In Need of some Advice...
Have you been tested for food allergies? Some folks become severely allergic to anything with lactose, gluten, etc. Have you had a colonoscopy done to see if there is anything usual in your intestines?
A few things that come to mind,
- Food allergies
- IBS
- SIBO
- C-Dif
Google SIBO... SIBO can cause IBS... I develop some food allergies long term post op RNY... Plus food sensitivities. I.e grains - I am not technically allergic to that but I experience severe intolerance to most foods with or from grains - pain, bloating, gas...etc..
You also may have hernia and twisted guts... But my money is on food allergies and sensitivities - IBS caused by bacterial overgrowth...
There is theory that if our small intestine becomes inflamed due tomalleries or bacterial overgrowth - that can cause leaky gut - and undigested food can end up in our blood stream causing more allergies to develop.
Btw - I am allergic to dairy (proteins), soy, vanilla, banana, pineapple, etc etc... Some allergies are severe..others mild...
If I eat food I am allergic to - my gut may become very sensitive for days afterwords.
Culture - Stool samples will not detect SIBO..
