Gastrointestinal problems
Good day,
I am male, 49 years old, 173 cm / 74 kg.
I am physically fit (actually...), I run 10km 2-3 times a week, the health check in winter was completely fine, blood pressure 120:80.
But: for years I have had - actually continuously - gastrointestinal problems: diarrhea, bloating, fatty stool.
The whole thing escalated a few weeks ago when I had to take a medication (which almost never happens;
Diclo..... for inflammation of the tissue between the shinbone and muscle, according to the diagnosis).
In addition, I have been experiencing erectile problems for several months (completely new and very irritating) and often have very cold hands (I am usually rather "warm-blooded" and sweat more than I freeze.
Lactose and fructose intolerance are more than a suspicion; here I avoid all questionable foods as much as possible - but there has been little improvement
(less diarrhea, but consistently fatty stool and bloating). Last week, I did 1.5 water fasting days, which was good for my stomach; but already in the afternoon of the first day, I had headaches and quite severe limb pains, even though I drank liters of water.
The following days, I gradually reintroduced various foods: first bread, then bread with cold cuts, then fish with salad and so on; the "stumbling block" was the red wine test on the third day (strictly medical, of course...), which led me to the topic of histamine - but this is also just a suspicion; I would prefer facts......
Thank you for your response!
