To say I have medical problems would be an understatement. Since birth I've had issues with my ears and digestive system. To date I've had multiple sets of tubes in both ears and 2 complete graphed eardrums.
I have issues where I'm either constipated or very not constipated. I'm not diagnosed as having ibs (but this is important to know for this next part). I also have a form of syncope where I pass out and go into a convulsion. I fell one time face first and broke my nose. I get a really good warning and when I feel it coming on I don't drive. In changing my diet, I haven't had an episode in over 15 months.
Due to the syncope issues, I've hit my head a few times. They tested me 3 major times in my life. Once when I was 5 and had my first episode while mom was cleaning my little sister's belly button that still had the cord attached. I had another series of tests just after high school, and the last set of tests were done in 2012. The last set of testing were conducted by the top neurologist and cardiologist of USF / Tampa. My heart is in perfect working order, the EEG showed no signs of epilepsy. The MRI indicated that I have a low cerebellum tonsil (bottom nugget of my brain hangs low and pushes on my brain stem, this is my migraine problem). The only thing they could tell me is that 25% of women pass out for no good reason, and I'm one of them.
One of the last issues I have is I have an issue keeping my food down. If something is too oily, like clockwork, in 4 hours it's coming back up. I'm clearly not anorexic. This is the main start of my 2 years of research to different foods I'm able to eat and what I'm not. This isn't just a diet for me. This is eating clean and healthy to the point I'm not getting sick.
