Fed up taking different things for my system.

[OldTimer74]

So, I dropped everything that I was taking and ate small and three times a day. I had a small helping of fruit ( maybe half a small apple or pear)after each meal. I have to keep things flowing because I have an inguinal hernia that I have been waiting an age to have fixed. Things have been better without the wet poos that I was having so we shall see what the future brings. I am a licensed amateur radio ham and speak to lots of people from many walks of life and it seems like the present state of the world plus the different things that is sprayed onto our crops are having an effect on us all. We all seem to be going in on ourselves, I live in a country area and the traffic in the lanes around here has more or less stopped. We all seem to be going in on ourselves and that obviously causes tension and I`m sure this pandemic is having a big effect on myself and others around me. Wonder what others think?

There is a disruption to what people normally expect from life - to walk out of your door and feel safe, even in a crowd, be able to meet up with whomever you want, wherever you want. This is going to cause tension and can affect people's IBS. Some will find all of this more difficult than others. If you are an introvert, having an excuse to have some time to yourself might be a blessing, for extroverts this whole experience is going to drive them mad and then there is the in between. Let's hope that this time next year we're not having the same discussion. At least that's something to look forward to.

I went to a wonderful dietician years ago she told me I could be fruictose intolerant and when I stopped taking fructose containing foods I improved apples and pears have fructose in them and other fruits and vegys that contain fructans hard to eliminate them all hard to do but fruits and vegys aren't good for us all. Hope this helps.

Indeed apples are on the red list on many medical 8bs sites. Fructose and citrus fruits for me a no go!!!
