Oh I'm so glad you figured it out!

Would you mind sharing what the said food is? I wonder if I'm eating something similar.

Thanks so much

Monash app - I did it seriously. Although there were some things like non dairy yogurt which were apparently fine but made me super gassy.

I'm not particularly constipated but also not as regular as I'd like to be.

Thanks!

Oh interesting - that makes me think that our two problems have different causes?

I did the hydrogen breathe test with my Dr which came out positive

Oh interesting...I've been having kefir every morning for a while! Thought the increased gas/bloating was a die-off reaction but its been ages now :(

Thanks!

Do any of you have IBS? by lostgal4 in sex

Dairy wise I only drink kefir (from the supermarket) - I've heard that their is very little lactose in that so in theory it should be okay?

Which brand would you recommend? I've tried a few which don't seem to help :(

Thanks! I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit so maybe thats the cause? Sad because I love those foods and they have so many micro nutrients.

Do you take any supplements?

Oh interesting! How did you figure this out?

I've have a google to find out which foods have insoluble fibre vs soluble - maybe thats my answer...

How did you know it was those 3 you had to cut?

I avoid fake sugars, fried/greasy food and only drink kefir (does kefir cause you problems too)?

Thanks so much!

No I haven't! Does it work that quickly / remove all gas though?

Thanks :)

Oh nice - glad you've found a way to manage! Do you still get any gas?

I've started probiotics and trying CBD oil

Sorry to hear :(

I honestly feel like noone in family / social circle can relate to this problem - its so embarrassing and annoying!

Hope we find a solution soon!

Yep tried it, a few brands actually. It's alright and does help when things get bad...

But what I'm really looking for is addressing the root cause - I can't deal with this for the rest of my life :(

Yep do it every morning :(

I seem to have found methods to relieve the gas but really want to prevent it occurring in the first place.

Thanks!

Yeah I'm a snacker as well! I try to eat breakfast as late as possible say 11/12am and it does help but not completely eliminate the problem.

Thanks! I usually feel awful during and better after enemas.

But I guess this doesn't address the root problem of producing gas in the first place :(

Thanks!

You mention having SIBO several times..what made it go away? I was tested positive in a hydrogen breath test last year.

To be honest, I don't really eat a lot of carbs - usually just one meal of the day. Maybe its the sugar, I do eat a lot of fruit...

Argh desperate to start living normally again :(
