It started with seeing a naturopath, and I’ll share with you what I have learned personally that helped my gut issues and what I have learned professionally as well. While hormone birth control helped to reduce the menstrual cramps, my gut continued to be a regular challenge to getting through days of college, graduate school, and workdays for about 2 decades before I finally started finding things that made a major difference. There were trips to urgent care, CT scans at the ER, only to be told I didn’t have appendicitis and to go home and stop being constipated. I’ll never forget that time my boyfriend (now husband) drove me back to my dorm on the back of his borrowed scooter moped thing while I cried into his back and he feeling helpless kept saying “I’m sorry, I’m sorry”.Ī few years later as a newlywed, I began having painful abdominal pains and what I called “gut attacks”. And for anyone who has experienced cramps to this degree, they will probably remember stories vividly with how bad things got. Just when I thought one issue was enough, I found myself struggling with TWO! My first hellish menstrual cramps started my freshman year in college.
