Yeah. If I could impart advice on anyone, it's that if your shit isn't "good" (a nice, clean Type 3 or Type 4), you need to sort your shit out. In retrospect, my BMs were never "great" in the past couple years and ... I clearly should have done something about that a long time ago. It's likely whatever was wrong with me was brewing for awhile, and just triggered into something severe when something pushed it over the edge.

What a fun when doctors ask you to keep a stool record. > It's likely whatever was wrong with me was brewing for awhile, and just triggered into something severe when something pushed it over the edge. I can't back it up with any evidence but my feeling is that a combo of stress and too healthy food (for me) triggered my gut crisis. What I mean is that I started to eat food that was too rich in GOS, and also fructose, just before my problems started.

I'd been trying to eat healthier for the past couple years, slowly cutting back on dessert/sweet foods, eating more vegetables and fruits. Even started doing green and fruit smoothies this year. But yeah, under the FODMAP theory a lot of fruits could ferment in the gut, some vegetables too, and beans, a staple of a healthy diet, are probably the prototypical high-FODMAP food. I'm not sure what the moral of that is ... I guess ... don't eat healthier because it might kill you? shrug The gut is a weird beast.
