It feels like I was set back years all because of a stupid problem. A year or so ago I started having troubles with my stomach, nausea, pain, ect. after I ate, stuff like that every few weeks. At first I assumed it was food poisoning but it just kept happening, with the periods of illness lasting longer and longer. I got worried after a period of NINE STRAIGHT DAYS of severe nausea. So I went to the first doctor, diagnosis: gastritis and eating too much junk. It kept happening so I went to another, same answer. I was dropping weight fast because eating hurt so much, the nausea became a constant for 4 months. Finally I went to a specialist and got an endoscopy, found gastritis and GERD but nothing else. Well eventually I went to a fourth doctor and she suggested something simple: an exclusion diet. and it worked, after dropping 35 pounds, draining my savings, and losing my job because I couldn't work, it turns out I'm soy intolerant. I hate everything.
