TIFU by eating too many prunes and having the worst stomach cramps of my life before a college midterm exam
Well, technically didn't happen today, but it wasn't super long ago. Anyway, I went to the store to pick up an Amazon package and decided to do some shopping and bought some prunes in a can since they looked good. It was my first time having any. I also bought some spicy peanuts to accompany them. Anyway, I tried the prunes out later that night while studying for a major college exam that I would have the next morning. And goddamn those prunes were good.
Eating a few of them lead to me devouring almost an entire can. I then downed those spicy peanuts (really bad idea) and swallowed it with some wine, I know, weird combination. I then resumed studying the rest of the night.
I later woke up like at 2 in the morning and was in excruciating pain. I thought my stomach was going to explode and split in two. I could see it MOVING. I got off the bed, moaning and hunched over and somehow managed to get to the kitchen where I started tossing and yeeting stuff out of the pantry until I found some tea and cooked it, all the while I was struggling to stand. I was drenched in sweat. It felt like gravity was crushing me. I was also downing some stomachache medicine and drank the tea. I only managed to sleep 4 hours that night.
The next morning I woke up without pain, thank god. However, I was super tired and was worried about doing horrible on the exam. So, I drive to school only for the professor to cancel the exam. Good ending. Anyway, lesson learned. Prunes aren't for young people like me.
TL;DR Ate too many prunes without knowing they are a VERY good fiber source and ended up messing my body up the night before a major exam. Exam ended up being cancelled last minute.
