Autism & GI Issues

Almost started crying on the phone because they said I had to reschedule my endoscopy but they rescheduled it for TOMORROW which works great because I'll have the two days off after that for recovery. I was thinking it was gonna be another six weeks or some shit but no fuck that I'm taking the tomorrow appointment. I waited 22 years for this shit.

[antifathomable-shapeshifter]

if anyone who struggles to eat because of digestive issues has words of advice on how to eat more (*for the purpose of having energy + gaining weight), i'd love to hear them.

i have weird yet mild (undiagnosed?) stomach issues, probably due to the small hiatal hernia my GI found. 90% of what i eat triggers the symptoms- my best guess is that physically filling food is the common factor. other than that, my symptoms are basically just acid reflux and the effects of having it chronically for ~9 months 24/7.

im on medication, which lessens most of it, and lemon honey tea has helps. surprisingly, i can eat cherry tomatoes by the handful and the last time i had a banana it was awful and triggering. so if your advice can be found on the first page of a 'foods for acid reflux' google search, uh, no thanks lol.

i also have adhd and an inconsistent taste palate, so im hesitant to start any structured diet or to plan meals days in advance. (but its not completely off the table)

Different Types of Colon Polyps and Their Cancer Risk

Colon polyps are small growths that appear on the lining of your colon. Most of these polyps are harmless, but some can progress to colon cancer if left untreated. Understanding the many forms of colon polyps and their associated hazards is critical for your overall health. To avoid major health problems, abnormal growth must be detected early and managed effectively.

In this post, we'll look at the many types of colon polyps, their cancer risks, and the significance of regular screening in maintaining a healthy colon. We’ll also discuss practical tips on How to prevent colon polyps and reduce your cancer risk, and highlight how a gastroenterologist in Surat can help you manage your digestive health effectively.

1. Adenomatous Polyps (Adenomas)

Common and Risky: Most common type of polyp and has a high risk of turning into colon cancer.

Subtypes:

Tubular Adenomas: Least likely to become cancerous.

Villous Adenomas: Higher risk of cancer.

Tubulovillous Adenomas: Risk falls between tubular and villous types.

Action: Regular removal can prevent cancer.

2. Hyperplastic Polyps

Generally Non-Cancerous: Usually small and flat, found in the rectum or lower colon.

Potential Concerns: Large hyperplastic polyps in the right colon might require closer monitoring.

Action: Regular screening is important, but they typically do not lead to cancer.

3. Sessile Serrated Polyps (SSPs)

Flat and Hard to Detect: Often blend with the colon lining and are more difficult to spot.

Precancerous: Can develop into colon cancer if not removed.

Action: Detection and removal during colonoscopy are crucial.

4. Inflammatory Polyps

Associated with Bowel Diseases: Often linked to Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

Non-Cancerous but Risky: These polyps themselves aren’t cancerous but can increase overall cancer risk.

Action: Manage the underlying bowel disease to reduce cancer risk.

5. Hamartomatous Polyps

Rare and Genetic: Often found in individuals with genetic conditions like Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Potential for Cancer: Individuals with these conditions have a higher cancer risk.

Action: Regular screenings and polyp removal are recommended for those with genetic syndromes.

Cancer Risk and Colon Polyps

Not All Polyps Become Cancerous: Many remain benign if detected and removed early.

High-Risk Factors: Larger polyps, multiple polyps, and certain types like adenomatous have a higher risk.

Screening: Regular colonoscopies help in early detection and removal.

How to Prevent Colon Polyps and Reduce Your Cancer Risk

Regular Screenings: Crucial for detecting and removing polyps before they become cancerous.

Healthy Diet: Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit red and processed meats.

Exercise: Helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers cancer risk.

Limit Alcohol and Quit Smoking: Both are linked to increased colon cancer risk.

Manage Health Conditions: Especially if you have inflammatory bowel disease or genetic conditions.

When to See a Doctor

Screening Age: If you’re over 50 or have a family history of colon cancer.

Symptoms: If you experience rectal bleeding or significant changes in bowel habits.

Consult a Specialist: A gastroenterologist in Surat can guide you on the best screening schedule and management plan.

By understanding these types of colon polyps and their risks, you can take proactive steps to maintain your colon health and reduce your risk of colon cancer. Regular screenings and a healthy lifestyle are key components in preventing colon polyps and managing your overall digestive health.

Use clean water and make sure food is cooked properly. If they catch the stomach flu, keep them hydrated with water or special drinks that help with hydration. Avoid sharing utensils or food with others who are sick. If they have symptoms, offer bland foods like bananas or rice to help their stomach feel better. You can also buy mixed Saunf online.

Discover the Best Ayurveda Clinic for Effective Digestive Problem Treatment

Ayurvedic offers best treatment methods for Digestive Problems. Ayurvedic remedies focuses on addressing the root causes of the condition. Digestive disorders are conditions that affect the digestive system, which includes the mouth, stomach, small intestine & large intestine. Natural herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine are good for the digestive system. Treatment for Digestive Disorders in Ayurveda includes Panchakarma therapies, tailored diet plans, suitable exercises, and lifestyle adjustments to promote overall digestive health.

Importance of Digestion

Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, that provide our body with the energy and resources needed for growth and cell repair. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before the blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. The body breaks down nutrients from food and drink such as carbohydrates, protein, fats, and vitamins to support overall health and wellness.

The digestive process initiates in the mouth, where the production of saliva is triggered even at the thought of eating. This complex system carries out three essential functions: mixing food, propelling it through the digestive tract via peristalsis, and breaking down food into smaller molecules with the help of chemicals.

Some Common Digestive Disorders

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) : Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus.

Peptic ulcers: Peptic ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or small intestine.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): An intestinal disorder causing pain in the stomach, diarrhea, constipation, and change in the appearance of stool.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) : It is a disorders in which the intestines become inflamed.

Constipation: Constipation is a condition in which a person has uncomfortable or infrequent bowel movements.

Diarrhea : Diarrhoea is usually caused by a virus, or sometimes, contaminated food. Less frequently, it can be a sign of another disorder, such as inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome.

Gallstones: Gallstones are hardened deposits of bile. Gallstones can vary in size and number and may or may not cause symptoms.

Ayurveda Treatment For Digestive Disorders  

Ginger: Gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, benefits gastrointestinal motility ― the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process.

Turmeric: Turmeric (curcumin) enhances diversity of the human microbiome and improves digestion. Curcumin may also work by fortifying the intestinal barrier.

Jaggery: It prevents constipation due to its laxative property and activates digestive enzymes. As per Ayurveda, eating Jaggery daily after meals improves digestion due to its Ushna (hot) property.

Fennel: Fennel seed essential oils stimulates the secretion of digestive juices and enzymes that improve your digestion.

Vamana Panchakarma is a detoxification therapy in Ayurveda that involves inducing controlled vomiting to eliminate toxins from the body. It's part of the five-fold detoxification therapy called Panchakarma. During Vamana, a person undergoes preparatory procedures followed by the ingestion of medicated substances to induce vomiting. This process helps remove excess mucus, toxins, and other waste products from the upper respiratory tract and digestive system, promoting overall health and well-being. It's often recommended for conditions like asthma, allergies, skin disorders, and digestive issues. However, it should only be performed under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

the night before last, i added cefdinir 300mg to my antibiotic regimen. i'm now taking that, plus bactrim 160mg, twice a day each. i'm still taking all the other stuff.

i feel sick. i always feel sick, but i feel even more low-energy these last few days. the nausea from the antibiotics surprisingly hasn't been too debilitating, but another side effect has emerged and proven somewhat unforgiving. i noticed that i'm extremely irritated most of the time. little things have been pissing me off, like someone leaving a mess in the sink, or someone walking past the tv while jules and i watch rupaul. little things like that. like someone forgetting to wipe down the stove after cooking. normally, i'm neurotic. normally, i'm anxious about cleanliness and messy kitchens trigger my ocd. probably because i used to get punished for leaving messes as a child. probably because i had it pounded into me that you clean up after yourself, right away, every time, or else. but i'm not normally so outward about it. it's like i've got a short fuse that keeps getting shorter.

yesterday, i was so annoyed by the mere presence of other people that i had to go upstairs to take a bath, to be alone. the sound of multiple conversations happening at once was grinding at me. it's cold upstairs, since we usually only have the heat on in the basement to save money. but i brought my space heater and my himalayan salt lamp into the bathhroom, plugged them in, ran the bath water. added hibiscus epsom salts, let it get full of hot water and got in. i added a rose petal bath bomb to the water. the bath bomb and the salts were gifted to me by violet, who waas preparing to move and couldn't use them in time.

i brought my book into the bath and just read for a long while, relaxing into steamy precious solitude. i'm reading a memoir by Suleika Jaouad called "Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted" about her experience as a young adult with leukemia. it's pretty intense, but it's also super cathartic to read of other young peoples' experiences with debilitating illness. it makes me feel both grateful for what i have, and less alone in my suffering.

i'm so grateful that i've been able to read lately. the memoir is the second consecutive book i've read in just a few weeks. whenever i'm not able to rest as much as i need to, my fatigue and brain fog get so bad that i can barely read, let alone write. i think because i've been able to rest, pace myself, and not overdo activity (thanks, stable living situation!) i actually have some mental energy stored away that i can use to read, and to write, and even to draw/paint a little! i haven't had this happen in a very long time. it makes me feel less like a useless sick fuck. i get to do some of the things i hold dearest.

i stayed in the bath for hours, i think over 4 hours, adding more hot water whenever it started to get lukewarm. i read for a long while, then i thought about how frustrated i was by how frustrated i feel, and i called my mom. she's a nurse, so she knows about these things. she seemed to think it made sense that an intense antibiotic regimen would lead to mental difficulty, considering it would destroy my gut biome, and as we know, gut health is strongly correlated with mental well-being. we talked about my health, she asked if i've been pooping (sorry this gets gross, but it's a part of my everyday reality, so i'm going to talk about it) and i told her yes, i pooped today, but before that it had been three days. three days is better than five or six or seven, which is often how long i go between bowel movements. but it's still not great. i still have to plunge after every shit, because they're so hard. my shit is so hard that it literally tears open my butthole every time i go, so i have these really painful and itchy hemorrhoids that never have time to heal fully before they're exacerbated by the next bowel movement. the other day, i got some hemorrhoid cream, but it made the itching so horribly intense that i kept scratching - the digging scratch, the really deep scratch - every time i went to pee just to try to get some relief. i stopped using the cream. my mom thinks i'm probably allergic to one of its ingredients.

while we're talking about poop, i'll recount possibly one of the sweetest things dillon has ever done for me. yesterday, early in the day, i took a big ass shit. i went to go get the plunger from upstairs, to bring it down to the basement bathroom. when i got back downstairs, dillon asked if he could see my poop. i knee-jerk responded, "no!" but then i thought about it, and i agreed. he wanted to make sure there was no blood or worms or anything really bad in my stool, he wanted to make sure nothing more than really bad constipation was happening. i know this seems weird, but it's honestly one of the cutest things a partner has ever done for me. that's real love right there. and spoiler: he still loves me after seeing my monster poop.

after about three hours in the bath, dillon came to check on me. he hung out for a while, sitting on the toilet telling me how cute and hot i was. i said "i'm in my element. i never wanna get out" and he responded, "so don't!" as he was leaving to go back downstairs i said "do we still have any annie's mac n cheese?" and he said he would check. about an hour later, i came downstairs all squeaky clean - except for my hair, which is so tangled and i did not have the energy to deal with that - and dillon was at the stove, making me a whole box of mac n cheese for myself!! so cute. so gay. i love him.

i'm feeling the mental exhaustion come on, so i will stop writing here. but i'll keep coming back for updates! maybe later today, but more likely i'll update again tomorrow.

So, very promising news:

The celiacs antibody came back. The celiacs antibodies was in the normal range BUT the transglutanimase was higher than normal. It's supposed to be less than 7.0 but mine was 13.6 which possibly means that my digestive problems are autoimmune according to google.

I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor. I just got the tests back. Who knows if it actually is the problem but if it is, I am personally gonna fight every single doctor that failed to do the bare minimum of one test. Granted we don't know WHICH disorder it is but the knowledge that it's probably autoimmune is more than any of my other GI doctors did.

Ooohhh! This is so interesting! Very informative and helpful too! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊

Funny enough, I was cramping so bad last night. It was horrible but thank god I had Advil.

The Spicy Autistic Femme

I actually found a Harvard article about this. Here’s an excerpt:

Autistic people are more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) ailments than the general population. They are especially more difficult to identify and diagnose in adults with communication challenges. GI symptoms can range from mild stomachaches to serious, persistent vomiting. There is no single set of signs, symptoms, or treatments that applies to all autistic patients.

Another article said:

According to many researchers, the GI issues that come with ASD might be due to two factors: firstly, inappropriate immune activation Trusted Source, causing inflammation of the tract; and, secondly, differences in the types of gut bacteria Trusted Sourcethat are present.

I find this very interesting and kinda annoying too.
