Description: After going through a challenging divorce and relocating cross country, Chris was struggling with depression and anxiety. For a while, he simply ignored his GI symptoms as they progressively got worse. His bowel issues were soon preventing him from living the life he loved: hiking, attending concerts, and participating in activities with his kids. The situation deteriorated to the point where he had to be rushed to the ER multiple times, sure he was having a heart attack. However, the reality was far more complex. *  *  *  *  *  * ****** SPOILER ALERT BELOW ****** To find out more about Alpha-gal syndrome, you can check out the CDC’s website at CDC.gov or check out AlphaGalInformation.org. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
