I never have had my IBS symptoms, constipation, irregularity, and awful bloating, this bad since before I cam to Heather's site.
The only time I can remember having symptoms to this extent...were I go irregularly...and with poor stool movements...and in between stool movements I feel completely bloated and backed up...was back when I was eating cheese and not on Heather's diet.
This is beyond excruciating...I spend so much time and effort working on limiting my IBS symptoms...because when my IBS is bad...it completely destroys my physical appearance which I work so hard on at the gym.
I go to the gym, I lift weights, to get a clean, cut body.
Yet during times like this, even with my 8.3% bodyfat....I am so bloated you'd think I was an out of shape couch potatoe who was pregnant.
1) I'd just really like know WHY the suffering is going on and WHAT I can do...WHEN it will stop.
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.
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'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?)
1) WHY am I this way and WHY is it not recovering like it always has the past 5 years?
-Is the test prep+Align trial and will it subside?
2) If not...what?
3) What else can I do...I can't live this not knowing why I am in such a slump and if/when if ever I will recover.
If I ate pizza I could understand...I say to myself I feel like crap because I ate pizza and I will need to ride it out for a week.
But this...I can't pinpoint it and I don't have that assurance that I will recover.
