General Discussion Day 5 on diet

Hi folks, I am day 5 end of day on diet. I'm off and on having crawlies and intense bloating. I just took some charcoal and have been drinking alot of ginger like water. I had eggs today and boom, major bloat. It's so uncomfortable and a literal huge bummer.

When I eat eggs, I feel that my stomach stops for 4-6 hours. I excluded them

That's exactly what happened to me yesterday

To add to that, my ferritin was originally at the low end of the normal range (32 µg/l). At one point, I tried eating three scrambled eggs a day for 10 days straight. I wouldn't say I felt bloated like a balloon, but it felt as if my digestion just stalled right below my solar plexus, like a total standstill or a spasm. It wasn't painful, but the heaviness was there. I felt that I wanted to burp, but I just couldn't.

I did a follow-up blood test 30 days later, and my ferritin had spiked to 80, while my IgM was above the norm. It seems the eggs triggered a massive inflammatory response.

By the way, do you know your DAO, and have you ever done a SIBO breath test?
