QuestionSorry for the indelicate nature of this question but I thought you might know-I cant find a good answer anywhere!
I suffer from IBS and an inability to lose weight. I am a 55 year old guy.
I discovered last summer that cutting out red meat really helped my symptoms especialy the bloated belly.
As a new years resolution I decide to go vegetarian. I have gone off the wagon a few times but I am doing OK.
I am seeing lots of benefits even losing weight. I am wondering about bowel movements.
Mine are very nice now but every couple days I will let go a very small, hard, one. My vegetarian friend says that is 'impacted matter probably meat'. It was this stuff putrifying that was contributing to the big belly.
Whats your opinion?
Also what can I take or eat to clean out my system? High fibre cereal for some reason doesnt do a thing for me.
Thanks and happy new year!
AnswerWithout having a large amount of knowledge about your health, there are some things that I have found generally to work well with IBS based on what my clients have told me:
1. Wobenzyme at each meal. All enzymes are not the same quality. You can test an enzyme, if you want a less expensive one, by pulverizing it to powder and letting it sit on top of some cooked oatmeal. After several hours, you will see the oatmeal liquify to some extent. You can use baby food to test it as well.
2. Ultimate Flora probiotic 5 billion with FOS kept in fridge taken as directed on the bottle
3. Saccharomyces Boullardii taken as directed on the bottle. If it constipates you with the dosage on the bottle take less.
4. Dr. Natura Colonix program
