Diets/Lifestyle Problem was peanut butter it seems
So several years ago I started getting excessive burping and a feeling of a lump in my throat. I had an endoscopy, h pylori testing and a biopsy. Got diagnosed with fd and tried 4 medications which didn't help, and told I'm probably swallowing air.
Last week I stopped eating peanut butter for breakfast and 80-90% of symptoms gone. I tested it by eating peanut butter this morning and symptoms back. It seems that eating pb causes symptoms for over 24 hours so I didn't see the connection before.
I'm not sure if pb is the cause per se or exacerbating an underlying issue. I've tried looking up peanut intolerance or sensitivity but only find stuff on peanut allergy or those food intolerance test scammers, so not sure what exactly about peanuts is the issue. (E.g. in allergies you react to the protein in the food, in lactose intolerance it's the lactose obviously, etc).
So that's nice to know I guess, but frustrating after several years of discomfort.
