Melissa Gonzalez has always made another call and has a meeting to attend or travel.
New Jersey strategists attended the weekend resort in the fall of 2022 and found out that they did not feel like themselves.
During retreat, she met a whole nutritionist who suggested swaps, such as cutting dairy products and reducing fat intake. She also urged Gonzalez to meet a doctor for a series of blood tests to find infections or chronic diseases.
But for several months, the blood work command continued to sitting at Gonzalez’s desk and spending time.
The 48 -year -old mother now told Daily Mail: ‘For any reason it did not create my top priority.’
Over 2023, Gonzalez became more and more summarized and moved through her days of ‘like a molar’. Her belly will also swell more and more, and she will go for more than a week without intestinal movement.
That year approached, and Gonzalez promised to start a health challenge to improve his intestinal health with his family and friends on January 10, 2024.
But when January 10 came, she started traveling in Seattle and woke up with extreme abdominal pain in the middle.
Melissa Gonzalez, a 48 -year -old strategist in New Jersey, ignored the symptoms of intestinal clogging for about a year before rushing to a hospital.
Gonzalez found that her husband and eight -year -old daughter ran to the hospital nearly 3,000 miles away, and that the doctors were twisted with 360 degrees with emergency surgery.
About a year after the symptoms began, she was diagnosed with CECAL VOLVULUS, a rare type of closed, which occurred when CECUM, a cecum between the small intestine and the colon, was separated from the abdominal wall and twisting the twist itself.
Symptoms can be difficult to diagnose because it imitates general conditions such as fatigue, gas passing and bloating, gas passing problems, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Gonzalez said: I am a very lively person. My calm is the normal of most people.
‘I was just not myself. It took too much time to feel that lively self. ‘
The condition may not be detected for several months or years. Blood flow to the colon gradually blocks, dying tissues and tears form in the barrier. If the status progresses, the estimated mortality rate is about 40 %.
CECAL Volvulus has about 3 to 7 million people per 1 million per year.
Gonzalez discovered her Ray Natal bottle with fatigue and bloating, and reacted to cold or stress so that the end became white or blue.
She said: ‘I spent Raynaud for a lifetime, but for that year I didn’t have to hierarize so much. It was always turning blue like hands, feet and lips, so I was able to go out in winter. It was painful. ‘
The intestinal closure can cause a wide range of inflammatory reactions, causing symptoms of raynaud. Obstacles may also have caused flare by contracting blood vessels elsewhere in Gonzalez’s body.
When Gonzales arrived at the hospital, doctors were no longer waiting for surgery, leading to a hemorrhage shock, the most severe stage of sepsis.
Gonzalez, depicted in NASDAQ’s New York City advertisement, says to Daily Mail is not a priority in busy jobs and lifestyles.
The doctors were able to eliminate blockage, but they had to take out the parts from the colon and re -connect the rest of the part of her digestive system to work properly. Suddenly, always active Gonzalez had to walk across the room and come back to eat most of the food.
She said: ‘My body had to learn how to re -work basically.’
Doctors are not sure why they have accurately caused Gonzales’ Sekal Volver Ruth, but I simply think she is simply a bad luck.
‘We think that is one -time. Thankfully she said.
In some cases, obstacles, such as CECAL Volvulus, are associated with low room pressure on the plane. As the plane climbs in the air, the low pressure inside the room may cause gas to be trapped in the GI track.
expert Internet journal of family practice Airlines travel can extend up to 30 %.
Gonzalez’s doctors did not say that travel could cause her disability, but it was often flying at the time, which can increase her danger.
Infections, pelvic tumors, coughs and pregnancy are also found to increase the risk. Gonzalez had no one of the previous three risk factors, but he has one daughter.
Gonzalez was hospitalized for a week after surgery and stayed in Seattle for two weeks. Doctors wanted to lower the risk of blood clots on the plane.

Gonzalez takes pictures in the hospital with her daughter. She spent a week at the hospital and recovered from the surgery for about three months.
Three weeks after surgery, Gonzalez’s diet consists of ‘the softest things you can eat’, including white bread, pasta, rice and potatoes.
Dairy products such as broccoli and kale, crucifixion and vegetables, fried foods and apple sauce are more difficult to digest due to high fiber and fat content, and Gonzalez needed low -fat and low -fat foods to avoid tensioning the digestive system.
Even now, she avoids crucifixion and vegetables due to fiber and buttery fat. ‘I miss the salad, but I can’t do it.’
‘I will go back completely when my body has been a trial and error for a few months, or when I eat something wrong. I would have suffered terrible pain and cramps and entered the couch until the sofa passed. ‘She added.
She also fell less than 100 pounds because she was able to eat only a small amount of food at once and is still trying to restore lost weight. In addition, she had to learn how to walk because of intense pain and the incision of abdomen.
Gonzalez now needs to be tested every year to find excessive fat in her intestine. It is an enzyme that can know the inflammation of the signal and digestive tract that the body does not absorb nutrients properly.
Gonzalez flew again after surgery, flew back to repair the CECAL Volvulus, and then took a picture. She has since written books from other women who have suffered health problems similar to her experience.
After recovering from Cecal Volvulus, Gonzalez gained her experience and wrote a new book. Purpose Pivot: A way of acting vulnerability and intuition for dynamic leadersIt came out on September 30.
In this book, she interviewed other women who had a similar health frustration for her experience.
She said she said that women in this book on this website have a common thread. They were ‘listening’ the signs of the body’s problems, but they did not actually listen.
Gonzalez said: It seems very clear, but the facts of the problem are that most of us do not listen and hear it because our bodies will tell us. ‘
‘Well -being cannot be an incidental project.’
