A little bit personal...

I wasn't sure if I was going to share this, because it really has nothing to do with building a business (other than limiting me from feeling 100%), but my husband of all people said "you should share this on your AI page, you never know who else is going thru it".

I've always been extremely private, when I'm going thru a hard time, whether it's health wise, relationship or really anything, I tend to keep it to myself and just "get thru it". Maybe it's a GenX thing, maybe it's how I was raised, but in either case, I'm working on improving my openness. I'm discovering that the more you share the real "YOU", the more your audience can relate to your story. I'm not claiming to have it figured out, I really struggle with how to relate my life experiences in actual "content".

I mentioned yesterday I was under the weather, and I sincerely appreciate all the comments and messages 🫶 So here's what's going on...

I've struggled for years with digestive issues. Had all the tests done, nothing could ever be diagnosed. I won't go into detail on the symptoms, but on some days (way too many) it's been debilitating. I've tried probiotics, prebiotics, powders, pills, drinks, you name it. After tons of research (mostly by my husband because he's tired of seeing me suffer), we have determined it has to be certain foods that are causing this, and I'm starting to follow the Low FODMAP diet to figure it out.

After looking at tons of lists of High FODMAP foods, it will be interesting to finally figure out which ones are the problem, but the main ones I think may be the issue are garlic and onions! You would be surprised if you look in your pantry at how many products have these ingredients. Almost everything we cook we use them! I looked in our pantry and almost had a meltdown... I said "we literally have nothing in here that I should eat"!!

Ok so that's one issue, that (hopefully) I'll have figured out in a couple weeks. If you've read this far, I'm impressed 🤪 The other thing, is that both of us have been taking the shots (Zepbound/Tirzepatide) to lose weight. These shots make me feel horrible for the first few days, usually very nauseous and I'll get a bad headache. Some weeks I just skip the shot because I don't want to feel like crap!

Here's my questions for you!

Have you ever heard of (or done) the Low FODMAP diet?

Are you taking any of the GLP-1 shots and have you had these symptoms?
