Tummy time

I like the new gastroenterologist. He listens and it didn't seem like I was getting the "you're just fat" vibe that you get from doctors. We're going to start off with getting an abdominal ultrasound to make sure I don't have fatty liver or spleen issues and also we're going to test for celiac and it's related issues just to cover our bases before

Omg, like in Amelie when her dad thinks she has a heart condition? It is definitely real!

I eat that probiotic yoghurt, but, obviously not vegan! Good luck finding the magic foods. :)

I just haaaad to go down the rabbit hole looking up fatty liver disease and now I'm all paranoid. Ugh. Well I guess if it motivates me to do better about moving and losing weight, I guess it's something. Though I do like that one of the alternative treatments is to drink at least three cups of caffeinated coffee a day. That I can do (before noon lol)

I have some coconut milk yogurt I need to eat with some probiotic granola. Need to crack that open for lunch or dinner today. Also, my favorite probiotic food is kimchi. YUM. I did do some googling and found that this probiotic is highly rated and has different strains in one capsule so I ordered one to give it a go. It's expensive so if I don't feel any effects after taking the bottle, I'll try something else

Giiiirl noooo... But, at the same time, NO judgment, cuz I go down similar rabbit holes ALL the time. ;)

That's how many coffees I have!! All before 10 AM, in my case. :)

Good luck with it!! Fingers crossed for no side effects. *crosses*

The reason I'm so paranoid is that my grandfather died at age 40 in 1947 of cirrhosis. Granted, I heard he was an alcoholic but I could still be genetically vulnerable to liver disease (I very, very rarely drink and not to excess when I do)

I stopped by a deli this morning to get their good coffee and brought my oat creamer. I definitely made my quota already BZZZZZZZ

That's wonderful to hear the new GI doc is thorough. I hate the "you're fat" vibe too!
