    I think it would be nice if I buy some potassium bicarbonate. It should work. Right?

    I already have magnesium and I don’t want to spend money for premade electrolyte solutions.
    Also potatoes. 100g – 530 mg potassium.
    I’ll start using magnesium transdermally more often.
    I made a thread about my digestive issues.
    I went to see a doctor. He prescribed probiotics and told me to ‘avoid the foods that cause me problems and live my life’. I still haven’t tried them but they were ‘nice’ strands of probiotics.
    The problem is the digesion is kind of weak. That’s it. The more I eat the bigger the indigestion. Nuts are hard to digest. Gaining mass is hard as a result.

    I also have jaw dysfunction and inflamed salivary glands.

    Lindsay,

     Your post was really helpful. I’ve noticed I feel tired and foggy sometimes after eating. I also noticed I feel chronically stressed out. For example I’ll go exercising and even after that I would feel a bit stressed maybe anxious. Also I feel my sex drive is lower than normal and I’m 20 years old… So what you’re saying is extremely plausible. I was a stressed kid I think and I played a lot of games, sitting down. My parents stress me out a lot. My memory was not top notch also. Initially I linked sress to my breathing mechanics.
    Any tips and more information on the topic would be much appriciated. One thing I don’t get is how little cortisol leads to higher stress. I always thoght it was the opposite.
    Also which electrolyte is out of wack? Too little potassium or sodium?
     No blood at all. Just weak absorbption. HCL and eating a ton of lemons, vinegar didn’t help.

    I don’t think I have a problem with a particular type of food because I’ve tried eliminating a lot of foods and hadn’t had a change. No bread. Tried no carbs for a lot of time. I eat yogurt and eggs regularly. Eggs i find very easy to digest and I don’t have a problem with dairy. The only symptom is weak digestion. I don’t feel fatigue or anything. 

    I have asthma, sinusitis and poor posture which all deal with inflammation. Almost certainly is my intestine inflammed. But the cause remains a mystery to me. Maybe I also have SIBO, dysbiosis. 
    I think FODMAPS and fiber might be a little aggrevating. Since I ate celery, legumes, and green beans in a single day (a lot yeah) just to see how i would react. I felt the gasses and bloating. Transit time was faster. But who wouldn’t feel like thsi? Hmm
    I’ve tried eating lemons, vinegar and taking betaine HCL before every meal to see if its a stomach acid problem. It isn’t. So it must be poor absorption and transit time. 
    I found the power of glyceine and gelatin so I’ll try to consume more. It should repair the mucosa lining of the gut and act as a strong inflammatory. I’ll check your resources and gut smash in the meantime. 
    If I eat easy to digest foods poop still comes watery and there’s undigested fat I think.
