I talked to a nutritionist and she just said to try going off of added sugars. No one has ever run a stool test and I’ve had issues for 5 years..

I went to Mayo Clinic for super awful gastrointestinal problems and they diagnosed me with brain-gut interaction disorder. Could be worth a google if you are looking for similar info.

Essentially my brain and gut (which has basically a nervous system of its own, many people call the gut the second brain) are super linked so when one of the two is not doing great, the other follows suit.

As someone with stomach and mental problems, this means I don’t feel great the majority of the time 🤪
