@LetTheRedeemed Unless I'm in a health forum, like RPF and this, I would not even know gut problems are a thing. I'm not sure if this is a matter of being more exposed to a group, online or not, that makes me more aware gut issues are quite common across the world, or that this is a phenomenon unique to the North American (except Mexico) experience and to a certain extent, to the Western European/North American/Down Under experience, all following the same world medical order of the AMA and its accomplices. Too much antibiotics? Too much persorption from using GRAS ingredients approved by the FDA-USDA combine? Too much vaccination? Too much incest in the research and industrial and academic and media that passes off toxicity as beneficial and scientific weaving a lifelong series of silent intoxication and then blaming genes for it? I don't see this kind of gut hypersensitivity in the Philippines. I suspect this isn't a thing in the whole of Asia, and even in Central or Eastern Europe, nor even the mideast and Africa. This situation makes it more difficult to eat starch and even some fruits. Seems like the imposition of sensitivities to natural foods that aren't even processed is the result of a carefully planned conspiracy by those whose aim to riches and power is by a systematic process of disabling a human's built-in natural defenses and ability to balance itself within.

It's said that white teas contain less fluoride. I personally do like the taste of such teas but interestingly I've noticed they sometimes give me a stomache ache, something I normally don't get.

@WarmthofGod You can make your own buttermilk very easily by just adding a tbsp. of vinegar to a cup of milk. Then let it sit for 10 minutes or so. It should thicken up. Now you have buttermilk.

@LucH thanks. 30g is so low though. I won't be able to portion like that. Easier to cut them out entirely

No trouble with whole milk powder so far. I'll try skim milk powder to see if I get liquidy again

Brominated vegetable oil- It is used in sports drinks and sodas as an emulsifier—a substance that helps blend liquids that don’t otherwise blend easily, such as oil and water. (According to the FDA, it keeps citrus flavorings from separating and floating to the top of the beverage.) It has been linked to neurological problems; thyroid, heart and liver problems; and behavioral, developmental, and reproductive issues.

@Snow said in Carb suggestions?: @Jennifer I will definitely let you know. Experimenting in the kitchen and making different ice cream flavors is so fun to me for no reason haha Haha! It’s so fun to me too. I’ve had many experiments turn out bad, but ice cream isn’t one of them.

I've been thinking about adding canned light tuna to my diet for easy protein. It's much lower in mercury than bigger tuna varieties and has almost no fat.

@samson Yeah I've decided to drink lactose free milk for now.

@samson said in carrot salad timing?: when would be the most optimal time to take the carrot salad? I've read rp say to have it with breakfast If i'm not mistaken i believe Ray's context was not to time the carrots where it would produce a bowel movement in the middle of the night while sleeping. Naturally people under normal conditions wouldn't mess themselves, they'd hold it until they awaken, but holding it too long is not ideal either so ... My guess is earlier in the daytime or sometime in the evening is best.

P 110 g, 440 K/cal. => 16.29 % Minimum 0.8g = 75 g. Optimal 1.2 g = 112 g G 275 g, 1100 K/cal. => 40.82 % OK mais limite inférieure. Un peu faible. Visez 45% si bien réparti et si les glucides sont habillés. L 113 g, 1017 K/cal. => 37.7 % de lipides. OK si bien équilibré => 45% AGS (coco, beurre), 45 % AGMI (olive, avocat), 10 % AGPI. La proportion d’AGPI est évaluée à 9-10 gr par jour, dont 1.5 gr d’oméga-3 (poisson, crustacé, œufs de poules élevées en liberté). => Plage optimale des lipides: vers 30%. Minimum 20%. “What do you mean by how do I manage my image?” => Do you try to optimize body stature, for yourself or for the way people look at you? Do you want to optimize your appearance (body waist) or only your health? Which one do you target first? Questions How many times do you eat per day? If outside, how and what kind? Do you snack? No problem if well-done. (...) Do you drink low-sugar drinks (light coke e.g.)? If yes, not a good idea (microbiome perturbed).

@samson it's based but I still like my coffee simple. freshly roasted. freshly ground. freshly brewed. served hot. with a good frothed milk that can only come from milk that is high protein, like 2% fat milk, or evaporated milk or this high protein milk made especially for coffee: https://s.lazada.com.ph/s.lr1gM Gelatin added to milk will probably help make a good head of milk. Sugar to taste. If salt helps, maybe. I buy a cheap Liberica variety of coffee. It is well-roasted, and because of its low price, gets sold quickly so I am assured it us fresh. I don't try to buy organic anymore. Chances are it's only the high price that makes it "organic." I spend on a good burr grinder. So the grind does not oxidize the beans. I never buy ground coffee. It is very oxidized and destroys the taste. The Italian moka pot is cheap, but it makes good espresso. Don't have to buy espresso machines, but if I wanted to, a good one from China won't cost an arm and a leg at around US$50. A frother I like is a standalone unit that creates a nice foam with a magnetically driven stirrer. Also warms up the milk as the foam is being made. It's a Capresso. Been using it for the past 20 years. I enjoy my coffee because it's tasty and doesn't cost a lot to make. Don't make it your meal. Make it an enjoyable part of your meal. My breakfast is rice with eggs (omelet or sunny side up or over easy). With sardines in olive oil, or dried salted herring or anchovies, or crispy marbled beef nape (instead of bacon), or corned beef, or pork floss, or pork or beef sausage (German, Filipino, or Chinese). But very often, I have ground sirloin, sauteed insoy sauce, sugar, and garlic, with raisins. And accompanied by plantain banana-fried, which is a carbohydrate in the form of a fruit. Sometimes, I have boiled or roasted sweet potatoes served with butter and brown sugar or honey. Always with coffee. Sometimes black. Sometimes with sugar. And at times with well-frothed milk. Sometimes, instead I drink hot Oolong tea instead, when my breakfast is rice porridge with salted egg and pork tripe, and preserved vegetables.

@Andrewㅤ definitely trying this out. ive been looking for a way to eat more gelatine! thankyou

I would try taking a carrot salad with 1 tsp sulfur powder immediately after. I notice cyproheptadine and methylene blue are very helpful for gut issues as well

@pseudomonkey Thank you!
