I do bcp 157 and hgh to help heal after a flair up.

In my case I have Crohn's so I don't absob iron well.
I spend a lot of time making sure I avoid overly processed food.

Lean chicken, white rice, green juice in place of veggies as the fiber rocks me.

Make sure you are getting your trace minerals.

I can't do nut butters, I can tolerate butter so I often get extra calories that way.

I have never been diagnosed but have suffered with many gastro issues over the years. Here is a couple of things you can try that has helped me.
Peppermint caps after meals, keep them in the freezer so they don't dissolve until they get all the way down.
Slippery elm bark 20 min before every meal.
Vitamin c 3000mg a day
Probiotic Pearls 1ed.
Zinc carnosine (pepzingi) 1pill am and 1 pm.
Tudca 500-600mg before bed.
Good luck brother, this shit sucks....no pun intended Smile

Make sure you eat things that agree with your stomach and the ones that don't quit eating. Increase frequency of food and eat a meal before bed. I'm guessing your very lean and underweight. When you sleep you have to have calories in your stomach. If you don't you will gave a real bitch of time gaining any weight.

I eat everything very bland,, always have ,, so that works out in my favor,, but the occasional pizza,, tomatoes sauce ,kills my gut... did 6 months on gh helped out alot but at the same time shredded me which is ok , but I have the anorexia complex of always being under weight which I'm not,, but always fighting to gain weight without causing any flare ups. Always eat an hour before bed ,, I know it's not the best thing but it does work

I feel horrible for you. My wife has crohn's and I have watched her suffer for years. Our only protein source is basically chicken because any red meat will make her absolutely miserable. Her gut would swell up so bad at times that it looked like she was pregnant. We finally found her an amazing probiotic that has been a game changer. Not all the probiotics we tried worked. What ever is in the brand is amazing. She was on all different kinds of prescription meds that never did shit. Don't get me wrong, she still has bad days but not near as many as she used to. As far as will they how you and I would need them to. I'm not sure. She still doesn't process food very well. I'm just speaking in terms of symptom relief and the gut swelling.

I don't think that squirrels burying nuts has anything to do with 'fermenting' them (which would require some form of yeast).https://animals.howstuffworks.com/mammals/squirrels-really-organize-nuts...
