Every day I feel general abdominal discomfort. The only foods I can eat are macaroni and sweet potatoes. It is not severe pain, but always there. I keep thinking the feeling will never end until the problem is diagnosed but I need to be healthy again to get an endoscopy (the test that would diagnose it). So I am in a Catch-22 situation, based on what my sister, an oncologist, texted my mom, who I live with. I have no known pre-existing GI tract disorders or food allergies and Celiac disease already has been ruled out by a blood test. The next time slot available to get an endoscopy is in November, which is too late for me. I feel like nothing will change until after I am diagnosed because this has been going on for weeks. Until I feel normal again, my mom will not call the hospital to ask about a cancellation before the November date because in my current medical state, there is no way I can drink a full gallon of the colonoscopy prep laxative, a disgusting powder called GoLytely, for eight hours. And the longer she puts that off, the less likely there is to be a cancellation, I assume. Please pray for both my healing and the ability to get an earlier endoscopy.
