hmm okay guys it's really starting to seem like i have some kind of moderately serious gut health issue. IBS or something? i burp a lot and my gut often feels bloated / swollen / distended. anyone have recommendations for what keywords to search for to find a specialist?

maybe would be helpful to write it all down somewhere: here's a list of everything i've had to cut out of my diet to feel better, in chronological order - lactose (~2010) - caffeine (~2016) - gluten (~2018) - apples (~2019) - garlic and onions (~2020) - seed oils (2022) twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st…

hoping to find someone who's moderately "integrative" / "naturopathic" b/c i know IBS is linked to anxiety which i definitely have had plenty of, so i'd want to talk to someone who is comfortable with the emotional side of things also

craniosacral therapist said i likely fell on my tailbone hard at some point (ice skating?) and it compressed my intestines together which could also contribute to gut issues? which makes sense but was not at all on my radar as a kind of problem a person could have 😅

consider looking for a functional medicine doctor, they are typically the most knowledgeable about this stuff in my experience
