Anyone mess with that Kim chi? Its fuego with some rice and a grass fed steak. I just bought some along with a few kombucha.
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 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 TF is wrong with us?
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. stronglifts.com gl to everyone
sound like a silly question, but how do you eat coconut oil? just grabbing a spoon and eating it like peanut butter?
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
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 There are tons of people who work out and struggle to lose weight and can't understand why. @GrimlocK 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 . Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler! The arab looking jar houses the Kombucha. Its low rite now and that thing in their at the spigot level is the SCOBY. I 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. Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler! 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. http://www.livestrong.com/article/309545-probiotics-and-hair-loss/ http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/jason-tetro/probiotics-shiny-hair_b_3479194.html
