So hello all,
I've been lurking here and slowly trying to understand the whole peat paradigm for a few weeks now, and I thought I could present myself and ask for some help.
So I'm 25, male, french, engineer. For 3 to 4 years I've dealt with IBS with almost no real working strategy except Imodium when needed, and I've had what seems to be either overactive or stressed bladder. I'm currently quite overweight and I'd like to lose around 10 kg. I also struggle with mental health a bit.
For more details :
My ibs is rather ibs D, I mainly suffer from loose stools, multiple times a day, urgency feeling. I've found my main problems are generally fibers, especially insoluble fiber. If I have to travel, which is the hardest thing for me, I will go on almost all rice diet for a few days, + lots of Imodium. It works but not very optimal, and I tend to just not do much.
For my bladder, I got two drugs which help me, my main trigger is caffeine.
I'm currently trying to get into the peat lifestyle : daily carrot salad, more OJ and less starch, limiting PUFA. So far it seems my intestines are ok with that, but if you have advice on this part, I'm very interested in hearing it. I've also added some supplement for my ibs : glycine, collagen powder and L-glutamine. Not sure if these are helping and which one.
Anyway, I'd like to thank you all, this forum is very interesting and there is a lot to dig in, almost addictive.
Have a nice day.
