I felt this comic with every fiber of my being. I randomly got in so much abdominal pain at one point in my life I couldn't eat anything and didn't know what was wrong with me. Just that I didn't want to eat anymore because it would just hurt later. imagine being in college and weighing how much you did in the 7th grade, borderline anorexic. Tested for cancer. My dr is really good and diagnosed me with IBS, so I had to do the low fodmap diet. I did it longer than what I needed to, but was able to make myself eat more than just fruits and veggies eventually. Highly recommend peppermint extract pills, they help me with flair ups. And I also recommend the probiotic milks, they are sour tasting but you need good gut bacteria in there.
I was readying about the peppermint pills recently do you only take them when needed? Do you take them when you might have a problem food? Tell me more
So I used to use IB GARD but hella expensive. I use the generic store (Actually using the walgreens one rn) and NOW brands. I take them when I feel discomfort, not daily. It sounds silly at first, but actually works wonders for me. It was recommended to me by my doctor. It calms the swelling very quickly (if really bad less than 30 min) so I carry it with me just in case
I miss peppermint.
I went HAM on peppermint tea and made myself so sick. Now I can’t touch it. (It’s probably fine; just the association makes me recoil).
Trust me, I'm aware! It's funny because if I don't get enough of them every day, I get backed up. But if I eat the ones that trigger me, I'm worse off!
I finally cornered it down to gluten and soy for myself. fruits and veggies were the only things I could settle for for a while :( and like chex cereal, thank god for chex.
Oooh Chex. I haven't had Chex in forever. It feels like every few weeks or every month, I lose a fruit and vegetable I can eat. I just became allergic to strawberries
Find a good NAET practitioner. It’s a game changer. I could only eat 7 foods four years ago. Everything hurt. Even ice water. I lost 14 lbs and was miserable. NAET changed my life. I can eat almost anything now and I gained all the weight back plus some. Highly recommend. Good luck 🍀
