It's amazing how little you can eat when you eat a high amount of fats. Today for breakfast, which was more like lunch in terms of the time of day, I had two hard boiled eggs wrapped in sliced ham, the ham is a novelty, along with a few cups of coffee, then for dinner I had some more of a chicken curry I made the other day, a small portion relative ( Read more... )

'...Glutamine with probiotics can have beneficial effects when treating intestinal permeability in patients with severe disorders. This combination could generate a synergistic effect by increasing the amount of Lactobacillus, slowing down the growth of Gram-negative bacteria, improving the structure of the intestinal flora, and restoring damage to ( Read more... )

I walked into my kitchen today after farting about upstairs just as the music player, on Roon radio, the random tracks it plays after the one I pick finishes, was at the 2:22 mark in the first movement of Shostakovich's String Quartet no 8, just at that famous melody. I must be doing something right.

I read in that excellent medical paper on leaky gut I posted that absorption of Vitamin A can be a problem, so I looked into it. It turns out that gut or liver problems can make it difficult to convert Vitamin A in food form to that used by the body. One of the symptoms of Vitamin A deficiency is tired, dry eyes, which I've had for years, which can ( Read more... )

I keep on watching this, in amazement. It's created by AI. Getting past the bouncers would have been the hard part - 'no trainers'. The club looks fun, quite the range of people, all unfortuately looking like Gordon Ramsay. The tune isn't bad either.

I woke up early yesterday morning without a headache. It took me about a minute to work out why I felt so well. When I moved around I went back to feellng my usual crap. It's like a fraction of what that woman described going through with her head injury in the documentary Fasting: The Movie (available to watch on Prime). A very small fraction. My ( Read more... )

I made a quiche the other day that I last made around fifteen years ago. It's a potato, goats cheese and spinach quiche by Rachel Allen that I made from a magazine back then, and I'd been trying to find it online since, as I threw out the tv guide. Last week I thought to look for 'tart' and there it was. When I made it last it was a Sunday, I was ( Read more... )

Looks like I’m giving up bread again.

Interestingly, the approach taken isn't just the keto diet, which kills glucose, but also a pulsed suppression of glutamine.

I could take the cold shower water more quickly this morning. It's hard to describe the feeling that happens. a few seconds in I feel something change and it's like I'm more resistant to the cold water rather than feeling warmer, so I felt confident enough to take the shower head off and spray the back of my neck, normally I do a quick pirouette or ( Read more... )

It makes sense that my health problems are due to my gut. In the last few years of drinking I was spending forty minutes a day on the toilet - I often wished for a heated toilet seat - eventually my gut couldn't take it anymore and, maybe, I got leaky gut, or something like it. I'm not giving up kefir anytime soon, certainly not because of the cost ( Read more... )
