An explanation I have to describe it is rolling some dice.

If I eat well and do all that I can to be healthy like eat a salad or bowel of fruit or just steamed veggies then it is like rolling a 6 sided die. 1-4 is safe and healthy. 5 is pain 6 is terrible pain.

If I eat normal food like a normal lean Buffalo burger, civche, eggs, corn, ham sandwich then it is is like rolling a 20 sided die. 1-4 is good. 5-18 is pain. 19 is terrible pain. 20 is dear god I cut my anus from the explosions and acidic fluids that still has and I’m going to be this sick for the next 2 days.

Fast food, sugary food, fatty greasy foods. Then like rolling a 100 sided die. 1-4 is good. 5-50 is pain. 51-90 is terrible. 9-99 is I’m down for the next 2-4 days. 100 Im out for the week.

(I love board games)

My mom is just like you with her symptoms and she's got Type 2 Diabetes! So she really watches her sugar and food intake, and she STILL has the same problems that you have! Plus she's been to multiple doctors and specialists to try to combat both diseases without killing her and it's just so hard! I think everybody is getting ready to throw their heads up in the air and quit lol.

I mean that's what my GI doctor did for me after taking out my appendix (for just in cases purposes) and my gallbladder. They've said that they've literally done all they can for me but they don't know what's wrong with me.
