we don't know yet. it could be IBS (irratible bowel syndrome) or IBD (inflamitory bowel disorder) or just a gluten intolerance. or CD (celiac disease) this is where gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, or something else that i can never remember) causes an autoimmune reaction and your body produces anti-bodies that attack the villi (tiny fingerlike projections in the small intestine that aid heavily in digestion) causing malabsorption which, in turn, causes malnutirition... oh. and a lot of diarrhea. and joint pain. and can eventually effect the eyes (i don't know why) and ultimately, if untreated, death.

but!

i'm on top of it. i started a gluten free diet about two months ago... maybe even longer than that, like two and a half months ago) and it takes a while for progress to be seen, and i was symptom free for about three weeks. then i got kidney stones. then the day after that, i was sick again. I have been sick since then. thats been about a week now. but the last two days have been better. i don't FEEL as bad. and the symptoms have been less severe. so maybe i've gotten it outta my system.
