      And the temp / altitude/ humidity, along with how many ants are within a 1m radius. That would definitely show the gravity of this awesome feat by those 1s and 2s. Bang bang

    Please get the stool tested in case you need an antibiotic. Try and cut the heavily caffeinated drinks out they will contribute to the diarrhoea. Also its possible some of the electrolyte drinks or gels are the problem-.not sure if you are changing brands? Try to keep a food and drink diary for a bit and see if you can identify a cause. Get Nessie to do it. It might be something from a few days ago. Not. Necessarily the last meal. My last bit, think of cutting out dairy until you are better.

    4:30 Before you start experiencing nausea, the first thing your body does is pyloric sphincter (the thing at the bottom of your stomach to let things into the intestine) closes up. If food's not moving out of your stomach and into your intestines, that's a pretty good sign that food poisoning/nausea of some sort is about to come.

    MATE! You meed more PROTEIN. Animal protein-a complete protein with all the required amino acids. Take it from someone who has alcoholic liver failure. My reccommended diet calls for 3 meals a day at 30 g protein, 30 g carbs. per meal. Snacks between each meal and 1 before bed at 15 g p., 15 g. c. per snack. Daily MINIMUM total-135 g. p., 135. c. Someone doing what you’re doing should be getting more than that of each. If not…sickness related or not, that is why you feel like your body is eating itself. You aren’t meeting the required specific nutrition needed.
    Granted, carbs. are turned into sugars, which burns as fuel-a body’s “diesel” as you will. PROTEIN is feasted on by the body’s liver. The liver regulates 500+ functions used by every system in the body. It is why like the heart, one can’t live without a liver. EAT MORE ANIMAL PROTEIN! I’ll continue posting this in every comment section of each subsequent video in the hopes I see my suggestions come to pass. Ask a nurse/nutritionist about all of this and they will say the same thing. I hope you thank me later 😉 Cheers! 1’s and healthy protein 2’s 👍🏼
