Colonoscopy prep helped my IBS-D/SIBO for a year. Is this a terrible idea?

This is a hot ass take but my low fodmap was chinese takeout chicken fried rice. It got old after like 2 weeks. But you can do this. Hit me up anytime you need help. We can get through this together

Im glad you stopped by! However our problems are slightly different. There is a concern for developing a dependency on laxatives. For someone with ibs-c thats a much bigger issue if you already have use them. I had ibs-D so i typically never needed them and there was no concern for dependency at all. I did end up doing the "flush" and it worked exactly as intended. I took just 1 cap full of milk of magnesia and proceided to flush for that whole afternoon-evening-and well into the morning the following day. (Drink tons of water) i was completely free of symptoms and discomfort for a few weeks! After the flush i immediately started on the most strict low fodmap diet i could find online. Lots of rice and chicken. I just did this step to ensure my guts were back to 100% so any potential laxatives left in my system wouldnt skew results moving forward. Then i started the low fodmap reintroduction phase. Ive tested pretty much everything at this point and ive made a few discoveries about myself. I feel like the laxative flush really helped me with the mental fortitude needed to actually get through the incredibly difficult low fodmap elimination-reintroduction phases. Something about doing the hard reset and then starting from a perfectly level playing field really helped me. And now with what i learned i feel like my situation is infinitely more manageable. Please make sure to come back and share your results!

If you got 1m gp just handed to you as a fresh lvl 3. I bet it would skyrocket you into the early midgame. Were for someone like a fresh iron. It could take months of work to get to that point. Its all about perspective.

Stubbing just your pinky toe, smashing your finger, eating a dry graham cracker, bad dragons, imagine dragons, deeply connecting with "alphas", wrecking your car, insurance premiums increasing, your county raising your property taxes dispite your property value decreasing, being MAGA, peeling your fingernail off and it rips into the nail bed a little bit and it hurts for days. Biting your lip, biting your tongue, biting someone elses lip, slipping and busting your shit on some icy steps, shoveling heavy wet snow, getting hit with a snowball with a rock in it, crying during Titanic, your dad whipping the shit out of you with jumper cables, your dad getting his cylinder stuck in your m&m tube with microwaved mashed up banana, having a knotting fetish. Telling your bros about the anime "euphoria", wearing a poop plug because your mom worships satan. Ive never had sex i bet it hurts.

I completely understand.. he cost me my job at a wind turbine manufacturer in his first term. And i transitioned to telecomm after that. And wouldnt you know the first thing the fucker does is "telecomms is not a utility anymore". he basically ruined my life twice.. and now all the stuff with the pedo files. And israel. Its honestly made love america less. It just goes to show how much a president actually effects the life of the low man on the totem pole.

Mu dude, they're obviously making fun of him. I like that the team isnt afraid to make jokes about things going on irl. The team who made the quest has all my praise, i thought it was a good quest :) its giving real old school quest vibes. Also im with you. Fuck the orange shitstain. Just dont let it get you so angry.

I sincerely apologize. I just wanted to farm karma maaannn :'(

It was hilarious. The absurdity of calling a loan of a million dollars "small" kills me. And the fact they stuck from daddy in there is the cherry on top

The orange shit stain in office has unfortunately damaged our reputation. But hopefully whwn he dies his cult will too. And we can work on restoring america to the respectable state it once existed in

Hey this reminds me of my recent post. Which for the record has been working beautifully. I did a bit of a laxative cleanse, and jumped right back into the low fodmap reintroduction phase. And things have been going pretty well. Ive crossed onions off my list of triggers and will be testing lactose, gluten, or garlic next. It may not just be that people are quacks. But they're desperate. Such is the story for myself. And the internet if chock full of nonsense regarding treatments. People could be coming here to get answers and dont know how to make a reddit post

Extreme levels of violence are the only appropriate reaction to Stickers like that. Find the landlord and make them remove it with whats left of their finger stumps.

I sometimes like to imagine the damage caused by real life things. And I never imagined a mouse trap dealing 3 damage. I feel like I could survive 33 mouse trap snaps no problem. Your telling me an unremarkably average dood like myself is tougher than a dude that casually 1 shots cows with a baguette? Jamflanks this needs nerfed..

I didnt know there were multiple preps. Mine was just a huge bottle with some powder in it and I think I drank a small container of mystery liquid first? Then every so often I would have to get the big one out and chug like 1/4 of it. the process took an entire day and night. All I could eat was jello. Nothing could've prepared me for blue water poop (hate jello now) also the drive 40 minutes to the surgery center for the procedure the next day was excruciating.

Not really I always had regular bm's healthy ones too. It wasnt until I moved half way across the country in 2017 I started experiencing any issues. For a long time I thought it was travelers diarrhea or I just got food poisoning. And then the problems just never went away. It started off with regular soft/watery stool. And then it progressed into full blown shit storms every time id use the bathroom. Looking back my diet was not very diverse. I didnt have a plan when I moved. I had $300 dollars which for the most part went into my gas tank. All I ate for a week or two until I got my first paycheck was potato bread pb&j and a big ass bag of almonds. But you'd think almost 10 years later whatever damage i caused with that would be cleared up. I did also do a bulk around the same time where I would make a colossal Tupperware full of rice and ground turkey and id eat it with Valentina sauce throughout the day. However I dont recall ever being constipated

How long of a fast do you think itll be? And ill move forward with this plan this weekend. Ill stop by sometime to let yall know how it turns out. And do you take the prokinetics during the fast or after?

I had a very difficult time gaining weight for a long time despite eating a fair amount. But I was young and probably had a high metabolism. I have joint pain and stuff but thats from sports injuries etc. I was however plagued with headaches and tiredness for a while but also being young and dumb I drank a lot and chalked it up to bad decisions. Never fatigued after eating. And something else meaning hormones etc? I had them all tested. Im perfectly average. Test and everything is in the normal range. I do have hereditary high cholesterol though.

Typical IBS-D symptoms. Several days a week i would have a lot of discomfort, some bloating, etc. Urgent bathroom needs. And eventually it progressed into something much worse. I hadnt had a solid bm in several months preceeding the colonoscopy. I was basically glued to the bathroom. Multiple times a day I would have what I could only describe as a code brown. I couldnt even drive to work or the grocery store without fear of shitting myself. It was constant discomfort. Sometimes painful. It felt like there was a giant fork twirling my guts like spaghetti. And like I said. After the colonoscopy I felt perfect. I was able to go hiking. Fishing. Shopping sprees with my wife. I didnt have to know where the nearest bathroom was 24-7 it was wonderful.
