So I stopped eating grains...
...and my body has been slowly adjusting itself to this strange new world, which has so far gone really well. I'm not having terrible anxiety attacks anymore, at least. I have more energy, I'm exercising on the floor of my room, I'm far more alert in classes, I don't feel guilty over stupid, trivial things like picking the brown shirt over the purple one. All in all, it's been a great improvement.
Except that now I have to poop every day. Every. Day.
This is pretty unusual for me. There was a time when I was younger (probably from about 8-15) where it was my normal to go two weeks and then take a massive, toilet-clogging dump. Didn't have any clue that normal people didn't do that, and it was pretty confusing to find out that not everybody kept a plunger at the ready in their bathroom or had lots of reading material for when the giant log and/or its friend slllloooooowllllyyyyy eased itself out, bending over when there was no more room for it to go anywhere and requiring at least two flushes to go down even with a toilet that could suck down a cat with no trouble.
Is this normal? Are you SUPPOSED to poop every day? Once I found out that longer than three days counts as constipation, I formed the idea of normal people using the toilet maybe every other day.
This is crazy. I'm actually mildly disturbed by this development.
In other news, I'm pretty sure that either my superior deep jugular lymph node is mildly inflamed or my right lateral submandibular gland has a minor blockage. I'm massaging with a cayenne and ginger muscle rub and using heat compresses on it. Either way, should probably see my dentist and figure out if I need another root canal. Why is there no 'glands' tag?
Also, why the hell is my ass bleeding? It NEVER did this when I was pushing out things the size of my forearm.
