I have been battling DGBI for 3 years but found out a year ago and my dr put me on leave for a year. I have no income and 2 kids. I could really use help until I get approved for disability because unfortunately, this is disability that is for life DGBI stands for diagnosis of gut and brain interaction which basically means every time I eat my brain doesn’t tell my stomach how to digest my food so it comes right back up.. it comes out of nowhere and most of the times I can’t even make it to a bathroom I went from 137 pounds to 94. since I’m constantly throwing up, I also developed SMAS which I have to see a vascular surgeon for it’s from throwing up so much the fat layer between your arteries and your vessels are completely gone so blood is restricting to the lower half of my body because of the arteries being pressed on by the vessels. I need surgery to put the fat back  there. Somedays I am so fragile cause I can’t eat for days because it’s not worth the pain of being sick. Most days I have to be in bed. It’s hard to be a parent when you are so weak you can’t take care of yourself. I really didn’t want to put my business out here, but I don’t know what else to do anymore my car engine also blew so I owe a bunch of money on a car that doesn’t drive which I paid for $420 for two years while it sat on my driveway and didn’t drive after I got it fixed four times so I have debt and medical bills and kids to take care of if anyone can help or share it would be greatly appreciated. I also have stage four endometriosis and I am supposed to get a hysterectomy, but it’s on pause when it was supposed to be in December because of all my other issues especially the restricted blood flow I keep falling over from, TIA
