Dealing with the Music
I’m a singer, songwriter, musician, actor, and America’s Authentic Pop Princess. Since my first #1 hit, “Silly Beat,” lit up the Billboard Sizzling 100 again in 1987, I’ve sang, danced, and carried out for tens of millions and tens of millions of individuals around the globe, and crossed paths with fellow entertainers like Michael Jackson, New Youngsters on the Block, and Elton John. I had all the things I might have ever dreamed of. However on the within, I used to be working myself into the bottom.
Beneath the glitz and glam of my popstar picture, I’ve struggled with my well being. Like lots of you, I’ve handled bloating, mind fog, and full exhaustion. And it’s disempowering.
I used to be coping with the extreme stress to look a sure approach, stress to by no means say no, stress to be good all whereas coping with bloating, stomachaches, and my mind was all the time foggy. I used to be consuming all the things we’re informed we must always eat, however I felt terrible. I felt like my physique was polluting itself.
So that you see, carrying all these blazers wasn’t only a style assertion…typically they had been hiding my bloated stomach. I keep in mind one evening placing on my costume to carry out on Broadway, and I used to be so bloated I couldn’t even zip it up. We pushed, we pulled, we huffed, we stuffed. It was so wild. I used to be in a lot discomfort, I couldn’t go on stage that evening. I used to be devastated.

As a performer, my physique is my instrument. And when it isn’t at its finest, the music is off. I simply stored saying, ‘This isn’t my life. This may’t be my life.’
My lifelong, secret battle with my digestion started as younger as 8-years-old. I keep in mind my mother taking me to the physician as a result of I used to be having mysterious abdomen aches and my mother asking the physician, “Why does she seem like a little bit pregnant girl?” The physician, and I’ll always remember this, might hear the grumbling in my stomach and stated, “It appears like a symphony in there.” (And never a reasonably one.)
I went to physician after physician, however I might by no means get a long-term resolution — simply bandaids that had been solely non permanent. Nobody might work out what was flawed with me. I refused to simply accept this was my actuality. Deep down in my intestine – pun meant – I knew one thing else was occurring and it wasn’t as a result of I used to be getting older or as a result of I sometimes handled myself to an almond croissant.
