Domenica : Road to Recovery

You know when something is wrong and you can't wait to find out? That was me in the last two months of my pregnancy. It was not normally to be going to the bathroom as much as I was. Being pregnant, there was not a lot of tests I could do. Was it pregnancy? Would all this go away after I gave birth? While the frequency of symptoms went down after the birth of my son, they did not disappear, and I finally got into a long-awaited appointment with a GI doctor. The more research I did, the more convinced I became that I had Crohn's disease. When I saw the doctor, he suggested a colonoscopy. Crohn's disease would have in and of itself been a lot to deal with for the rest of my life. I had already started looking into ways of eating to help such a condition.
But it was not Crohn's. It was a ghost from my familial past. It was exactly what I had hoped it wasn't. What I had put out of my mind. It was FAP.
