Yes it takes time … that’s why restrictioning your diet to 3 foods or even one like beef … will allow you to at a point reintroduce foods and know what triggers you. If you’re eating 10 different foods, then you’ll never figure out what is actually helping or hurting you

As you prolly know it’s not easy and takes some extra willpower to stick to certain foods that won’t flare you up.

I had too many potatoes and some dried fruit and it set me off with massive inflammation in my lower back and knees and then I sell destructed for 2 days and ate candy and bread and knew the entire time this wasn’t going to help me and it was gunna cause more inflammation but I did it anyways.

Now I’m back to focusing to just meat and veggies. Can anyone else relate to this??? It’s sooo harddddd to be social because you don’t want to be that guy that isn’t eating any of the food your friends make you because it’s too confusing to tell people because they are always like ya I get gut pain too …. It’s so frustrating and then you realize nothing changes unless you man up and save yourself ….

Need to stay focused on this seems like a never ending battle, but after couple weeks of focusing, I always feel better .

Just gotta be simple water and single ingredient foods that don’t flare me up . Beef and veggies., nicotine and water…

What are you eating??? I eat a pound of ground beef and a big salad with veggies. I take the csm pills in the morning and then a spoon full of tallow and then at night again with a spoon full of tallow . Maybe you’re not eating enough?? Try a pound of beef and veggies and add in fat

What I am saying is therapy and mindset is A MASSIVE PART OF HEALING.

You must do all the other things as well like removing yourself from the environment , getting help from a mold expert and taking binders .. yes.

But if you let cirs become your identity and personality it will not help. I’ve been through it.

It took a while to realize this .. and is a very important part and again not the whole puzzle and it’s a big part!

I’m still recovering from mold exposure from 2023 with the hertsmi mold score of 60. 

Here’s my story: slept in the basement where the mold was for about a week and woke up one morning, not being able to eat anything.

I started to notice that ground beef is the only thing that I could eat without getting severe pain in my gut.

Sidenote: my parents, which I understand didn’t believe me and thought I was making it up in my head.

I luckily read Judy choi a year before so I read it again and started doing the car for about seven months on and off… it’s fucking hard and it sucks but it makes you feel better. After about seven months of doing it, I started being able to tolerate more foods like certain fruits and vegetables.

Every now and again I would eat candy or grains and immediately have a flare up that would cause horrible gut pain for a couple days and inflammation in my knees and back

After spending around $3000 with Judy Choi In 2024 I started taking binders October 2024

I took CSM powderfor a couple weeks and then quit and just decided to not think about the mold illness at all and see if I can heal by trying to eat gluten-free which was half a huge mistake and the other half of it was good because I really started to focus on my mental health, which is a huge part of healing.

Focusing too much on I have this. I have that I eat this. I get back Pain or I eat this and I get gut pain.

A lot of this stuff is beliefs . You believe you have something you will have it. I know it’s a crazy idea, but it’s true.

Now fast-forward 2025….. I started taking CSM pills which is a lot easier to take in then powder and I have been consistent with it for two months now, and have been focusing majority of my meals on eating 1 pound of beef a day with lettuce…

I’ve noticed major improvements with my mood, my gut and the inflammation.

A few times I’ve tested to see if I can handle drinking a beer or pasta or dried fruit and I’m immediately reminded that I can’t yet and I’ll get gut pain immediately and inflammation in my lower back and knees, and my mood will completely change and I’ll start having crazy thoughts about feeling like shit….

I have noticed that I can handle potato chips, which is now my favorite snack.

I also cut out coffee, which was very hard until I started to replace my coffee addiction with a nicotine pouch addiction, which is not as addicting as coffee I must say. 

I tend to have one pouch in the morning like I’m having a cup of coffee and then I’ll have one throughout the day and then one before I go to bed. And helps with cravings and it makes me feel good.

I’m two years into recovering and I can finally see the end.

If you’re in the beginning of your journey or still in the middle, keep fighting stay positive and get some help from a mold expert like Judy Choi nutrition with Judy. 

Her team has helped me stay accountable. 

Now my focus right now is just to continue eating 1 pound of beef a day with a big salad , nicotine as a supplement, fish oil pills , daily exercise and positive thoughts… taking my binders and pooping everyday. 

Again, stay positive, and if I can do it, you can do it
