When Washington, D.C. woman Diana Zepeda suffered from stomach pains, she first thought it was food poisoning, possibly caused by her stressful job and her frequent lunches at food trucks. But after her symptoms worsened despite repeated visits to the doctor and a shift to a healthier diet, she got a dreaded diagnosis she wasn’t expecting — she had stage 4 colon cancer, and the disease had already spread to her liver.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Zepeda was an otherwise healthy young professional in Washington, D.C.’s finance industry, getting regular exercise and living an “active” lifestyle. Due to the long hours she often ended up working, she was forced to subsist on a “food truck diet,” which resulted in bouts of diarrhea that she chalked up to a simple stomach bug caused by her unhealthy diet.
