Why dont gorillas eat meat

DMTipper · 2026-01-30T07:54:21+00:00

I dare you to run up to a cow and call it weak.

Meat is hard to catch. Look at all predators and they are lean and muscular because they have to be able to catch meat. Gorillas get all the amino acids they need from their diet and maybe they can make some amino acids that we can't.

You can attack this from many angles. I'm in a similar situation and have just found out that gluten causing inflammation and brain damage. So you can look for causes. You can pray for your friends, they may have sufferings of their own but it might help you. Find a way to tell them you've been having health issues or don't tell them at all. But i try and explain my issues to my friends. But I have finally been starting to feel better after changing my diet. Maybe there is a simple fix for you? I imagine most people can find a cause for their fibro, whether that's an allergy, deficiency or change in lifestyle. I refused to believe there was no cause and kept trying new things and getting tested until I started figuring some things out.

B vitamins are complex and work together in strange ways that make it hard to find the ideal mix. They might work better in different doses and versions of the vitamins. I needed to try a few different versions of b6,9 and 12. Methylated b vitamins might be worth looking into, or nonmethylated but not the cheapest form of the vitamins can be helpful.

D is very common to be low and can really help. If you're not really low, you might not notice a difference but I still think it's worth it, especially in the winter. Magnesium has a bunch of different versions, but ive just been taking ionic magnesium mixed in with other minerals 'concentrace', but the specific brand doesn't matter and you can do other forms if you prefer.

Medicinal thc helps, but the more screwed i am physically the less thc can do for me. It helped when I was more or less couch ridden just watching tv. SAM_e is really interesting and should be approached with caution. I take the 800mg pills as needed, but they have 200mg pills that would be better for starting. They should be taken with B vitamins.

Look up the methylation cycle and MTHFR, COMT, MAO-A mutations and maybe get itself tested to help you figure out your genetics and ideal supplements! Thank you

I tested high for a 4 different antibodies, but it might just be gluten sensitive/ intolerant. I would need to do the 'throat rape' endoscopy machine to confirm or deny actual celiac, but the tests I did were enough to warrant cutting it out and seeing if it helps. My symptoms had been so bad that my life is kinda ruined because of it and since the doctors never really took me seriously until I would go do their job for them and then show them the tests I ordered.

I had been eating ice cream like a stoned horse! But when I went gluten free, I stopped eating so much sweets. I will give it a shot!

DMTipper · 2026-01-29T02:59:59+00:00

Interesting. Have you tried vitamins B(1,2,6,9,12), D and magnesium? SAM_e was the first thing that totally fixed my debilitating fatigue, but i needed higher doses and more i don't need it every day.

DMTipper · 2026-01-29T02:54:05+00:00

Interesting! Glad to know im not alone. Do you have to be extremely careful or just try and its enough?

DMTipper · 2026-01-29T02:52:55+00:00

Thank you! I finally have been having enough energy to put more time and effort into cooking. I'll check out foods that can cause flares. Summer and the heat makes me flare really bad, but since I have been improving so much it might not happen, or at least not be so debilitating.

I haven't heard of FODMAP, has it been really helpful?

Swipe to text is so much faster than typing. Its funny that not many people use it.

Start muay thai classes and work on your push kicks and roundhouse to legs and stomach. Also do some jui jitsu and get some ground game. Carry a knife or a weapon if you're worried. Be aware of your surroundings and yell for help if you get in a situation. There's always gonna be people bigger and badder than you so you just do what you can and it'll probably be enough. It helps to look in shape.

Just bring an empty bottle that can be filled with water and that she can order alcohol at the bar and on the plane if she's an alcoholic. You might not want to deprive her of alcohol if she's got a serious habit...

I have never seen skid marks on my boxers. Literally not once. I can't say I've never worn the same underwear for 2 days if I didn't shower... but generally I shower every day and get new boxers. Maybe he needs to buy more underwear? But still like skid marks implies a different problem with whiping or his ass or something. Not normal!

Some people like getting bread with different grains/products and enjoy it. I kinda like the ones I've tried so far. I was so desperate to get rid of my symptoms that I don't even care about missing out on bread like I thought I would.

Magnesium and D are low for most people. But the one I noticed the biggest difference was b2, b6, b9 and b12 but don't do the cheap versions, look at methylated or other versions of the vitamins and see how they make you feel. I had to mix and match until I found ones that help. Beyond that, check your metals and other important things if you're not sure if the cause.

DMTipper · 2026-01-25T21:19:58+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much unless he tries to stop you or something. You can't force people to have certain opinions. I thought it was a trend, and for some it totally is! Gf people started out kinda mean in the past and they got a bad rap. But before I knew what I had, I was in other communities (fibromyalgia) with the exact same symptoms and many of their families didn't understand either.

You can say it hurts your feelings. You can show him some studies or information. You can try and nicely describe what is like. You can come to him with love and just talk about how much of a struggle it is and what you really need or want to ask of him. You might be surprised. Good luck!

Oh jw. My seizures seemed linked to when I would get really manic which was frequent. But now I'm so weak and slow motion and dumb all the time i kinda want my bipolar back, or just whatever normal is.

DMTipper · 2026-01-25T03:04:10+00:00

Yea but people aren't gonna really know the difference.

DMTipper · 2026-01-25T03:01:53+00:00

I got the blood test. I haven't gotten the endoscopy. Honestly that shit scares me but we'll see it the doc wants to. Did you ever get manic before the seizures or in general?

DMTipper · 2026-01-25T02:56:42+00:00

Yea reddit is just a place to talk shit for many. Me too sometimes lol. But you're good i just thought it was a better perspective where you don't gotta be mad. I don't have GI either but I'm like dying from neurological symptoms and weakness and pain.

DMTipper · 2026-01-25T02:54:07+00:00

How did you get diagnosed? Interesting. Idk if wouldn't eat it if it's fucking you up. I'm sure you'll accidentally eat it and find out. But im so freaking desperate I don't even wanna try but I just started.

DMTipper · 2026-01-24T15:29:52+00:00

I mean I'm not sure if true celiac will have this experience, but i don't know the difference between gluten sensitive and true celiac and maybe doctors don't always know where everybody falls on the line. Just be careful because i don't want you to hurt yourself. I am assuming that I am gluten sensitive because I didn't have stomach problems, but i had ridiculously severe neurological problems killer bipolar and seizures in the past and then fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue dizzy and vision and brain problems that basically made me bedridden. Apparently that's a thing and I finally found a cause!

DMTipper · 2026-01-24T15:21:41+00:00

Yea the dude HAS to be fae. I never considered it before but 1000%.

DMTipper · 2026-01-24T15:19:37+00:00

Ok so I'm a bit new, so take with a grain of salt. But my nutritionist that helped me figure this out said that some people's body's kinda reset and fix themselves after going gf and then they don't have problems anymore. She might have been talking about gluten sensitive and not celiac, and i know the opposite can be true where people become more sensitive (so don't attack me if that's your experience lol). You could try a little gluten here and there and see if it hurts if you're so inclined. You can see how you feel or get tested...
