Alright, here’s the deal.
damage to the intestinal lining
a virus: basically bacteria in my stomach

At least, that’s what the doctors told me.
When things get bad and I actually have diarrhea,
I’m hitting the bathroom maybe two or three times a day.
Yesterday and today, though, it's just once a day. :S
It isn't even about what I eat. It just happens.
I wouldn't say I'm undereating, I just stick to a few specific foods.
Like, I don't eat much produce or anything.
I eat plenty, just nothing diverse.

I took a stool sample for testing and they found that bacteria in my stomach.
That part is over (or so they claim).

Hey everyone.

Alright, I've got a problem.
I'm 16, living out near Savannah.
I'm a junior in high school.
About a year ago—back in September—I dealt with some nausea that lasted a few days, and I once...
Passed out and ended up with a concussion from the impact. Great start to the day.
Wall. :S Well, everything went fine.
Back in April, I picked up some nasty stomach bug.
Doctors keep telling me it’s behind me. Personally? I still don't feel right.
Sometimes my stomach just cramps up, but about 80% of the time it ends in diarrhea. Some days I’m running to the bathroom multiple times in a row. It’s honestly awful.
I can't tell if this is actually happening or if I'm just losing my mind.
The mere thought of going anywhere without knowing exactly where the restroom is gives me a genuine sense of dread.
Because out of nowhere, my body just decides it's time for an emergency bathroom break. Great. :S:S:S
I have to take the bus to school, and honestly, there are times when I get pretty anxious about it. It happens almost every single day.
I’m a little nervous about it, but honestly, when things take a turn for the worse, it gets pretty grim.
I don't do school field trips, I don't go out on the town with friends—honestly, I just don't go anywhere.
I’m a little worried it might mess with my stomach or send me running for the restroom.
I don't really do variety when it comes to food. And dairy? Forget about it. One thought of milk and I'm done.
Maybe it’s the food?

I could really use some help here if anyone's available.
I can't go on living like this. Seriously.
I'm heading to Indianapolis for some checkups.
The doctors over there are completely useless. Honestly, it’s a disaster. And they’re rude, too—though I guess there are a couple of exceptions to that rule.

Thanks a ton!
Let me know if I missed anything and I'll add it in.
