@Peatful my dog actually grew a lipoma of some sort when I added bluebonnet brewer's yeast powder to her diet.

Maybe the problem's above your complaint @gg12 . Hydrochloric acid.

@gg12 Does coffee deplete calcium ? Don’t think so Why is my sleep worse on days I drink coffee / it’s hard to fall asleep even if I drink it at 9am. I almost feel like the effects last for a day or two. Try less strong coffee or decaf (with cream and sugar.) And in small amounts. Then work your way up. I feel like it makes my metabolism too fast so I franticly eat starch slop to calm down the starvation. But this just makes issues worse in the long term. Have it with cream and sugar. makes all the difference in the world. Should I force a cup of coffee everyday and hope I adapt? I have SIBO , lactose intolerance, poor liver, bad liver glycogen etc just looking to get things up to speed again. No, forcing doesn’t work. But it does help with those and alot of things, not just because of the caffeine but also because of the nutrients, chlorogenic acid, etc. So start with decaf (still has some beneficial caffeine ) and in smaller amounts, then work your way up. Add some cream and sugar to balance out the caffeine and other components.

Or the other way around. Better to keep so-called soluble fibre low, to prevent LG

@gg12 what @awawat said. Also other things to try: Goat milk; Ultra pasteurized (UP) milk which is often labeled UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk; Buttermilk (tastes like unsweetened kefir) Try whichever appeals to you and whenever you feel like having some, then work your way up. Sweetened condensed milk is another great option. Good luck

@user73636 said in Dietary calcium does not affect pyruvate dehydrogenase?: Your body maintains a very strict range of calcium in your blood regardless of how much you eat. Because of this: The quesiton is how does PTH (affected by dietary calcium) affect PDH.

@polba you are welcome It takes time and being consistent But you will feel much better and symptom free Just easy to digest stuff Nothing that irritates your digestion u

Now it's worse again, I think it is due to food. I am now keeping track of grocery store receipts and whether I feel better or worse afterwards to narrow down what's reducing symptoms and what's increasing it. It gets substantially worse if I eat too little so a elimination diet is off the table. Glycine helps a lot. Supposedly this is because during a state of sickness the body needs like 10-15g of Glycine daily to repair mucal barriers, gut lining, skin, etc, but can only produce 3g itself. It also generally increases the threshold for mast cell degranulation. I drink a few teaspoons per day dissolved in drinks.

Good thread. I am trying to swish with salt water to fix my breath problem. My Mom says my breath is "very sweet" and according to the internet its a sign of ketosis. Well that's about the only thing it can not be. I know it gets worse when drinking coffee.

Update I'm feeling just fine again at rest like before taking the thiamine. Hooray!

You’d better listen to the signals of your body and accept them. Perhaps temporally though the body has memory (immune system). Perhaps not yet too late if you are very cautious with dairy. Nothing to do with lactose intolerance. 50 % intolerant with gluten are intolerant to milk. Mimicry. We don’t need dairy to get the appropriate amount of calcium even if it’s easier or if you like it. E.g. broccoli is very rich in available calcium. You don’t need 1200 mg calcium. The amount 550 or 850 mg Ca depends on how you deal with the acid-base balance (Na, Ca, K, Mg versus Phosphorus and Sulfur). To help balancing you’ll probably need: bisglycinate magnesium phophocalcium (+ calcium citrate when there is oxalate in veggies) potassium bicarbonate. I track my balance with cronometer.com (I’ve changed the targets). I repeat: you can’t force the body to accept sth when the intestinal linen are fragile / irritated. The sooner you accept it (100 % or it won’t never heal completely), the quicker you can get / optimize the tightness of the brush border of the stomach. I can give a link if interested, if you accept the fact you won’t heal “over the next 2 weeks”! To optimize the motility, get inform on MMC (interprandial motility). But you’ll probably need to heal the integrity and the thickness of the stomach linen before adding fibbers (with glutamine). A last advice: If you wait too long, you’ll get problem with the microbiota and perhaps / probably with candidiasis. There, no glutamine advisable or you’ll feed the beast. Act before you suffer from SIBO/ SIFO too much to tolerate what you can eat. Much more restrictive then. See my answer here to Samyo: Key information for SIBO / SIFO https://bioenergetic.forum/post/50601

@cookielemons I was eating a shit ton of them, probably 0.5 kg every evening, but yeah, I agree they were not my only issue back then

I have had the same issue with not just B vitamins but also any pro metabolic supplement like pyrucet. The trick is to both take the vitamins with lots of carbs and to also increase carb intake in the hours after, since your glucose oxidation will be ramped up and your blood sugar will plummet easier, leading to the fatigue you describe.

Another quick update. Just took a shower and removed a large quantity of earwax from my left ear. My left TMJ feels much better now, though not completely. I might go to an ENT in a month to get a professional ear cleaning. Even if you can hear, you could have earwax that is affecting TMJ symptoms.
