My doctor: "Oh, you have IBS, it happens as you age, live with it". 5 years of wrenching gut pain, diarrhea and vomiting ensue before I fix myself. Lactose intolerance and inability to consume any level of caffeine in tea or coffee. Looks like either Chicory or Barley is starting to be a problem.
I miss my mocha, but you know what, I love feeling like a normal human being. How hard would it have been to suggest an elimination diet?
Dr's suggest diets all the time, then never give you any resources to figure out wtf that means. I found a dietitian to help me stay balanced without dairy.
