@ilnyarienàfaire Am mid 20s now but have felt the same way as you when I was 17-20 at times. Do you smoke weed? Do you have a vision for your future?

I have a lot of dreams, though I’m not entirely sure if that’s good or bad.
Sign of not getting deep sleep.

@LucH
Very interesting insights! I will for sure do the candida test. What is a proper treatment for candida in your opinion? Would caprylic acid work?Regarding the other GI issues:
- Smell is generally not too bad, but sometimes it is especially on tudca when experiencing "bile dumps".
- I have up to 4 bowel movements per day and average I would say is a bit more than 2. The consistency has improved.
- On the bristol stool chart it is usually between 3-4 but rarely 5-6 as well. During the 5-6 days I seem to have less bowel movements in total.
- I would guess fermentation is in the stomach as I generally have the bloating issues quickly after eating.
I generally eat very little histamine and oxalate rich foods but I could try to lower it further.
A lot of this stuff I have overlooked and know only very little about. What would you recommend as treatment for these kinds of issues?
Thanks!

@Peatful I will get back to you with the exact temps you asked for. The range I gave you is what I remember measuring before but I do not measure often at all. I will collect some data that may help find the root cause. To be continued...

@Peatful Yes, I do have a vision, and as far back as I can remember, I have always been very ambitious—and I still am. I do not smoke weed and never have. I also haven't tried any other drugs except for phenibut and alcohol, and I’ve never used nicotine either.

@Kilgore I’ve heard some people say that, but others have a completely different opinion, which confuses me. I’m not sure it’s that big of a deal, though. I used to not remember my dreams much, but I wanted to learn about lucid dreaming, so I started keeping a dream journal. Ever since then, I’ve remembered my dreams quite well, and I believe most people could do the same. I’ve noticed that taking glycine before bed helps me dream a little more though. My main point here is that I might not dream more than anyone else, but I do remember them because I learned how.

It could be but only as a part of a plan.

Caprylic acid, combined with other antifungals of natural origin:

Vitamine D3 5 000 UI (with take of K2, otherwise no) (10 000 UI at the beginning 2 days) for immunity.

Candida and fungus tactics
Highlighting.
Here is what I said to a forumer (see link underneath)
We need to structure before beginning, structure in terms of strategy.
We hit the nail on the head again and again: Just because it’s good doesn’t mean it’s right to do it. It must be organized and coordinate to avoid withdrawal (protection) behind a biofilm. It’s during the first attack that the opportunistic bacteria/yeasts must be weakened.
We hammer/ cosh them, kick them off or shoot them down. Afterwards we consolidate and finally we have to occupy the place with probiotics.
NB: Get informed on Herxheimer crisis when LPS toxins will saturate the liver. Or you'll panic + stress ...
In summary: Weaken – kick and push out.
Coordinated and planned tactic, which results in a structured scheme:- Weaken (deprivation of resources but not complete abstinence)
- Organize to knock out (limiting the ability to adapt)
- Machin-gun (with increased die-off) + assistance to evacuate LPS endotoxins
- Consolidation (nutrients useful to ensure diversification of commensal bacteria).
- Occupy the place (diversified menus and possible contributions of specific strains depending on the terrain).
X
SIFO => Fungus / fungi (contamination with yeast)
SIBO => Bacteria (contamination by bacteria, without yeast)
• Sifo = presence of fungal opportunist(s) or in the form of yeast (dismorphism) +... other species that may be related to bacteria or microorganisms
• Sibo = the same thing but without the fungal element.

@LucH I have translated the blog post and will run this candida protocol with caprylic acid included. Thanks for the info!

@ilnyarienàfaire On dreams, I think Kilgore is right. I typically have a lot of dreams and feel unrested from them. I almost always oversleep because I am so fatigued from my dreams that I feel too groggy to get up and just go back into the dreams, if that makes sense?
I've noticed that when I do sleep and don't have dreams (or at least don't conciously process I've had them) I feel A LOT more rested when I wake up and waking is a lot easier. I wish I could give advice as to how to dream less but this is my current biggest problem for myself also.
