10 Things You Know If You Have Tummy Problems

Having a stomach ache or regular problems with your stomach might be one of the most aggravating things to deal with. Especially when you've got eyes bigger than your tummy. In the daily life of a person plagued by stomach issues, there are so many moments of anguish over foods that cannot and shouldn't be eaten. Here's a list of things we all feel when our tummy isn't feeling right:

1. "There will be free cookies!!!!" does not spur excitement


2. "Serving PIZZAAA!" also doesn't

Pizza is a delicious gift from the Gods, sent specifically to anger your intestines.


3. You are constantly checking food labels

The complicated ingredients don't faze you. "Hey, partially hydrogenated palm fruit oil! I didn't know you were in this snack!"


4. You're in awe of the friends who can eat anything they want to without pain


5. Not being able to eat anything your college makes


6. There is constant fear of letting a fart out in public


7. You love talking about your bowels with friends

Even during dinner conversations, which is a great way to make your group of dinner friends dwindle.


8. You rejoice when you discover tasty gluten-free/dairy-free/soy-free/nut-free (you get the point) versions of your favorite foods.


9. Picking from a menu is one hundred times easier

Especially when you can only properly digest a single entree.

10. You love making jokes about digestive issues.

11. You've learned to take care of yourself and be very, very grateful for what your body CAN do

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
