Hey guys so lately I’ve been having a crazy amount of food sensitivities. Seems like leaky gut to me I dunno what is wrong or what to do. It seems every time I eat sugar, onions, garlic, and anything with soybean oil my stomach is beyond wrecked. I’m talkinh about that gas that doesn’t even seem like it came from a human being like non stop gas that can kill an entire army. I used dgl licorice, various probiotics which made it worse. I also have been taking proclisec which I know is awful for gut health. I take betaine and digestive enzymes every meal
Also. Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

I would try to limit my intake of the foods that cause you problems.

the gas comes form fermentation and/or gut microbes. you might find some probiotics designed to help with foods that are presenting as more difficult to digest (causing gas).

good luck

Cutting out foods feels like a loss. I cannot tolerate gluten or cows milk products. Then of course the things that they say are bad for UC. My mother was extremly ill from celiac's disease, and allergy testing revealed around 20 foods beyond gluten that she had to cut out. It will feel more worth cutting them out if you feel well again. Over time, my mother has been able to eat small portions of some of the foods that she previously could not. I hope you get some relief!

What are you taking to treat your UC? What is the current involvement? Perhaps you're under-treating. Of course, if something makes you worse, don't eat it, but if you're dealign with severe inflammation and you're only using a few OTC supplements and diet, you may continue to suffer regardless of how much you restrict your diet. I hope you have luck with your current treatment plan - i'd personally go to a GI and get some options lined up.

Ask for an h. Pylori blood test.

Have stool sampling done.

I've been in your situation, where so many foods caused problems it was really hard to figure out what to eat. I agree that having a stool test could be useful, in case you have an infection. That was never true for me but worth trying.

Have you ever figured out what "safe" foods are for your gut? I always go back to these for a day or 2 when things get wonky and my gut calms down.

Are you sure the betaine and other digestive aids are OK gut-wise? I tried several and some caused symptoms and others did nothing. The fewer supplements I take the better my gut acts, but that's my gut not yours.

Resistant starch really helps my gut, potatoes in all forms and some types of rice (not all).
Cutting out sugar (in all forms including alcohol and fruit) can get your gas under control.

I still eat things my gut objects to and pay the price but it doesn't wreck my life any more.
Good luck.
