I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on an 'attack' I had last night
Yesterday, I ate porridge for breakfast (with soya milk), some rice cakes and a banana mid morning, rice and chicken for lunch, some rice cakes in the afternoon and then turkey dinner in the evening (potatoes, carrots/sweet potato and a small amount of parsnip).
Before dinner I did some yoga and was burping a bit (until it felt quite 'acid', maybe I'd gone too long without food?). After dinner, I felt uncomfortable then started to feel gas moving around my stomach and yep, you've guessed it, a trip to the bathroom ensued……. In some respects I'm lucky that it was just the one trip, thankfully…. Afterwards and this morning I felt a bit 'sore' and unsettled….
I've been taking SFS, prescribed peppermint caps and digestive enzymes for some time. I've also started drinking lots of water (which I've noticed has helped a lot) but an 'episode' like this knocks me back and leaves me desperately trying to work out what went wrong.
I didn't eat any trigger foods and have no idea where the gassy feeling came from – any ideas?? Can an attack be caused by trapped gas? How do I stop the gas from developing in the first place (I avoid all 'gassy' food like the plague already!). I've heard that charcoal tablets can absorb gases but could cause bloating etc. Could it have been too many vegetables, particularly parsnip, as I've had a similar episode after a turkey dinner (but then again I've eaten it before and been fine..).
My brain hurts from analysing it! Any help would be much appreciated!
