Hi Katy,
Yes I still have my gall bladder. My son however, had his removed at 18. My symptoms don’t “seem” to be similar to his?
I do notice that my digestion is horrible right now. I also notice if I eat a bunch of crap (which I’ve been doing for about a month now unfortunately lol) that my digestion, for obvious reasons, is way way worse.
Used to be I could eat ANY thing I wanted. Never a worry or “symptom”.
Now it seems if I do that, I have horrible days with digestion for several days afterwards. From stomach pains, to weird headaches, worse pms symptoms, constipation, (or the feeling of it), bloating, and always always paired with mega gas lol.
I get relief on a bad day if I can actually PASS that gas haha!
Sometimes when it’s really bad and I feel that heaviness in my head, almost dizzy but not quite, and just an overall feeling of “something’s wrong”....almost like clockwork my stomach will start gurgling and I feel gas moving all around. When it passes most if not all of those symptoms go away or at least minimize.
After tons and tons of research I’m thinking it’s either Leaky Gut, IBS, or one of those digestion issues.
I tried to start yesterday on a short “fast” to clean up the gut (remove bad bacteria and replace at the end with rebuilding the good) but I failed miserably by around 4 pm and ate chips and queso and a roll of smarties candy....followed at 9pm by pizza hahahaha.
Today...the head is already “weird” and the gas remains lol.
I feel like if we are really REALLY in tune to our bodies and symptoms, many times the answer is right there.
I don’t believe that peri in itself causes the “actual” symptoms....but it’s definitley showing us that our bodies are changing and causing our other “things” not to work as well...in turn we have to turn our lives around, eating habits, stress control, sleep, etc., JUST to be able to handle all the “tired” organs that peri is messing up!!!! GAHHHH!!!
It’s so frustrating.
I had lost about 40lbs last year, (much needed). And for some reason I fell off the wagon and started eating bad again and see the weight slowly coming back.
Along with that regression in my diet...worse digestion.
It’s maddening!!
