I have suspected IBS and suspected Borderline (diagnosed MDD and Anxiety) and I swear to god my stomach health is related to my mental health. Correlated, perhaps, but there's definitely some sort of relation based on my experience. ps; probiotic yogurt makes me very happy

Borderline is rough. I feel for you!

Same with the yogurt; I'm actually planning to start taking probiotic supplements to simplify that aspect, as well as a fiber source called phylum husk. Sorry to hear about the Borderline. Just remember that mental health diagnoses are less rigid than traditional medical diagnoses. You've heard of mind over matter; mind over mind is even more effective.

  Take a look at VSL #3, a heavy duty probiotic. Also, check out partially hydrolyzed guar gum which has some promise for IBS. It is a prebiotic fiber (feeds your beneficial bacteria) and also like psyllium husk does not produce a lot of gas which is bad for IBS. Hope you feel better! :)

  I take a fibre powder I make myself, but there are premixed versions: Rice bran, oat bran, psyllium husk, ground linseed, and slippery elm powder. Typically equal proportions, but it varies depending on how much of what I’ve got left when it goes in to the mixing bowl. I also regularly buy not continuously take a priobiotic and / or Greek style unsweetened yogurt. Lots of Vitamin D. I also need to supplement essential fatty acids or my skin tears at the edges of my nails. Plus running and lifting heavy things. Also dogs. My dogs are well trained, they know our routines, and they make me laugh out load a lot!

This might sound crazy but if u are able to fast for 2-14 days straight it will help so much . It seems to have had a very long term effects . First try doing OMAD and see how u react . Basically fast for 23 hours and eat for one hour . If u think you can handle doing that for a week. do it a few days straight

  Fasting for 14 days does sound crazy. I remember hearing of a diet that simulated fasting though. Anyone has experience with that?
