Do you guys think it’s possible to be healthy without an appendix? Is there anyone here that is still healthy without one?
I can be quite the hypochondriac and have been dealing with a variety of health issues for a long time. I’ve made some very bad mistakes in terms of trusting professionals (like agreeing to take accutane- NEVER DO THIS) and something I’ve been feeling immense regret over lately is allowing my appendix to be removed. I’m having a lot of negative thoughts about how it will not be possible to be healthy again without one, how getting it removed is going to cause me to have permanent SIBO and mild colitis etc. in hindsight I didn’t know enough at the time and don’t think it was necessary.
Can anyone try to give me some help to the contrary or let me know if you are still able to thrive without one because I have been feeling very down about this lately with the amount of health issues I’ve been trying to overcome. I’m just feeling guilt like I permanently butchered myself and caused my own problems. Any information about how the colon can adapt without it? Please anything to make me feel better right now would help
