Hey im sorry you dont feel so hot right now, i can only imagine what youre going through. Ive read some of the replies you got and theres some quality advice in there. I think there are a few reasons youre having such trouble with your stomach:
- you quite possibly have a parasitic infection in your stomach and as a result unfriendly bacteria out number friendly bacteria.
- Stress. I dont know what came first the chicken or the egg, or in your case the digestive problems or the stress. Either way a viscous circle has developed were you have digestive problems which casue you to be stressed which cause more digestive problems.
- Wheat, gluten, dairy, caffeine. Even though you dont have an allergy to wheat it deosnt mean that its not causing you problems. Over the course of 23yrs you may have just eaten too much bread, pasta or whatever. Your body just cant handle this.
- Social isolation. As a result of your condition you've cut yourself off from friends
Look I know a lot of people have benefited from the eating for ibs diet and thats great.......but obviously it aint helping you and your situation. I think first and foremost cut out the wheat and anything contianing gluten. Do this for 6 wks. Get out and about. Dont sit at home all day thinking about how bad you feel becasue you'll just feel worse. Go for a walk. Do soem stretching(especially of the stomach area). But do something physical. The human body was designed for movement so do whats natural.
Get probiotics into you. Dr udo's super 8's are quality.......sorry about this but i have to go now, but i'll finish this post tommorrow or friday. In the meantime get your hands on a copy of "Improve your digestion" by patrick holford. Like i said, i know a lot of people have gotten results from the eating for ibs diet book, but its more of a treatmnet than a cure. "improve your digestion" is a cure, thats whay its so good. Ok i gotta go. If you need to contact me heres my e-mail: jethrofloyd@hotmail.com
Good luck
