A daily intake
Those who have known me for a while or have lived with me know of my issues of the stomach. I am referred to sometimes as the girl who could clear an entire room in a few seconds due to a awful smell that came from little old me. I am not embarrassed or ashamed since it is who I am. When I started dating Ryan those were the first things I told him and he had the choice to take it or leave it. It has been a problem with me my whole life.
Well I have been to the doctors and I just may have found an answer to why. They told me I have no digestive enzymes in my stomach or intestines. So pretty much 1. I don't absorb any nutrients from my food and 2. I don't digest food at all and hence leaves me with quite an issue on the other end. I was shocked! Growing up we thought it had to do with milk and thought I was lactose in tolerant well it is not the lactose it is the lack of enzymes in the stomach to digest everything that I have trouble with due to food. Now every time I eat I have to take these digestive enzymes plus a probiatic. Then every morning and night I have to drink a tablespoon of flax seed oil ( disgusting by the way) and a teaspoon of wheat germ oil. They also found me to have a low thyroid so I am on thyroid pills twice a day as well. Then of course I have to add my calcium, prenatal, and prime rose to that as well. So needless to say I feel like a drug addict and I am thinking that this will be my life forever. I am hoping that things will get better due to me doing all this. I have been doing it now for two weeks and have seen a difference so hopefully I can be some what normal in the digestive area. And when I see old friends my smell will be something of the past!!
