McDonald's and Stomach Woes: A Night at My Aunt's House

We’ll I decided to have McDonald’s today. TL;DR- HUGE MISTAKE!!! So we’re staying at my aunts house tonight due to some storming in our area. We live in a trailer house, but my aunt lives in an actual house with a basement/bunker, so we always come here just incase we have to use the bunker. Anyways, I decided to eat fast food today, and now my stomach is acting up. My stomach hurts, I’m nauseous, I’m bloated, and I just feel all around gross and awful. Now normally at home, I have ways of dealing with this. I usually: 1- Sleep at my desk for the night (I put pillows on my desk and lay my head on it like I used to in school. Sleeping sitting up helps me feel less nauseous) 2- Walk on the treadmill in order to make myself burp. 3- Talk on a voice recorder (I know this is kinda weird, but talking helps me be able to burp, so I record myself talking on my voice recorder; sort of like an audio diary!) 4- I can burp SUPER loud, and I don’t have to worry about waking anyone. Because I’m at my aunts house, I can’t really do any of this! I can’t sleep at my desk; I mean I’d sleep at the dinner table, but I don’t have any pillows. I can’t walk on the treadmill because they don’t have one (I’ve just been pacing around the living room). I can’t do an audio diary to make myself burp because it would be too loud, and I can’t burp super loud to let it all out. I’ve just been pacing back and forth as quietly as I can, and burping as quietly as I can. Because I’m burping so quiet and not forcing them out, they keep getting stuck and it hurts SO BAD! I had a burp stuck in my throat for about 2 minutes, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Once it finally came out, I was actually trying to cast h my breathe. It hurts so much, I hate this!! Also I know this is a bit TMI, but I’m finally having a bowel movement! While I’m writing this, I’m sitting in the bathroom to try and see if I can poop and make myself feel a bit better, and I’m finally going! Pooping tends to make me feel a bit better too, so I’m glad I’m going. I just hate that I can’t cope how I normally would! If this were to happen at home, I’d be up for maybe 1-2 hours until I burped out all the gas, but now I’ll have to be up for longer! I just want to go to sleep…

Also I’m adding onto this because I don’t want to make another post but; I hate having IBS-C! When I can’t poop, I feel awful. And when I do poop (or have diarrhea at least), I feel awful. There’s no in between!! I bring this up because I’m going right now due to being bloated (don’t ask me how it works that’s just always how it happens for me), and it’s just so painful. The burping is awful!! I wish I was just normal- like why can’t I poop normally? This is so dumb, I wish my body would just work-
