I broke my back as a child and had to have corrective spinal surgery 4 years ago. (I was 42 then)
They thought I had nerve damage before the surgery that was causing my digestive issues. Could that be the problem now?
(I had 5 broken thoracic vertebrae and ended up with a 12 level fusion.)
But why is it on such a timer? Why massive diarrhea and movement in the AM, then nothing in the evening or the night?
What the hell process could account for that?
(I’ve done gluten free, low carb, elimination diets -twice, low fat, no fat, no carb, no vegetation, blah, blah, blah... it seems that I’m being prescribed a new diet twice a year. I gut it out for 6 months, then give up.)
Thanks much for the info/reply.
I can relate to the fresh French croissant, country butter and jam story :)
Last time we were in Paris, one of the (many wonderful) restaurants brought over a “hive” of farm fresh country butter to the table. You just scraped off as much as you wanted! I was amazed at the site and then, of course, the taste of that butter.
I try to find kerrygold butter, here at home.
Excellent. Thanks!
The L4/5 control your bowel and bladder functions. Something may have shifted. This is a Virtual spine it touch a disc it will tell you what it controls. http://www.echiropractic.net/nervechart.htm
Symptoms can show up several years later.
But I’d still have the Gastric Emptying Test done. Because that sounds like classic GP, I bet you are losing weight too.
Diets don’t work with GP. Each of us is slightly different, and you have to learn which foods set it off the worse and avoid them.
