Digestive problems

Symptoms Physical
#1

On propecia i experienced a slower metabolism. Off propecia for the first weeks i was feeling sick quite often and dident have alot of apetite at all. A year off propecia i developed allergies or intorlerance to foods that got progressevly worse untill 3 weeks ago when i started a no gluten diet.

Symptoms was bloated colons (lower stomach) indigestion and general discomfort in the stomach regions. Since i am tall and thin the bloating made me look like an anaconda after eating a gazell or somthing. however a no gluten diet got me back to almost no stomack / digestion problems at all within a week! unbelivable good results and i am very happy as it increased my quality of life alot.

I do feel that my stomach issues was related to candida a yeast fungus in the colon. And no gluten diet shut of all the fuel for the yeast fungus.

A yeast fungus normally cant get a foothold in a male body as easily as in women unless males experience hormone imbalances or impaired immune functions. In my case probably both imbalances and impaired immune system was a factor sincce i have low t and testicles not working properly (testicles part of immune system) Women get this more commonly since they have a natural occuring hormone imbalances due to their monthly periods.

On the weird part, when i had indigestion problems that finnally after half a week or so gave in and the colon started to move (going to bathroom) i almost every time feelt a huge increase in libido sometimes so big i had to jack off right after visiting the toilet in the bathroom. Trust me this has nothing to do with any weird fetisch on my part including toilets or similar :slight_smile:

Has any1 experienced something similar to this ?

Problems as i stated b4 are completely gone since no gluten for 3 weeks now, but do any1 know if theres a connection beetween testosterone, indigestion, candida or any other stomach/colon issue?

Thanks in advance.

Thats interesting. I’ve actually had similar problems with shits, and bacteria. Same symptoms probably that you and I and also many others have on this site. The diet seems like it is a good idea and makes sense it would work.
Also, me too I feel a lot better right after shit. My penis feels SO much better, fuller, bigger, more relaxed. I have usually just been attributing it to the higher level of relaxation in that region after a good shit. You just let it all hang out while you’re sitting on the pot, and I gues I have just thought IT RELAXES THE PROSTATE MORE so blood can flow better, and so then my penis feels normal again for a little while.??
And then its easier getting hard.
Anyway, this is why I think its just a serious serious form of prostatitis. But anyway, your hormone theory is interesting. I wonder about that too.

I have never been much of a cook. So for me this was hard since i eat out allot. Most cafees or lunch diners dont have no gluten foods on meny here in stockholm. However i can tell u the changes i made. Gluten is found in most grains. However all i did was take out pasta, bread, porridge, sauces made with flour. I change to eating potatoes and rice instead of the enormous amount of pasta i was consuming my entire life. I make sure theres no flour in preparing the dinners if i eat out. Cause rice and chicken sounds good but could be compromised by flour in the sauce or similar additives in the preparations.

So things u can eat basicly are: Potatoe, rice, fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat chicken turkey etc all meats are fine. Theres also lots of no gluten foods in stores that normally has gluten but have been taking out hence alot of ppl are intolerant to gluten. So if u canot live without bread this can be found with no gluten quite easily. However i did not like the taste of those i tried so far :slight_smile:

Most ppl are not allergic and just intolerant so the big stuff like no pasta and bread should do a big difference. 3 weeks in to this i feel its not harder to eat without gluten at all.

Benefit of any diet is u pay attention to everything so cooking for yrself becomes like something nice instead of a must do. so for me its all good i like preparing steamed vegtables for myself with rice and chicken in a cream sauce with permesan. Im turning into a gourmee :slight_smile:

has it made a difference thus far?

If u read my first post or another 2 posts on different threads :slight_smile: u will find that the no gluten diet completly negated all my symptoms within a week ! now 3 - 4 weeks in i still have no problems with digestion bloating etc no stomach issues at all.

Cheers.

has it improved your other symptoms from within, such as discomfort down low and around prostate and at balls, and other etc…?

#10

Unfortenatly not at all.

I do have low t and way low free T.

And my main symptoms are low energy and low libido. Think those are down to testosterone for me atleast.

For those who say you feel better after you shit. Don’t you think it is related to your prostate? I sure do. Maybe the prostate release an hormone when stimulated, sending a message to your Hypothalamus to produce endorphins, giving you a well being state. Just a guess, no scientific basis for what i am saying.

you are ridding your body of toxic crap when you have a shit , thats why it makes you feel better

With the disposal of finasteride , I began to have serious digestive problems .
Intestinal and stomach growling and borborygm , nausea , stomach pain , malaise , constipation or diarrhea … I excluded gluten and discomfort disappeared after two days of exclusion.
Then also some symptoms have faded .
Foolishly thinking that healed , I started eating fatty and heavy things , masturbating , and I even started to feel bad .
