Grassfed beef + Saurkraut => symptoms gone?
I have experienced rectal bleeding for about 6 months with unpredictable stomach.
I went to the doctor a month ago and did some tests (stool tests, blood work, and a brief camera screening), and this showed high inflammation in my stool and signs of inflamation in the rectum, leading my doctor to suspect Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). No gluten intolerance.
I am currently awaiting a full screening (colonoscopy), so I decided to experiment with diet after reading stories online:
Week 1 (Strict Carnivore): I cut out caffeine, sugar, and carbs, eating only grass-fed beef & hard cheeses. My symptoms steadily declined (still some blood, but drastically lower), and I had no major crises.
Week 2 (Carnivore + Additions): I introduced a small amount of rice and a large daily amount of fermented, unpasteurized sauerkraut. No blood, poop looks brown and good (but its only diarreah, and a lot of it).
Week 3 (Current Status): I currently have no pain and zero bleeding. However, I've started introducing "test foods", such as energy drinks and sugar. I noticed a small amount of bleeding from it (just a tiny bit), but it is no where near the same effect as from before week 1.
I tried to eat out once, a pasta dish with cream sauce and meat. I didnt get any bleeding, but it triggered my stomach to be unpredictable for a few hours and i had diarreah 3 times in a row within a small interval.
Since i went full grassfed beef + fermented unpastuarized saurkraut, my life has improved an insane amount. Rice is now also in my diet without any problems.
Only problem i can report right now is diarreah, which i suspect is from getting 0 fiber.

MSFT advice: Get out when you can
If MSFT ever makes it back to its +500 mark (peak was 540) I'm getting out. This is no longer fun.
MSFT is failing with everything they have except Azure. OpenAI down the drain, copilot is a disaster, and Azure is not enough to beat S&P.
