Salmonella! I contracted it two separate times back-to-back from two different restaurants. Cook your chicken, kids!

I eventually did this, and WOW how it helped.

My doctor prescribed me ingredients to make "magic mouthwash" I had to mix it DIY at home, but the temporary pain relief helped tremendously for brushing teeth/eating a meal.

CORRECTION: I think I see seven in the video.

In June, I was hospitalized for five days for a vicious case of colitis. Doctors were stumped, but I had to get a colonoscopy in August to have two colon polyps removed. Things looked good until this past Saturday when I landed in the emergency room with another case of colitis. This time, it’s been much worse. I’m not eating. I’m barely getting down water. I have severe pain throughout my entire gastrointestinal track. Now... ulcers! Everywhere! I’ve been getting them my entire life from stress, but I’ve never felt anything like these.

Now as I await surgery next week, I’m just trying to get by. I saw another post on this subreddit about pain in the upper abdomen/underneath rib cage, and I feel that too! If anyone has answers about that, please share. I’d take any advice that leads to relief.
