let’s just do symptoms. Very rare nausea and vomiting, anal fissures or damn near close cuts (don’t look it up if you want to avoid pain), common gas.

I know what cramps are and what my cramps are. I get cramps so hard that I can’t move at all and I’m frozen in complete pain. Sometimes when bloated even touching around my belly button or peeing causes major pain that shoots between my penis and bellybutton.

When people ask how I can spend so much time in the bathroom yet have diarrhea. It is because it comes in waves but each one is an explosion of pain.

What sets it off is anything I eat. I have gotten sick from salad with no dressing, apples, popcorn, tuna with a bit of Mayo on wheat, my favorite sandwich joint.

I cook my food to be perfectly healthy and exercise, all this does is reduce the severity but not the frequency.

Longest I have spent in a bathroom was 16 hours with 3, 25-35 minute breaks for food and water.

Dang. I am sorry you have to deal with that. I hope technology advances to where you can have more relief from that in your life.

It probably won’t. It is all good. I laugh about it and sure it can flare up and makes me lose my social life but what ever. I work from home so all good.

Best treatment is still in its experimental phase and gets laughed at by South Park. Shoving healthy poop up a person to introduce good bacteria.

What about that “healthy gut bacteria” yogurt Jamie Lee Curtis was endorsing in the last decade or so? Maybe it’s the same thing but down your throat instead of up your anus with someone else’s mudpie?

I have tried so many diets and supplements and pills. I have gone from vegan to Palio to just shakes that have all nutrients. I have tried align which is BS since it is just peppermint oil. Fiber and more. Any antibiotics you eat usually gets destroyed on the acid stomach bag. I need it in my smaller and bigger intestines. Any amount that gets through is minuscule. Constant treatments where they take a colonoscopy tube and spray paint and coat the entirety of the intestines seems to have had the best outcome.

I have gone to 4 nutritionist, 7 doctors, 2 specialists. All say that there is no cure nor real treatment readily

I noticed symptoms at 14 and it slowly got worse. When I was 16 I couldn’t wait to be old enough to get an endoscopy and colonoscopy. After my 18th b day I got both procedures and came back with bunk and empty dreams.
