My bowel movements have been getting worse over the last few days (as the belly swelling has been getting worse), and today it’s been pure sludge.

(The color of the bm is actually a lot lighter than then this iPhone photo–the photos change the color of things now, I’ve noticed. At times it’s very light brown, even yellow in parts.)

I had some bad cramping too, at one point a really strong twinge of pain, but it subsided.
