Happy New Year! I had a fun holiday but my mom has noticed that my behavior has changed a bit this past month. I’ve been crying and yelling at times and she thinks it is because I am having belly pains. I do have a history of gastrointestinal issues but they have never caused me to yell and cry.   My mom really wishes I could talk and let her know what is causing my distress.

Tomorrow I’m having blood work done, and later this month I am scheduled to see my GI doctor.
