Bowels

For many autistic persons a problem and a half. I'm currently in 'can I get to the toilet in time ?!'  mode

  • I replied to you Alexa post, but was blocked. I'm unblocked now. Ironically, not my bowels though Joy

    I have all sorts of problems here, that have plagued me all my life but got worse.

    I did a FODMAP elimination diet. (Stop a load of food types, and then test each type one at a time), and worked out that I was lactose intolerant and a lot of other sugar types intolerant too. FODMAP is worth researching if you are kept awake by constant churning in your stomach at night - it's sugars fermenting producing gas. If you are also blocked up at the same time, it is awful. Night after night after night. Anyway, I have a stricter diet now - with the occasional treat that I accept that I won't sleep well after.
