I can only imagine how you’ve been feeling for so, so long.
So discouraged, so confused, so completely helpless to do anything to effect any change!
That’s got to be the worst feeling.
And, I’m so sorry you’ve been having to deal with it~
Since first reading your post- I’ve been trying to remember to be thankful for just being able to eat.
I’m a quite overweight person, which is also discouraging.
However, I have so much to be thankful for- starting with being ABLE to just eat.

I appreciate that you shared your story so that we could include you in our prayers, but also so that I could be reminded to be thankful for the little things that are SO HUGE if they’re not working properly.

Thanks for your prayers.

It gets so easy to take things for granted. I used to be able to eat about anything with minimal problems, just a rash on occasion. This has gotten progressively worse over the years. Sometimes what makes it hard is smelling all the good food and remembering eating it and how it tastes and how good it would taste again....

But I do thank God that I live in a time and place where this can be dealt with and there is food accessible that I can eat.

And cutting wheat out of my diet has helped me lose a LOT of weight. And my cholesterol has dropped like a rock and my BP wonderful.

All in all, I’m really pretty healthy for my age- except that I can’t eat hardly anything.
