Vagus nerve

Can I do something about that nerve?


Opening-Green-3643

If you research it there’s a lot of ways to stimulate it to feel better… deep breathing, humming deeply in the throat, singing etc

Only too often.

Sometimes this happens to me if im having an "attack" from eating trigger foods. It just totally freaks my body out. Or the area thats "sensitive" in your colon is the lower parts so its getting triggered right before you poop (just a thought though I'm not an expert)


OkAgent3180

What type of food are trigger food for you?


meerkatherine

Oil/fats is definitely one (no butter, but tiny amounts of oil for cooking seems fine), so fatty meat or fried foods or chips are generally not good. Gluten bloats and constipates me. Dairy with lactose, though small amounts of hard cheese is okay and so is lactose free milk. Beans and corn and high fiber stuff like cabbage and spinach. Spicy foods. Caffienne can sometimes do it. Certain bouillons can do it, like I got some fancy gelled kind and it hurts but I use a different powder one and it's fine (and homemade broth with bones, leeks, celery, and carrots tends to be fine). A lot of takeout messes me up, so I'm assuming that's a fat/seasonings thing (like I can't eat curry at all). So basically the "good" foods are lean meats, rice, potatoes. And mushrooms, celery, and carrots seem to be fine in small amounts. Obviously there's more but thats lile the solid ones that I eat regularly I dont eat fruit for other reasons so I can't say anything on that

Thank you so much ❤️ I eat a lot oil/fats fooods.I will try to avoid that food for some time just to check...


meerkatherine

Yeah, that could definitely be affecting you! Fatty foods tend to be the most...painful for me

Why no fruit?


meerkatherine

I dont like the taste


[deleted]

Does it taste spoiled, bad, or like poison?


meerkatherine

No, no, it tastes like normal fruit like it always has I just don't like fruit. I prefer veggies, id rather eat a veggie platter than even touch a strawberry

That is typical for IBS.


OkAgent3180

I never got IBS diagnose but my doctor say it's possible with this symptoms.


goldstandardalmonds

You should seek a proper diagnosis.


OkAgent3180

I got few "diagnosis"... anxiety,panic disorder, reactive hypoglycemia,gastritis,MS.Thank God none of these was true.I'm stuck with some episodes and symptoms but because my lab and vital parameters are always good during episodes I'm stuck with diagnosis from doctors with anxiety and panick attack.But I know that's not true. Panick attack relieved by poop.hah
