What could be causing these digestive problems?Over the past 2 yrs, I've been having digestion problems with a lot of things I eat or drink, that I used to have no problem with.
It started with Apple Juice and Cider, I could drink both just fine until about two years ago, I can hardly have a couple sips literally without having gas cramps.
Then I had to stop drinking orange Juice. Orange Juice does not give me gas cramps, but it causes over active digestion within a few minutes and sometimes constipation, whereas before I used to drink it all the time with no problems.
Then I stopped being able to tolerate several types of food.
For one thing, all processed food is now a problem. I know that processed food can cause constipation and bloating, but it never used to before with me.
I used to be able to eat pasta with no problem, but now it also bloats me and constipates me.
Just about all fruit will give me gas cramps, I used to be able to eat two or three oranges in a single day before having normal cramps, but now I Can basically only eat half of one and have problems.
Apples are mostly fine, as long as I have one only every couple of days and when cooked they are fine as well.
I can only eat a small handful of grapes without my digestive tract gurgling and leaving me constipated.
I can no longer drink Iced Tea or Lemonade, they don;t bloat me, but they over activate my digestive system as well, and leave me constipated.
So I stopped drinking these two and only drank milk, Juice and water.
Now milk and Juice has the same effect as everything else and the only drink I can tolerate now is water.
The bottom line for me now is, if I eat a certain food or drink long enough it will eventually cause gastrointestinal distress, one by one everything I used to be able to eat or drink now leaves me like this.
I have Hydrocephalus, and two spinal disorders called Basilar Invagination and Kleppel Feil Syndrome. I know that with spinal cord trauma there can be bowel incontinence but this is not what I have.
Any thoughts?

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you have IBS...irritable bowel syndrome. I have it, but hardly ever have problems any more since I found out about Equalactin. When your stomach is gurgling or you have gastro distress, try chewing 2 tablets and drink a glass of water. Good luck!

Liquid chlorophyll promotes a healthy digestive environment and a table spoon of high strength liquid chlorophyll every morning is all you need.
The enzyme bromelain that you find in the core of pineapple also helps.
You can find further information in web searches for "liquid chlorophyll" + ibs and pineapple + ibs.
