Definitely agree with that. When I worked I didn't eat breakfast or lunch or I'd be in for trouble. What does the peppermint pill do? Do you have a feeling of being full a lot? I can't eat much without getting full but just one bite can set me off. It's so strange.
Going to bed full is my main problem,but full because the foods just not going down not because I'm eating too much. I used to eat late,now I eat earlier just because that's how life is now where as years ago with work etc it just was later. I suppose if you eat your main food midday and lighten up the early food (breakfast)and late food(tea)the balance is better,I do not go bed hungry every night but I probably should it works. Peppermint settles my stomach and de bloats me,I suppose a bit like peppermint tea in times of digestive issues. I got ulcerative colitis age 16, and it was v bad -diagnosis via colonoscopy
I still get flare ups I would say,I feel sometimes I could probably do with a check up,but I've lived with my ibs since and food sensitivities so I know what I can tolerate. Hormones also make it worse,at night too specifically mucus flare ups- also I have always leant on exercise it always helps -and fasting sometimes mornings until I'm properly hungry if I feel heavy from the night before or had a bad night x my night flare up is nauseous waking up,tummy pain,but like my bowel is asleep-I have to wait for the feeling to go but then I can't stop like you said for a good hour,then I get a hot water bottle I have to sit up to drop back off then when I wake In the morning it's just a bit more sensitive but almost gone away and I feel ok again. These mornings aare when I will definitely fast and give my stomach time to rest x till I'm starving and these days I definitely avoid allergens -sorry I've gone on so
