Interesting about your food/energy statement.

Have you considered that your gi tract may be lacking enough digestive enzymes and probiotics? As people age they produce less digestive enzymes so food isn’t broken down as much and you get less energy. Also if you’ve had antibiotics your gut bacteria is probably out of whack unless you’ve done a good job replenishing it with probiotic good bacteria.

You might also be a good candidate for cold laser therapy for your muscle pain/body pain.

That is a good point, however I have taken ‘super food’ that was supposed to be broken down mostly, easily absorbable, and packed with nutrients supposedly- and took them for a long time- but never noticed much if any difference- I do only have small intestines- and stomach has been sewn closed in a spot and bypassed in another due to the Crohn’s- so yeah, I’m sure the digestive tract isn’t helping things- but like I mentioned, having been on the super foods and not seeing much difference is one of the things that made me think there perhaps is a problem converting food to energy

When I was younger, right before the first Crohn’s surgeries- I was in hospital for a month and 1/2 and being fed intravenously, and still I had the burning muscle pain all the time which I’ll describe below- That was bypassing the digestive tract altogether-

The pain In the muslces is like a lactic acid burning pain- constant- never stops- even at rest- (which was another reason I felt the issue was energy conversion problem- it would seem to me that if I was converting food to energy efficiently, the muscles wouldn’t be feeling the acid burning pain- especially just sitting around resting-

I dunno- it’s been a long hard exhausting as well as exhaustive and frustrating journey not beign able to find the answers-

Hadn’t heard of this- I’ll check into that
