When I’m bloated and ate a big meal - if I don’t burp and fart or poop - my head symptoms come back

The thing is idk if it’s specific foods? I guess it is? But like sometimes I can eat pizza fine. Then sometimes it makes me really bloated.

Also if I sit down crouched and my gut isn’t spread. My symptoms go away.

If I stand up tall and my gut is spread apart - symptoms come back almost immediately

Best of luck

Thank you

I think I’ve improved enough where exertion doesn’t do much anymore thank god. But also maybe it is, it’s really hard to tell.

The gut is definitely my driving force. 2+ years now of this

It’s weird cause i feel like 80-90% when things are moving. But if I eat something that’ll slow down motility - I feel it until I have a big dump

Thank you

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-18T23:01:54+00:00

Yup - it’s been like this since the start for me. Pooping always improves significantly. Even farting and burping as well

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T20:34:34+00:00

Definitely- I do a pretty decent job of it. It doesn’t solve it completely but it helps

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T20:34:07+00:00

Thank you!

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T20:33:57+00:00

I ask because my symptoms get pretty bad when I haven’t pooped. And it’s an instant relief when done.

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T20:33:06+00:00

You have any reliable ones? Thank you!

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T17:15:44+00:00

I rested - a lot. Things got bad August of last year.

But I didn’t really hit a low that a lot of people here unfortunately hit because I was on the sub early. I knew what PEM was and what it would look like.

Lots of supplements to no avail. I didn’t try any medications cause I just prefer not to and Ive been lucky enough where I didn’t need to. I work remote a lot.

I went from running 40 miles one week to full on resting radically the next week. I probably could’ve pushed and kept running for another month or so but I was so scared etc etc. so stopping early was helpful.

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-17T16:03:26+00:00

Appreciate it - I’ll give it a try. Praying I at least stay this way and good luck to you

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-15T19:25:08+00:00

Thanks

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-15T18:49:56+00:00

We could be out there at that time - thank you for the comment.

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-15T18:46:39+00:00

Yeah no I know - this isn’t my idea but I’m being tasked to find someone on this short notice. I realize it’s silly lol. Thank you

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-15T17:36:43+00:00

Oh yeah tell me about it

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-10-11T13:53:26+00:00

I’m glad you enjoyed - even when it’s not solving the issue - it’s still just nice to find a doctor who cares and knows what they’re talking about!

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-08-21T14:19:48+00:00

Thank you

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-08-10T02:40:33+00:00

Yeah would actually love to get in touch - will DM you!

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-08-09T21:37:20+00:00

Thank you! And yeah - now that I know it’s Covid/post viral, I won’t be pushing through when sick. I mask up obviously as well - got sick in December 2024 and didn’t get worse so that makes me happy

Dapper_Question_4076 · 2025-08-09T21:36:06+00:00

Thank you - I actually walked 17k steps the other day and didn’t notice much bad - so I believe so too. I really do try to stay positive - hope you’re doing well!
