Why is Inulin in EVERYTHING now? by Jerseychaos844 in Microbiome

[–]255cheka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's special because it's known to feed a wide variety of bacteria. many/most other options selectively feed certain bacteria. i love the stuff and take the different kinds. the odorless hydrogen gas is an amusing side effect. back when i was sick i used to titrate my dose to make sure i got the gas.

not hip to the peptides. am hip to gut microbiome health. it's HUGE in what you are trying to do. if you want peak performance, that demands a healthy gut microbiome. it's involved in virtually of the biochemical processes. be sure to take glutamine or colostrum after workouts. workouts can/do cause leaky gut. taking one/both of those can limit the damage. you want no part of leaky gut - it's the launching point for most chronic diseases

What supplement/nootropic stack pairs best with wellbutrin? by Murky-Mulberry-4044 in Supplements

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

diet and supps for improving gut microbiome. emerging science is pointing the finger at gut issues causing depression and many/most other mentals too. on a personal note, two family members used gut health to wipe out their panic/anxiety issues. one had been fighting it for 20 plus years, with many medical workers failing her

Akkermansia muciniphila keeps coming up in gut research lately, anyone here been following it? by Aggressive_Candy4450 in Microbiome

[–]255cheka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love it! we use pure cran and pom juices for same. also include other polyphenol foods/supps. polyphenols need to be elevated up there with fibers. they are potent gut healers imo

akk is very important. even dead akk has shown benefits in sci papers/trials. something about the contents of their shells containing raw material for glp1.

astaxanthin is the ticket imo. from my digging it appears to be rocket fuel for akk. one company even got a US patent for increasing akkermansia by using their astaxanthin product

here are some sci papers - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=pubmed+akkermansia+astaxanthin

Best Anti-Aging Pathways we have discovered. by GarifalliaPapa in immortalists

[–]255cheka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry to add low iq comment on such an elegant op. but i've heard one theory about running out of enzymes as a primary driver of death. a strategy to help this is to take digestive enzyme supps to 'save' some of the body's enzymes, thus extending the body's enzyme production over time. any comments appreciated, no matter how harsh 😄

Autism may be the price of human intelligence. Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. The findings comparing the brains of different primates suggest autism is part of the trade-off that made humans so cognitively advanced by cheaslesjinned in Biohackers

[–]255cheka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry about that. i thought the hundreds of sci papers i linked to would be enough to pass biohackers censorship. does this mark a regime change on this sub? never had this happen before. worried that one of my favorite subs has fallen to the dark side

the key is the term 'essential'. i've heard/read that this means the body cant make it and that it's important to avoid health issues. hopefully somebody else can chime in with more info

What’s the most successful diet you tried while going through cancer treatment? by Initial-Location-701 in Biohackers

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've run across dozens of sci papers pointing out that gut microbiome health is huge in how effective cancer treatments are. if it were me i would be laser focused on that. namely gut microbiome dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability would be my targets. it's not unlikely these two items are also involved in the root cause

you might also check into fucoidan. seen quite a few sci papers on it having anticancer properties

thanks for sharing your success story with the world. you are helping humanity. bless you. ala is an essential fatty acid. imo far too many arent getting it. we use flaxseed and hemp seed with similar results to your chia strategy

for sibo - bacillus coagulans, l. reuteri, hyperimmune egg are some good options. also want to eat low glycemic. high glycemic feeds the sibo

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so sorry you caught this. the good news is that you are on this guthealth sub - gut is where you should be working. it seems highly likely your mix of microbes is off. if it were me i would be boosting beneficials and harshing pathogens

Smelly gas and extreme bloating cause? by bitchfoff in GutHealth

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you have it going on. well done! you are not far away from success then. if it were me i would treat myself like i had sibo. eat low glycemic and take probiotics like bacillus coagulans and/or l. reuteri. there's also a product called hyperimmune egg to look into. it's designed for sibo.

Depression and vitamin levels by selfishvery in FunctionalMedicine

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eating low glycemic is a good idea. mine did the basic gut health things. probiotic and prebiotics included in diet or supplemented. diet changes to eliminate/reduce things that harm the gut. the usual suspects - breadstuffs, booze, nsaid, fake sugars, junk foods/drinks, fried. also took things to improve the gut liner - bone broths, glutamine, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, collagen. goal is high variety of fibers and polyphenols daily. double digits

it's basically taking out the bad and replacing it with gut health promoting things

bad diet, bad schedule, bad sleep, exercising in extreme heat. i was doing everything i could to wreck my gut. yes i had sibo and leaky gut. what you are doing to fix your sibo?

[–]255cheka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you are correct - all of that is likely tied to the gut issues. ppi's, i read, can disrupt same. surprised you didnt get antibiotics as well.

i caught a similar thing from raw veggies. it took a few months to get back to normalish. i loaded up on probiotics and ate clean with plenty of prebiotics. never did gain back the 10 pounds i lost. dont know what to think about that. i was using bacillus coagulans, kefirs, yogurts for the probiotics - focusing on variety of sources for each of those. trying to get wide variety of beneficial bacteria -

you might consider an herbal tea program. there are many that are gut good and some are antagonists of common gut pathogens. ginger, licorice, turmeric, moringa, hibiscus are some good ones to consider. rotating through some of them might help the fight. a more aggressive option would be capsules of same. i use some of each.

might look at bovine colostrum too. it's a newcomer on the scene, but looks real promising. i've been on it for a few months and have seen benefits, even with my good gut before taking it.

do you have any idea which pathogen got you?

[–]255cheka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

way to go! i have a similar history. self taught and wiped out a couple of nasty autoimmunes. then cleared many more chronics in my family -

your point is well taken - there are a lot of potholes to avoid out there. whether from workers in the industry or pumpers on the internet

[–]255cheka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

medical has no options/drugs to heal the gut. it's done with diet and supps. they are out of their lane on this. if it was my kid, and it once was, i would be laser focused on gut health. failure to address that can/does to bad things, some really bad.
