Hi friends! I was not looking forward going into this test (anorectal manometry) so I thought I would film as much as I could for you and walk you through it just in case you might have to take this test in the future!
Test like these are so nerve wracking and they can really make you feel alone and embarrassed so I wanted to make a video showing of me going through it so you know you're not alone and that it really isn't to embarrassing! You got this!
I hope you enjoyed the video and don't forget to give this video a like and a comment and to subscribe for new videos every Saturday! And as always, don't forget to spread kindness and joy!

I had to have this test too. Would have loved to have a video like this before mine. Thank you for sharing this even if it is potentially embarrassing.

i really hope you read this. I’m so sorry what you have to go through. I had SMAS Syndrome and a surgery. I kept throwing up after the surgery and doctors thought it was Gastroparesis but they intervened me with Thiamine and my symptoms improved so significantly. After having intense unexplained Nausea and Severe Cyclic Vomiting for 2 weeks after SMAS surgery my symptoms almost all vanished in 30 mins

Wow Kenna, sweetheart you go through so much but your still smiling, I’m so happy that you went through with the test, especially with the pain your having. A You Tuber called HOSPITAL PRINCESS CHEYANNE PERRY. Also had the same test her mom recorded it so if anyone wants to watch]. However Kenna you explained it all so eloquently it was enough for me, so thank you 👍. I have Chronic Pancreatitis, plus other diagnosis. I think you react like me when someone asks are you ok? even if I’m dying inside I always say “yep I’m fine” Good luck with your results. Gentle hugs from Uk ❤️

Girl, you on the floor with the enema, I felt that in my soul! I find myself there frequently lol and this test is not great, it's one of my least favorites too. I mean we kind of dislike most of them lol. I imagine you have already been tested for this, but just in case, have you been evaluated for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth or Fungal overgrowth? When mine flairs up I become so distended, 2-3x my normal bloat, constipation worsens and so does my pain. I'm hoping that with the results of your latest test they can find some answers and create a plan that is effective for your pain. Congratulations on the successful sweatshirt launch!! Btw is there any way to private message you?

Yes I’ve had that before! I did multiple rounds of antibiotics for that in the past. And thank you! And you can message me through my Instagram!

Thank you for explaining what happened during the test & for being so real about it. I’m not sure if I’d be able to have this test, as I have a phobia of doing a no 2 around other people. I hope your pain improves. x

I found your channel after searching for information on defecography (yay). This video and the defecography video were really helpful to me and made me feel like I can go through with the tests I need. I honestly might not have otherwise. Thank you for sharing! I have Crohn’s, gastroparesis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and some other things. I used to have a GJ tube and central line, too.

Good for you for encouraging others and making them less scared of the unknown. Omg girl…you had me rotflmao. My only experience with this test did not go well. I had an internal hemmeroid. This was when you and I were both at mayo. The enema caused issues with bleeding. When I went for the test I bled so bad she freaked out and sent me to mayo ER. LOL so really I never made it through that test. You win. Hah!

You can do this!! I know it's scary, at any point you need them to stop for you to take a few deep breaths or if it hurts, let your nurse know. They know it's rough and they will help you get through it as comfortably as possible. I pray for all the best on your GI journey❤
