Long-Term Addiction to PMO May Contribute to Digestive Disorders (Gastritis, IBS, SIBO, Dysbiosis)

Makes you kind of think when people say masturbation makes you blind(weak eyesite), all these so called myths might just be peoples observations. Before nofap I used to get bad heartburn all the time, hair loss, weak back, weak knees, cracking in all my joints, bad body odor, weird body striations, super low energy like all the time, excessive negative thoughts - and these were when I was like 17 lol. Im not saying it all went away 100%, but its definitely way less than where it was.

 

I believe I had to read this in what has been happening to me currently.

I'll be honest in that I'm feeling more bloated then I've ever been and I'm not even loosing weight anymore especially on eating healthy and drinking water daily along with other healthy fluids. Still each and every other day I return to the scale and no improvement. I've been highly putting the finger on it that it has to do with my compulsion habits of PMO. My bowel movements are not solid as you said and I only have one at most each morning after even putting more fiber into my diet such as peanut butter or coffee for more of an effect. Still I am seeing no fat loss witch has been bugging me because I work all day and lift especially and about three day's a week I do exercise for 45 minutes plus. Weight is always back at the same level or increased. I've been majorly pin pointing it to a digestive problem some times I will take ex-lax and it does help a little bit.. At this point I'm at a point of not knowing what to do. But after reading this my mind is being more confirmed it's a problem with PMO and detrimental prolonged masturbation effects. .

 

My digestive issues started to resolve themselves after 2-3 months of no pmo and after 4 months they were 100% gone. I relapsed a couple of times and I was still ok but I relapsed a few more since then and now all the same issues are back again, possibly even worse than before. PMO absolutely nukes my intestines.

 

Yea my Acne starting to clear up now too. Before I couldn't even touch a KitKat, now I have one like every 2-3 days no problem...I'll drink Red Bulls, no Acne

You know what's super strange? My diet is like controlling itself. It's so weird. I'm like only 7 days in, but like I don't even overeat anymore, compared to like last month when my streaks were only a couple days long. That's definitely something I noticed that happens automatically. If I keep eating less, I'll definitely update this thread, such a cool effect

 

es cierto que salirse de la pornografia y masturbación ayudan a curar los problemas digestivos, doy testimonio de mi mismo. Antes sufría de reflujos y mala digestión, ahora que hago pmo con menor frecuencia esos problemas disminuyeron abismalmente

 

Yes I too had and have digestion issues.I too figured out this very late.After evey PMO session or I say ejaculation I'll feel like heavy around stomach,some gastric type stuff and bloating sensations.i have shown to many doctors including various options of medicines like allopathy,aurveda,etc.but nothing improved.And because of this disturbance ,most of time my mood and overall mind body was not at ease.Finally after 19 years of M ,initially some 3 years of occassional PMO and then later 12 years of PMO sessions I was able to convince myself in 2021 itself that it was a real problem and I was addicted.I used to PMO around every 20th day and so.but those were full weekends sometimes.i was horrific.

Since I left it on 21-04-21 ,I am much better.My stomach too is better than earlier.Presently I'm not on any medication.But still I'm no where healed.still going through withdrawals symptoms ,exhaustion and no libido.

I hope in coming days and weeks I'll get better slowly.

 

Glad to have come across your post, as I've been suspecting that my intestinal problems are also linked to PMO.
I'm more motivated now than never before, to overcome this plague of an evil habit, with God's help.

 

I actually do not remember, since the last long streak was a long time ago. I'm about to check this possibility now, since I'm very determined to break all records on streaks so far, with God's help.

But yes, to some extent, I have managed to get better by changes in diet, at least. I am a strict vegetarian, which means no diary, no milk and virtually no eggs too, besides not eating meat.

Also, I do not ingest alcohol, caffeine and avoid processed food, spicy and condiment-rich foods. Pretty much, my diet is simple but rich, I eat whole grain foods, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, some roots and things like that. It started when I had an inflammation in the intestines, and got pretty bad. I could not evacuate and thus, could not eat properly as well, it was terrible.

Since then I adopted changes in my diet, leading to what it is today. There are some book that have helped me with that. All from the 19th century: "Counseuls on diet and foods", "The Ministry of Healing" and "Counseuls on Health" from author Ellen G. White, good stuff, and free on the internet.

 

did you see improvement so far from your steaks?
I am suffering exactly from same. I am overweight and in obese category. I have apparently no bad eating habit. I eat twice or once a day and home made food. Only bad habit is i love soft drinks and i dink them twice a week which itself is not much. No matter how much i am doing cardio or try to eat less portion, my weight s not decreasing. I am bloated all the time and I am pretty sure it is all because of PMO. Sometimes if i take some probiotic mixture, it helps a bit just for couple of days and then back to same. It feels like I have to starve myself to decrease weight but i think pmo is playing vital role here which has completely destroyed my metabolism and digestive system

 

I am having prostate problems

 

I completely relate to you, I had the same problem too and it became worse after each relapse but I'm now much better, I also used to fart excessively.

 

To be honest I don't have the exact time frame, I went for 90, 73,90, 120 days and it got better after each streak but now I don't count days anymore.

 

It was in a space of 18-20 months I think, right now I'm about 8 weeks I relapsed recently after a long streak of 120 days but managed to get up again and I learn a lot from my relapses I find them beneficial in a long run as reflect and note where, why and what led to the relapse
