    I was shitting blood, turned grey, and fainted in public. I did go the hospital. They literally said “idk” and sent me home with a 4000$ bill. It kept happening.

    Went to a specialist that also resulted in a literal “idk”, and they wouldn’t clear a colonoscopy because I am “too young” and “don’t have a family history.” I was begging them to figure it out because this was a fucking nightmare. Nope. At least the bill was 400$ this time around.

    It kept happening for over a year at random. Actually terrifying.

    FINALLY, I put myself on a diet of oatmeal and water for a month and slowly introduced new foods every week. I was curious to know if maybe certain foods triggered it?

    Turns out: yes. I triggered a reaction using one of my favorite foods/ingredients. No idea why, but I had developed some kind of severe intolerance to it. And I had to figure it out myself.

            Ye! It’s very strange. I haven’t noticed an effect from standard white/yellow onions or anything. Just green onions.

            Ever since I cut them out of my diet, I’ve never had an issue since.

            I did love green onions… but I also love not shitting blood and passing out in front of strangers.

              I prefer passing out in front of strangers and then shitting blood personally. Try it in that order you may be able to enjoy green onions again!

        Probably chicken bones. I’ve heard of people who like eating them have serious issues.

        Do not eat bones. Seriously people, I can’t stress this enough!

          Tell that to my dog. Granted that sentient trash compacter eats anything and everything and somehow hasn’t done more than barf up a sock every once in a while

            Your dog may be fine 99% of the time but one day you could wind up with a very expensive vet bill!

              Yeah we’ve largely accepted that we will one day come home and find her stomach has finally met it’s match. With young kids in the house there’s only so much we can do to stop her from eating anything and everything she can

            My condolences! I love green onion! That’s a really weird food reaction!

          Not many chickens where he lives I’d guess. Maybe it’s fish bones? (His username is SharkEatingBreakfast… and Im explaining a dumb joke… Fuck)

          Aw man, one of my favorite parts of chicken wings is eating the marrow on the ends :(

            You can eat the cartilage and the marrow. That’s fine. Just don’t eat the bones. You can’t digest them and they’ll tear up your intestines!
