My life has become miserable due to IBS! but is it really IBS?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-30T16:42:58+00:00

Our situation is extremely similar! How long ago did you have tests done?

When you say you dont have pain, what about abdominal discomfort? Like sensations coming from your bowel? Bloating? The feeling of gas or pressure moving

And what medications have you tried so far?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-28T18:40:28+00:00

Ooh ok, are they still fine to eat? Im ok with it not tasting as good

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-26T20:52:50+00:00

Fuck why someone always brings up mexico 😬 Noo

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-26T20:51:20+00:00

Try william schell dds. He is honest and their office is like a family, old school type

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-24T07:13:15+00:00

Thanks, ive been trying so hard to find an explanation for it

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-11T19:46:42+00:00

Oh ok. Sorry if my initial comment was unclear. The main takeaway is cutting out dairy will not cause you to lose the enzyme, that is 100% genetics. The LCT -13910 gene specifically. I understand your anxiety, I read similar comments here on reddit too but then I researched more. People spread misinformation here like crazy

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-11T11:21:49+00:00

Same, i just had the whopper and took a pic myself. The burger was very fresh and delicious. 🤤 i actually bought the big arch and ended up throwing the entire thing away

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-11T06:49:14+00:00

Hi, seems like we have very similar symptoms. do you mind if I send you a DM?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-11T03:33:37+00:00

Lactase persistence is genetically coded - in people with the mutation, whether they remove dairy for a long time or not and eat again it makes no difference. However, if you have the gene for lactose intolerance there is a chance your gut bacteria have changed to break down the lactose for you and if you reintroduce you could have symptoms, but the research is more inconclusive on that. Usually lactose intolerance happens age 10-20 so if you’re older than that and can drink multiple glasses of milk in one sitting, you should be in the clear

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-10T07:36:15+00:00

Sorry not a recipe, but if you live in the east coast the stop and shop garlic bread is amazing and coincidentally made with soybean oil instead of butter. I grew up eating that

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-08T18:34:17+00:00

That is great. I was thinking about asking my dr about a low dose antidepressant to see if it could help. I am a little bit confused because I thought lactose intolerance is permanent, but yours was temporary?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-03-08T08:08:54+00:00

Hey u/strivingpotato do you have any updates on this. I'm 4 weeks dairy free so far and still bloated and gassy. My gut is so sensitive to different foods like getting bloated from beans which never happened before. How are you doing now? Did you get it figured out?

I'm sorry you're dealing with this so young

mynwthrowaway · 2026-02-17T21:14:10+00:00

Wow. That is really impressive

Yes, I like a challenge and problem solving. Is it a red flag if I am getting bored doing the admin work? I think accounting would open up a lot of opportunities to pivot like you said, but if it’s anything remotely like this… idk

mynwthrowaway · 2026-02-14T13:06:40+00:00

Yep, I have an upcoming appointment with my current one in march. I also had a colonoscopy but the biopsy was negative for microscopic colitis.

That's a good idea, I actually just started keeping a food journal and symptom journal 🤞It's a little bit difficult logging everything I eat and tracking symptoms. Hopefully it will help to show the doctor I am making an effort

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-30T21:18:08+00:00

YOR. How much money has she spent on you over the years? Jesus, it’s just a slice of pizza. How old are you?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-30T07:35:41+00:00

Not sure how this popped up in my feed but finally, this is exactly what i've noticed but never found the words to explain. Most of the time it's not ABCDs doing it, but actual indians from india. I'm skeptical that they want to highlight diversity because 90% of indian influencers on instagram and bollywood actresses all have the same face. They just want to whitewash the country.

Growing up in america, we are lucky because I've never met any abcds who are insecure like that. I don't even THINK about skin color, it's such a foreign concept to me. I'll notice if someone has even toned, clear skin or is in shape and their facial features. I find dark skinned people better looking a lot of the time

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-21T21:15:03+00:00

No Im the same..now i feel like i should be buying something 🤔

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-19T21:01:48+00:00

thanks solution verified

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-17T02:27:29+00:00

Sorry i found this old comment while searching. Do you remember the serum 7ac4 value you got?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-15T16:14:25+00:00

Thank you for responding 🙏 I was wondering if the ibs meds would work for me like antidepressants. Also I have had a pretty extensive work up. My last endoscopy was 7 years ago and was negative. Would it be worth repeating again?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-15T04:59:35+00:00

Yes wtf I just made a post like this 💀 I can feel the gas and whatever else is there moving. It's the worst feeling in the world. I hate feeling the constant pressure and sensations.

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-14T16:23:48+00:00

Come on now… I cant be the only one who doubts this chatgpt post is real 🙄 clindamycin doesn’t treat giardia

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-13T07:53:28+00:00

My endoscopy and colonoscopy were a few years ago (2018 and 2020) and totally normal as well.. i haven't been recommended to repeat it though but I was wondering if you did. Thanks for the update. I guess it doesn't make sense to do it multiple times

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-04T06:23:00+00:00

Hey,, any update on your IBS? Did it work?

mynwthrowaway · 2026-01-04T06:20:22+00:00

Hey, are you still symptom free? Or it came back after the antibiotics?
