VVS from gastrointestinal distress, has anyone fixed it

I've had VVS since 2020 but only got it on the first day of my period due to prostaglandins. Since 2023 I've had a sensitivity to mint and can't have it anymore. It took me a while to deduce this. I experienced VVS from drinking mint tea at the end of 2025.

Recently, I've started intermittent fasting to lose weight and moved to another part of my state. I'm experiencing VVS pretty often. It's taking over my life and I keep getting nauseous and faint just while doing normal stuff like driving. I know that my stomach isn't agreeing with me. But I don't know why. I don't know what my triggers are besides mint. I feel like I'm staving off an episode by taking pepto bismol. This has been going on for the past 2 months and just keeps coming back.

I'm not sure what else to try. Not everyone with stomach problems has VVS so why is it becoming this bad?

Does she seem pregnant?

I've been feeding this stray for a week and she's gotten less skittish around me. Before I started feeding her, I saw her and was like "oh she looks pregnant". She's very small and is about 6 months old. Her tummy is kind of big compared to the rest of her and I wouldn't be surprised if she had worms. Lately she's been laying down in front of me. I'm not sure if she's comfy or is just pregnant and tired.

Creamsicle girl with airplane ears

She loves her churu and I gave her some friskies today. She loves churu so much that I can almost pet her 😳 I love her. I've never met a stray that hissed when pet before. I'm hoping I can catch her one day and take her to the shelter. I think she's almost old enough to go into heat, so I'm hoping I can catch her before then!

I started feeding a stray. Her temporary name is Lil Bruh

Baby is so scared but so sweet. Yesterday I put my hand near her and got a little scratch. Today I put my hand near her and got a paw (no claws) and a little hiss! That is progress ❤️
