I was afraid to eat anything other than oatmeal and scrambled eggs, as those were the only foods that didn’t send me running to the bathroom. As a foodie who’s always thinking about what I want to cook next, this was incredibly frustrating and upsetting. Finally, after a lot of concern from not only myself but my family, I visited a GI doctor.
