gut issues starvation paradox

gg12

I cant tolerate Dairy, Sugar/fruit, starches & 90 percent of food.
I try to eat meat, rice, potatoes , eggs but for whatever reason I cant get full and I feel like the potatos and rice just shoot through me (Like a bad blood sugar spike) and I feel tired and stressed after eating them.

I have subconsciously realized I have literally been losing weight and fasting because im so afraid to irritate my gut.
I just ate Cheerios and Milk so My stomach is very irritated but I actually felt full which I haven't felt in so long. Mind you Im 18 "
I obviously don't want gut issues but I also am tired of starvation!!

I cant tolerate Dairy, Sugar ...

Hi, we need some more information:
Are you able to remain 5 hours without eating anything nor drinking (except water)?
How did you tolerate, let's say 2 years ago, milk, honey, fruit.
How often were you eating, let's say 6 months ago, carbs: bread / pasta / rice (they contain the same kind of carbs)? 3 times a day?
Did you feel uncomfortable with potatoes too (starch).?
What's your temp in the morning (wake up and at midday). How do you feel, as far as energy is concerned. Do you feel cold? Not the last days because you're deprived of nutrients.
Do you go to the toilet (feces) once or twice every day? Now.

Take time to answer. Otherwise, our answer is not going to target the problem.

Talk with ChatGPT
Situation
A forum user has problems with irritated stomach and intestines. Mono-diet because digestion of starchy foods is problematic (bread, pasta). Potatoes and rice cause a spike in blood sugar. Afraid of eating. Eat mainly cheerios with milk.
Whatever he eats, he does not feel full or satisfied.
We suppose the transit is +/ correct.

Question to Delphi-2M
How can we make people aware that there is a blood sugar problem, an enzyme deficiency and a probable gluten intolerance? There is probably latent stress and an insufficient or careless lifestyle

Warning:
Do not give dietary advice (menu) at this stage but make this person aware that the main problem is linked to stress and poor nutritional coverage, coupled with a probable deficiency in digestive enzymes.

Suggestion: Use Delphi-2M to predict the main causes (stress & food intolerance)

Answer from ChatGPT
Observation:
The person reports chronic digestive irritation, difficulty digesting starches (bread, pasta), glycemic spikes from simple carbohydrates (potatoes, rice), and a lack of satiety regardless of food intake. Their current mono-diet (Cheerios with milk) provides little nutritional diversity or enzymatic support.

Probable underlying mechanisms (model synthesis):

Stress axis involvement (psychophysiological factor):
o Chronic or latent stress affects gastric motility, acid secretion, and pancreatic enzyme release.
o Cortisol imbalance can disturb blood sugar regulation, explaining glycemic instability and poor satiety.
Enzymatic and mucosal deficiency:
o Possible insufficiency of amylases or lactase, and/or general reduction in digestive enzyme output.
o This leads to maldigestion, fermentation, and irritation of the intestinal lining.
Possible gluten or FODMAP intolerance:
o Sensitivity to gluten (or other wheat components) may aggravate inflammation and hinder absorption.
o This could explain discomfort after starchy foods and the preference for “safe” but nutritionally poor options.
Nutritional imbalance and metabolic feedback:
o A restricted, repetitive diet (e.g., cereal + milk) fails to provide essential micronutrients and amino acids.
o This in turn weakens metabolic resilience and perpetuates fatigue, cravings, and dysregulation of hunger signals.

Awareness Message (Non-prescriptive)
“Your symptoms suggest that your body may not be processing certain foods effectively, possibly because of enzyme insufficiency or intolerance to some carbohydrates or gluten. These digestive difficulties are often amplified by stress, which can alter both hormone balance and digestive function.
At this point, the key is to recognize that the problem may not simply be ‘what’ you eat, but how your body and stress systems respond to food. Improving enzyme activity and reducing physiological stress are likely essential before any nutritional changes can help.”

If I was in your position I think I would go full carnivore diet. Add in some betaine HCL to digest the meat and hopefully that will heal the body enough to get the digestive signalling to come back online.
