i know it is gross, but i'm loosing quality of life here.... this has been going off and on (in increasing in the number of episodes) for 1 1/2 months now. i eat VERY healthy. i eat whole grains, veggies, drink 100% fruit juice, eat lean meats. occasionally i will indulge in the rare bleached/enriched flour product, or even more rare, the occasional red meat product... but this is soooooo rare. it seems as though no matter what i eat i have an episode. i did used to put habinero sauce on my food. but since the episodes i've stopped (for obvious reasons). i stopped using the sauce fairly recently though, as it was not effecting me until recently. either way, i'm starting to feel very sick, and i can't go to the doctor because i have no health insurance. my husband and i are both broke college students. i drink plenty of water, never drink alcohol, and i quit smoking a year ago. i'm trying to decrease the amount of fat in what i eat (i've noticed a correlation in that area), but it seems as though if i have so much as a hot dog or hamburger i'm in the bathroom at least 4 times. and i'm talking low fat hot dog, and the burger was 80/20 made on the george forman grill. please offer me any tips you can! i drink water constantly, and eat tons of fiber rich foods. there is no explainable reason as to why this is happening. its not the way i prep my food either, b/c my husband is not getting sick. not litterally, constantly. i have my 64oz a day. no more no less. i'm really on the side of the fence that says one should have their 8 glasses of water a day. i've been like that my whole life. i'm 26, average weight, and this is the first time this has ever happened to me. i would think if that were the issue it would have happened years ago. plus dehydration can cause diarrhea i can't go to the doctor... no $$$ and no insurance. i just need to know what types of things could cause it, so i know what to avoid or get more of.
