Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Marla Sounds like you've thought of some of the potential gas-makers. I deal with bloating in my upper GI, not my lower GI, but gas means fermentation, which usually means our digestion isn't able to break down a food. It can also mean a bacterial overgrowth or mutation of some kind. In my experience two days isn't long enough to know whether you've identified the correct problem food or supplement. I'd give it 5 or 6 days, partly to get the food completely out of the digestive system, and then give the body time for things to settle back down. There are a lot of high-carb foods in 's menu. Anyone of them might be the problem, or it might be just too much in combination. Another thing that I noticed is that she's drinking distilled water. I have a very sensitive stomach and upper GI and I've learned I can't drink distilled water or reverse osmosis water. I have to use filtered water (spring, city or well). Granted your daughter hasn't had such a quick reaction to distilled water, but it might be something to consider if you don't find the culprit after testing the foods and probiotics she's taking. Kim M. SCD 5 years >>>>>>>>>>>>> Here's her basic food intake:chicken, beef, steak, pork chops, carrots, green beans, baked apples, ripe bananas, sometimes spinach, butternut squash, distilled water, monster cookie or pancakes made out of ground pecans with raw honey. She's on a multivitamin, probiotic, L-Glutamine, Paxil for anxiety, and an iodine pill. I've checked and all are legal. If you have any ideas what could be causing this really bad gas, PLEASE let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I agree with KIm sounds like something is not tolerated -is there a chance she might do intro a few days and put each back in 1 at a time??? eileen > > Marla > > Sounds like you've thought of some of the potential gas-makers.
