Oh yall I’ve got a real bad tummy. I’ve got the runs and my belly is gurgling bad.

Not feeling well at all.

[blushingblurbs]

Have you ever felt like your belly has just had it? Like my guts are just tired from constantly rumbling. My tummy wants to settle so badly but it just can’t.

Keeping the bathrooms stocked with toilet paper, keeping them clean, etc has been a nightmare, too.

One of the poor nurses has bruises on her arm from sick patients grabbing her, and she said she’s given out a lot of stomach meds.

There aren’t enough cots for anyone - guests or staff - who feel unwell so everyone with a bellyache is just left to try and soothe themselves as best they can.

The constant tummy turning is loud…for my belly and the others’ too.

I’m not feeling right 🫤 my stomach is feeling all bubbly and sloshy. I had horrible burps earlier.

I don’t feel queasy or sick but my belly feels like it’s full of yucky jelly or something. Just super gurgly.

And from the sounds of it, my guts aren’t the only ones feeling a little off. I’ve heard everyone’s breakfast digesting inside them.

My belly is soo uncomfortable right now.

I had such a bad tummy ache 😔 I think the leftovers I had were off. A couple hours after eating, my lower tummy started feeling sick. It was so loud and rumbly and sloshy that I was scared I was going to have explosive… you know what. You can actually hear my poor belly groaning and sounding really liquid when I massage my lower gut.

I was so bloated that it hurt badly - I was so sore I felt like crying. I kept feeling like gas was building and building in my belly, rumbling and adding to the pressure inside my gut without wanting to, well, leave. I kept rubbing my tummy, trying to encourage the gas to move along but my guts were really upset and refused to be efficient. I had to lie down and moan, clutching my tummy in agony until the gas started passing through me. And even then, I still had a bad tummy ache… it took forever to feel better. I kept passing gas as my tummy cramped painfully, making me whimper in pain.

Today I had to run to the toilet immediately upon waking up, holding my upset tummy and moaning as my bad belly relieved itself. My belly has been feeling unwell all day. It’s not quite diarrhea, but my tummy is sick and unhappy. I’m still bloated and uncomfortable, and my guts are rumbling and feeling really full. I need someone to take care of my sick tummy 😔

Witnessed a poor woman get sick to her stomach tonight.

She was walking in front of me, with a guy who had his arm draped over her shoulder, almost guiding her.

Her arms were folded across her midriff, and she wasn’t standing up straight, but I don’t think she was drunk.

She was moaning to him about nothing in particular for a bit, but then I heard her distinctly say “my stomach can’t take it anymore!” and suddenly she was puking all over the sidewalk.

I happened to be with someone who works part time as a medic, and we were able to offer a bottle of water to the guy while she heaved her guts up.

When she finally stopped, she was clutching her stomach and we urged her to relax, have some water and catch her breath.

Unfortunately, her stomach had other plans. The poor thing went white as a sheet, mumbled a thank you, tugged his hand and moaned, “I’ve gotta find a bathroom..!”

Bless him. He didn’t understand what she was trying to convey, but my medic friend and I knew right away. She was holding her lower belly with one hand, and an ominous gurgling sound was coming from it.

My friend thought she was close to an accident, because she immediately went in a consoling, professional manner. Assuring her that the restrooms were close, where they were, and offered assistance.

She declined, but she bolted for the bathroom so quickly that she left her partner behind with us. He explained that she hadn’t felt well since dinner, but he hadn’t ever seen her sick like this before…

He wasn’t sure if her illness was viral or food related and when she returned, it was clear she was between diarrhea attacks :/

We’re coming into port tomorrow, disembarking so many sick passengers. Hopefully most of them recover tonight because if they present too many Norovirus symptoms while traveling, they’ll be stuck.

The supply of toilet paper and vomit bags is dangerously low. Not to mention staffing levels. I don’t think a single employee has been spared from having at least a mildly upset stomach.

The most unwell guests and staff will transition to a hotel. But space is limited and most rooms need a referral.

I just wish it wasn’t such a contagious sickness. The germs are fairly resilient and spread like crazy.

[blushingblurbs]

The deep rumblies in my tummy made me actually moan and double over IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.

Needless to say, I rushed to the nearest bathroom and found a line of other ship passengers complaining about breakfast, the tummy bug, and seasickness.

The bathroom smells like sickness.

Diarrhea and gas gurgling in my tummy (pt 2)

still no diarrhea yet… but i can feel so much sloshing inside of me. i need someone here to rub my tummy and help me get all of this out

[blushingblurbs]

Up early with a nasty bout of diarrhea.

Even worse, I’m not the only one.

My stomach hurts and feels so sick.

[blushingblurbs]

After lunch upset stomach gurgles 😩 ohh please settle soon !

[blushingblurbs]

Something about a bubbly tummy ache makes everyone want to just lie down.

The peppiest girls, toughest guys. Everyone is suddenly equal when stomachs ache.

Trying to change the meals into more suitable dishes isn’t even possible; the head chefs got sick this morning.

Toilet roll supply is definitely impacted as well. The vomiting portion of this illness seems to be shorter, with victims spending more time in the bathroom.

But I fear I need another sick bag myself, soon!

[blushingblurbs]

Something really didn’t agree with my belly 😣😖

Indigestion Stomach Ache

[blushingblurbs]

I threw up in the toilet.

With food poisoning spreading on board the ship, we’re meant to vomit into the sick bags so those needing toilets can access them in time.

But my stomach was churning and with all that bad food swimming around my tummy, I couldn’t think straight. My belly hurt and I just felt so sick, I instinctively ran for the bathroom.

The awful mess started to come up before I even got in front of the toilet. I slammed the stall door shut, turned around and everything that was making my tum feel so sick started to pour right out.

At some point, I realized I was clutching my belly, feeling it heave every splash up and out. There was so much sick up I was nearly projectile vomiting.

And when it was finally over, my stomach hurt so bad and I felt so gross but to my embarrassment and shame, there was now a line outside the stalls. A line of ladies who weren’t well, and really actually needed the toilets. And who’d heard me tossing my cookies, breaking the rule about sock bags.

The thought of so many women having diarrhea within inches from me made my stomach turn, and before I could flush away my previous mess, more half digested lunch erupted from my lips. Unfortunately, I’d already hit the lever, so to avoid being splashed by my sick, I had to hold what was spewing from my belly, filling my cheeks with more sour, spoiled chicken and seafood. When I could finally let it go, I noticed how bad it smelled. The whole mess had been turning in my tummy for ages, and it showed.

It had barely landed in the water when a bathroom attendant knocked on the flimsy door. “Ma’am, may I get you a sick bag? You need to leave the stall. There’s ladies in line who can’t wait any longer.”

Sick City

Population: 121 stomachs and growing

Cleaning staff and available restrooms are very limited. If it’s just a vomit situation, you’re encouraged to use a bag or basin.

My stomach is aching…!

[blushingblurbs]

Me right now…

the way people hold their hand to their stomach as it rumbles

[blushingblurbs]

My tummy cannot quit rumbling while food poisoning does its thing.

It’s soo uncomfortable. If I don’t keep a hand pressed to my belly, the gurgles are really loud.

I want to lie down but my shift is starting again and we have meetings. And I don’t want to get sick in the bunk…
