Thank you for taking the time to make suggestions for me. I have tried about every probiotic, including refrigerated one from the health food store. My issue is too much stool or nothing.
I've been so busy looking at Saturated Fat grams in foods, due to a sudden elevation in my LDL levels that I've forgotten sugar. Thanks for the reminder. I am working with a Gastroenterologist and am considering a nutritionist - I've always been my own nutritionist. Onward and upward. Sometimes I wonder if I should just stop eating. I won't. 🙂

I wish you all the very best! You sound well-informed and very caring. I hope you get the answers you need.

I would suggest looking at complex carbohydrates, like sugars and starches, for elimination. Also, another big inflammation problem is seed oils, such as canola, margarine, flaxseed, sunflower seed, etc. You might consider going keto, or at least low-carb, for a while to see if that works.

I've read a couple of studies on this. Basically, if you were prone to metabolic disease before COVID, it will activate it. Unfortunately, I'm not a medical professional (nor do I play one on TV), so I can't really interpret the science as much as a doctor can.
