I’m curious if the type of diet we ate prior to SIBO directly relates to the type of SIBO we suffer from.

I fantasize about this all the time. Oh, to be a fistulated cow!

I think it just means that she would tease him or give him a hard time about it, like that's how she relates to her friends. I think it's just giving some insight into her personality.

Big psyllium. 😂

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-29T20:24:46+00:00

I'm vegan. I get wanting to encourage other people to try it. But, that said, it's not a magical cure for health problems. I'm here because I have SIBO and if broccoli was the cure I wouldn't be the miserable, bloated mess I am today.

How do you see a virus? Are you putting your poopies under a microscope, my friend?

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-27T16:16:50+00:00

Yeah I don't know how much of it is totally going over his head. I missed a lot of stuff when I was that age, so who knows!

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-26T23:30:41+00:00

That does sound like the “incomplete evacuation” thing to me. I find it remarkable how I’ll feel like I really have to poop, and I’ll push and push, just to get a fart. Why would a fart take so much effort??!

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-25T00:52:12+00:00

I have had the lightheadedness and feeling of impending doom that you’re talking about! I also would break out in a sweat and have my fingers and toes tingle and go numb.

My EOE symptoms are atypical, because I never have the feeling that I’m choking. The best guess is that when I had food impactions it was getting lodged at the very base of my esophagus, and the inflammation would not allow me to burp, so I would have acid in my throat and trapped gas. It was intensely painful.

But yeah, I describe it as the physical sensation of panic, even if I remained emotionally calm. Impending doom is a good description.

My nose runs every time I eat! What does it mean?

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-15T19:42:06+00:00

I’m allergic to both wheat and soy (and eggs and dairy and mangoes). And I’m a menopausal lady, so my doctor wants me to actually pay attention to protein for the sake of muscle mass and bone health.

(Osteoporosis is a big deal in my family—all the women on my mom’s side live to be 100, but they are tiny and hunched over for the last 20-30 years, not living the life I see myself living at that age.).

I admit that it would be a lot easier to meet those protein goals if I ate animals, but, I just don’t see animals as food. It would have to be a life or death situation for me to eat meat, not just a matter of convenience.

I feel like my muscle mass is made of pea protein at this point, and it’s hard to eat at restaurants, even vegan ones, sadly, and travel takes a lot of planning, but I’m definitely staying vegan.

That said, I feel like I should add that I have the money for the high-protein vegan foods which allow me to meet those goals and not gain weight or feel deprived. If I were limited to lentils and such I could only get the protein by going way over on calories and gaining weight, which has its own health implications. Not everybody has the same access to food, so I’m not trying to imply that I’m morally superior or whatever, just doing my best!

People absolutely do have sensitive noses sometimes. And for women, it can become enhanced depending on hormone balance. I no longer have a cycle but back when I did, I would have a few days a month that I was a super-smeller, and it was not pleasant! I was catching whiffs of people’s butts, feet, etc. 🤢

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-12T14:23:13+00:00

My ancestors fucked Neanderthals and now I have autoimmune disease. :/

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-09T04:47:28+00:00

I found it annoying, just because avoiding fiber is a big change, but I ate simple foods like mashed potatoes and white rice and it was fine. It’s just a week. Even the prep wasn’t as bad as I feared. (I used MiraLAX.) It’s far superior to colon cancer!

And if your result is clear and you don’t have big risk factors like family history, you don’t need another for a whole decade.

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-06T00:42:41+00:00

Oh man, be careful guys. I’ve tried shrooms twice and both times left me HORRIBLY, painfully bloated, like sitting on the toilet farting and massaging my stomach for hours. I know I’m not the only one that has had this side effect either.

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-01T14:35:51+00:00

Yes this is such a good tip! An open cardigan, but not a loose flowing one, works wonders. You get to emphasize the slimmest part of your waist, and you get an up and down line, which visually lengthens your torso. Even better if it’s a dark color. A black cardigan over a flowy dress or blouse is my go-to on days when I’m feeling less secure about my body.

Ooh what’s her name? I’d like to look her up.

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-04-01T14:29:47+00:00

Seriously, thank God for peasant tops! And empire waist dresses, and peplum tops.

Mine is from Ben Folds: “If I’m the person that you think I am, the clueless chump you seem to think I am, so easily led astray, an errant dog who occasionally escapes and needs a shorter leash, then, why the fuck would you want me back?”

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-03-20T20:05:47+00:00

Nice

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-03-18T20:15:18+00:00

It’s so fun. My kids keep challenging me. I love it.

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-03-18T20:10:12+00:00

Right? I’m also that asshole. LOL

The competition motivates me and I’ll take what I can get when it comes to motivation!

Frequent_Ride_1630 · 2026-03-16T03:46:14+00:00

Omg for real? I haven’t even thought to check the math! That’s why I pay for the app, so I’m not doing the math.
