Major TMI..... but i can finally digest my food!

OK so major TMI here. But ever since i was little i've always had problems digesting my food. I've been dependent on drinking an herbal laxative tea made from senna leaves since i was 13. I'm now 28 years old and a couple of months ago i noticed that i was running out of the tea ive been drinking (the kind i drank came from the Philippines). I really didn't know where to get the same kind here in the US. Anyway I stumbled upon the kind diet and read that eating clean and healthy foods will help me digest my food better. Well it got rid of my 15 year old problem. Amazing!!!!!!!! It's so strange that i don't have to rely on herbal teas anymore. I love it.
Also I have become quite dependent on Tums as well. On an average day I would eat about 6 tablets a day. So bad... but i had too. I went to my doctor and he just dismissed it as "well some people just get upset stomach and stomach pains more than other people." Ehhhhh wrong!!! I was eating the wrong types of food! Duh!!!!
Anyway I've been a Vegan/Superhero for 2 months now and I love it. I love the results (i've lost 3lbs too BTW) and how it has helped me overcome the issues I've had since I was a kid. I feel great and if only i knew about this earlier in my life....
BTW i have a blog and I've started blogging about my journey as a Vegan/Superhero. I'm also going to start blogging about how to eat vegan at a non vegan restaurant... like helpful guides and tips on how to eat while eating out.
Thanks for reading!!!! Thank you Alicia for writing this book!!!

Hi Naomi!
I just checked out your blog, bookmarked it and can't wait to read more!
I have all kinds of weird health issues the doctors "can't figure out." So they just prescribe meds to cover up the symptoms. I am really working on healing naturally with food. I hope to have beautiful results like yours!
Peace and great health!

Oh thank you so much Cassi!!! Thanks for checkin out my blog too. Can you believe the nerve of those doctors? hahah! seriously though i mean really.... telling a patient that. Im not comfortable taking medications... but i had no other choice. I had really bad acid problems in my stomach. The other day i was talking to my husband and we both realized that i havent been complaining about stomach issues. even he's convinced!!!
im hoping you get amazing results as well. im sure you will!!
Omg...me too! I have been dependant on herbal laxitives and teas to "go" at all since being a teenager. ;)
I am happy to report that since starting the kind diet 3 weeks ago I have gone every single day with no problems or assistance at all! It is the bestest feeling ever! And no one would really understand unless you've been in our shoes. lol But, isnt it amazing? I look forward to reading your blog, too! Im always looking for ways to eat this way while dining out. Thanks for writing this...and Im with you in thanking Alicia for writing this book...it is truly changing my life as well and I am so happy and loving it!!! :)
