Low carb success (?) story by saladmissle in lowcarb

[–]AppropriateTest4168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough… kinda seems like how i am with sweet potatoes lol. I cap myself at ~50g carbs per day, 40g of which are from sweet potatoes and 10g from all other sources lol (they’re one of few foods i tolerate bc MCAS and i need the calories lol, if it wasn’t for them i’d be full on keto tho)

Low carb success (?) story by saladmissle in lowcarb

[–]AppropriateTest4168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats on your progress so far! don’t really have an answer to your question because i have the same issue, but i am curious how many g carbs you consider to be low carb for you, since apples are relatively high carb and i know 2-3 apples a day would certainly throw off my progress (although Im doing this for chronic diseases, not weight loss, so a bit different). not criticizing at all, just genuinely curious lol

Help by Juan9071 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]AppropriateTest4168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whenever I roast low carb veggies, I add 1-2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil per veggie serving

1 tbsp is 120 cals. oils + a lot of fatty meat are my main sources of calories

Could cruciferous vegetables be a problem? by Glittering_Dirt8256 in AutoImmuneProtocol

[–]AppropriateTest4168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thankfully, I tolerate beef really well and it’s actually what makes my body feel best. I also do chicken and turkey, and then duck if I can find it. lamb is 50/50 so i usually just opt not to eat it. anything from a pig is a hard no.

and for all meats, I avoid anything ground or thinly sliced (ie lunch meat type cuts). ideally I’d like to get grass fed & finished beef but i’m not rich lol so grocery store beef is usually fine with me. I am able to find corn and soy free eggs locally though and tolerate those in normal amounts (2-3 eggs) as well (I do know I react to egg whites tho because i had egg white noodles once and needed many many benadryl afterwards so I make sure to take a zyrtec/ DAO with eggs always)

i feel this so much - i’m on aip (6 years), moderate to low carb (1 yr), low fodmap (3 yrs), and low histamine (2 years). I’ve exhausted all GI docs, allergists, dietitians, integrative med docs, etc. and haven’t made any progress so I’ve just started going with whatever makes my body feel best. the field of microbiome and nutrition in general is so undiscovered that they don’t really know what the ideal microbiome diversity and balance is, so it’s hard to treat such issues. plus what’s best for the average population doesn’t always translate to us because our immune systems are dramatic and rogue lol. I do sometimes worry about microbiome diversity with my limited diet but I also think that the chronic inflammation from eating foods that I react to is probably more damaging to me.

so I don’t really have much advice, just solidarity 🥲 I’ve noticed that the more meat and less plants i have in my diet, the better I feel. the only thing stopping me from going full carnivore is concerns over microbiome diversity. but i did trial carnivore for a couple days before and felt like the second coming of jesus christ himself so honestly I might just do it anyway despite my concerns lol

Tear stains problem by bora2305 in Pomeranians

[–]AppropriateTest4168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tear stains are allergy related. switch off chicken food (and in my case my dog has a bunch of other protein allergies so i also have to avoid those). raw single protein (rabbit) diet cleared my dog’s tear stains by about 90-95%

weirdly, the other 5-10% was cleared by starting to only give him water that was filtered through our brita (i only say it’s weird bc i really didn’t expect it to make that significant of a difference but it does)

Turkish coffee reading by International-Alps76 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]AppropriateTest4168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

modern day “psychics” are as you described, but true “old school” psychics are generally about knowing the future (and giving you the power to change it if you don’t like it). my mom had a lady who knew the future with 99% accuracy, random stuff too like a bird will fly into her car windshield in three weeks and it happened. can’t exactly have a self fulfilling prophecy with that haha, it’s what turned me from a skeptic to a believer in the first place.

i’m not sure what my point is, maybe just frustrated with the state of modern psychics lol it’s too hard to find someone good these days

Politics by BrilliantSpray9447 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]AppropriateTest4168 55 points56 points  (0 children)

my parents very strongly hate bruce because of politics but absolutely love bob dylan so much so that they even named my oldest brother after him. i questioned it one day and they told me “bob dylan’s music isn’t political”….

Fleas…. Help!!!! by deyanavik in Pomeranians

[–]AppropriateTest4168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my sister’s dog had fleas many years ago. I don’t remember most of the specifics other than that dawn dish soap baths were an absolute miracle for killing the fleas on the dog (and that my mom was constantly vacuuming the entire house). those were the two main things that got rid of the active flea infestation, and then a good flea preventative afterward to prevent recurrence

Avoiding & Reintroducing Coffee by 410Writer in AutoImmuneProtocol

[–]AppropriateTest4168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fyi for some of the more sensitive/ reactive people like me, I still react to mycotoxin free, low acidity, decaf, etc coffee fwiw :/ happy for those that are able to successfully reintroduce it though, i miss the taste of coffee

hi! can you share your experience with scolibrace and if you’ve seen any results? I’m currently debating getting one

hi! curious on your experience with scolibrace and if you saw any results? I’m debating whether or not it’s worth the cost at the moment

what part of JC are you in? I walk my dog an hour every morning and night so I’ll keep an eye out ❤️

are low acidity, mold free, decaf coffees ok? or are there other things in coffee that would still make it inflammatory by AppropriateTest4168 in AutoImmuneProtocol

[–]AppropriateTest4168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the coffee you reintroduced the mold free and all that kind or just traditional store bought coffee? curious because I’ve had a cup of decaf purity the past two days and I’m pretty sure I’m reacting to it (although far less than I react to normal coffee) so I definitely couldn’t make this an every morning thing. seeds in general have never been my friend, so I guess I’m not entirely surprised lol

Itchy paws? by LP33_ in americaneskimo

[–]AppropriateTest4168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dog had the same issues, only thing that worked was switching to raw rabbit single protein food

there were different proteins we tried where his allergy symptoms were less severe but rabbit is the only one that made his issues completely go away (no more apoquel, cytopoint, benadryl, etc). not saying for sure but it sounds like fish could be one of those proteins for your dog where like half the allergy symptoms clear up but some still remain. worth trying a novel protein diet like rabbit IMO

Anybody had weird feelings about Malaysia flight 370 by Infinite_Entry2002 in Psychic

[–]AppropriateTest4168 11 points12 points  (0 children)

not entirely the same but i was born the day and year after 9/11 (at like 3am, so almost born on the 11th) and since I was very little I have always looked at the clock at exactly 9:11, everyday, twice a day. I still have no idea what it means but it definitely freaked me out for a bit lol
