I’ve been killing myself trying to figure out what’s going on with my gut. I have a sensitivity to SOMETHING but elimination diets aren’t pinpointing the source. Has anyone used one of these type of tests? My doctor said it’s a scam but I figured the internet wouldn’t, no… COULDN’T lie to me. Thanks Lemmings!

    Have you seen a gastroenterologist rather than your primary general doctor? Specialsts tend to be more proactive and aware of the current state of the art.

      Yes, he’s great. I’m just looking for other options to nail down my issues.

        Good wishes to you in your quest! I assume they’ve ruled out IBS? I have some sensitivities (dairy being the main one) but was stumped on why it seemed to come out of nowhere even without them. Turns out my guts just hate the world 😄 Psyllium fiber helps a lot but doesn’t solve everything.

          My issues are up top, bottom half seems fine. We thought my issue was soy but over time the bad stuff came back and now I’m back at square one ugh.

          Your guts hate the world but surely the world doesn’t hate your guts 😜
