Did you know that August is Functional Gastrointestinal and Motility Disorders Awareness Month?
Morning ladies and Happy Friday!August is Gastropersis Awareness Month and I thought I would share with you what it is and how I manage to eat with this illness. I am going to share today some of the health challenges I face, and how I keep wellness and nutrition in my mind, daily. Years ago, when learning about my Ehlers-Danlos diagnosis, I went to the hospital to undergo an X-Ray for how long it took for food to digest in my stomach, as I already has stomach issues diagnosed as "IBS" years ago and I was still having problems. I don't like to necessarily talk a lot about my disease, but I do like to inform, and raise awareness, if someone else recognizes symptoms or is having difficulty.
