The last one I found her passed out on the bathroom floor, rushed her to the ER and several tests, confused doctors and finally a CT scan they said it was her appendix. The pain presented in her stomach. The surgeon pressed on her appendix and asked her if it hurt there, she said a bit, but her stomach hurt worse. The surgeon said that many doctors do not believe that chronic appendicitis exists, but he said that proof will be after her appendix is gone. No more appendix and she is a very active, healthy, cross-fit athlete. Now she can eat all the foods and she is THRILLED!

Wow well I'm glad she is ok now.
