Go figure. Two days after I tell everyone that most of my symptoms have gone away but a few I have a flare up. I noticed the last day or two that my abdomen is getting very distended and I’ve been burping a lot. I have a feeling the culprit may be vinegar or I’ve…

It’s good to be back home after being gone on travel for work for almost three weeks. While I do miss my family it is nice to be able to have an easier time controlling my diet. I definitely had a rough time with it while I was in Cleveland. So far now that I’m…
I haven’t felt this bad in a few weeks. My body is just so pissed off at me because of what I ate for breakfast and I’ve been feeling like shit since then. I’ve been getting Panera Bread bagels for breakfast on the way into work this week for breakfast and completely forgot to today.…
