Long term gastric issue
I am a 5’3 137 lbs south asian young adult now but i still have this issue and I’ve had it for as long as I can remember, which is when I was 6. I’ve had this problem for over a decade and don’t know why I have it but I hate it so much and I’m so desperate to get rid out it. It happens all the time like it’s unpredictable too, sometimes it happens like two times in one day sometimes it happens like once every four minutes. I don’t know if it’s because of how much I weigh or what. It’s worse when I’m in a public setting or like when I’m with someone like I am really paranoid as a person and most of my embarrassing moments have been in public like it’s been so bad when I’m like around somebody, you know what I mean? my main diet for years is rice and curry cause that’s all I know how to make and that’s all I’ve really eaten like my whole life like I love rice McCurry. and I do have problems with eating like I binge eat a lot. I eat when I’m bored I eat when I’m stressed. My mom’s method of cheering me up as a kid was just to feed me. She didn’t really understand mental health. I have mentioned this to my mom and my friends before, but they just brushed it off as something normal, but I don’t see it as something normal cause it really does affect me every day. It affects my confidence like it affects the people around me and I don’t think it’s my hygiene cause I shower like every day and I wash like everything like I wash my private parts too. I wash my ass like come on. like I get called smelly all the time and it feels like I can’t even be in public like and it smells so bad. I can’t even blame anybody but like I genuinely can’t stop it like it’s so uncomfortable and it’s almost painful like I’d rather have period cramps than this and it always feels like I have bubble guts all the time like even when I can excuse myself to the bathroom I’ll still like need to fart right after leaving the bathroom like it just doesn’t stop and honestly, I’ve tried to like mention it subtly but like I’m too embarrassed and I get really scared and nervous and as a kid, I’ve never mentioned it because my doctor was like an old Indian dude and honestly, I didn’t know how to like tell him and I would just pray it will go away or like I just tell myself that it’s just something I ate, but it still hasn’t gone away and I don’t know. I just don’t know what to do or how to talk about it cause I feel stupid for never bringing it up, but I want to like still live my life but like without this problem, I don’t wanna die with this problem. If anyone’s a doctor or if anyone has any advice, please let me know.
Also, can you tell I’m using the voice thing cause I’m too lazy to type lol. if there’s like a lot of grammar mistakes you don’t understand just let me know or like try your best to get around it.
