I have had stomach issues my whole life. So far it’s been nothing serious, which I’m grateful for. But all last year I basically lived at the doctor thinking something was wrong. I thought it was my gall bladder. After months of testing and clearing things, this year I’m not even having the issues. So I have no idea! But I’m praising God that through the process, I learned to trust Him more! I’m praying for a good report and for peace through uncertain times, Amanda! 💛

Thoughts and prayer are with you Amanda. The colonoscopy is a very scary thought for a lot of people, but the worst part of it is the anticipation- I promise you that- having had one myself several years ago. There is no pain, before, during, or after, and you will sleep right through the procedure.

Don't apologize. You may have to stay on top of the doctors. Apparently, it's hard to find gut issues. TMI- I've had bleeding from my gut since 2018, three different times. My last bleeding issue was from July 2023 to January 2024. I've had 3 colonoscopies and they struggled to find anything. I just found out after this many years that I have poly-colonic diverticulosis, and it took this long for them to figure it out. I'm praying for you. Take care of yourself...yes!

Hey Amanda I’m sorry you’re going through all those health issues but thanks for being open and honest and hope at least one person will be proactive due to your testimony. I do have to say that I am kind of surprised that you’re wanting to read more secular books. I actually love that most of the books you read and review are Christian fiction. It helps me to choose wisely since I don’t read as much as you or others. I know the Holy Spirit had convicted you about the content in secular books before. However, I know ultimately it’s your choice to read whatever you please. I will still be here waiting and watching for those good Christian book catches lol
@BookLoverAmanda
4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I think there are still some great secular books out there, and I want to throw my opinion in with the content to let people know what’s in them that I read. There’s always a good hidden gem it seems like. But yes I’ll still be reading Christian books too.

The first one is Zenpep, it’s supposed to help if your pancreas doesn’t produce enough enzymes to digest your food. It’s helped me a bit. They aren’t sure what the issue I have is but she told me it couldn’t hurt. The other is called dicyclomine but I haven’t started it yet because I’ve been taking the zenpep samples. She said not to take it same time as other med. praying for you and her!!
