At first I thought it was a stomach bug or flu since that had gone around a few weeks before. But it has and is still going on. Almost 2 weeks now of having stomach issues. Anything I eat or drink (more than just a few sips at a time) goes right through me in 10-20 min. If I'm lucky 30-45 min. Even if I don't eat (which I did try) I'd still have to go to the bathroom every 30-40 min.
So I figured for the length of time it was not a stomach bug or something. I had stopped all nbe products and after 6 days or so I'm still having stomach issues but I'm starting to have a bit more solid stool than before. I don't know if it was the pm (like a bad batch from Thailand or if it had a big or parasite in it), or the other products like MSM or red reshi or s.p. or the multivitamin of calcium magnesium zinc with d3 that caused it. Almost seems like my digestive system was coated with all these products and not able to digest things normally.
Also I did do some research and found post menopause women and mtf trans women using hrt experience irritable bowel syndrome or IBS or develope IBS due to the higher estrogen levels in their system.
So I feel that it is my bodies response to the pm and increasing estrogen levels. I already had a sensitive stomach but it was no where close to being this bad for this long constant and consistent. So hopefully it is not my bodies response to estrogen, and I hope I didn't just make my normal stomach issues a more permanent ibs. Again like I said off everything for 6 days and I'm starting to finally have slightly more solid bowel movements than I have been experiencing for the last two weeks.
Hi, I was just searching through forums to look for posts about stomach issues, and I found your post.
I have experienced
exactly the same thing as you.
I've been taking PM for a similar amount of time, regularly every day, doses around 1-2g.
And after ~6 weeks or less my stomach completely gave up. I had to run to the toilet after every meal, or even without eating. It became absolutely unbearable.
I even had terrible stomach pains and cramps, to the point I had to seek medical help.
Symptoms were similar to an ulcer, I even did a medical check for that, and there was nothing.
I had to stop completely, alongside that I've been taking some prescription meds to help the digestive system etc.
Situation kinda stabilized after around two weeks.
After ~2 months I've tried taking PM again, just to see what would happen. I've taken it for two days and immediately my stomach started acting up.
So yeah, I have no idea if we both bought the same bad batch of Ainterol, or if our bodies react in a similar way, or if it's something else.
I'm just glad I found someone with the same issue. Let me know if you've found out something more, or if you've stopped PM completely.
I'm personally still on the prescribed meds, and have been wondering what to do with two bags of PM I bought ^^"
