I suppose what I really want to know, what is really setting me off and making me quite worried is
1) WHY am I suddenly feeling this way...why isn't it getting better...and when will it?
I have been following IBS rules for 5 years and it never has gotten to this extent and for this length of time. Usually I might have a relapse but by now, the body has recovered and bounced back to relative comfort. This time around, that is not the case.
Now if I did a colon cleanse or something I can see. The only thing I did was:
1) Prep for bacterial test (no probiotic for 2 week and no benefiber for 1 week)....and this test was a month ago 2) Switched to Align for 1.5 week after the test was done. After which for the last week I have been back on Jarrowdophillus Acidophillus. -I also tinkered and went off Oat Bran for a week...but have been back on Oat and Bran and applesauce for a week.
I would have figured with almost a week supplementing and easting "back to normal" my body would be almost recovered. It's not. Yes I still go and take dump...but I do not let gas nearly as much, the stool movements are not as regular nor as lumpy, and many times during the day I feel like my whole body is just stuck.
I got 8.3% bodyfat...and yet my stomach is swelled and bloated like I am pregnant or just ate a pizza. I just do not get why after all these years I am in such a desperate state.
I'd feel better if I knew this was just due to the combo of prepping for my test+taking align and that all should subside soon. I'm just not getting that signal and it is very distressing.
I do not know who to turn to? I mean, should I go and see a doctor about the constipation...I can't live this way...it's just not fair...I did not do anything to provocate this...I diet hard...I eat clean...I pay extra close attention. I'm starting to wonder what I did to deserve this and if I will ever come out because right now, the normal remedies and measures I take (Heathers EFI diet+Benefiber+Jarrows) my regular diet and supplements which have always gotten decent results aren't.
1) Is there any reason why I am still so far worse off? This really makes no sense that suddenly I had this awful relapse. Could prepping for the bacterial test+stopping oat bran w/applesauce+trying align be to blame...still? Thoe most panicking part is not knowing why this is going on...I have been following my body closely for 5 years and never seen it this bad, for this long, and would like, if possible, some explanation so I know it will be ok. This constant feeling of feeling constipated/bloated and backed despite the same diet is really, really irritating me.
I'm at a loss and don't know if this is something which will run it's course, if I need to see a doctor (and even then...what kind of DR.? Should I even see an MD or a homepathic?)
