Bless you. Your videos are saving my life. I'm in a major crisis with either histamine intolerance or MCAS & am finding out the hard way of elimination what is doing me in. I can relate to the 9 months preggers bloating. I was sent to hospital with a belly so swollen I actually had to carry in my hands. The women on the ward were sure I was about to give birth & couldn't believe it when I said it was bloating. GI specialist had no clue & sent me home. No help where I live, without helpers like you I'd be on a journey to nowhere.
Little after 15 minutes I think helped answer a question. Thank you for your videos. I will continue this series. as you can tell I am excited to learn all I can.
Around 10 mins in you discuss what could cause the the issue and location. When you spoke of poor motility I thought of how dehydration could be a factor in this. I have a friend who brought to my attention that I could be dehydrated. I learned that the many ways this can happen. coffee, smoking, not drinking enough water, laxatives ( if they are being used because of constipation ). 2 key factors with this remind of 2 key problems here. Our food lacks lately a lot of magnesium. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but this leads to a chance of stress due to not having a way to calm the body, which is a domino effect and because magnesium is needed to help or aid other minerals including vitamin D and with these lack of minerals and anxiety the body is stressed, food does not digest properly and when the body is stressed it depletes nutrients we need daily to keep the body going. 2 there are many foods with sugar and sodium. Sugar will dehydrate our body and sodium is more like the refined salt that contains next to now benefits and will dry the body out. So so we have low amounts of water, we have salt in our body and lifestyle choices that are drying us out and minerals missing because of stress that the dehydration is doing to our bodies and this i can think causes poor motility and more or less stagnation of food sitting in our gut which causes sibo or worse in the first place? Am I close? I would really like to learn more and I think I am getting somewhere here. I do know that without magnesium we get so many problems and with food stagnation dehydration we are stuck in a roller coaster of inflammation, microbe imbalance, symptoms of brain fog, anxiety and stress and it keeps going round and round. Dang. Add daily stress we have already it really seems like a recipe for disaster and that having organic foods, Hot healthy soups like bone broth, etc are essential? If you do respond I would love to chat and see how close I am on this.
When you talk about Gluten intolerance. I am stuck because research shows that there is not one specific person that could be intolerant, but that every human is intolerant to cows milk and anything made from cows milk. We do not have have, nor make the enzyme to breakdown the lactose in milk like cows do. This is why they have a lactose free milk. Which this really funny to me because the lactose is still in there. It just broken down because the enzyme to break it down is also in there. People can drink that milk because they added it. I do not understand why they don't or cannot just add the enzyme into every day cows milk and dairy products.
Would dispute the point that "every human is intolerant to cow's milk" - because this is related to your ancestry. Before the advent of animal husbandry YES every man was likely intolerant to cow's milk, but after Europeans domesticated cows their population developed an adaption that allowed lactose persistence. If you are Asian then eating cow's milk is like eating nails, for someone of European descent it is eating a nutritious ancestral food which at least according to the statistics I have seen is readily digested. But anyway, I think that you have an interesting argument on the whole dehydration/magnesium hypothesis.
If I eat fast or when I am stressed, I feel like there is a tennis ball stuck in my solar plexus. I am actually feeling this right now as I write. If I press or massage that area, I will burb. The burping slowly relieves the pressure. I eat some candied ginger bc it's portable and easy and that seems to help some. Before all this began I burbed, like never. Maybe after chugging down a ginger ale or a bunch of mineral water (which I of course no longer do. ) It happens almost daily but never did until 3 years ago when this started. I have suspected a hiatal hernia from my reading, but could it just be gulped air? Everybody says that upper GI discomfort is a SIBO thing but it happens the moment that I swallow the food basically, almost like it's stuck. It is a feeling of pressure that eventually dissolves. Another thing that was new when the digestive issues and reflux (at night) started was late night snacking before bed and wearing a bite splint to stop teeth clenching bc of stress! I noticed that it causes me to breathe though my mouth and am now well versed on the horrors of mouth breathing and am working on that. Obviously the goal is to stop stressing so there's no more clenching.
@@boop5287 Hi. That's what my chiropractor said. He told me that my gallbaldder felt inflammed and that I most likely had sluggish bile. At one point I was getting pain in my right shoulder blade. He gave me some supplements to get the bile flowing and support the liver. Why do you say that the stuck feeling is connected, just curious why it manifests like that if you know?
@@alexxxO_O I found that LOTS of magnesium help a lot. I take a combo of mag citrate (which helps the body with elimination), mag glycinate which is super absorbable and mag maleate which helps with body pain. Lots of b-vitamins too which help with digestion and stress but are water soluble so don't last long in the body. If you do a search for videos on various b vitamins, they are pretty incredible and so necessary. I was recommended to try betaine HCL for low stomach acid but haven't..kind of scared of it. Also I do a lot of chewable DGL which is soothing and digestive bitters which I think are better than digestive enzymes bc they stimulate your body to digest food better rather than being something your body gets dependent on.I have tried soooooo many things. Hope this helps!
