Please tell me you’re fat. Bad things only happen to fat people right?

Hey bud, similar situation here. What they don't tell you is that you can power through it.

This requires an iron will. You will want it to stop, but you gotta keep going.

>>13202474
>> fall in love with cooking and food
>> develop lots of hobbies related to food and cooking
it's implied in OP

>>13202474
No. I workout 2 hours a day mon-fri, and have good muscle definition. I’m not super shredded but I’m certainly not overweight.

>>13202486
I miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe.

>>13202461
You don't do FODMAP for the rest of your life. You do it for like two months or something and SLOWLY reintroduce foods, figuring out which ones are possibly the problem foods. It's still a shitty time but it's doable

>>13202506
Yeah, that’s the thing though. I’ve already been down that path. I know for sure that I can’t handle fructans, this one is the worst for me. Which means no more garlic and onions. Literally every fucking European recipe ever, as well as most Asian food as well.

Have any of you tried taking L-Glutamine? Did that help at all? I wanna cure this shit. I refuse to live the rest of my life like this.

>>13202461
I know this feel. Cut down on fat and fatty foods. Fat is the main problem according to my doctor when I got the diagnosis. Peel as many foods as you can since the skin is hard to break down, resulting in gas. Peel your apple, mix your peas, use a tin of tomatoes instead of fresh ones, and stuff like that. Don’t stop exercising, it gets worse if you do. Also don’t forget to take rehydration salts after your bad shits.

It's forbidden to mention sports drinks with blue #1 here so don't or you'll get banned. Has anyone with IBS tried one of the blue "cool/frost" 'ades with a flair up??

I don't have IBS or know much about it and I'm very curious about this because I was reading about blue 1 and it's very hard to replace and maybe that's alright because it is an anti inflammatory (via blocking heat sensitivity) with 95% passing though unabsorbed. So does any one get flare ups when their torso gets hot

>>13202461
My wife is on the FODMAP because of rather severe Crohn's and yeah, it's real hard.

>>13202474
My wife who got a similar thing that came out of the blue has never been overweight. It's more random genetics than can trigger it.

>>13202474
I got it from a food poisoning abroad.

>>13202461
You can still practice your hobby, just give the food to friends , family or even sell it.

>>13203104
Is this advice specific to crohn’s?

>>13202492
>I workout 2 hours a day mon-fri
What the fuck?!
Are you an athlete or something? Working out excessively is actually a possible CAUSE of IBS.

>>13202461
I was in a very similar situation 5 years ago, start praying cause I can't eat gluten or dairy without shitting minutes later now.

>>13202461
Do a heavy metal cleanse. Cilantro oil, algae or clay, some lemon water and some coffee enemas. Try this every other day for 2 or 3 months.

>>13202461
>constant diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc
think I might have this shit. been dealing with something strange since 2016. feel like I need to eat but i'm not hungry, but it's the only way to stop the feeling. and about 30 minutes after I eat, I feel bloated and uncomfortable.

>>13202461

>constant diarrhea, bloating, gas, etc
Jesus Christ, this. I swear, I can go from the fourth notch on my belt to being unable to buckle it and then back. My doctor scheduled a scope for the end of the month, so I'm hoping they'll diagnose something.

>>13203950
I got the advice from my doctor when I got diagnosed with IBS. I don’t know if it applies to Crohn’s as well.

>>13202461
Had a similar story, but after some tests and determining it wasn't anything serious and just IBS, my doctor had me try going on a low dose of amitriptyline. It seems to have made things way better.

>>13202530
Pretty gay mate id just neck it

>>13204337
Uhhhhh that’s a drug for crazy people though...

>>13202461
Eat what you want and deal with the shits later. I don't get why IBS is such a big deal to people.

>>13204377
Yes, it's usually an antidepressant, but a low dosage can affect IBS symptoms too. It seems to slow the gut down a bit and so things sort of evened out. Doctor said something like depressive symptoms would take a dose like 75-150mg while I take 25mg for IBS.

>>13204381
It causes strong urges out of nowhere and often times you never feel "done" shitting, like there's more just waiting to want out at the worst possible moment. Plus you can't move around right without your gut feeling fucked. It sucks.

>>13204381
Depends on the severity. Some people literally have to run to the bathroom after(or during) eating certain foods. That’s not really fun if you’re somewhere which is not at home. The diarrhea can be very painful and you get physically weak if you have diarrhea too often. Some people also get severe stomach pain.

>>13204381
> t. NEET that can spend 1/2 his day on a toilet without it interfering with his job.

I have had diarrhea since 2006. At times it was so bad that I was constantly on the verge of shitting myself. Had to take anti diarrhea meds before long road trips just in case.

But I just live with it, it's gotten better over the years and sometimes I even have solid shits for a few weeks,

>>13204304
Good luck anon! Hope it’s nothing too serious!

Doctors are stupid liars. Go get the herb Triphala OP. It will cure your IBS.

>>13204434
Imagine just giving up on life like this. Fix your fucking diet you idiot.

>>13204519
What's the point? I just have diarrhea more often than the average man. It's no big deal

>>13204531
Your intestines are fucked dude. Eat some fruits and vegetables.

>>13204538
Funny thing is this is usually terrible advice for someone who suffers from IBS. Better advice would be to go carnivore for a few weeks.

>>13204561
Wrong. The dude likely has low stomach acid and tons of backed up feces in his colon and small intestine. Ingesting decaying flesh is the last thing he wants to do.

>>13204604
>decaying flesh
Uh yeah dude I don't think carnivore means go eat dead raccoons in the woods.

>>13204613
you think slaughtered cow/chicken/pig isnt decaying flesh?

Just get a stoma, dude. No worries about rushing to the bathroom ever again.

Fodmap is a myth made up by the Jew that started the "gluten intolerance" trend. Just do keto and fast for a while and you'll be fine.

>>13204646
Dont do keto
