IBS and Training Ectomorph
Hello there, this is a bit of a long story but ill try to make it short.
Im currently 21 years old 6'1 and 142 lbs. About a year and a half ago I started working out and eating A LOT. The first 8 months or so I saw great change and was highly motivated and happy. I went from 140 ish lbs to 150. then suddenly I began getting recurringly sick. mostly flu viruses and stomach viruses. I trained as hard as i could in between these bouts of illness, but only managed to maintain my weight.
Then one day after a serious stomach flu, I noticed my bowels were not performing right. I thought to myself it would only be temporary but lo and behold almost a year has pased since then and I still have bad alternating constipation and diarrhea, and a very weak stomach.
SO all this has translated into a severe reduction in weight and hindered my training performance. i am now back down to 142 lbs. My IBS only seems to get better when I stop eating as much food as I need to increase my weight. This sucks, I just wanna know if anyone else has gone through something similar. ive had many tests done, and tried several probiotics to no avail. its lime my body and I are totally out of sync.
