I've been thinking recently about vegetables. When I am talking about vegetables I mean bell peppers, onions, garlic. I have a minor dull ache in my lower right side which has been going on for months, coming and going. I believe this is bowel inflammation of some kind, and appears when my bowels are not doing well.
I need to test further but I am sure when I eat a meal a day with say rice, meat and heavy on those vegetables 1-2 bell peppers, 1-2 onions cooked in with it, my bowel movements increase, the pain goes away. The bowel movements are usually very soft though, lots of wiping, sometimes smelly. I am not sure if this is a positive change, despite the lack of the dull ache.
I have been wondering if the increase bowel movements are from increased serotonin from irritating my gut however, as I am not sure I feel 100% "right" when I am like this. Perhaps increased serotonin, perhaps endotoxin from fermenting vegetables?
I then came across a post from @Strongbad, which is almost identical to my situation. A dull bowel pain which was relieved by the same sort of meals, rice, veg, meat.
So I'm Currently In South East Asia
I am starting to think vegetables have a more solid place in my diet at the moment. I need to test whether 150-200g mushrooms per day would be enough to get the benefits of reducing bowel inflammation, while not getting the other perceived serotonin, endotoxin symptoms. Which I am not even 100% sure are there.
