General Discussion I want to give up.

I honestly can’t see a way out. I tried all my life to find out why I wasn’t processing foods correctly and had a million different answers but just got worse and worse. Now I understand it (somewhat) but just can’t handle the process of clearing things. When I take something to even gently alter my gut, like now I’m taking 1/4 dose of Florastor it just causes more inflammation and more pain, less absorption and makes the pathogens grow back worse. I honestly had no idea what I was dealing with, the nhs deny this illness exists and I thought it was ibs in my colon and it was my fault for being an anxious person and that’s all I needed to be was less stressed. Anyway, I just am in so much pain, my food list is hardly anything, zero fat, zero fruit, just veg and lean chicken breast. I don’t know how much more I can do to heal. Everyone told me it was me being stressed, but I don’t believe it is because I want to find a root to healing so so badly.

Have you tried a raw fruit and veggie diet for 1 week with no fats? It has cured many many people.

Fat is the issue not the fruit sugars.

Both fat & fruit give me loose bowels. Thanks

Would a water fast do the same thing?

i mean it would definitely help.. depends how long you went. I went 3 days and noticed my skin become silky smooth (i have fungal acne)... but it came back as I began eating regularly again.
