I try to stay within my allowable FODMAPs while camping but usually end up drinking too much alcohol and eating too many carbs. I make sure to switch the carbs up to keep them FODMAP legal but my body just doesn't seem to handle them well. Oh and I forgot to take my low dose Erythromycin 2 out of the 3 nights and realized just how much it helps keep things moving. I just come home looking 6 months pregnant. Ugh, do I hate that. So I am back to low carb, mod protein and higher fat, and looking much better.
When I got back I switched to 4 meals every 3 hours which I probably shouldn't do but I just can't seem to eat enough to stay full for 4-5 hours between meals. I'm going to make at least one or two of my meals a well blended smoothie so at least it digests quickly (my ND at the SIBO center recommended this previously). When I try to have such a huge gap I just end up getting panicky and then eating a bunch of stuff while waiting for my meal to be ready. The quickest thing to grab is nuts and my digestion just doesn't seem to handle them well, especially when I eat a lot. Mac Nuts are FODMAP legal up to 40grams, that's 1/3 of a cup! This is where I get my mac nuts, by the way, very expensive but by far the best I've found.
On to the marijuana, because I know I peaked your curiosity. Where I live recreational marijuana is now legal so I thought, hey, maybe it would be better on my gut to get my buzz on with a bit of weed. Thankfully I did some good ole internet searches before I purchased any. Turns out in all studies done marijuana slows intestinal motility. My motility is already slow enough, thank you very much. So I guess I'll just have to practice breathing, meditation and tapping and keep my cool that way. Bummer!
And speaking of prokinetics. Has anyone tried Resolor? It's more expensive than Erythromycin and I'd have to order from Canada but maybe it works better???
