Right before someone finally figured out what was going on with her, one doctor told her that her symptoms did add up to an answer: everything was just in her head and she was making it up.
Well, that doctor couldn’t have been more wrong. After suffering through months of worrying symptoms, Kalista got to the bottom of everything when she visited a holistic doctor.

This doctor told Kalista she would be running a food sensitivity test along with a GI map, and although Kalista had to wait about a month to get the results, it was definitely worth the wait.
The tests the holistic doctor ran showed that Kalista’s gut was leaking, she had small intestine bacterial overgrowth, celiac disease, and an intolerance to a bunch of foods, including dairy, rice, potatoes, and broccoli.
“To say I’m relieved to finally have an answer & close the mystery would be an understatement,” Kalista wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve prayed for this moment for months. While to some, it’s not great news- it is to me. Nothing I’m diagnosed with is “unfixable”.”
She thanked everyone who had sent her messages and support, saying that’s what inspired her to keep pushing for answers and an official diagnosis.
“From the days I felt like giving up, to the doctors dismissing me- I would read my DMs and remember that fighting is so so worth it- because bloating (something so many women deal with) SHOULD not be dismissed,” Kalista said.
It’s incredible that Kalista was able to persevere and not give up in her quest for answers, and now she is focused on her healing process.
