Journaling reads:
I always battled my stomach, but didn't realize it wasn't normal until after my first year of college. By chance, I saw an article on the symptoms of ovarian cancer. After seeing my OB and having an ultra sound, I was cleared - but I was still living in pain. My GP gave me the catch-all diagnosis - IBS.
I spent the next few years constantly modifying my diet, discovering my triggers, and experimenting with supplements and medications. Each different doctor had their own theories and tests. When my gall bladder became a factor, there were even more unanswered questions. It became clear Id never have an accurate diagnosis.
Now, Ive given up on the doctors, diets, and pills. Each day I go with the flow and live with the pain.
