Been looking to automate different sectors of my agency, and right now I'm looking at my client meeting workflows. I've tested out different AI tools before but most of them just sit in the call, record, and then dump a passive transcript or a generic summary. Just looking for ideas for any agents that can do more than just that I guess, thanks.
Hey guys,
I've had IBS basically my whole life and over the years I've tried a bunch of stuff, mostly with my doctor like probiotics, different types of fiber like psyllium and PHGG, low FODMAP for a while, magnesium, peppermint, digestive enzymes, fermented foods, cutting dairy/gluten, meal timing, all of it. Some things helped a little, but nothing really changed the baseline for me. probiotics were super hit or miss, and a lot of prebiotic fibers made me more bloated, so I didn't have any expectations for anything anymore.
I did a gut microbiome test and went over the results with a friend who studies microbiology and focuses on gut health. HMOs (human milk oligosaccharides) made sense because they’re not a regular fiber that just adds bulk or feeds everything broadly; they’re specific prebiotic sugars that are known for being more selective, especially toward bifidobacteria which was the main thing that stood on my test. At that point it felt like I had already tried most of the obvious gut stuff so there weren’t many new things left to try anyway.
I got an HMO prebiotic powder to keep it simple, one scoop in water every day since water is one of the few tdhings I tolerate well, coffee irritates me and I avoid sugary drinks, so that worked best. It doesn't really have a strong taste but that was the least important part, about two weeks after I noticed a big difference in bloating. I swear I hadn’t felt that de-puffed in a long time, and I also noticed more energy and less of that heavy, sluggish feeling after eating, especially after lunch.
I wanted to wait before saying anything because IBS is so annoying and sometimes things work for a week and then stop like it has happened to me before but it's been about four months now or so and this has helped me more with symptoms and tolerating foods I couldn’t eat than most other things I’ve tried.
If probiotics or regular prebiotics have been too harsh for you, do yourself a favour and try them!
Has anyone dealt with low ferritin while also having IBS or digestive issues?
My ferritin came back low on labs but regular iron supplements are rough for me. I already deal with daily bloating and food sensitivity, so anything that causes constipation, nausea or more stomach discomfort makes it really hard to stay consistent :( not trying to replace medical advice, I'll definitely bring it up with my doctor but wanted to know if anyone else has been through something similar
Hey guys, I've been trying to transition my content agency to one that incorporates more AI services and automation. For anyone that was in the same position, what steps and checklists do I need to fulfill to do so? Thanks.
