Oh what the hell, here goes nothing. I've haven't had constipation or diarrhea per se, although the consistency was always a bit softer and stickier than desired. Daily yoghurt consumption as a gut-probiotic has fixed this problem for me, although I still have to guard my sugar intake. High sugar intake destroys my gut biome (or rather, replaces it with sugar-eaters). Stressful days also seem to wreak havoc on my digestive system, e.g. the day of a job interview. Haven't found a fix for that yet, beyond mentally letting go (easier said than done sometimes).
- hanniabu 4y agoMight be worth asking a gastroenterologist for a hydrogen/methane breath test. Sugar sensitivity can be a red flag for early SIBO, and full blown SIBO is something that you'd definitely want to avoid if possible since it's difficult resolve and many aren't successful.
- bruce343434 4y agoI think it's more likely a side-effect of neurodivergence. I don't identify with the symptoms that google spit out, and autism is known to be correlated to a "mistuned" gut. I have been diagnosed with asperger, although that diagnosis has since been rescinded (no diagnosis to replace it however). All I can say for sure is that there is a deviation from normal in the way my brain works. And when I say high sugar intake, I truly do mean high. I can and will eat ~500g of candy in one sitting if I have unfettered access to it.
