Cramping Appears To Have Resolved!


My cramping has seem to have dissipated today (Saturday). Thursday was probably the worst in terms of feeling an overall blunt cramping near my lower abdomen. Also late Thursday night I kept having to go to the bathroom around 11 P.M. and midnight. My bowel movements were normal but I could feel what I call the "alien" or massive pain/cramping until I completed my bowel movements. It was interesting because the cramping was always in the exact same area. I know sometimes the cramping or pain can move around but this 

In terms of what I have been doing to help out the pain, I have been making sure I get ample sleep. So last night my Oura ring tracked 8 hours of sleep. You have to remember it does take me a little while to get to sleep so when I get 8 hours I feel pretty good. The previous night before that I only got 7 hours of sleep which made me feel sluggish and tired and also seems to have an impact on my gut health. The other change I have made is I have been trying to eat light (nothing greasy or too heavy). Lastly, I have been making sure I have been taking hot baths to help relieve the pain. 

I feel great compared to where I was a couple of weeks ago when I both have constipation and cramping and the constipation seems to have gone away and the cramping has been greatly minimized. Even though things are going well I will try to keep at it with ample sleep, eating light, taking hot baths, and increasing my fiber a little bit.
