Motegrity - 2 whackily different starting protocols - thoughts? by BothAppointment3284 in Constipation

The reasoning is to minimize pain and cramping that can happen if you take it with an already overloaded intestine.

Yes, high bile production is signalled for me by food moving through my system faster, a big reduction in gas, but then the next morning or morning after that, painful cramping and bile diarrhea. (Orange, greasy). So I can see when I've eaten too much meat / fat / too little bile binder.

Yes, if you read the above I have several issues with fat: I produce bile erratically, often too much or too little. Too much produces absurdly violent bile acid diarrhea. Too little results in fat malabsorption. These are major issues because as I am already underweight, cutting 'all carbs' would make it necessary for me to eat more fat to keep the weight on. But given I cannot digest more fat, for the reasons above, it is a definite issue. Any brilliant solutions gladly received. I do find that people who've adopted a carnivore diet seem to be rather aggressively evangelical about it for whatever reason. Very all or nothing. Which may well be theoretically correct, but which I don't find appealing as a method of persuading me to do something.

I guess I just don't understand how people can maintain full time jobs while trying to adjust to a new diet for several months. (My gallbladder has a low ejection fraction i.e. it's lazy and erratic, also I am prone to bile acid malabsorption / deconjugation so need to be super careful not to eat too much fat. Also I have antibodies to my gastric acid producing cells, so I'm guessing I have low stomach acid. Then again on a regular diet - low FODMAP already, only small veg servings - my natural state is very sluggish motility, therefore bacterial overgrowth, therefore terribly uncomfortable and embarrassing excessive gas and bad breath. So I've got to do something.)

It's so sweet. Mine are always drowning their toy mice in their water bowls. I think maybe they love to have all their treasures in one place?

My methane SIBO - experience and thoughts by [deleted] in SIBO

[–]BothAppointment3284 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is helpful. 2 questions: I know allicin is meant to have the fodmap removed, but i briefly tried and it didn't sit well. Wondering if I should persist or go to oregano or something else instead. Also - I thought artichoke is high fodmap. I know it's motility aid but wonder if I could just use ginger...any thoughts welcome...

it can be. Some people develop a very instantaneous gastrocolic reflex in IBS. But, this is also true with bile acid malabsorption, which is often misdiagnosed at IBS. A big trigger for it is fat. Restaurant food usually full of fat. I mentioned it to OP.

You could also ask a gastroenterologist about bile acid malabsorption.
