes if coconut milk expired, it could be poison. I thought maybe that day I get poisoned from that coconut milk drink. I believed it until today.
Before today, I sometimes get this pain. Sometimes I can't sleep because of this stupid tummyache. Sometimes I have to sleep while sitting to bear that ache. But, one day, I got this tummyache. The pain is same. My stomach feels like got punctured by thousand needles. My back is hurt like gonna broken. My chest is burn. After some hours, I didn't know what happen but my stomach growl. Suddenly, I wanted to shit. After the duty, my pain was disappear like nothing happened.
That day I learnt, those stupid tummyache can be healed by shitting. Amazing. Let save this as Fact #1.
The other day, I got this shitty ache, I remember I ate many spicy foods. But, the outcome not only stomache but my skin was red and itchy. What happened? I never got gluten and spicy foods allergy before. Maybe I was too stress or maybe just ate too many spicy foods. Stomache and allergy was painful combination. I read many in google and found the terms 'Irritable Bowel Syndrome'. I read some article about this. This is Fact #2.
At first, I felt the pain in my back. I thought it because I was sitting for a long time. After some rest, the pain was not gone. It became worse. My belly got hurt. My chest felt suffocating. Then I remember Fact #1. I remember today I ate too many but didn't shit yet. Must be the gass that trapped in my bowel make ruckus in my belly. So, I google how can I fart.
When I google it, I met the terms 'Irritable Bowel Syndrome'. Fact #2. After carefully read it, I found that the symptoms have simillarity with the pain I felt.
I did some tips how to fart at google. Yeah, it took hours. I massaged my belly. I walked. I rolled over. Then, I farted, I shit, and it got better.
When I finished shitting, I remember the pain I felt when I was 6 years old. This is the same pain, I felt back then. I am adult now and this pain alone made me want to cry, said I don't want to die. Let alone that 6 years old child. No wonder I cried like a crazy person.
AFTER 26 YEARS, FINALLY THE MYSTERY OF MY TUMMYACHE IS SOLVED.
It is not because the coconut milk, uhmm... it is because of coconut milk, actually. It can produce gass so the coconut milk is the trigger. But, the thing is I never got poisoned from that coconut milk. It is because I CAN NOT FART. I am sorry for that seller for thinking you were the troublemaker.
In hospital, I can shit. So, the problem solved, right?
This is like the Taylor Swift song.
"Hey, it's me. I am the problem. It's me."
The problem lays in my bowel. My sensitive moody bowel. I think it get worse these days.
But, I will consider my diet from now on.
I don't wanna feel that pain again. I don't wanna die!!!
