Digestion problems/bubbles lol

Absolutely correct concerning the “gut-brain axis” as it’s oft referred to. Only a few researchers have delved into it. I’m endeavoring to be one of them, providing my research proposal gets the green light from the IRB.

You don’t have to name the medication, but can tell me what it was given to treat? I can narrow it down from there. Right now, it sounds like the lining of your gut is severely inflamed. Have you noticed blood in your stool? It will look dark like charcoal and smell absolutely terrible. Like, burn the bathroom to the ground, brick it over, place a biohazard sign on it terrible.

Any unintended weight loss? If so how much over how long?

Nausea and vomiting?

Urinating normally at regular intervals?

Brittle hair, nails, slow wound healing?

Lethargy or malaise?

How long after eating do the symptoms manifest?

If you don’t eat do they still persist?

Did your most recent blood work have high or low white blood cell counts?

Were your IgE, IgA, or IgG levels elevated?

What were your pre-albumin numbers?

Any edema of the hands, or feet? Especially later in the day.

You can get a simple breath test for SIBO to rule that out.

IBS and Crone’s is a little tougher to diagnose (usually an endoscopy is required sometimes blood work has to be done to necessitate the need for a scope).

A CT scan can usually rule out exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Some of the questions I asked can also necessitate the need for a CT.

Let me know and we can narrow this down.

Depakote mental health

 

[Bigmurph6]

Have you noticed blood in your stool?

I have been tested and do have blood in my stool and also liquid blood in the toilet off and on

 

[Bigmurph6]

Any unintended weight loss? If so how much over how long?

Yes 18lbs so far

Nausea and vomiting?

Nausea no vomit

Urinating normally at regular intervals?

Normally

Brittle hair, nails, slow wound healing?

N/a

Lethargy or malaise?

N/A

How long after eating do the symptoms manifest?

I smoke marijuana or it would be instant pain until I started using marijuana to eat I was going 2-3 days without eating. Usually it happens instantly unless im intoxicated then I don’t deal with it until I wake up but that’s usually around 2-3hrs later symptoms were instant before marijuana

If you don’t eat do they still persist?

Pain not bloating and gas

Did your most recent blood work have high or low white blood cell counts?

No

Were your IgE, IgA, or IgG levels elevated?

N/A I don’t know about these

What were your pre-albumin numbers?

Don’t know about this

 

[Bigmurph6]

Any edema of the hands, or feet? Especially later in the day.

Missed this one but no

 

[PNWmuscle]

Look into the vertical diet. One of the major points is digestion and what’s foods to eat and what to avoid. I’m slowly moving into that diet and notice a lot less bloat/digestive issues

 

[EF9kid]

My food intake it has been pretty much the same for years now.

Sodium is pretty low at the house.

I can honesty say is that my diet, sups have been the same.

The only difference now is my mental health medicine.

I have to get stool sample pretty soon, but my blood paperwork was good and I can try to get the copy of my results today.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I’ve had this suggested but I barely eat anything so I don’t believe that eating certain things helps I tried no bread tried only meat and tried not eating at all I believe that im past that point I need medical intervention but possibly for @EF9kid it would work

 

[PNWmuscle]

Yeah it’s just one option to try, not a fix it for everyone. Sorry to hear about that for you, seems like a struggle for sure

 

[Bigmurph6]

I definitely appreciate the help brother im glad that its working out for you

 

[Outlawthing]

I’m gonna. Post that gut health protocol right now you should try it. It’s not cheap. I’m bout to start it as soon as supplements get here these are specific brands I’m not saying use them. I don’t advocate for them. Either I just know I saw the most amazing transformation in my life bar none and this is what did it and I wanna share with community… if this is violation lemme know @Bigmurph and I will try again
WORKING ON GUT: SIBO LIBO

THIS WILL RUN 8 weeks

1. GUT DEFENDER NUETHIX: 2 caps meal 1 2, 4 and 5 so 4x per day your case is intense
2. Digestion: biotics research BETA PLUS 2 caps 3 x daily
3. Probiotics: 1 PER DAY use microbiome labs HU58
4. Biofilm removal: INTERFASE: 2 caps 3 x per day on empty stomach (20 mins pre eating if you can) each time for 2 weeks, then 3 caps 3 x per day for 2 weeks, then 4 caps 3 x per day 2 weeks, then 3 cap for 2 weks, then 2 caps for 2 weeks then off

*****AFTER 8 WEEKS IF WE ARE FEELING GOOD WE GO TO (MAINTENANCE PHASE) THE ABOVE SUPPS DROP AND WE START THE BELOW

1. broad spectrum probiotic, 2 per day:
2. 2 scoops of Gourmet Greens per day this feeds the good bugs in flora protect with prebiotics they need:
3. digestive enzyme: 1 packet with 3 biggest meals per day UTILIZE
4. stay METAGEST 1 cap per meal and 2 zinlori per day
5. stay on zinlori

ALSO STEP 2 START THE SUPPS BELOW DURING SIBO PROTOCOL

IODIZED Sea Salt - Sodium is actually very important in your diet. It’s one of your major electrolytes that needs to stay in balance with the others to keep you from retaining water or getting dehydrated. It also helps you feel stronger. While keeping your sodium intake in check, if you eat very clean you generally aren’t getting enough sodium. Sea salt is much healthier than table salt. So if you choose to use this then take it as advised in your meal plan. If you don’t want IODIZED sea salt or can’t find it you should get your iodine intake from kelp or other sources to aid in proper thyroid function. 1/4 tsp per meal is fine.

Multi-vitamin - You should be getting a lot of vitamins from the foods in your meal plan, but it’s good to supplement with an over-the-counter multi-vitamin to ensure you are getting everything your body needs. Take as directed on bottle

FIBER - You may not NEED this, but we find that most do best when taking a fiber supplement since a higher protein diet can cause constipation. Speficially women seem to do well with the extra fiber. We find it’s best to take it twice daily, though you may follow the directions on the bottle. Any brand that you prefer is fine, just make sure it’s SUGAR FREE if you do chewables or powder (**see notes on fiber in the warning section of the Getting Started link.) TWO TSP morning and TWO TSP evening is a good start

PUMP AND RECOVERY FORMULA: MIX IN 20 OZ WATER DRINK HALF ON WAY TO GYM DRINK OTHER HALF WHILE TRAINING

KARBOLYN: We use this for intra workout carbs in gaining phases

CITRULLINE MALATE: 6 grams in the intra shake, better pumps and MMC.

BETA ALANINE: 4-6 grams in the intra shake, lactic acid buffering, more reps can be performed

DIGESTION SUPPORT: gonna invest heavily here

GUT DEFENDER NUETHIX: 2 caps meal 1 2, 4 so 3x per day, I want 2 bottles ran of this we may be out but its coming back ASAP.

UTILYZE/DIGESTIVE ENZYMES - Some people have trouble digesting the increased food and protein amounts. If this happens to you, enzymes will help. UTILIZYE.

PROBIOTIC -microbiome Restor flora 1 morning 1 evening best for diarrhea

METAGEST: 2-3 CAPS PER MEAL meals 2 4 6

BORON: We use this when FREE testosterone comes back low lets do 6mg morning and 6mg evening for 10 weeks until blood work comes back

 

[Bigmurph6]

Its definitely an interesting protocol brother this is what you’re using?

 

[Outlawthing]

I am gathering stack it it’s a lot of stuff and a lot of money, but I watched it melt 50lbs of bloat, fat and crap off of my friend and it’s all he I’m was taking. He felt so much better had more energy night and day person. I figure if I do it and it works as well then it wasn’t a fluke. There is one other thing to add

If you can tolerate it. Raw vegetables, if not steamed. He went raw and it was brutal at first he didn’t wanna eat it but after he did he would pick it up out of floor and eat it said he craved raw veggies all time

 

[Bigmurph6]

With exercise or without?

 

[Outlawthing]

He does exercise 5 days with 20-30 min cardio per day his diet is clean all home prepared he is eating about 4400 calories right now thing is he been lifting and eating like this for 5 years at least never deviated cooks on Sunday all carries all meals wherever he goes

 

[Bigmurph6]

Wouldn’t it be the training and better diet that helped over the supplements?

I just have a hatred for dietary supplements ive only found a couple that actually do anything and you need to find the best src for them because there all cuts and fillers the labels on most are a joke

 

[Outlawthing]

I would be the first to say it was the training and diet not the supps but no matter what he did he always had extended belly even with abs and it’s gone. My theory on it is that we eat so much we get backed up and then it sets there and isn’t all removed that keeps the intestinal walls from absorbing nutrients, your bacteria in stomach getting into intestines causes issues. That ls why I want to try it I’m not going to base what it off one person completely I just know that was the only thing we changed and it worked. If I can do it then we have something I could get pics to show they wouldn’t be me but he don’t care in just can’t get him to join he said he don’t have enough time as it is

 

[Bigmurph6]

I agree with you about gut health being extremely important and that those supplements can help but I would recommend getting pure raw materials and then weighing and making your own supplements so you don’t get all the fillers and cut.

 

[Joe]

@Bigmurph Just to be clear, when you go to the bathroom, are your bowel movements sort of greasy and really smell terrible, like more rancid than a bowel movement normally would?

 

[Bigmurph6]

It depends there’s times that I have very solid stool. There’s other times that it isn’t diarrhea but not normal. I wouldn’t say rancid but my shit does stink
