Eating meat with a blockage will not be good!! please don't. It's very hard for our bodies to break it down. I suggest buying something like Ensure. Liquid nutrients is what you need right now for the nutrition and the least amt of digestion required. stick to a liquid diet. How about iv therapies. Can you do any of this?
Thanks, no I could not tolerate any form of supplement nutrition or liquid nutrition or any plain old supplements I've tried everything over the years 99% of everything is intolerable, and it's a needle in a haystack a fortune in money and so repeated suffering for 24-hours time to confirm something is not going to work for me.
This is why it is so challenging to walk this tightrope because there are a billion things in this world I would gravitate towards food, herbwise, drinks, medicines etc.
As an example there are only two types of herbal tea in this house which I actually drink out of everything I've ever tried which do not cause any adverse respiratory reaction.
Nettle tea and chamomile tea and I don't like either of them but I honestly can't call to mind another type of drink or herbal tea except water which I have no problem with.
I'm eating my pork right now just taking a little break for a moment. I hear you on the difficulty of digesting meat I'm well aware of this I read about this years ago that you really want your digestive system to be optimal to tackle meat but my bodily intuition does tell me when I can can eat meat and when I really need to and that is right now it will give me so much more strength than it will cause problems at this moment and especially will warm my body up which will be vital for sleep.
I have been suffering from an extremely abnormel level of long term sleep deprivation for years, it has recently gotten way too far into debt with catastrophic consequences for my ability to cope with living. I swear that is probably my biggest problem right now although it's a close race.
Gradually my digestive system has been freeing itself up little bit by little bit today and despite another incredibly gruelling day of really suffering unbearably, there have been better moments. When I went down to cook my dinner I was beginning to to recover my cheeky and suddenly I could move and stand-up without feeling like I desperately needed to lay down before I collapsed how I have been feeling for days on end.
And this coincided with with an increase in gas being released as the blockages are finally starting to be broken down effectively.
So I think the pork will be okay now and is just what is called for. I cooked it very light, served with baked potato, raw sauerkraut, light boiled zuchini, and a little baked Jamaican sweet potato with some almond butter on top for sweetness.
I have been managing to enjoy the fruit much better with more of an appetite. I think I may be on the mend.
And I realised that I probably still am suffering kratom withdrawals it has been less than 3 full days since my last dose.
What I have noticed in particular and more so today day when the better moments have come and I have passed some minutes more bearably, it seems to come in waves and then all of a sudden it's like really unbearable suffering and weakness again.
I would be experiencing something like this from the intestinal upset and and level of tiredness and fatigue, but I really think this is also the withdrawals.
If Tomorrow is still very difficult I may consider some kava kava which I actually have here. I've tried it a few times it does exacerbate my respiratory symptoms but I don't believe as bad as the kratom. It just made me a bit lethargic and unmotivated and I prefer the energizing kratom effects.
But the kava kava shouldn't really be a problem and it might take the edge off of things.
I'm sure I could handle IV therapies I don't believe my immune system would trigger a reaction unless something is ingested via the mouth or sinuses.
IV vitamin C will probably be very very helpful for me as I believe it would for every single person on the planet and really should be an available treatment for all especially the sick. But it does cost a bomb and I doubt I could afford any such treatments
Autotripper - Magnesium Sulfate is amazing for the constipation induced by kratom. It also acts as an NMDA antagonist. I take it daily with kratom in the morning. However it is more of a maintenance thing. In your situation (which I have been many times) i go for the fleet enema and force that shit out... literally. This can be dangerous though and it sounds like you are experiencing other symptoms that may require medical attention. Straight constipation, enema or suppositories tend to work. Ultimately you'll have to go to the ER and have the blockage removed. Constipation is definitely something to take seriously imo.
Thanks man, but no way would I tolerate the magnesium. I've tried loads of different supplements including all magnesium in all forms- liquid, powder, capsules, tablets in the different forms and I really can't tolerate any of it whatsoever.
I definitely won't need hospital attention it's just a matter of time I live with this chronic digestive disorder which is related to so many Factors in life due to my Catch-22 impossible situation and insanely restricted diet and abnormal respiratory symptoms which make it almost impossible to actually chew food and digest it by mixing with saliva because the mucus is like sticky tape and glue from my mouth down.
It takes me literally hours and hours to eat a meal because every mouthful is such a difficulty to actually chew properly with the amount of mucus being produced as soon as I put food into my mouth. It builds up and up up as I eat and my throat and sinuses are permanently inflamed and coated with this thick sticky mucus.
It's incredibly hard to breathe while eating so I'm eating with my mouth open most of the time and pausing for breath. It's very unusual and impossible to relate to without actual experience.
In particular for the last 2 years I have an extremely severe anxiety disorder in relation to food and eating and the problems it causes me and the pain I have to suffer in my lungs and respiratory system everytime I eat and generally 247365 living around these symptoms.
I absolutely have to do this big steam inhalation everyday to begin with using high grade essential oils like peppermint and eucalyptus so clear really thick sticky mucus from deep down in my lungs and my entire respiratory tract.
It's the only way I have found to live life bearably and cope with the symptoms. If I can't get this mucus out of my lungs there is no way I could even attempt to eat food that day so I can never eat or even think about it before I have managed the symptoms thoroughly from the previous days basic food intake.
There are a variety of other techniques and methods are also employ like my start with oil pulling first for about half an hour which is vital to start clearing the sinuses and upper respiratory tract, ease the blow of the steam inhalation and enable and much better clearance of airways.
And it takes me usually 3 hours every day no matter what I need to do in life no matter how hungry and exhausted I am it simply has to be done.
And the steam inhalation itself really is the most painful thing you can imagine it's like knives digging into my chest when I peppermint hits that deep lung congestion and forces the mucus up like a volcano erupting.
If I could just wake up and press the button and be the other side of that routine then everything in my life would be completely different. I am always completely and utterly exhausted by the time I am washed and dressed each day. Most of the time I have really severe stomach and digestive upset from the previous days food due to my terrible relationship with food and many complications and problems actually eating it at the best of times.
So constipation and intestinal blockage is simply a way of life for me me in recent years. The only remedy is time there are many supplements I could take I like Magnesium Oxide which would completely liquidize everything and intestines enabling absorption and elimination but I can't tolerate the Magnesium Oxide and it also needs to be taken with vinegar or lemon to work I definitely can't tolerate those one little bit.
This particular occasion just happened to be the worst intestinal upset I have ever experienced. Directly related to my Kratom misuse, which was stopping my system from digesting and absorbing the whole time I was taking it.
I ignored the warnings, which were obscured by the effects of the kratom Chasing that high each day in order to feel right. Big mistake. When I finally had to stop on Tuesday night things had gotten really serious down there like never before.
I was in such a malnourished and underweight condition but completely unable to digest anything for the last 3 days practically. Except this time I'm my body needed food more than ever before in order to to maintain any sort of equilibrium and avoid an irrecoverable condition.
AutoTripper - it sounds as if you may have not maintained healthy habits all around and this will definitely lead to a non functional state. You have to eat, sleep, hydrate etc.
I believe I saw you mentioned having a condition? Do you mind sharing what it is or did I miss that?
Hope things are easing up for you
Sure- Long term full blown Lyme Disease since 2005. An incredibly hard thing to recover from in my particular situation because a comprehensive treatment and supplement program is absolutely vital how to restore balance and equilibrium to the nervous and immune systems Which are effectively heavily this regulated and that is what lyme disease is in a nutshell not just an infection my own infection was cleared in 2017 just two years it was diagnosed despite me having had the infection in my nervous system and everywhere for 10 years by then.
So with my inability to take any supplements it's impossible to follow any protocol even for one day day no matter how determined I set out
And of course you are exactly right, I have not been living right or well L4 a long time because I have just been broken completely buy years of relentless pain and suffering and hard work, never able to make ends meet and have even one normal day and night no matter how hard I try.
It hasn't always been like this and I did manage much better in the past but so many things have happened so much trauma damage and injury, and simply exhausting and unsustainable overtime to be spending probably 7 or 8 hours every single day of the year devoted to managing respiratory symptoms from eating basic food and unable to eat or drink or take any of the things my body and Brain are desperately craving and crying out for, seeing and smelling all around me.
It's been incredibly hard and I've actually done extraordinary well simply to live this long and to find ingenious ways to manage the symptoms at all.
I honestly don't think anybody have done a better job, Im sure many would have died long ago.
I have also been unable to drink water hardly too. Just unfaceable, makeing me feel so sick at the thought. I do usually hydrate very well. I have been very dehydrated too, another big factor. It was only this evening I can suddenly drink water again. And it's delicious!
So yeah, call it an all round recipe for disaster, but it has been impossibly hard, not least of all mentally with severe depression (chemical and situational) and anxiety.
I am determined to get my strength up now and sleep better. Having had permanent chronic bladder infections since 2012 hasn't helped either because I barely can sleep for 1-hour without being forced to wake desperate to urinate a tiny amount which is impossible to squeeze out. And every time I get back in bed I am too cold to get back to sleep. It's really hard for me to treat the bladder infections because all of the natural antimicrobials I would use I can't tolerate any of them the same would apply to all of my other infections I've just been unable to treat things over the years.
So I've only been sleeping an average of 4 to 6 hours maximum for at least 7 years now and never any quality sleep not even half a nights' worth in all that time for lots of other reasons as well but not least of all the bladder.
I am feeling increasingly better suddenly the past 3 or 4 hours now I've definitely turned a corner. I am managing to be conscious without panicking that something dreadful is about to happen and I will collapse possibly die at any particular moment.
Hopefully tonight and tomorrow will be significantly easier. Phew, boy oh boy. Just feels amazing to start feeling okay again.
