My Intestines Can be Jerks

These days I have been struggling to eat a healthy amount of calories, due to Crohn's Disease and Chronic Pouchitis (Colitis with no colon). Yesterday was the best day in a while for that, but I suffered for it.

Today I have eaten rice, a few bites of chicken, some plain toast, and a few pieces of watermelon. It is all I could eat.

Even now, with that measly amount of food, my gastrointestinal tract feels as though I had at least 3 full meals too many.

These are a few of the ways I can claim that my intestines can behave like jerks:

1. My intestines are fat-shaming me!!!
2. I am currently enrolled in a forced weight loss program.
3. My intestines are absorbing enough to prevent vomiting, only to eject it at a later time.
4. My stomach craves nutrients, my intestines disagree. Loudly.
