I was shitting blood, turned grey, and fainted in public. I did go the hospital. They literally said "idk" and sent me home with a 4000$ bill. It kept happening.
Went to a specialist that also resulted in a literal "idk", and they wouldn't clear a colonoscopy because I am "too young" and "don't have a family history." I was begging them to figure it out because this was a fucking nightmare. Nope. At least the bill was 400$ this time around.
It kept happening for over a year at random. Actually terrifying.
FINALLY, I put myself on a diet of oatmeal and water for a month and slowly introduced new foods every week. I was curious to know if maybe certain foods triggered it?
Turns out: yes. I triggered a reaction using one of my favorite foods/ingredients. No idea why, but I had developed some kind of severe intolerance to it. And I had to figure it out myself.
You can't just not say what it was
It was definitely something weird that everyone would tell them was the obvious thing.
"I just like dipping my fries in crude oil. What of it?"
"I had recently switched from salt on my tomatoes to crushed glass for the extra crunch."
