I'm sick and tired of this. I deprive myself of my favorite foods, milk, dairy, pizza, fries, and for what?
To go through a cycle of feeling good, feeling average, feeling like garbage irregardless of what I ingest in my body.
I've dieted. Here's my diet.
I workout at the gym.
I take Benefiber, I even switched to the generic brand once Benefiber changed ingredients. I take Acidophillus. I take Glutamine. I take Miralax. I tried Lorazapam. I tried Rifaxmin.
I have aspergers. I need medication to help with anxiety, yet it seems EVERYONE I take gives me the same reaction as McDonalds would: Trapped Gas, Bloating, C, and D.
I was feeling less anxious on Luvox. So I went up to 100mg from 50mg. All of the sudden in the last month I begin having more trapped gas, bloating, c, and d.
So it seems hopeless. I try everything the doctor's and book say.
I try dieting. I try supplements. I try lifestyle changes and medications.
Nothing consistantly works, and I've been trying this for 1.5 years.
I can tolerate NOT eating foods I want. I can tolerate limiting myself socially by not partying, drinking, and having to embarass myself asking when eating out to have ingedients skipped. I can tolerate the time consuming nature of dieting, making extra meals, no fast food when I need quick meals, researching ingredients. I can....WHEN I get results.
But if all this is going to do is give me MIXED results, nothing substanial, consistent, just a tease. If when I try and treat myself for mental health problems, this is what I get: Trapped gas, bloating, c, and d. Then why bother? Why should I be denied McDonald's?
It's obviously not working and it obviously is not food related.
Dr.s keep telling me it's not food related, that I bacterial overgrowth. Alright, so I take Rifaxmin, Miralax, NOTHING. I take acidophillus. NOTHING.
I take SSRI's to help reduce anxiety, since I have strees, NOTHING.
Why the heck can't they help allieve something as concreate as BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH? Why should we go to these measures and time consuming extent for crummy results?
