The Finding Out Day.
Soon...
I have been having a roller coaster of stomach (digestive) issues over the past few months. Between being unable to use the restroom, and using it too much-- It has sucked.
I tried as many people would, to manage the symptoms on their own: cutting out things they thought might be the problem, fiber, plenty of water, lots of greens, but nothing worked. After almost being late to my university courses multiple times, I figured enough was enough. I didn't want to live like this for long if I had anything to do with it.
I went to the doctor that I see and we did multiple blood tests to try and eliminate more serious issues. Needless to say, they all came back absolutely perfect-- which was nice but didn't help the issue to be resolved.
Given my family history of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) it was not a low possibility that I would have it.
What might be the cure?
Well absolutely nothing!
One must simply go on a low FODMAP diet. In a short explanation: FODMAP is an acronym used basically saying foods that ferment a lot in your digestive system and cause much discomfort.
Low FODMAP-- right I got what it kind of is, but what does that mean?
NO LACTOSE OR GLUTEN
Words spoken to a girl who has worked in a bakery for the past 4 years and eats the scraps.
Jokes on them.
