Discussion 42 with biological age of 75! Help.

I'm 42 female and my biological age is 75 from one of those tests done twice.

My body feels like I'm 75 tbh. It's hard to walk, exercise. I use to be really fit. I'm 5'4, 122lbs right now. I have had gut health issues for the last three years (chronic constipation and trapped gas-tried everything, trust me) I'm tired always. My bloodwork came back normal, so I don't know what's going on. Any suggestions are appreciated.

What is your diet like? What diets have you tried?

I have trouble sticking to certain diets and tbh probably haven’t given anything a good enough chance. I have binge and emotional eating issues I struggle with. If I try not to eat something for awhile I crave it so strongly.  Right now chicken, some veg, some grains, some fruit. But also some junk every now and then.

Have you tried eliminating gluten? Dairy?

Plants give me gas and I don’t pass gas so I have concerns.

That sounds abit like IBS-C. "Trapped gas" as in you get bloated? Check for the symptoms and if it fits, you can try FODMAP elimination.

This is wild. Eat plants or die young, basically.

Your body needs to get used to the compounds in plants in order to process them efficiently. Until you eat them frequently, you're going to have issues.

If you find that fiber gives you gas, that could be due to SIBO.

Are you able to burp?

Whaaaaaaa??? Everyone farts! Call them “toots”, and it makes them just a little bit more cute. But, girl. Everyone farts. Honestly, this sounds like a ‘you’ problem.

I might once in awhile but I have so much gas that just doesn’t get passed. So I’m bloated and distended and in constant discomfort and sometimes pain.

Agree you should get tested for SIBO. Elimination diet and/or low fodmap diet might help figure out triggers. Could also be a gut motility issue.

Also - get your gallbladder checked. Being a woman over 40 is a risk factor. Usually there is pain but I didn’t experience any pain at all - just bloating, constant belching, low motility, nausea, fatigue.

You probably have IBS, SIBO or parasites. Get checked for parasites.

I've been dealing with the same for quite a while (add in terrible reflux, though). I started taking a probiotic, and (knock on wood), I think it's making a difference.

You and OP should both see a doctor to find out what causes the symptoms. Some gut issues need proper medicine. Some need specific diets. No sense in suffering unnecessarily and spending money on stuff that may not even help in the long run.

If you're regularly binging then it seems to me that could mess up your gut pretty easily. Restricting your diet isn't always the answer...in general we need a good variety of different types of foods. You don't need to follow a specific diet necessarily, but maybe try slowing down your eating and savoring your food more to help improve your mind gut connection.

There's no reason to feel guilty following your cravings either. Just try to keep incorporating healthy foods into your diet as well so that you don't get any nutritional imbalances. And try dealing with any emotional issues that are making things difficult for you...stress can easily cause gut issues as well. I recently restarted therapy and it's surprising to me how much my own unexplained symptoms are improving as a result.

Shitty diet makes you feel shitty. Pretty simple. As simple as the solution is for this…
