Hello, I'm 49 years old and I have been Aware of Ray peat for a few years and slowly been incorporated the acquired knowledge to my diet and lifestyle, however I have a few relatively serious health issues that have hardly abated.
I have had colon issues since my 20's... I was diagnosed with irritable colon at 22 and detected colon polyps at 35. Not sure what started it but through the years it has gradually gotten worse, my symptoms include pain in the lower belly and butthole every time I have a bowel movement, bloody stools nearly every time...and irregularity and constipation. I fear this may be progressing into cancer. I can't even remember the last time I had a regular bowel movement without it being loose and bloody.
My diet consists of fruit (oranges, bananas, occasional mangoes) O.J and small amounts of milk with I'm not sure I should be having... I also eat lean turkey/ beef with leafy greens and white rice or pasta perhaps every other day. A tablespoon or two of butter, no vegetable oil but Sometimes I do snack on chocolate and occasional some of those crappy cookies/biscuits that are loaded with pufa and lecithin, I'm doing my best to remove them from my diet . Would you guys recommend more low-fat ice cream instead?
Doctor prescribed me senokot for the constipation but I know it's done more harm than good. So I'm taking a lower dosage and will attempt cascara since I just can't the carrot salad.
My other issue is that I Have arthrosis. Or joint arthritis in the cervical. Gets worse every winter.... I am prescribed Tylenol 500my for it wich I have to take twice a day for this terrible pain, believe me you don't want to know what it's like.
I'm afraid to take aspirin due to the colon issue...
So what would you guys recommend ? What step do I take and what options are there for me to try other than improve my diet (for which I also ask for your wise advise) I know I haven't given my full details but I will clear any questions as the responses come along. I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
