QUESTION: What were some early signs of this for you? How did you feel?

BUDDY: Well, I knew going to the bathroom as much as I did- that wasn't right. And every once in a while I was eating something and my stomach would just feel like someone punched me, and I'd be bending over and like, "ow!" because it just hurt a lot. Like I'd get a cramp, and I'm like, "What did I do to get that?" Or I'd go to the bathroom- I went to the bathroom a lot . At one point I added up how many times I went to the bathroom- I went to the bathroom twelve times in one day. People probably don't go to the bathroom that many times in a month.
