Maybe he has the famous Babe Ruth, “bellyache heard round the world syndrome.” From his 1925 season.

It’s time to go gluten free for a few months (maybe forever). It worked for Timmy Curran in the surf world and now has him back competing after being out for a long time.

Seems like a rather run of the mill diagnosis considering how long he’s had the problem and how many doctors he’s been too. The Mariners doctors apparently didn’t finish anywhere near the top of their class.

There’s more to it than simply irritable bowel syndrome. He must have some serious food issues………..that he still is probably not aware of.

Not fun. Hope he finds the right doctor and nutritionist.

The poor kid has what is likely to be an ongoing, chronic, painful condition that he will probably be stuck with for the rest of his life. I wouldn’t wish this on any one. Depending on symptoms (and its a laundry list comprised of many contradicting, competing, and non-specific symptoms) he could take over George ‘Poopy Pants’ Brett’s role as guy with the most embarrassing story. oy, oy, oy…
