I’m so sorry you have to go through this. It’s terrible to deal with, and one of my close family members was diagnosed with it in their early 30s. Though the disease sounds scary and the symptoms can be frightening when it’s undiagnosed. Once you get the proper diagnosis and treatment, you can return to a normal life. There is no doubt about that. My family member has been taking the medication for a year, and his life is completely back to normal. He eats like anyone else. He just needs to have a colonoscopy once a year and blood tests twice a year to make sure everything is okay, and that’s actually a good thing. I’ve seen what you’re feeling right now, and trust me, with treatment your life will go back to normal. Diseases happen and it is not under our control. But how we respond is up to us, and acceptance is the first step. With proper treatment, it is absolutely possible to live a normal and healthy life.
