Had bad constipation a few weeks ago and took milk of magnesia for the first time ever. Hey guess what that stuff makes you do? Shart city. I didn't realize how dramatic it would be--and even though it has long since left my system, I am TERRIFIED it will happen one day out of the blue!!!

I don't worry about sharting-but I do pee every time I cough, sneeze, laugh hard or my LO kicks my bladder. Its super fun!

I feel this way about burping...like if I burp I'll vomit. I came close once and got some acid burn but I don't force it either. Of course if I'm really not sure I just head to the bathroom anyway.

Oh I see, my sister had her gall bladder removed too so everything goes right thru her as well. I'm sorry that you are going thru this. You are stuck between a rock and a hard place, mama.
