this spring has been wonderful: so many things on my “summer do” list have already been crossed off..i love when that happens. i have a feeling it’s going to be a great summer.

today, i found out that i do not have celiac disease..meaning, i have restricted myself from eating delicious goodness for over a year and these tiny sacrifices could be in vain. and the worst part is, my stomach is still in abnormal amounts of pain. i need to get to the bottom of this, and soon. not that i want to self-diagnose (although it’s so easy to do), here are some possibilities of what could be going on in my tummy: 

• gluten-intolerance (vs. full celiac disease)
• Chron’s disease
• irritable bowel syndrome
• good old sensitive digestive system

so dear tummy, please tell me why you’re so sad.

hoy me siento confundido y frustrado porque mi estomago es un misterio!

sincerely, steph.
