You are speaking a lot about Gas now....
No Dairy.....period.....you have a diagnosis of LC now, you can't break the Casein protein in any dairy down now, and perhaps never. If I get any dairy it gives me bloating and gas every time and I have been on a strict diet for 3 years now.
I feel your struggle when it comes to how you may have grown up and relied on BAKED goods as a means of eating. This is tough because too many baked items can give lots of gas, grains are hard to digest, the butter which is dairy is a no-no now, and the sugar that is added to baked items whether it is cane or a fruit all contributes to GAS. There is not much health benefit to a baked item unless you can make it with, a butter substitute like Earthbalance, or Melt, a grain substitute like Almond/Coconut flours and enough protein (nut butters, chicken eggs-which you might be reacting to at this time). I use Duck Eggs and you might be able to eat these also.
I'm sorry your country (or maybe it is yourself based on what your Dr is telling you) that you do not believe in the HCL Betaine, as it has helped me a lot and if your foods are fermenting at all in your stomach then you seriously need to consider how you are going to increase your stomach acid so you can help your body digest your food. This leads to constipation by the way...if you can not break down your food well enough the intestines sure aren't going to be able to do this as they are having a hard time as it is with the LC so you could use the extra acid at this time.
Also if you are giving yourself good doses of Magnesium and VitD3 daily this will help with many things going on within your body, such as brain fog, muscle weakness, constipation, relaxing the muscles everywhere and this is important when it comes to migraines, it is a proven fact from the National Institute of Health that those of us that have migraines NEED Magnesium very badly. I can attest to this as I have had migraines since I was 16 years old and I am 50 now, and I rarely get them since beginning my magnesium protocol. IT WORKS
If I over do it now days and I start to get a glimmer of a headache I will up my magnesium and usually use some external lotion and rub it on my face, neck and shoulders at least 2 times a day plus take my internal magnesium!Ares, we are all different and we all comes from different cultures and backgrounds, but one thing is clear....we didn't ask for this Colitis but we all have had to make major DIET changes in order to heal and it comes down to mostly how I posted above. I'm so sorry if you are butting heads with yourself on how you should approach this and also because you trust your Doctors too, I get it that you are torn as to how to proceed right now. One thing I do know is the DIET WORKS, I hope you trust what we have all been saying enough to give it a try.
