I'm seriously thinking of going MGTOW or stick to prostitutes because of that.

Come on, dude. You don't need to be huge to get laid. Your IBS has nothing to do with your inability to get women.

Sounds like you have:

Helibacter Pylori

I developed gastritis and irritable bowl syndrome, nearly passed out one day taking a shit. Painful. Found out I had a bacterial bug in my intestines which causes these problems. Thank god my doctor mentioned it. Antibiotics for two weeks, and I am much better. New stool test show it has been eradicated from my body, and I no longer have IBS or G.

Might I suggest Soylent?

If you go a week or two on Soylent, and it gives you zero digestive issues, then it's a great way to control for dietary issues, and experiment, since it gives 2000 kcals plus 100% of macros and micros, and is pretty minimally impactful on the digestive system (although some people do experience gas for a day or two - beano to adjust).

It's basically just baby formula for adults.

Try it. You may still have issues on it, in which case, it didn't hurt to try it for a few days. If you're able to subsist on it and you have no issues, then you can begin to slowly reintroduce foods, and see if they affect you, one-by-one.

And in any case, it's an easy way to get 2000 kcals in.

I use it, because otherwise I wouldn't eat breakfast.

I'd suggest the powder as it's cheaper and takes up less space. But people say the liquid tastes better, so ymmv.

Aesthetic doesn't necessarily means big, and big doesn't necessarily mean aesthetic.

Lift like you mean it and do the best you can with your eating issue, half gains are better than no gains.

Your diet is shit.

Do Whole30 100% for 60 days.
