Hey brother. I read your diet break down. Maybe I can help out. I’m not too sure without some more information but I’ll give it a try. I’m currently a grad student studying nutrition and dietetics. If I can’t help then I can run it by my thesis advisor. She earned her PhD in clinical nutrition. Let me rule out some common things if you don’t mind sharing. This is all stuff I’d normally ask in the office if you showed up with GI issues. Off the top of my head I’m guessing the bubble guts lead to some horrendous gas and or diarrhea. If you don’t know for sure what to answer just ask or say IDK.
Has your diet recently changed?
What is your sodium intake?
Fiber intake? From what sources?
What kind of veggies do you eat? Is that different from what you were eating?
What type of protein shake do you use? Brand and how much at a time?
Do you drink booze? If so how much?
Do you smoke? Anything?
Do you use a preworkout? If so what are the ingredients? (shoot me the brand and I’ll look the label up).
Caffeine intake?
Diet soda?
Sugar free snacks?
New medications?
New sups? Different sups?
Those are the big ones.

If you don’t mind sharing let me know what changed @Bigmurph. A litany of meds have GI issues associated with their usage. More often than not, it’s a combination of meds coupled with environmental factors that causes problems.
GI issues can be tough to track down. This is why if something is out of my wheelhouse too far (I study the links between diet, obesity, diabetes, and depression), I tap out and ask the PhDs who research specific morbidities for a living.
My thesis advisor has more letters behind her name than I have in my name. Couple that with her years of field experience and she has forgotten more about nutrition than I’ll probably ever learn.
Her mantra to grad students is this: Admit ignorance before proving it. Which reminds me of my SGM in the Corps btw. lol Although his version was quite a bit more colorful.
This is also difficult to do in a forum setting without compromising privacy. There is also the Hawthorne effect at play psychologically, and then we have the added burden of a linear relationship as opposed to something more MI consistent. I’m proceeding on the assumption that this is a close community and we are all adults here with the common goal of optimizing self improvement.

So im really open about my issues so I don’t mind I actually appreciate the help
I have had managed stomach issues for along time I would bleed off and on for around 18yrs since it was off and on I ignored it then I had to change medication and when I did this I suffered side effects and since all this happened my stomach is destroyed.
I just said to someone that my stomach was ok but it completely went to shit not long after right now im in pain and having serious gas bloating and shitting. Its horrible and painful this has happened every day since I took the medication before that it wasn’t as bad.
I also suffer from mental illness there’s alot of connections between the GI tract and mind.
I have been unmedicated for 8 months now so im not doing good at all in that department
Im not sure what other info to give my stomach is fucked though and so is my mind
