“The first six months after diagnosis I spent in self-pity, crying and being depressed because I wasn’t able to eat everything I loved.”

Chelsey

“Reassuring the doctors that no, I’m not an addict. I’m not an alcoholic. Constantly begging to be taken seriously by doctors who wrote me off is one of the things that haunt me to this day.”

Ellen

“She often had painful episodes when her pediatrician’s office was closed, so we ended up in after hours care or urgent care several times. They all prescribed Miralax and sent us on our way.”
