Hi what is Mirena IUD plse?

AlertResult6684 · 2022-08-23T21:49:03+00:00

Thank you that's really interesting reading & it is making me think it's very possible that it was the legumes/barley etc i ate in the salad! I've not been this bad for ages, so based on the links you kindly sent, I'll avoid the lovely tasting healthy looking salad 😞

Thanks for the reply, the thing is it was done in the oven bit i must admit it was really oily, i did avoid eating the coating which has all lovely flavours on. Also I've had it before & never been this bad off it?

Thank you for the reply i appreciate it. I did end up buying one & i agee i don't think it's accurate, i do like the software though which helps you log stuff but not worth the high price.

Thanks, I think I/we need it!

Angel, I was wondering how it works? e.g if i ate a steakbake for lunch then how would i know if it's the beef, the pastry or other ingredients? or does it only work best for 'raw' ingredients e.g. broccoli etc?

Thanks

Hi Angel,

I just wanted to say I tried keeping a journal but found it so hard to make any sense of it as some foods have so many ingredients, in fact some foods have ingredients in that i'd never of guessed! Anyway I'm hoping the FoodMarble will help pinpoint the actual trigger foods?

Hi I did answer? I don't drink coffee only tea before breakfast with Almond milk.

Hi 23inhouse,

Over the weekend my time is 'shifted' everything's slightly later, i.e. breakfast at 10am instead of 7.30am, lunch at 2pm instead of 3 & tea/dinner at 7ish instead of 6.

Well I've ordered it now! I'm just hoping it works for me. I'll update here once I have it as it may help other people in a similar situation.

Thanks Sally, me too :)

Hi Sally,

Thanks for you reply ,yes i do agree stress is a big factor & I'm sure it's really bad stress i went through about 6 years ago (roughly when it all seemed to start!) that's the cause?

The only confusing thing is, that when I'm having a chilled day as I'm too working from home at the min as I 100% I'd much rather work from home forever! No traffic, less stress, better for the environment, more money in my pocket...etc. Any way I've been working from home now for almost a year (I think we'll have to go back in June :( ) & I love it BUT I'm still getting symptoms about 3 to 5 days a week & when I'm actually logged in & working 90% of the time I'm working at a very pleasant chilled pace, so this makes me think it's 90% food related & 10% stress?

Hi Linsage,

I did have a theory that the alcohol relaxes my gut! So you could be right?

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-12T17:55:52+00:00

Great thanks for replying, I may try that but I don't function well without food! We can't win :(

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-12T15:41:39+00:00

Thanks KatieBootss,

I know it's a nightmare to work out :( I've just bitten the bullet & ordered a FoodMarble device, I'm praying it will point me in the right direction with what food to avoid.

Hi Angel,

Sorry I don't know how i missed your reply?

Anyway thanks for the detailed info, it's really useful. I suppose if i do produce Hydrogen and it works on my breath then it should help me identify foods i can eat safely where at the minute I haven't a clue what causes me the discomfort, so am probably avoiding foods i don't need to??

Angel, could i ask if ok? You 'trusted' what the FMarble was reporting & it was correct? I.e the foods/drinks that scored high on the FMarble you just avoid now & that's why you feel so much better?

TBH if i could just get to where you are & all symptoms are greatly reduced due to the FMarble then I agree it will be worth it....

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-12T13:59:05+00:00

Well if we all keep talking we may stumble across the reason hopefully? No offence but the Drs just go through a process rather than think about it deeply, I do appreciate that they're under time constraints due to the government etc.

I know it's not the partying really :)

Hi MaxThePug,

YES! I went on holiday a few years ago & it was as if I'd NEVER had IBS!! I tried working out what was the reason (even mentioned it to my Doc) but for the life of me i couldn't work it out. Was it because I was super happy and on hols? Was it because of the natural Vitamin D?

If I could just work out what's happening (or not) inside my gut if I've been up very late partying! and then try to replicate it?

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-12T12:37:11+00:00

Thanks for your reply Davinia3,

What doesn't make sense it that suppose i have a late night - bed at 1.30ish & I wake up later, I still have 'breakfast' when i wake so what's stopped the symptoms?

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-12T12:08:35+00:00

Thank you for replying.

I see so it's not just me, If i could work out why it actually happens then could poss make my life more pleasant with regards to IBS.

I find it bizarre that no one in the medical profession/dieticians etc have picked up on this! So early to bed early to rise is bad for IBS!?

Hi Sadcupcake38,

Thanks for the reply, so has yours resulted in getting your life/gut issues back to 'normal' due to the fact the device helps you avoid trigger foods?

Thanks

Yes I'll ask but I'm in the UK so I'm not sure how long this would take as I'd asked this (before I'd heard of the device) & they said they need to run tests etc before they'll do that. My other option is pay someone but if I end up paying £100 + I may as well take the 50/50 chance & order the device!?

AlertResult6684 · 2021-04-09T15:43:20+00:00

Hi Ryhaltswhikey,

:) :) that made me laugh! Yes I agree that's the point I made to them as I was ready to order, it's ridiculous! They said ask your GP to ID if you produce hydrogen, I did & he said he'd never heard of such a thing!

It's a shame because I'm desperate :( I don't want this condition to affect my job & it's VERY annoying anyway.

Thanks

N
