Gut Health!!! vol. from food allergies to anxiety

You might feel weird initially when taking Probiotics if your system is over-run with bad bacteria ( judging by the issues you listed, you sound pretty over-run with bad bacteria). This is what they call Die-off. "The probiotic bacteria make it to your digestive system, they start destroying pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi. When these pathogens die they release toxins and these are the toxins that give you your symptoms, so whatever is typical for you may temporarily get worse until it clears from your system." So you are probably feeling the effects of the mass killings of the bad bacteria.

The collagen powder or bone broth you are taking is a great idea. That has the Glutamine that protects and feeds the intestinal cells. The amino acids Proline and Glycine tighten the gut lining. Sorry to hear you been going through all those symptoms, but it sounds like you are already on the right track to eliminating all those issues.

def just took probiotics mixed in with my smoothie & i've been a bit dizzy/ high like feeling for the past hour. nothing major that will heavily impact your day but you can absolutely feel a difference. ive eliminated meat from my diet 100% until the end of the month so hopefully adding the probiotics gets my stomach healthy again.
 
Just ordered some Now Probiotic tablets, been reading up on this stuff and definitely feel like I have leaky gut. Gained a lot of weight, unnatural bowel movements, ibs, fatigue. I have tried a lot of stuff so hopefully this helps me get back on track
 
Somewhat off-topic but...


Why is it that I can drink milk, eat cereal, and eat pizza no problem.


But if I have me some ice cream or a milk shake I'm stuck in the bathroom ******** my life out?



Anyone else suffer from selective lactose intolerance like that?

I do. And I love ice cream man. The last time I had a milk shake we were driving home from the coast which is like an hour through mountains and forest for the most part. That shake hit me hard, I ended up having to pull over and bail into the woods :smh:

Also I have developed a similar intolerance to eggs. I can eat foods made from egg, and egg in small amounts, but if I straight up start my day with 2 eggs, no way. My body can't process the protein in them correctly and a few hours after I will get severe stomach cramps and bad *****. I have tried a bunch of elimination diets too.
 
Come to think of it eggs sometimes **** me up too....Not all the time but sometimes? Lawd...:x :smh:


TF is wrong with us? :lol:

Big believer in probiotics. I get mine from yogurt, pill form, and kombucha tea. Great for physical and mental health. You truly are what you eat.

"Approximately 90% of the human body's total serotonin is located in the enterochromaffin cells in the GI tract, where it is used to regulate intestinal movements"

Also I've been on a netflix documentary binge.. Forks Over Knives, Cowspiracy. Very eye opening on our health and natural resources impact. I switched to a plant based lifestyle. No more digestive problems and I'm getting a six pack. Plus my groceries are so much cheaper. My GF has been fighting tooth and nail not to eat anything but meat. After she saw cowspiracy she changed her mine. After a week of eating this way, I didn't miss meat. My gut biome has changed and craves veggies and fruits now. This is coming from someone who ate rice, beans, with chicken,pork,beef being the main focus for the past 27 years.

Yes. I don't have it often but that is a great source of probiotics

Being winter, now is a great time to get your system right.
80% of your Immune System is in the gut.
This will literally make it more difficult for you to get sick and
have a more rapid recovery time if you do.

To those who are strong enough to change their diets, props to you.
For those who don't want to, (and have poor diets), that ok.
Then you really need to have alot probiotics consistently
to combat the negative affects to the gut caused by poor dietary habits.

I lost count but its been over 90 days of probiotics, fermented veggies,
and sometimes Kombucha drinks. Im 30 but I feel like I was when I was 18. I always had high
energy but that faded away as I got older. But now I feel pretty close to
how I used to. Wish I coulda been feeling liek this the whole time.
My metablism is back rockin, I don't ever feel anxiety or stress.
I feel colossal these days. Im glad all this info is being well received.
I hope this knowledge improves your lives and is spread further.

Thanks for replying... I'm going to try fixing my dietary habits. I'm not getting any younger and usually feel sluggish and stressed.
 
heard good stuff about betaine HCL.  to aid digestion

fixyourgut.com

gotta reduce inflammatory foods i.e. gluten filled carbs mostly lol

please do not eliminate meats from your diet, but rather be way more selective.  truly grass fed/finished beef, pasture raised pork/chicken, wild caught fish.  you need real protein.

eliminate cooking with vegetable oils. make your own ghee from organic butter

some of the stuff that's helped out personally.

gl to everyone

School me on exactly what your daily diet plan looks like pls?
 
For those that have their gut and diet game going well, have you also cut out all alcohol 100% ?
 
U can lol. It'll get old real fast though.

Cook with it, use it in salads maybe? Look into MCT oil
 
I was watching tv and this doctor said doing a few small fasts is good for your gut health and it sort of gives your gut a break and resets it. I ain't about that fast life though. I'm always hungry.

Well I know I had bad gut health by reading this thread, and before taking probiotics, small fasts was the only way for me to get relief.

It was only temporary though so wouldn't really recommend it.

Then again I'm not a doctor.

I'm gonna guess all the added sugar. Fat takes the longest to digest while pure table sugar digests the quickest. Ice cream and milkshakes have a ton of both so it ends up fermenting and thus bubble guts.

Somewhat interesting article that talks about calories, but also mentions 'things' about gut health...

http://www.theatlantic.com/health/a...es-a-calorie-measure/427089/#article-comments

[/In 2013, researchers in Jeffrey Gordon’s lab at Washington University tracked down pairs of twins of whom one was obese and one lean. He took gut microbes from each, and inserted them into the intestines of microbe-free mice. Mice that got microbes from an obese twin gained weight; the others remained lean, despite eating the exact same diet. “That was really striking,” said Peter Turnbaugh, who used to work with Gordon and now heads his own lab at the University of California, San Francisco. “It suggested for the first time that these microbes might actually be contributing to the energy that we gain from our diet.”

The diversity of microbes that each of us hosts is as individual as a fingerprint and yet easily transformed by diet and our environment. And though it is poorly understood, new findings about how our gut microbes affect our overall energy balance are emerging almost daily. For example, it seems that medications that are known to cause weight gain might be doing so by modifying the populations of microbes in our gut. In November 2015, researchers showed that risperidone, an antipsychotic drug, altered the gut microbes of mice who received it. The microbial changes slowed the animals’ resting metabolisms, causing them to increase their body mass by 10 percent in two months. The authors liken the effects to a 30-pound weight gain over one year for an average human, which they say would be the equivalent of an extra cheeseburger every day.
Other evidence suggests that gut microbes might affect weight gain in humans as they do in lab animals. Take the case of the woman who gained more than 40 pounds after receiving a transplant of gut microbes from her overweight teenage daughter. The transplant successfully treated the mother’s intestinal infection of Clostridium difficile, which had resisted antibiotics. But, as of the study’s publication last year, she hadn’t been able to shed the excess weight through diet or exercise. The only aspect of her physiology that had changed was her gut microbes.

All of these factors introduce a disturbingly large margin of error for an individual who is trying, like Nash, Haelle, and millions of others, to count calories. The discrepancies between the number on the label and the calories that are actually available in our food, combined with individual variations in how we metabolize that food, can add up to much more than the 200 calories a day that nutritionists often advise cutting in order to lose weight. Nash and Haelle can do everything right and still not lose weight.

So within this past year fixing my gut has been of the utmost importance to me. What I started doing, because I believe I suffer from IBS, is starting taking some supplements early in the morning.

So as of right now I take

Schiff's Digestive Advantage Probiotics, and
Triphala extract which is an indian ayurvedic herb know to support digestion, colon, and immunity health.

Have to say that the problems I faced before are much much better but I still do suffer from bloating and some fatigue here and there. That's why this is only my start. I have to get my diet right. I'm trying my best to not eat so many processed foods, spicy foods, etc. I still do have my days when I like to eat this crap though.

And for anyone interested Onnit.com has a nice pdf d/l on detoxing and a diet plan for getting your body right that's free. D/l it last week and while they ultimately want you to buy their products, it's still good info and you can figure out a way to buy the same ingredients somewhere else.
 
good post jthagreat jthagreat There are tons of people who work out and struggle to lose weight and can't understand why.

Gill Baka Esq. LLC. Gill Baka Esq. LLC. I looked up what you are taking. Glad to hear that its helping some. you may want to get a probiotic that contains the same Bacillus coagulans that you are taking, but with additional probiotic strains and more cfus (colony forming units). More strains will give you a wider coverage and tackle different issues that might be linked triggers and more cfus will increase their presence and speed up change.

For those who asked for my daily diet plan. I don't think its anything special. I shop almost exclusively at Trader Joes to cut down on poor quality produce and meats (and its cheap). I was always a vegetarian ( and I ate fish) until Aug 2014, when I found out my daughter was allergic to fish, beans, and everything else edible lol. So I changed my diet with her and eating poultry now for the first time ever, so she could get some protein. So I eat lean meats ( not fed anti-biotics, growth hormones, etc). We eat alot of vegetables and fruits. I get organic when I can, but Im not too strict with it. I still eat starches. What I do try to be strict about is using more natural products like cane sugar, Himalayan or sea salt, unbleached flours. We prolly eat out at a friends/families or restaurant twice a month other than that, everything prepared at home. So I know as much as I can, the quality of the food Im eating. Dont really eat processed foods like that.

I lift weights 2-3 times a week and cardio 1-2 times a week.

In the morning I drink some Kombucha or Kefir water with whatever probiotic I'm taking at the time .
View media item 1888298The arab looking jar houses the Kombucha. Its low rite now and that thing in their at the spigot level is the SCOBY.
View media item 1888271I has a lot of strains and is formulated to mostly survive the gut. Wish it had more cfus tho. But it works for me
**Kombucha has more potency, less strains- Kefir has more strains less potency** My wife has a brewing system and we have 2 gallons of Kombucha on tap and a half gallon of Kefir water. Takes time to ferment tho, so I usually drink one or the other in the am. Whatevers available.

Random day last week:
Usually not but if I'm hungry for breakfast, homemade oatmeal wit some fruit in it
Lunch: large smoothie ( kale, spinach, strawberry, blueberry, banana, maybe some oats)
Dinner: turkey burger wit Swiss, avocado, spinach for lettuce, on an english muffin and cheese fries.

snack: chips and salsa and a smoothie

Lately I have been looking into probiotics' effects on hairloss.
( I tend to lean to my mother side of the fam in terms of hair type
and most the males on her side baldo- I DONT have the head for a baldy.
Im strait right now but I wanna be proactive. If I gotta go tho, Im going down swinging )

Hairloss is based somewhat on genetics, diet/lifestyle, and your environment.
I want to know if probiotics play a role in regrowing or retaining current hair.
I have been researching claims that say it does affect it, and with my limited knowledge of the
science behind it, I can see how. There is not enough info on the claims as the other
benefits or probiotics because its still something being newly studied. But the
fact that there is some early data saying as such, it looks promising.
