Starting FODMAP

[mike_sweden]

i would say the warmer temp and open windows

[BoneBroth]

If we could take that in a pill it would be great. I've taken vitamin D pill like crazy and still havn't felt near as much improvements as when I had summer holliday. Now its summer, its super hot and sun every day and and I'm out alot, but I dont have vacation so I stay where I use to stay and work every day (with the everyday stress). It must be the vacation factor too. Does anyone else feel the same? What about the open windows Mike, fresh air?

i recently ate gluten and lactose on new job for a week and my immune system completely disappeared, got a severe cold flu and will be bed laying for a week or so

Do you experience any increase in headache or skin redness anyware on your body at the same time?

i experience loss of energy uptake, fatigue, dry skin... as consequence

not sure about headache and skin redness, will think about it

[mike_sweden]

Bonebroth's SIBO test could be a potential part of the puzzle. He is a methane breather when ingesting lactulose (don't confuse it with lactose). https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=2684.msg35348#msg35348

SIBO directly causes it or it is 1 or it's result of root cause or 1 of causes?

That needs to be researched. Conditions that alter GI motility could lead to SIBO. Testing is simple, non-invasive and relatively cheap. SIBO poll: https://poiscenter.com/forums/index.php?topic=3385.0

i think i have the ibs-c version, that is very low motility and reoccurring constipation, this makes me severely tired at times when the motility drops, i get totally drained on energy, if i take something that speeds up the motility then my energy levels rise sharply

having failed to hold my new job due to pois i now have a severe depression

wonder what to do

[BoneBroth]

Can you make your doctor make you sick leave?

Having a nervous breakdown caused by my parents has messed up my stomach. Will take some time to repair. Stress has significant impact on my digestion.

[BoneBroth]

Go easy on your stommach when your in a stressed period. I think stress and pois cause your intestins to be leak. I've been advised to eat for breakfast milletflake porridge with 1 table spoon coconut oil /ghee and 1/2 tablespoon of chia/psyllium with some oat- or almondmilk and some rasberry. And for lunch only vegetable soup of root vegetables. I also put in some collagen peptides and a spice measure coral calk. This diet dont give me skin rashes.

i have received information that i have proven allergies against, in swedish (timotej, kvalster), timothy and mite.

so this means i have cross allergies to consider. that is tomatoes and nuts and so on.

the investigation goes on...

[mike_sweden]

Will start complementing diet with gluten-free oatmeal porridge every morning
for fiber intake and better digestion

[mike_sweden]

I will also restart use of Swedish product Referm which seems to work quite good.

I have found a diet that puts my IBS-D into full remission. It's the SCD diet. It's basically meat, fruit, non-starchy vegetables, homemade yogurt (I use goat milk to make this because I can't tolerate cow dairy), and honey for sweetener. All my intestinal pain and loose stools stop with this diet. I believe I have a lot of healing to do with my gut though. As for POIS it's too early to say but I've had some mild improvement so far. I like the diet because unlike carnivore or keto I don't feel like I'm missing out on important nutrients.

when i get nervous i get some extreme production of saliva, this completely throws my digestion off

any thoughts on how to solve this, how can saliva wreck havoc on the digestion so much?

i know i swallow some air when there is saliva but it really ruins my digestion.

[mike_sweden]

I seem to be allergic to potato peelings, will cut down on it.

Food allergies investigation carries on...
