Hey

I’m super sensitive to caffeine, fasting, artificial sweeteners ect and have really bad irritable bowel. Any tips on how to handle mood swings when I’m hungry?

Hi there,

Sounds like you’re asking two different questions:

A. Does anyone have any advice for how to manage IBS symptoms.
B. How to handle mood swings when hungry.

Which do you want help with? :D

Dr. Google says that Hypoclacemia is low calcium, and that up to 20% of folks have it. I don't know that I have it. I probably would qualify as having IBS, but haven't talked to a doctor about it. I was pretty sick for a few days just last week and I'm not sure which of two fast food items triggered it. Maybe it was simply the combination of the two. I get IBS like symptoms when I eat excess fat or sugar or with my period or when I'm nervous. So a lot. For this recent episode I used ginger, but mainly suffered through it. Yesterday I had migraine symptoms (which for me includes nausea) and a magnesium supplement (Yerba Mate tea for me) nipped it in the bud. Sorry for the discomfort.

Have you looked into fermented foods?

For diagnosed cases of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), Monash University in Australia is doing cutting edge research on foods with FODMAP: Fermentable Oligo-saccharides, Di-saccharides, Mono-saccharides, And Polyols. (A saccharide is a sugar.) By changing what I eat based on its FODMAP contents, I have found significant relief.
