Hi folks,
I am 1.5 years in now, struggling with daily bloating. Stuff happened for me at age 66. It is possible that COVID attacked my gut, and then after my L4-5 spinal laminectomy/fusion, it just put my gut over the edge. That is looking back retrospectively, of course and only a theory. But at that time, I experimented with food restrictions, adding in low FODMOP's, etc. The only thing I've learned from all of it is that I cannot tolerate any foods ending in "ol." Erithrotol, etc. I developed gastroparesis and currently suffer from that. As soon as I wake up and have either water or tea, the bloat begins. And for me, it's more than that as I experience pain when walking, my favorite exercise.
