Hi, I hope you can offer me some insight into my problem. Sorry for some graphic descriptions.
It is to do with digestion and stool. I cant even remember for how long this has been a problem but I think for at least a year if not more but my stool is...hmm how to say sticky and not solid. It is never solid and it is not diarrhea but closer to that than solid.
Other symptoms maybe related: often bad gas, runny nose often (clear not green) and one nostrel is always blocked a lot but it changes from side to side, i feel tired a lot and often wake up de hydrated.
Some basic background on me..
I am a 27 year old male and I am pretty lean.
I exercise 5 times a week on average: cardio, calisthenics, yoga and walking.
My diet is on average
oatmeal, wholemeal bread, fruit, green tea, peppermint tea, rooboos tea, eggs, vegetables, salads, chicken, red meat once a week, fish, rice, brown pasta, dark chocolate, nuts and coconut oil, hemp protein powder and a small amount of cheese and a cup of coffee once or twice a week. I drink quite a lot of water along with teas in the day time. I take a multi vitamin, cod liver oil everyday and vitamin d and e a few times a week.
I have drank lactose free milk for a few months but it has not helped. I used to have a lot of dairy in the UK, full fat milk, yoghurt and cheese and have stopped that with exception to small amount of cheese but it has not made any difference.
I avoid processed sugar and foods and drink a glass of red wine two times a week on average.
I have moved from UK to Germany and am not able to see a doctor here until I sort out medical insurance etc so any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
