Hi everyone, first time here and would really love some advice. I’ve been doing a very strict elimination diet for weeks now. I’m only having fish or beef (wild or 100% grassfed), broccoli or cauliflower, and water. Bone broth has just recently begun giving me some problems so I cut that out for now to see.
I’m on this diet after finishing out I have autoimmune gastritis. Strangely though, my lifelong battle with constipation, anxiety, and (for the last 14 years) severe RLQ pain and tenderness have magically disappeared after this diet. By the way the RLQ was unrelated to the constipation (which is what doctors always told me it was caused by), because on this diet the pain went away first while I was still very constipated from transitioning to no grains/fiber. Then a week or so later, my bowels began to function amazingly. Any insights on that would be interesting.
However, recently I tried to expand my diet because I was out of town and had to. I stopped at Whole Foods and got “Moms chicken soup” from the hot bar (ingredients below), and since then (this was Friday), I’ve had a return of RLQ tenderness and bloating with meals as well as nausea with meals. Any ideas what the most likely culprit could be? I don’t understand how or why an ingredient would give me RLQ tenderness (painful when I apply pressure) and for this long after.
Thanks all for any ideas!
Ingredients: Chicken Stock (Water, Chicken Bones, Onions, Celery, Carrots, Sea Salt, Garlic, Parsley, White Pepper, Thyme, Bay Leaves, Marjoram), Chicken Meat, Celery, Onions, Carrots, Sea Salt, Parsley, Black Pepper, Thyme.
