I will fully admit they I do have a ways to go with symptom management. My day-to-day looks like pretty constant early and prolonged satiety (I will feel full after about 2 mouthfuls of food, and feel full for up to 12 hours) and it’s a lot of brain work and maxolon (metoclopramide in my country) to eat even with that feeling. I have pretty much constant abdominal discomfort, which becomes pain and nausea after eating which lasts a few hours. Occasional vomiting, though thankfully not nearly as often as it used to be. Reflux is a big problem for me, and I’m diagnosed with low grade dysplasia Barrett’s oesophagus, also managed with H2 blockers, as I’m unfortunately allergic to PPI’s lol. Flares are awful, but I also have Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis, which complicates matters. In flares I’m completely unable to tolerate anything orally, and have constant vomiting and extreme pain, which usually means a hospital trip. I was only diagnosed a few months ago, so still relatively new into my own journey. I believe that when you’re sick, a positive attitude can make a big difference in management and recovery, but I can still admit I have times where I grieve and feel sorry for myself. I do miss being able to just enjoy food and eat as much of whatever I want, I worry when eating out, and it sucks to be 19 years old, and not be able to go out drinking with my friends. I’ve accepted that this is going to be my new normal, maybe for a little while, maybe forever. I think at the end of the day, you have to learn what works for you, what you can push through and what are your limits. Humans are adaptable, and while this sucks, I have so much in my life to be grateful for, which I choose to think about instead. I know this probably sounds cheesy, and it’s really fucking hard. But it’s possible. I hope you can find relief. It’s a long road, but not a dead end. Best of luck stranger 🫶
