Soon after I was born, I had issues with digesting breast milk and was considered colicky. My parents switched to formula and had to try many different kinds in the hopes that one would work. Food was introduced one item at a time to see if it was going to agree with me. I would experience painful gas pains, cramps that would make me keel over for a couple minutes at a time.
This was my daily experience. I was hesitant to go to someone’s house because I felt embarrassed. Scared that someone might hear or smell what I did in the bathroom. I never talked to anyone about it because I was mortified to speak of ….POOP!
