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 😅

likely to be GERD or prolonged ulcer/stomach pain. also connected to anxiety/stress. the "compress intestines together" is interesting though; seeing a lot of people with these around me for desk-bound jobs.

Weird advice but I've found tons of gut health people on tiktok so maybe just search for "gut health" there and scroll through. They're not necessarily trustworthy but it gives a starting point for googling things & also gives a sense of their vibe if you find someone you like

Maybe try the passive hang?

has done a lot of looking into gut issues

it's good to look into things but the primary issue could def be stress. burping is a sign of hyperventilation + stomach issues are often due to muscular tension in digestive tract (motility). 'the mindbody perscription' by John Sarno is a good resource
