When Sweet Means Stomach Pain

I used to think sugar was just a craving, something I could burn off later. But it’s 2 a.m. and I’m curled up, clutching my stomach, replaying every bite of cake from earlier. I scroll through my phone, searching for answers, for someone to tell me it’s not my fault. Maybe it’s bacteria, maybe it’s just me. I keep reading about gut health, but all I feel is guilt and regret. I wish I could enjoy dessert without wondering if I’ll pay for it all night. But here I am, counting symptoms instead of calories, wishing my body would just let me be. #FoodGuilt #GutHealthAnxiety #OneBiteAtATime #Health #Diet
