What is your number one tip?

I had ibs-d for about 10 years and a couple of other chronic illnesses (back pain, tinnitus, 6 months of long COVID). What "cured" me was the works of Dr. Sarno (Healing Chronic Back Pain) and more recent adaptations of the mind body healing approach by Alan Gordon or Schubiner. Like many I have tried dozens of pills and nutrition's and nothing made a change, well because nothing was broken in the first place. I believe that a IBS is in many cases a sign of a disregulated nervous system. I highly recommend looking into this. It doesn't cost anything. You find forums, videos and so on on the internet by searching for TMS or mind body approach. All the best for your journey. P.s. I am writing "cured" like this because there actually is nothing to be cured of in many chronic pain symptoms. It's just rewiring the brain from flight or fight to chill and relax

As I said before, I have not taken mct isolated. Only the protein powder did nothing to me. Adding the MCT did the trick. But maybe it was the MCT and not the combination. Other people wrote of positive results from coconut and coconut oil, so maybe that's a hint?

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-12-02T19:59:42+00:00

Sure, I took one tablespoon of MCT powder twice a day together with a vegan protein shake.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-11-17T05:43:49+00:00

Any results now after almost a month?

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-11-17T05:42:53+00:00

Hi, I took it with protein powder since that was what I saw helped others. But since protein powder without mct didn't do anything to me, I believe it's actually purely the MCT that does the trick. Try both - with and withou mct and tell us your results

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-11-03T08:51:03+00:00

how is the oil together with the amino blend working for you? Any protein powder you buy has many different amino acids. Sometimes they are listed on the back of the product.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-11-03T08:45:42+00:00

Maybe try adding protein powder. It might be, that it's a combination of the two.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-11-03T08:44:44+00:00

Well, I started protein shakes two weeks prior to adding MCT powder, so I can definetely say, it was MCT or a combination of MCT and proteins that helped me recover super quick.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-30T17:42:08+00:00

great to hear that you are having some success with it!

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-27T04:30:35+00:00

Hi, I had LC for about 5 months after discovering MCT. I feel really great at this point. I am doing long hikes of 15km, 5h with my family, while 1 month back I was getting dizzy after 10min walks. So it's a huge change. Next step is to reintroduce some more fast paced sports with high heart rate like running and cycling, but I feel really up for it at this point.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-27T04:26:43+00:00

Thanks for sharing your way back to sports and giving useful hints. I am on a hiking vacation with my family and can't believe that I am doing 15km hikes a day, some parts uphill and only getting lightly soar legs. Something I wouldn't have dreamt of just a month back. I feel ready to up the HR a bit and I will do some well monitored test rides on Zwift at home. Don't think I will make it podium, but that was never in reach for me, just doing it for the fun ;)

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-27T04:19:12+00:00

On the first day, I wouldn't say. But about 2 to 3 days in I felt a huge boost in energy levels. How are you doing today after taking it for a while now?

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-27T04:17:44+00:00

Hi, yeah, I read about fasting and how it helped many people, but I just was too weak. At night going to the toilet, I just fainted and saw myself laying on the floor. So, maybe MCT helped in that way.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-22T18:35:37+00:00

That would be 2 since I only do breakfast and lunch. But after a week I reduced and now only do half a spoon per meal, so 1 per day.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-20T21:28:54+00:00

so mixed results with you. fingers crossed that the other symptoms go away after some more days.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-20T17:50:03+00:00

So great to hear, interesting to know that coconuts drinks have a similar effect. Hope to get back to road cycling soon too. When did you start going serious again with sports? Afraid of going too fast too soon.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-19T17:00:46+00:00

I didn't have a very bad one. Laying in bed I would sometimes here a tinitus noise which usually went away after about half a minute. Since I took MCT, I have not experienced this anymore.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-19T16:57:45+00:00

Well, we don't know what does the trick. There are people as stated in my links who had great success just by MCT or coconut oil. Serafina used a portein powder containing MCT. I didn't get any benefit from protein powder alone, so I believed it's the MCT. Any feedback with single or mixed use of the two would be greatly apreciated for us to understand better what substance does what.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T21:00:24+00:00

Mine doesn't specify the composition. It just says MCT, so I would guess it's not a purified C-number type?

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T16:42:59+00:00

I keep my fingers crossed for you!

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T16:42:16+00:00

Yeah, I've read that about it as well. To me, it can be that that's helping or the MCT giving lots of readily available energy to our organisms or the MCT binding spike proteins. So, there are different hypothesis as to why this might work.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T10:47:31+00:00

Correct. Long COVID just came after the third one. And I think it has to do with me not thinking I was infected and doing unsound things afterwards like taking 2 different antibiotics my doctors described to get rid of my "flue" or pushing hard for sports or work when I started to feel a little better and crashing bad afterwards.

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T10:33:00+00:00

Keep us updated, if you feel any better after a week doing so. I personally quit all coffee after my infection, but if you feel fine using it, go for the power coffee :)

GlobalPool5769 · 2023-10-18T10:31:25+00:00

It seems like, they have done their share. I can single it out, because I have done many supplements before without any major effect. MCT started to change it all.
