Hello everyone,

I’m writing here in hope I can find a lead for my issue. I’m a 38 years old father of 3, I’d say a solid 80 lbs overweight.

In the last 2 years, it feels like I have been struggling increasingly with my digestion, and it has become pretty much the norm to poop soft to downright liquid poop. I joke about not knowing what constipation is…

I’ve been followed every 2 years in colonoscopy, for the last 6, as every man on my father’s side has had colon cancer at some point in their lives, and medically, I’ve been told repeatedly that everything is fine.

Still, struggling so much with digestion and gut process, it’s always in the back of my mind, as I was 3 young daughters.

My question, then, would be: what in the average man’s lifestyle/diet, could be the cause of that? I’m asking on this sub, as I’ve been a long time lurker, but never commited, as I’m starting to think there’s something in my every day diet that just doesn’t work for my body anymore..

I don’t drink, nor do drugs, but there is a lot of bread/cereals at home with the wife and kids…

Any help, or tip, would be greatly appreciated… I’m sick of having cramps almost daily, and shitting puddles…

38 yrs old father of two.

When I say stupid I mean me. I’m stupid. Repeated cellphone usage might have put an end to my career of the last 6 years… I will know by the end of next week.

Fact is I picked this up because I was lucky and got in through a sponsor, right before Covid. I was working in the cinema industry, and made the switch for the salary.

But.

I hate it. I’ve always walked in there backwards, with my mind wandering elsewhere…It’s golden shackles. You sell your soul and availability at any and all times of the day, in exchange for money. Good money, but it takes a heavy toll on your mind and family.

So before shit hits the fan, I’m looking into alternatives in and around Montreal. I can pick up my carpentry card tomorrow morning, but I’ll restart my apprenticeship from the bottom of the ladder, although I still have 1800h in bank. I also have my full CDL.

What would be the most logical and practical way to go from here… given I have a family? I also have a decent amount of money in my RRSP, and I think I can borrow from it, if ever id like to go back fo school, for Welding or Ironworking, the latter I know there’s always a lack of workers for.

Is there any means to keeping afternoon cravings in check?

I’ll stroll through my morning really easily, with black coffee, cottage cheese and jerky/avocado, a 1L bottle of electrolyte water, but then at 3-4pm, I’ll just fold to crazy cravings, and it feels like every time those sweets or chips hit my tongue, I’ll just stuff myself and feel shame afterwards.

It really is my one barrier in this endeavour..

Any tips on quickly accessible food to quench those?

Is there any shop that reliably holds these in .308, non-pistop grip version, and can ship to Montreal, Quebec?
