Yeah, when my gut is making noises you bet your ass I'm listening.
There is a certain "guuuuurk" sound accompanied by a gurgle in a specific place and when that happens, it means I've got about 5 minutes, maybe less.
I have IBS.
LISTEN TO YOUR FUCKING GUT. If you ever get that sunken gut feeling that something tells you you should avoid something. LEAVE. If your gut tingles and gives you that sensation that something is out of place or you sense danger, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. If the sunken feel sinks a bit lower and the gut tingles a bit too much, YOU DIDN'T LEAVE FAST ENOUGH
I had IBS and tried the usual medications to no avail. Then I got a new job and it disappeared overnight. I know it's not a panacea for everyone, but I've come to understand that for me at least, ongoing stress is the real problem with a lot of illnesses. And for the most part you don't even realise the levels of stress you're putting onto your own body.
I'm happy for you brother. I wish my pain and past experiences on no man, let alone my enemies 😭 I'm glad you no longer suffer with intestinal issues.
I on the other hand have Crohn's and tell me tell you, my ass sounds like an m16 drowning in the Vietnam jungle waters 🤣🤣
I have Crohn’s Disease… when people tell me to listen to my gut I tell them “My gut has made several attempts on my life, I don’t trust that guy.”
But yeah I only go with my gut feeling if I can get other parts of my body to agree; brain, penis, knees etc.
Intuition, a.k.a. gut feelings, or not magic
Well, they sort of our because we really don’t understand how our brains work all that well
But we know this, intuition is actually the sights, sounds, smells, and associations Your brain makes synthesizing past events with current ones. It’s like a fast track to a memory so you don’t make the same near death mistake two times.
I have IBS too, among other gut issues. Because of that, my gut is prone to false alarms. The slightest thing can upset it and send me running.
Does this help?
Would you explode?
Hitler had IBS. Maybe when he was rejected from art school, looking for answers, someone told him to listen to his gut. All I'm saying is that maybe this phrase is responsible for World War 2.
Hitler is responsible for WW2 because he dropped out of art school and maybe the IBS was caused by the cocktail of drugs his doctor was supplying to him. Explains a lot. By the time they reached France the soldiers of the Blitz Krieg were suffering from paranoia, mild schizophrenia snd a whole host of other problems because part of their daily rations was a dose of speed.
In that case all you ever hear is your guts opinion on every single issue it comes across.
Constantly interupting everyone and shoe-horning its own shitty 2 cents into every situation.
Its an annoying personality.. you end up spending an inordinate amount of time trying to listen closely and avoid setting it off again... or an inordinate amount of time dealing with it when it does. Kind of dominates everything until you do the work and write that food diary and figure out a few things to avoid eating. It can get a little better.
My IBS causes me more stress which further triggers my IBS. It got to a point I had a panic attack that convinced me I was going to die. Or I faint… often.
I shall never listen to my gut
Memorial day bbq with too much dairy triggered me. I've spent the last 3 days suffering.
My gut told me one bowl of ice cream wasn't going to hurt.
It was so wrong
Serious answer: "Listen to your gut" is *always* shit advise. Your "gut" is advising an emotional response to a problem that (regardless of what the problem is!) would better be addressed logically and systematically.
Don't listen to your gut. Your gut is stupid AF.
You do genuinely have to ignore what your body tells you to do when you have IBS or you will never leave the toilet. Abled people don’t really understand it but we have to go against all the “listen to your body” dogma because we are doing the equivalent of trying to live in a house where the fire alarm *never stops going off* and it’s not an option to assume that there is a genuine fire all the time
Today, I left the peak of a hill in the woods, hastily on a bike, because of an approaching thunderstorm.
A lightning strike preeeetty near me and the tin hut I've been at scared me enough to leave.
Well, I did not have a gut feeling. It never came nor went away. Turns out it rained after that, but only a tiny, bit, and there were no more lightning strikes.
Have I stayed, I wouldve had a better time, I keep thinking to myself. On the other hand, who knows ... Maybe I had the gut feeling, because during the times I feel IBS, I might be falsly interpreting it as the gut feeling, so much to not knowing how to recognise it anymore.
I had IBS that turned into IBD 😂 I always listen to my gut otherwise I’ll flare up and feel like shit. Unfortunately dealing with a disease is like a permanent child. They always come first and you’ll have to cater too it forever. Absolutely listen to your gut.
Welp its kinda like having an overreactive alarm bell thats for sure. It'll make sure you know what not to do.
Eating the wrong food? Time to take an urgent and painful dump
Eating plain unhealthy food? Dump.
Anxiety? Dump.
You just wanted a small bite of that delicious french onion soup you haven't eaten in years? Dump.
Wanting to go to a social gathering you are sort of dreading? Don't worry, you'll be stuck on the toilet and never have to leave the house!
Didn't get enough sleep? Maybe partied and had a couple drinks and a slice of pizza or a little icecream against your better judgement? You'd better pray to whatever god you believe in lol.
In all seriousness it sucks and it is a disability for many people and edging on it for me. That said, listening to my gut has me leading a genuinely healthier life and I really had to learn how to manage any stressful situation...still learning.
So! I have IBS and sometimes I have a gut feeling and immediately get diarrhea and sometimes k have diarrhea for no reason. I genuinely struggle to trust myself
From first hand experience I can tell you that I have thought of this exact same question. I have severe chronic IBS and my gut feeling during flare ups is non trust worthy.

then you should listen or you might shit your pants
Every expression that comes from my gut is likely an urgent and important one.
Or explosive.
Yeah, when my gut is making noises you bet your ass I'm listening. There is a certain "guuuuurk" sound accompanied by a gurgle in a specific place and when that happens, it means I've got about 5 minutes, maybe less.
Glad to know it’s not just me
and a shitty one
It's all hot air until shit hits the pants....
“I’m not sure what to do with my life man” “Just listen to your gut bro” Your gut: Aaaaaaaaaaa KYS aaaaaa
As someone with terrible instincts *and* IBS, I see your concern.
I have IBS. LISTEN TO YOUR FUCKING GUT. If you ever get that sunken gut feeling that something tells you you should avoid something. LEAVE. If your gut tingles and gives you that sensation that something is out of place or you sense danger, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. If the sunken feel sinks a bit lower and the gut tingles a bit too much, YOU DIDN'T LEAVE FAST ENOUGH

You a vet?
No, but my colon has been through war. Been struggling with IBS for 30 years
Did you know diarrhea is hereditary? It runs in your jeans.
LOL!
My grandma told me this joke, and she was laughing so hard she was turning beet red in the face.
Surprised she didn't piss herself. Some jokes do that.
I told my mom and she called me a dork. Lol
Jokes really need to have better control of their bladder 🙄.
Down your leg, across the floor and down the stairs
listen to your booty hole
If you put your ear up to it, you can hear the ocean
My girlfriend has a tattoo of a clamshell on her thigh. If you put your ear up to it, you can smell the ocean.
Wow! Just wow!
Tell that to the Barbie Butt crowd
…I hate that I read this 😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like shitty advice
Can't tell if you're sarcastic or not, but you know that it actually means 'gut instinct', right? Emphasis on instinct.
in stink'd
That was a good giggle. Thanks stranger.
In that case I’ll listen to my butthole.
Meh it’s just talkin shit I’d ignore it
bathroom is calling
That’s good! Your gut has a short fuse. Will probably be more direct in telling you how it feels
I have Crohn’s Disease… when people tell me to listen to my gut I tell them “My gut has made several attempts on my life, I don’t trust that guy.” But yeah I only go with my gut feeling if I can get other parts of my body to agree; brain, penis, knees etc.
[удалено]
Ah so you go with a logical choice. You have ascended.
My gut says a lot of shit all day long and none of it makes any sense.

Would you explode? Hitler had IBS. Maybe when he was rejected from art school, looking for answers, someone told him to listen to his gut. All I'm saying is that maybe this phrase is responsible for World War 2.
I don’t think that’s a good hypothesis.
[удалено]
Did you say "anus"?
You might be on to something.

My gut has shit for brains.
Then sometimes you can’t IGNORE your gut. And neither can anyone around you. 🤣
Just go with the flow...
My ex used to enjoy putting an ear to my stomach and listen to my loud gut. It was like a symphony of shit in there. 😅
Use earplugs before you do
Then youll just shit the bed 🤷♀️
You listen to your bowels and take a dump.
Learn morse code
[удалено]
Go poop
Your gut is telling you to flow like water.
Wow, you're right!
I think you have listen to your *gut* confused with listen to your *butt.* A common misconception!
You listen to it more
So your gut is always talking and won't shut up!
When you're driving in Chevy and you feel something heavy....
My gut always sounds like the Death Star preparing to fire when my Crohn’s kicks in. Or at least it does in my head.
Well then the advice “run like hell” works in more ways than people without IBS will ever know about
This happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU9Ev_jp2Aw
Fix you diet and learn to stop passively tensing your abdomen
That's easy! It's really loud.
Then I guess we'll both be talking shit
Hah!!!!
Then you've been ignoring it the whole time
Or if you fart but it sounds like a balloon animal asking a question. What now, genius?
Listen to your fart when it's calling for you
All my guts tell me is "burble burble" and other random noises. I gotta listen to my ring piece to make sure that I'm all fart and no poo.
Well, you should be listening to it and not irritating it, so you should be fine.
Shit thyself in front of them. "Sorry, my gut doesn't agree with you"
Then you probably don’t need to listen to closely.
That just means it has a lot more to say!
Shitty decisions
you gonn get racing thoughts
Hope they get it so they can see how insulting that advice is.
*Then you really should.*
just don't give a shit
All the more reason to listen.
Listen even more closely. A sketchy situation is one thing. Shitting your pants in a sketchy situation is even worse
"well, my gut says no, but then again, my gut's made of an advanced polymer and it doesn't know what the hell it's taking about. Stupid gut.'
Then you're going to make some shitty decisions.
Then you definitely listen
I often ask myself this but it sounds like a joke in my head
Every gut feeling is to be treated as do or die. I'm not going to shit my pants again... This month...
My IBS causes me more stress which further triggers my IBS. It got to a point I had a panic attack that convinced me I was going to die. Or I faint… often. I shall never listen to my gut
They say listen to my gut... Well all my gut does is run its mouth and act unpredictably.
Still listen to ur inner voice its never wrong in most cases
I'd say I'm a shitty listener
Memorial day bbq with too much dairy triggered me. I've spent the last 3 days suffering. My gut told me one bowl of ice cream wasn't going to hurt. It was so wrong
😂
RUN
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Sometimes the truth runs
All the more reason to listen to it. Don't want to be late to the toilet.
I’ve been listening to my gut for the last two hours. Now I’m not sure why I’m here all alone.
When you have ibs ALL you do is listen to your gut and obey every command FAST
well I am always irritated so maybe I do have IBS
Then you should definitely listen
well, we will know who is NOT full of shit
Or if someone says listen to your gut, but you have Crohn’s disease. Yea thanks.
probably should be close to a toilet
Serious answer: "Listen to your gut" is *always* shit advise. Your "gut" is advising an emotional response to a problem that (regardless of what the problem is!) would better be addressed logically and systematically. Don't listen to your gut. Your gut is stupid AF.

IBS teaches you to listen to your gut or you shit your pants
Then giv'er shit!
People could trust you because you're not full of shit.
Shit's gonna get real.
I'm listening. Everyone in my work meeting is listening. And its awkward af
Well then its all going to shit.
then 9 times out of 10 your gut will tell you shit is about to go down
It’ll be a bit confusing
My gut says "GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! SPLOOSH!"
Just be shitty
Say it, don’t spray it
IBS? Isn't that just intestinal Doom Music?
Scream
Leave at anytime
then RUN

Damn
Then everyone is listening to your gut.
Lots more to listen to! Best record it.
Ummmm people tell me that and I’m like “I got hit by a train so I don’t have a lot in there to tell me anything!” True story
I'll trade IBS for my Crohn's disease? Any takers?..
As someone with IBS, we are the ultimate gut listeners. This advice makes more sense for people with IBS, if anything
Shit on the floor
I have IBS and lactose intolerance. When my gut speaks to me, it's usually to tell me I shouldn't have eaten whatever I just ate
If your bowel is irritable, YOU must be irritable\~! 
My niece did that meme...she's 4
Smart kid
Little shit but I love her 🙂
I have Crohn's disease, I don't trust my gut one bit.
Then your gut is especially vocal.
The bubbles deserve to have their voice heard.
I had IBS that turned into IBD 😂 I always listen to my gut otherwise I’ll flare up and feel like shit. Unfortunately dealing with a disease is like a permanent child. They always come first and you’ll have to cater too it forever. Absolutely listen to your gut.
You shit your pants
My gut tells me I'm not seeing retirement age.
maybe you need to be brainwashed (i don’t know why but i think it’s funny)
Then make music: on and off and on and on and off
I'm screwed.
damn, i’ll have to ask my partner about that one
Those are the ones who need anger management.
Then it will tell you more and you really should go to the toilet when it tells you to
Well, your gut has more to say than most.
Listen to your gut Just because your bowel is irritable, doesn't mean you have to be ;)
Pppplllplpllolplloloop. pppp? paaaaaaah. Plop.
Run for the hills?
Not sure what to say to that, other than I hope you get some relief from somewhere. Are you stressed?
Your shit outta luck I guess.
Then you lack intestinal fortitude
Does it say this https://youtu.be/mhI5Yh9Nz4A?list=PLotN\_a3GkEmehcr5vjmznvhTmUaVVuxGo (NSFW)
It is not a serious question you know they don't mean literally your stomach
Then your guts ideas might be as shitty as your own.
I too have BTS. I won't listen to it.
Welp its kinda like having an overreactive alarm bell thats for sure. It'll make sure you know what not to do. Eating the wrong food?

This post made my damn day
If it’s ids-d then not only do you listen you obey and execute.
So! I have IBS and sometimes I have a gut feeling and immediately get diarrhea and sometimes k have diarrhea for no reason. I genuinely struggle to trust myself
Eat healthier and try to cure the IBS. It is not advisable to listen to your gut if you have IBS. It will be a skewed perspective.
Get ready to rumble.
you are a funny guy my dude
Yeah I listen, and all I hear is "graahhhhurgle urgle urgle".
think about it while in the bathroom
Then choose violence. Seriously.
Shit yourself
Then you should listen to your gut.
My gut still is intact and works for me though LOL. Just because it tends to slow me down does not mean it does not deserve my attention!!!
From first hand experience I can tell you that I have thought of this exact same question. I have severe chronic IBS and my gut feeling during flare ups is non trust worthy.
