What was it like before you came in to see us?
I love to say that before I came in, I felt pretty healthy. I watched my diet by eating the appropriate amount of calories I needed to maintain my healthy weight. I would eat only a small dessert after a full day of eating well. I worked out 4-5 times per week with cardio and weights. I thought I was doing really well. The only symptom at the time that I noticed was that I was very forgetful at the age of 30. I was constantly gassy and bloated, “blurby stomach” which I figured was just a normal occurrence with getting older. I wanted to think that my forgetfulness was getting more frequent. This is when I decided to see Dr. Marty.
How is it now?
Now I feel so much better! I found out that I have an intolerance to wheat. When I eat wheat I get my old symptoms of bloated, and gassiness back! When I changed my diet, I started to remember things. Now I’m the person reminding others. My skin is better and cleaner! I used to get acne cysts on my chin and I don’t get them anymore. I have a much better understanding of my body and how it reacts to things I eat. Though my diet is improved greatly, I realize I am still a work in progress and will continue to make small changes to continue making it better!
