Euphemism
As the name of this blog informs you, I have irritable bowel syndrome. You may notice that it is irritable bowel syndrome, not irritable stomach syndrome. Nevertheless, much of the time when I get sick, which can last from a few days to a few months, I usually tell people that my stomach is not doing too well. This is for social pleaseantries. In reality what that really means is...
Everything below my ribcage is tied in knots! I'm getting frequent random stabs of pain! I spent 3 hours last night going from the toilet to lying rolled up naked on the bathroom floor! What I want most in the world is to just vomit out the entire contents of my body! I'm so tired because my body is expelling food in an undigested state! etc., etc., etc....
I hope you find this information helpful.
