About Me
To abbreviate things: I started having symptoms, enterolab said IgA of 24, went gluten free for 8 months, improved slightly, colonoscopy/endoscopy/every other test you can imagine came back negative, took antibiotic for SIBO and improved marginally, Celiac gene test came back negative and standard GI put me back on wheat. After a couple months I still feel the same. "IBS confirmed."
*Sigh.*
Next up will be a gluten/dairy/grain free alkaline diet, as well as dealing with bacterial dysbiosis, yeast and overall body pollution.
Health aside I'm 19, I just finished my freshman year of college and am finding myself moving in a direction I never would have seen before, making appointments with alternative doctors and reading about techniques and theories I previously would have condemned as witch doctors and the snake oil they peddle. Funny how you can have so much faith in western medicine, and SO much skepticism for everything else until you've been prescribed a bunch of pills and stress relieving strategies...
I play frisbee, I listen to Atmosphere, I lift weights. Rinse, repeat.

ARCHIVED Getting The Intestines Back Into Good Shape
IChaseFrisbees replied to IChaseFrisbees's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks for the excellent replies, I know number 7 sounds gross but I feel like the way I've been living is even grosser. That is a good idea about adding what I have done and how it's affected me, I'll compile that and throw it on here. Think I stand a chance of getting better? Thanks, -Jesse -
ARCHIVED Getting The Intestines Back Into Good Shape
IChaseFrisbees posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hey everybody, since getting my IBS diagnosis this summer I've been around forums specifically for that (since I've been eating wheat after collapsing on the GAPS diet.) It's all a long story, but basically I got worse on GAPS and my doctor doesn't really want anything else to do with me because he has no more ideas. The people on the IBS forums however... -
ARCHIVED Vegetarian & Celiac
IChaseFrisbees replied to xEmmaa.'s topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I'm somewhat of the opinion that foods in their whole and natural form are the way to go, though I suppose with things like peanut butter and yogurt it's somewhat debatable. I would look into a book called Nourishing Traditions, which has a lot of good recipes and information, but the biggest thing is that you should soak your grains before eating them to... -
ARCHIVED Any One Hv To Drop Out Of School To Get Better?
IChaseFrisbees replied to cyoshimit's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I had to take a quarter off last year and I will again if I have to (knock on wood.) The depression is the worst; feeling crappy made me want to stay in my room all the time. I stopped going to class, then I stopped going to the dining hall, then I stopped leaving my bed... I'm back in school this year. The hardest part is the social aspect; I wish... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi all, I'm having a rough time digesting fats and meat broths have been too much for me. I'm wondering if the often mentioned bone broth might be okay? I'm thinking that if it's just boiling bones (not whole slabs of meat or entire chickens) and drinking that with the marrow in it it wouldn't have all the fat content of the broths I previously made from... -
ARCHIVED Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut And Meat
IChaseFrisbees replied to IChaseFrisbees's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Thanks for the reply, I don't have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies. I do not eat only fresh meat though, I've never thought about it. Most of it is fresh, though I do eat some sausages with only safe additives (spices, salt/pepper, no nitrates or nitrites, all grass fed meat.) I do have a tendency to overeat at each meal, I miss the feeling of being... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi there, yeah I tried the naturopath plan (candida diet + endless supplements.) I felt normal crappy and hungry! The new doctor I'm seeing is a pretty interesting guy, he bases all of his work off of the books Nourishing Traditions and the GAPS. When I talked to him about digestive enzymes he said he doesn't use them unless it's totally apparent that... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm of the opinion that gluten is bad for everyone, so I'm not considering going back to it (maybe not ever) I just meant I don't have celiac- the blunting of the villi etc. Gluten was definitely an issue for me, just not so much an autoimmune one. I've been feeling better yesterday and today, though I've been eating a lot of cooked apples. I hope I... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Gas, bloating, loose stools of all colors (usually pale), usually thin and ribbon-like, going 3-7 times a day, incomplete evacuation every time, minor cramping. -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I just don't know...I don't fit the Celiac description really; after 7-8 months gluten free I spent a month eating everything on my (former) doctors advice; pizzas, burgers, cakes etc., and I felt better for that month than I feel now. I've never had mal absorption or any deficiencies, I don't lose much weight...I mean, anything is possible, but based on... -
ARCHIVED Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut And Meat
IChaseFrisbees posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Alright, before I pose this question, you have to know that I'm the biggest meat eater you can imagine. Even before I got any stomach problems, I could easily eat 6 meals in a day; 5 of them would have meat, and all 5 of those would have more meat than veggies. When I went gluten free and now that I'm on the SCD I eat endless amounts of meat a day, I can... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Ugh, so after some rotten experiences peanut butter is out, as are eggs and almond flour based baked goods. Can I get by with just meat, veggies, nuts and (eventually) fruit? I'll be eating fermented veggies as well. I just don't really get it, all I have is dysbiosis and minor candida, all the docs say this diet should do wonders for me but now on my... -

AliB, The fat goes through me pretty much undigested. I get D that's pure grease, and any stools I have are unformed, break apart instantly and float near the top of the water. I talked to my doctor today and he basically put me on the later stages of the GAPS/SC diet, skipping the broth stages and moving on to meats, eggs, veggies, nuts and small... -
ARCHIVED Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)
IChaseFrisbees replied to AliB's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Hi there, I had been on a candida diet for about 6 weeks prior to starting this new plan, so I' had already experienced some die-off. It really seems like the fat is killing me...I think you're right about starting out low, I just need to talk to the doc before I make any changes. But this is relatively common then?
