Hi, I've been having some digestive problems going on for a while, I've been to a few doctor's but they clearly don't know what my problem is, and I couldn't afford the cost accumulated from their random testing, so I'm trying to work it out on my own.
My problem is a mixture of things, mainly, I have constipation... my stools tend to be dry and hard to push out (although I drink plenty of water), and more disturbing is that many foods aren't being broken down in my system. So far the list is Carrots, Walnuts, Pistachios, Avocados, Celery as well as other things, mainly nuts and vegetables but I also get weak and drowsy after eating meat, so I am assuming that I don't break that down well either, even grains and legumes that are high in fiber and protein make me drowsy (rice, kidney beans, lentils, etc.), I also have a swollen tongue (with teeth indentations on the sides) and it often has a white coating, and my appetite has been very low.
When I WAS going to the doctor they ruled out a few things, they ruled out colitis, anemia, lactose and gluten intolerance, and they also did a colonoscopy/endoscopy and took some biopsies which ruled out the possibility of any blockage or structural problem as well as H. Pylori and other bacteria.
So right now I'm doing a variation of the master cleanse along with RX grade digestive enzymes to break down whatever may be stuck inside me, and enemas to try to flush it all out, but as far as what my actual problem is, I have no idea. It could be a problem with my pancreas, or a low stomach acidity.
I mainly just want to hear your ideas as to things to try, either directly for my problem or for additional cleansing help before I go back to solid food. All ideas are welcome and desired.
