My GI felt I needed a total "reset."That is, I needed to completely clear my bowels and start again to end this vicious cycle. HOWEVER, he didn't recommend a low fiber diet as that too would make things worse. Adding fiber on top of constipation, however, is asking for pain, he explained. He said a high fiber diet is great IF you're not already constipated. My GI said because I eat so much fiber, that causes even more fermentation and bloating. My high fiber diet is part of the problem, however. My diet is primarily vegetables for crying out loud! ![]() I eat well over 70g of fiber per day and drink a minimum of 50-ounces of water. HOW *I* AM CONSTIPATED is a real head-scratcher. He explained that food is literally stuck fermenting in my gut, and that fermentation causes gas, which is trapped, hence the huge balloon belly. The new GI I'm seeing said my big belly was the result of chronic constipation. Symptoms I am still having:A GIGANTIC HUGE BALLOON BELLY (severe bloating/distention), persistent constipation, a general inability to empty bowels daily, and nausea/low back pain/leg swelling if I am constipated for multiple days. Symptoms I STOPPED HAVING after H pylori treatment:persistent stomach aches, dull pain, burning pain in the abdomen, severe abdominal pain ("lightning" shocks that tore through me), "fire in the belly" burning sensations, SEVERE abdominal pain when my stomach is empty, black/tarry stools, rotten onion smelling stools, nausea, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, chronic lower back pain, insomnia (due to pain), hiccups, burping, bloating after meals, headaches, unusual weight fluctuations, feeling like I have the flu (especially after a BM), skin itchiness (mostly around my ribs), and others I'm forgetting. UNFORTUNATELY, it did not eliminate all of my tummy troubles :( :( SYMPTOMS This means my treatment protocol worked!! (I'll share what I did EXACTLY below)Įradicating H pylori, and subsequently healing the ulcers caused by them, eliminated several of my digestive pains and symptoms. HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: My recent stool test came NEGATIVE for h pylori!! You can read my original post here , or watch my video on Instagram here. Back in December, I was diagnosed with h pylori, a serious bacterial infection in the stomach that causes ulcers.
