日記75 : Early Diagnosis

Yesterday, I suffered from stomach pain and I wrote a rough description of my symptoms in an effort to stick to my routine. The day before yesterday, I wrote about my cooking, so it may look like I damaged myself with my bad cooking, but I believe that is not the case.
Now my stomach calmed down, and today I am enjoying eating as usual. However, I think I may need to consult a doctor because this sometimes happens to me.

Actually, I have visited some clinics for my stomach issues several times, but each time no specific problems were found, and I just got some laxatives (Of course, I searched for this word to write this article. I don’t think I will remember it tomorrow).

Recently, especially on the internet, there is a consensus that “you should go to a doctor as soon as possible if you feel something different with your body.” I think this is correct and important to protect our lives, but a decade ago it was not so common to go to the hospital even for minor symptoms. Therefore, especially in some areas, doctors may be surprised and laugh at you for taking your small physical changes so seriously.

Returning to my own story, writing this made me realize the importance of early diagnosis, so I will go to the hospital before long. However, I am afraid that they will just tell me to stop having caffeine and gluten, because that is impossible.
