Long, involved, disruptive.
Possibly gross.
In a thread I can't be arsed to find right now (tired, it was a while ago) I discussed some problems I had with eating along the lines of hypoglycemia. Damn if I don't need the actual diagnosis. I plan on asking the nutritionist I'll see two weeks from now.
Anyway. My guts decided to hate me, and I narrowed it down to "gas making me nauseous." (Now I can spell the word right ) I felt sick like I was going to vom, but never did, and it happened/s when I go #2 as well (thankfully not today!) I went to the doctor and she said I has irritated bowels, which, yeah, makes sense. No pain, no strangeness in egress (hem) in any direction... just, nausea and some gas. Not even smelly gas! (geeze. the least it could do... ) anyway. Food journal, suggested dairy and gluten elimination diets (I'm working on getting rid of the milk I bought... and it doesn't seem to be the problem, you'll see in a bit), probiotics.
1. Probiotics: how do they work? I read stuff on the internet, but a friend of mine says the ones that get a gel coating in your stomach and are released in your intestines don't work. (I had had food poisoning and an abrupt nasty illness that was pretty much food poisoning but didn't involve the poisoned food in May last year and in February or March this year, so getting 'cleaned out' was a distinct possibility) I felt better today after taking about 2 pills-- do they work that fast?
2. The same old "don't want to eat, but when I remember to do so, everything gets angry at me and my sugar bounces all over the place and I get anxious and gassy and nauseous and the world ends" slippery slope, and summer, the season of appetite suppression, is coming up. Advice and/or strategies on how to deal with not wanting to cook, not wanting to eat-- but needing to do both to not break the budget, irritate my guts, and keep my body in ~15kKcal a day.
3. My diet for the last few days has consisted of: whole milk (mmmmm), Wasa crackers, strawberries (fresh! mmm!) and linguini noodles with spaghetti tomato sauce. Tuna with some mayo the first day as well, planning on eating more 'cuz it's solid stuff for my tummy needing protein (and does best with animal stuff). Oh, and water. 40-60 oz water; and one square of dark chocolate that amounts to about 25 calories (kCal). Does this seem pretty good to avoid ... uh diarrhea and/or constipation? (yes I am taking vitamins, Shackley multi's, D3, B12, and folate (b6?), once a day)
4. Time, and constantly having stuff in my stomach/system seems to make it a lot less angry. Eat slowly, pretty much. ... Comments? Concerns? >_> It's annoying, but it's not like I'm at a job where I can't eat at a desk or something, and in class I can eat as long as it's not disruptive.
Long post is long. :|
tl; dr: gas making me nauseous for no damn good reason(?) and would like thoughts, comments, concerns, and advice on how to proceed, what's worked for people in similar situations, and oh, probiotics, how do they work?
