I haven't been to the doctor since.....well...since way younger than 10. I don't even know. But I fear that my winning streak is coming to an end this Friday as I am scheduled to go to the doctor.
*Insert all sorts of explatives*
For the past several weeks, I've been getting stomach aches like no one's business and they hurt like a mother! For hours a day my stomach will either feel like burning or like a bowling ball is stuck in there (that's honestly it! I'm not withholding symptoms because I feel like I'll be judged if I say "I have gas"). Tums has become my best friend. I have to slouch like crazy during classes to get into some kind of comfortable position. I've changed my whole diet so that I'm eating a lot more alkaline (instead of acidic) foods. I bought some "good bacteria" vitamin pills from Green Market and have been making all sorts of drink-concoctions from the fruits/herbs found there.
Ok, let's talk about how serious this is. I've given up coffee and super sugary foods (and it's not because of our diet). I've got no other choice, because those foods hate my tummy right now.
All of these natural remedies/diet choices seem to help, but I have a feeling that this problem (though waning) isn't going away any time soon. I'm up to trying any kind of remedy (provided that it's natural and not chemically induced), because this problem is getting kind of old. And honestly, it's really keeping me away from doing homework, because it's kinda hard to focus when your belly is inconsolably aching.
If you've got a remedy, let a sister know!
I'm going to the doctor, but only to see what he thinks it might be (and be one step closer to running tests if need be). Not to be an obnoxious organic-snob-girl, I just really really don't want to take chemically drugs.
xoxo- Jenna
