Stomach
My stomach issue have been an ongoing thing since high school. Last fall I went to a doctor that was recommended to me by Chris's sister (a nurse who worked with him a bit). He told me basically that I can't do anything about my issues and that I should find something to distract myself when I don't feel well because I make it worse. I cried in his office. He actually said "Was it something I said." Yes idiot, you did.
Anyhow, I haven't bothered seeing a gastro doc since then. For a while my stomach was doing much better (after the holidays, possible because of the stress reduction). Starting almost 2 weeks ago the heartburn came back. Like straight up burning, triggered by leaning to the side (either, not just right) or bending over (like taking care of bunny every night). I've been getting lower intestinal upset from time to time too (today it's particularly bad).
I'm thinking it's time to try again. Keeping a food journal failed miserably, I thought about it once a day but still haven't gotten back to it. I'm not really sure what I can go in with. Chris did find a description of people with gurgling like me, but it doesn't sound actionable (yet).
As usual, I feel like there's nothing to do and I just have to be unhappy. But I do try to remember how lucky I am to not have the problems of some other FFers.
