Longcolin,

I do a lot of things differently now -- I had Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for anxiety and I can control it now at a school grade of B -- necessary as there is no firewall between my head and my gut. I eat bland food (vineger is out- when my gut was better it was in). I always have some fiber with a meal. I take methylfolate and B12 together as it seems to help my gut and energy levels. Slipperly elm inner bark powder with almost every snack/meal to provide slip to stool. Kiwi/rubarb compote at night as it has a stimulant effect, hopefully natural. Magnesium at night with 1 Colace brand stool softener. I sip more water; every MD says it matters and it does. I take Intolerans dietary enzymes with every snack/meal. I still have a limited diet but am doing better with small amounts of fish and meat. My gut needs a lot of support. I hope your gut is better, even if I sound like you. Note I am grateful to have come out in a decent way on this journey. And I am sure, in my case, I wrecked my gut when I was a sugarholic. I counsel everyone to eat better than I did. All my best!
