I would say your digestive system is fucked, because you are eating something your body doesn't like in that volume.

You feel great eating, but by the time that stuff reaches your intestinal you are feeling like shit. This is because either your body has to work harder to digest it or is fighting something that is in it.

Your constant farting, oily skin and shitting are a further hint of that. Something isn't digested right and your body tries to get rid of it.

Of course by getting rid of what your body doesn't like it is also getting rid of nutrients it needs, hence your carving for what you think is a carving for sugar but there is other stuff connected to that feeling.

You simply have to test your food by leaving things out for a couple of days and look how you feel in the evenings on those days. This can include stuff like spices, as it could be that you developed a allergic reaction to something.

I would also take off the multivitamins, even if you just take them on weekdays this sounds like too much.

Feces transplant is the only solution.

I've got ideas. There's just so many points to address. It would be ideal if I went into detail, but for now it should suffice to say You are under severe stress, you dumb mother fucker. If you treat life like a marathon, you will die sooner than normal, period. Step 1 is to stop all exercise for a few weeks, and when you feel better forbid endurance exercise permanently forever after if at all possible. It's plainly obvious you do not have the ability to recover from your current exercise routine. There have been countless airheads before you thinking they can do exactly what you're doing without consequence. They couldn't, and it wasn't noble to want to try in the first place because the entire premise was a sham. Only transcending humanity allows endurance exercise to have a positive outcome on health. You'll know when that happens. It hasn't though. A little steroids will make you a winner however but you'll still trash your body for no reason.

You can't even take a normal shit anymore because you're intestines are under chronic stress. Pretty soon they'll just say fuck it and stop digesting food. Then you'll be a swimming skeleton. Drink your soda and juice. You need the energy, and that's why you have a sweet tooth. Your body isn't secretly conspiring to make you a pig. It's trying to survive like anything with half a brain. Apparently your half is in the gut.

Take some probiotics, eat some yoghurt.

Take 7 sacred mushroom supplement if that doesn't work.

Not doing endurance exercises isn't an option. I can cut back on the running cardio for a few months, but I'll have to pick even that back up again in about four months.

>Drink your soda and juice. You need the energy, and that's why you have a sweet tooth.

I get plenty of sugar/salt into my diet as part of my pre-workout. It's not like I'm starving myself here. My diet consists of a protein/fat rich breakfast with plenty of carbs, usually a light lunch of mostly vegetables & fats from nuts and such, a pre-workout of sweets/salt/protons, and a nutrient-rich dinner that varies from day-to-day. I know I'm probably burning through a shit ton of kcals so I'm replenishing them to a slightly lower (but still more than the average person eats in a day) amount.

Also as a side note I did this exact same routine for about 7 months with no obvious repercussions.

>>138009

>>Shitting 3-5x/day not little turds but at least as long as two fingers/thick as my thumb minimum. I usually shit at least twice at work and at least once or twice at the gym between cardio/weights or before swimming

>>Pretty much farting nonstop when I'm awake, doesn't matter if I'd had a lot of milk, no milk, lots of garlic, no garlic, lot of whey, no whey, the farting is constant and consistent

“Potassium deficiency has been produced experimentally by feeding a low potassium diet or by injecting desoxycorticosterone. It was shown that potassium deficiency may lead to muscle weakness and, in dogs, to eventual paralysis. In addition to this skeletal muscle change, pathologic lesions in cardiac muscle occur which are associated with characteristic electrocardiographic changes.”

…

“In rats the tone and movements of the whole digestive tract decreased progressively as the deficiency continued (Fig. IB, 2B, 3A). In an average of two months, this resulted in severe distension which eventually was the cause of death. The hypotonic intestine was usually filled with large amounts of digestive-secretions, even before symptoms became severe. In many animals in the severe stage of deficiency, large amounts of gas accumulated, so that the condition resembled that of paralytic ileus. These signs rapidly disappeared upon the administration of potassium. The bladder of deficient animals was also atonic and was usually found filled with urine (Fig. iB).”

…

“In potassium deficient adult dogs, little change in motility of the digestive tract occurred, although there was a reduction in the strength and rate of rhythmic contractions. In these dogs, water exchange was increased early in the deficiency.”

…

“These studies have shown that simple potassium deficiency in rats greatly reduces motility in the smooth muscle organs of the gastro-intestinal tract and bladder. Because of the accumulation of fluid and gas, there is either an increased secretion of digestive juices and/or a decreased absorption. In potassium deficient dogs, the water exchange and volume of gastric secretions is increased.”

…

“So it would seem that when gastric and intestinal secretions are lost from the body, a relatively large amount of potassium is likewise lost, as these fluids contain two to three times as much potassium as an equivalent amount of serum. Two effects may ensue:

1. There may be inhibition of the intestinal musculature aggravating an ileus already established from some other cause.

2. There appears to be a stimulus to increase the volume of gastric secretion. The stomach continues to secrete potassium, and because of the increased volume of secretion, the potassium deficiency develops. Hydration and electrolyte balance can only be restored if potassium is administered.”

Fruit is a good way to increase potassium intake and minerals in general. A small snack of ~4 dates provides ~20% DV potassium and ~12% DV magnesium.

I eat either a banana or kiwi daily so I don't think it's potassium.

>>138051

Just one banana or just one kiwi? Nowhere near enough, dude, especially being active like you are. You'll sweat out a lot of electrolytes.

>>138049

I've never had dates before. I just remember seeing my Dad eat them and thinking they looked weird. How many should a sweaty man eat to stay topped up on potassium?

>>138009

>Swimming 6x/week

>cardio for about 1.5-3 miles 3-5x/week

>lifting 2-4x/week

bro you need to fucking cool your jets because you're literally killing yourself. If you're trying to lose weight then moderate exercise and eating at a deficit is all you need and if you're trying to gain muscle then you need more recovery and a diet high in dem protons.

Unless you're preparing for a triathlon or joining the marine corp or something you're just doing way too much.

Just for a measly 20% of minimum potassium

You're a vegan aren't you?

Also stop trying to medically diagnose based on random studies I bet I could pick any person in the world at random and diagnose them with a dozen deadly illnesses using that method.

This is so weird. I just woke up and decided to check this thread. Your reply popped up 5 seconds later. Anyways, I recommended dates because they are a source of many different minerals—not just potassium. However I wasn't saying it should be his sole source, and it's not my personal sole source either even though I eat 12-20 each day. I brought it up to impress upon him the idea that he could benefit by eating a lot more fruit. I tried to make it sound easy by showing how much nutrition he could get from a small snack. He already has a sweet tooth. Dates are sweet. Kills two birds with one stone.

>You're a vegan aren't you?

Because I recommended eating fruit? I eat beef pretty much every day though. Your logic is pretty strange.

>Also stop trying to medically diagnose based on random studies

Your fault if you think it's a diagnosis. It's unbiased information and how one acts upon it is up to oneself. He may or may not have potassium deficiency, but by being an endurance exercise enthusiast he needs to replenish electrolytes frequently. Fruit is a good way to assist that. He is having weird bowel movements and bad gas. Fruit is a good way to normalize the digestion. I find dates to be especially merciful on my intestines.

Cool it with the multi for a while, see how you feel. If you eat veggies and get sunlight, you really don't need most of that shit.

See a doctor, every reply in this thread is shit, as fitting for this board.

Get your blood glucose level checked, immediately.

Yeah, there's the problem right there.
