Hook

Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
I want to address something because I keep saying the same comment over and over again and I wish people would have a little more compassion and a lot more discernment. When I share my story on this app, especially something as personal as having ulcerative colitis, going through all the surgeries that I went through and now living with a permanent ostomy. Please understand that you are only seeing a very small part of my story. You don't get to diagnose me from the comments section. You don't get to tell me why my body failed. You don't get to reduce 20 years of my medical journey down to you should have eaten better or you did this to yourself. You don't know what happened. I need people to understand something. I know my body, I know my story. I know what I have endured. I also know why you see is because of our United States government. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and I fought this disease for years. I went through a total colectomy and now I have a permanent ostomy. And that is because I was born on a military base that had toxic water. I don't share that often on this app because I'm still in the middle of a lawsuit. There are things in my life and my health journey that go far beyond food choice and lifestyle. Y'all have got to do better. What I need people to do is stop trying to dissect my pain and start listening to the message I'm trying to tell y'all, okay? If you see blood in your poop, you need to go to the doctor. Period. My platform is not here so that you guys can come and blame me as the patient. I'm here to advocate and to remind people that chronic illness can happen to anyone. You cannot get in my comment section and tell me it is my fault that I'm living with this permanent ostomy. Before you comment on my medical journey, choose compassion. Choose humility. Choose to learn before you speak. God. I'm not here because I was eating bad. I have this bad because our government lied and tried to cover it up. That's why. Now that we've cleared the air, will you go back and watch this video and receive the message? Thank you.
