“Have you taken any slimming pills?”
… Excuse me, Doctor? Of course not! I'm not looking to slim down at all in the first place and everyone knows slimming pills aren't effective and cost saving.
Perhaps you guys are a little lost. Let’s back track to the beginning:
A few days ago, I started feeling bloated and a sense of fullness which resulted in me not eating much (I eat according to my hunger pangs, not the clock). I didn’t think much about it. But today, all of a sudden after a heavy lunch, a sudden clenching pain in my stomach had me doubled over, gasping for pain. I think I shocked my poor mother.
But hell, the pain! It feels like I had a durian in my stomach. I was sweating buckets and turning green. You think I could have blended in with the grass downstairs. I was even trying to induce vomit just to get rid of whatever’s in my stomach causing the pain, as much as I know it’s pointless because there’s NOTHING in there currently. After all, it’s 4 hours after lunch. All the food’s digested and already in my small intestine. But when you’re in serious pain, you don’t care how unreasonable your actions are. And I have a low tolerance for pain.
When I recovered slightly from the pain, Mum brought me to a 24hrs clinic, where a (rather) young doctor in his mid 30s was on duty. That’s when after some checking, he asked me about taking slimming pills, leading to my current predicament.
“Nope. Doc. Does green tea count?” (Note the Sarcasm)
A snort is my only answer before he diagnosed me with…
Gastritis.
For those who don’t know, Gastritis refers to the inflammation of the gastric mucous layer lining the stomach. Normally, it’s strong enough to withstand the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. But occasionally, it can get irritated and in turn, inflamed.
A common illness, but seriously, I thought I died and gone to hell.
From the way members in online forums described, it’s like it’s a permanent thing. *GASP* Does this mean that I will not be able to eat spicy food? Or fried food? Am I condemned to eating only light foods that are easily digestible? Horrors!
This will be a good way to slim down but I’m NOT looking to slim down in the first place! I’m young! I need my junk food. T_T
Damn it all…
