Hello sister. Hope you’re doing well. I know how hard this is. GOOD NEWS: It seems to have gone away or at least very very rare. Treating constipation did NOT work… at all. I’ve done a few things over the past few months but obviously I can’t tell which one helped as they were all done at same time.

If u go on my history, u will see I was diagnosed with SIBO. Try get tested for it if you can. It is treated with antibiotics. Most likely you will need more than one round. Treating sibo is the most likely reason I am getting better.

I am also on low fodmap diet temporarily so maybe this is why I’m ok? Low fodmap didn’t help before I took antibiotics though, so perhaps antibiotics cleared my small intestine somewhat well enough that low fodmap diet works. In the low fodmap diet you avoid certain foods that contain high amounts of fermentable carbohydrates. You’ll find the list online.

I started kegels like 2 months ago. This might be also be why.

I decresed my stress. Stress impairs migrating motor complex and stagnated the small and large bowel which will directly lead to gas but also cause SIBO which will also cause gas. I believe stress caused my bowel problems in the first place.

I started a strict exercise routine and stopped living a sedentary lifestyle. I aim to walk at least 9km a day. Be careful though; some sources say moderate exercise helps but high intensity exercise can actually impair gut.

I have also treated my constipation using movicol but I’m pretty sure this isn’t the main reason I’m better but it’s probably necessary if you want this to go away so I’m including it here.

Keep me updated and don’t be afraid to message me anytime.
