Phew!!! That's good news Jessica! Could it have been allergy related? I'm allergic to lots of foods and was having similar symptoms. ER, night in the hospital, US, X-rays, coloscopy, the works. And then, I realized it could be my diet. So I eliminated rice, the last grain I was able to eat, and felt sooo much better. As soon as I reintroduce rice, I get symptoms again. Feeling bloated, constipated, run down, tired, etc.

So it may have been the ragweed exacerbated by rads. Who knows?
May the GH eradicate all cancer cells and may you see many ragweed seasons without too much discomfort.

Hugs

Jacqueline
