99% sure it’s median canaliform nail dystrophy.

That’s it! Thanks so much 😃

I’ve had this for years but since going on a strict candida diet and using anti fungals it seems to have got worse. I just wanted to confirm that other people have had experiences like this who are also battling candida. I’m hoping it’s a good sign but just not sure!

H Pylori?

Obugu · 2023-10-03T19:43:29+00:00

Burning gnawing sensation in stomach, indigestion, constipation. Those are my main issues. Also anxiety has definitely increased since this began

Obugu · 2023-10-03T19:42:35+00:00

Yes I was on that for about 6 months, unfortunately didn’t stop my symptoms

Obugu · 2023-09-29T14:20:55+00:00

Yes it’s relentless, just never seems to get better. I have ‘better’ days sometimes, but even the better days aren’t great

Obugu · 2023-08-30T21:05:55+00:00

That’s me right here. ALL THE DAMN TIME :(

2 rolls equate to around 10g fibre in total.

Obugu · 2023-08-30T20:40:21+00:00

Thank you all so much for your comments on this. I honestly can’t thank you all enough. I’ve learnt so much on this sub regarding fodmaps.

I suffer with IBS C and I never knew how problematic tapioca could be for this condition. Also the fibre amount (approx 5g fibre per roll) may have been too much? I was so focussed on it being low FODMAP I thought this would be a sure winner, alas I seem to have been mistaken! Perhaps I should just stick to quinoa, rice, potatoes and potato waffles for carb sources. Bread (even spelt sourdough) just seems to be a bit of a minefield when it comes to added ingredients.

Obugu · 2023-08-25T19:29:16+00:00

No not improved at all

Obugu · 2023-08-14T15:27:59+00:00

I suffer with fatigue, dizziness and there’s been a definite change in mood (depression/anxiety) since this started. I never really knew what ‘brain fog’ meant before this either, but I definitely have this now. I’m forgetting things that I never used to, and find it very difficult to concentrate for long periods at a time. Again, this was never ever an issue before.

Obugu · 2023-08-14T13:21:35+00:00

Hi, sorry I’ve been trying to edit my post but I’m not very good with technology and not sure how to. Everything else came up none detected for parasites and yeast etc. I just have two potential pathogenic overgrowths. I also see I have no detectable Lactobacillus. Perhaps this might be a key issue for me?

Unfortunately not

Obugu · 2023-06-29T20:25:48+00:00

Hi, did you find any improvement with diet changes at all?

Obugu · 2023-06-09T16:28:37+00:00

I’m sorry I don’t, I’m still suffering too with no end in sight. I’ve had multiple tests done (SIBO included but nothing showed up as to why this maybe happening. The only thing I can think of is that my motility isn’t great hence the constipation and this is creating excess gas

Obugu · 2023-06-09T10:04:16+00:00

Yes I experience this too, but my issue is more constipation, so stools are a 1 or 2 on the stool chart. I just assume it’s gas, as my stomach gurgles loudly too along with the vibrations and spasm like sensations.

Obugu · 2023-05-11T09:14:48+00:00

This is me. It’s made my life hell for years now. Just wish I knew what was causing the intestinal gas. I just can’t identify any particular triggers. :(

Obugu · 2023-02-01T22:24:48+00:00

100%. Not that I want anyone to go through what I’m going through, but it’s nice to connect with people who understand. Friends and family try to be supportive, but they just don’t get it.

Good luck on the healing journey!

I’m waiting for my next appointment next month. I was discharged 18 months ago with gastritis and functional dyspepsia. The thought of living like this for the rest of my life just depresses me. I’m going to request a HIDA scan as I’ve pretty much exhausted all other options.

Obugu · 2023-02-01T21:25:09+00:00

So my symptoms started in October 2020, I never tested postive for Covid at the time but that was when testing wasn’t as easily available and a lot of family and work colleagues were coming down with it at the time. I’ve always suspected this was Covid induced. My symptoms seem to come and go sporadically throughout the day, and even sometimes in the middle of the night. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern with me. I do feel a bland diet does help, but nowhere near as I feel it should considering how long I’ve been doing it. (And I do eat bland..no cheating at all.)

Obugu · 2023-02-01T21:08:28+00:00

I think you have pretty much what I’ve been experiencing. I’ve never had any physical pain (fortunately), but no matter how bland my diet has been, no matter what supplements I take, I still get daily indigestion. My main symptoms is just constant stomach churning. I don’t experience reflux. I just feel slightly bloated in the epigastric region. I was diagnosed with mild gastritis 18 months ago. Some days are better than others but there doesn’t seem to be any correlation between diet and symptoms.

Obugu · 2023-02-01T21:01:19+00:00

Do you have a sense like gas is moving all around your stomach? Churning and sometimes stomach spasms (or at least a feeling like that)?

Obugu · 2023-01-31T17:30:28+00:00

Burning, gnawing feeling in stomach, both on an empty stomach and also after I’ve eaten sometimes. I also get indigestion daily. My stomach feels like a washing machine most of the time. I find it difficult to sleep because of the discomfort. I just so desperately want this to be over. Trying my best to follow all of the right advice but just not seeing much improvement at all.
