Weetabix is seriously unhealthy. Processed shite full of sodium. Mind you they’ve probably upped their game on the sodium front nowadays. It’s still processed shite though.

Yeh and also pasta went at the same time.
I stood Infront of the fridge the first morning I had to give it all up and thought what the fuck am I going to eat? There’s literally fucking nothing to eat 
My breakfast was always toast and marmite with porridge and fruit. Like nearly my whole life. Then one day it was all just taken away from me. Like a stolen baby. I didn’t really know what to eat for a month or so.
The thought of smoked fish then provoked suicidal thoughts.

Hardly a half pounder with chips Derm.
Half a pounder with chips if done correctly wouldn’t t use any processed food. Weetabix is processed.

Did you take any Tests to see what was wrong with your stomach. I’ve been having this stomach problem for a while which seems to come & go. I’ve had all the relevant tests even a colonoscopy a couple of years ago which all came back clear apart from Internal piles and a small amount of diverticulitis.
I then changed my diet to a more high fibre diet. Stopped eating white bread etc. I do eat rice & pasta but only once a week. I’m just hoping it’s my diet & not some more serious.

Coming and going sounds like classic IBS and as far as I’m aware that’s what I have. Just management now really. It came and went numerous times then stayed for good. I’m not coeliac but I’m relatively wheat intolerant. Oddly enough though I can eat Indian grown wheat/flours no problem, so it’s likely to be GM and/or pesticide related.
Had every test known to man and nowt.
I had a number of serious operations then I had Giardia from the tropics and a parasite from Cambodia in close succession and to kill that lot they used proper nasty pasty antibiotics and I’m reasonably sure that it killed everything to do with any gut flora I had. Never the same after that.
I’ve tried to rebuild it but think it’s too far gone. Plus during all that I was nailing spirits which I attribute to it all.

I got Giardia once whilst trekking high up in the Himalayas. Spent a whole week in bed or on the toilet. I caught it through drinking water from a stream.

Yeh same, river water, it’s fucking grim and almost resistant to most antibiotics now. I tried the usuals and nothing, then they sent me to tropical diseases at the hospital and they gave me some really nasty shit which I think just nuked everything. I’ve met a fair few people with similar.

All my stomach problems started after I returned from a trip from India about 4 years ago. I remember just before I was due to fly home i got really bad toothache. A friend told me to buy some antibiotics from the chemist & take 2 tablets straight away. I still don’t know if that triggered the problem or something else.

Mines the same. Returning from a trip Cambodia, Thailand and Bali. Depends if they were broad spectrum antibiots too. For teeth usually Metronidazole/Flagyl which is horrible shit.
When I went to the hospital they gave me one giant round pill like a biscuit antibiotic. It was massive. Can’t recall what it was called but only tropical medicines at the hospital can prescribe it.

No it’s not rhouses. It’s like throwing petrol on a fire for some IBS. It can be the antichrist for a lot of cases.
Cankles-McJeggings Obviously it comes out full force, it’s pure fiber pulling out and capturing all the garbage from your intestines and gut, straight into the bog. Figuring out timing is crucial though, took me by surprise when I first started.
It’s the complete opposite of what I need. I would be seriously fucked up if I took that shit. I have and it fucking ruined me. IBS is a very broad term for many stomach complaints that no cunt really understands. I get fibre from any other places, the last thing I need or my stomach needs is a fibre bomb throwing in there.

It’s what suits your particular case rhouses. It might be something you benefit from but many cases need the opposite. Last thing I’d do is tell someone to get a load of that down them without knowing the whole story.
Cankles-McJeggings Going by your current diet, I would say it’s not needed.
But if you tend to eat a lot, and not the healthiest, there’s nothing like it to clean out the system.

Don’t get me wrong I know people who benefit from it and even swear by it. But for some it’s fucking madness to neck a load. It’s one of those health supplements that because an overload wouldn’t kill anyone it’s pretty much available everywhere. But the fallout for someone who has specific dietary requirements it’s not a good idea at all. Last time I had some I was ill for days.
