Mainly I am taking Nortryptyline for the abdominal pain. I’ve been on this for almost 2 months, and the pain is almost gone, about 80% gone. The doctor said that this would happen. that this type of medication would take several weeks to take effect. I used to have Severe pain on daily basis, and even more severe at night, but consistent every day for the last 7 months. For the acid reflux, I am taking lansoprazole. Prior to this problem, I didn’t have problems with acid reflux
A couple of weeks ago I raced and had no stomach issues. Had some good PRs. the following day did a ride about.90 IF, and a soon I finished my ride had severe abdominal pain. then it went away by itself. I was very confuse because the day before I raced with no issues. I haven’t had another episode like that since then. But now my acid reflux seems to be getting worse. I think my body is all out of wack
lately, what I try to do is not eat before my workouts because that triggers acid reflux pretty badly. then I finish my workout, take my medication for the acid reflux, wait 30 minutes and then I have my dinner. that seems to work
I think part of my problem is that my body isn’t recovering well or my body isn’t absorbing all the nutrients. To that effect, they put me on fodmap. it’s hard to tell if that helped with the pain because at the same time that I started with this diet I also started with the medication for the pain.
Last month I was on a low volume plan and I was finishing the workouts fine. doing outdoor rides fine as well, with a bit of abdominal pain. Because of the medication for the pain started to work I went back to Medium volume plan but I don’t seem to be able to handle that. Today I bailed out my workout, my legs were super spent. So I am thinking that maybe I should go back to a low volume plan or maintenance until I figure out a way to increase TSS without affecting my health
to make matters worse I went I got a second opinion, and the second doctor thinks I have Functional GI disorder.
