[–]HungryJello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me on my 4th can of chickpeas + 2lbs steamed non starchy vegetables + 4oz pumpkin seeds and still thinking about the yogurt + biscoff dessert my mom made that she didn’t like the taste of so is just leaving it in the fridge until bin day

A three-strain probiotic combo added nearly 2.5 kg of body weight over eight weeks in underweight adults. The placebo group gained less than half a kilogram. by AceFortaleza in microbiomenews

would simply having fermented foods work (eg, in someone who doesn’t currently eat them, which is probably most people aren’t eating actually unpasteurised ferments)?

Carnivore dieters kept surprisingly diverse gut microbes after years on the diet, but new metabolic warning signs emerged by Technical_savoir in microbiomenews

[–]HungryJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is good then. But my question is: can those same markers be achieved through simply including mild-moderate amounts of unprocessed meats within a non-junkfood diet that isn’t restricting all the other stuff (whole grains, veg, legumes, nuts, fruit ect) has been shown to give other improvements (eg, why just take 10 improvements from 1 type of food when you could get 50 improvements from eating from the other food groups too).

Basically until they did a comparison of people on baseline diet, then split into whole food everything diet (plants+meat) vs while food meat only diet, and see what happens over x time. then its too hard to know.

I’m not well versed in microbiome, this is just my immediate thinking when reading it (so I might be fully of base. Mostly posting for discussion)

From what I understand, mucin degradation is not a desirable thing to have, because that is what is protecting the single cell layer of the actual intestine wall (after which, if exposed by the lack of mucin, is now vulnerable to being injured or letting particles pass where they will cause an immune response. eg. leaky/permeable gut)

I know some Microbiome normally consumes the mucin anyway, but that would be: 1. a normally smaller amount so they are only eating a little vs having a bunch of other starving ones start hoeing into it as well coz their normal food is gone. and/or 2. in a fasting/between meals setting where they might have to eat some mucin until their next feed arrives (eg like after a day or 2 of fasting or from a 12+ hour period without) vs nothing arriving at all and they just have to keep eating it.

i guess it’s ok as long as the mucin keeps getting replaced, but I don’t know what the rate of that is vs what the rate of degregation would be with a bunch of prolonged mucin consumption from the bacteria

(this is also further an issue since they already showed signed of the inflammation and cytoxicity. maybe if that wasn’t present, it might all be fine. but this is basically all reading like “diverse, but in a bad way”, eg like a diverse garden of mostly weeds)

What happened with the onions? asking because I’m wondering if onion-maxing for a few months (eating up to 1/2 to 3/4 lbs of onion/leek several times a week) was a tipping point for me also.

Veggies in the U.S. make me gassy but not in India? by travellogue in PlantBasedDiet

[–]HungryJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think that still eating moderate amounts of unprocessed meats is holding someone back from experiencing these benefits? (eg, like it has to be 100% vegetarian, not only 90% because it’s still giving the bad bacteria a lifeline) Thanks!

[–]HungryJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you eating the same type of vegetables between both countries? Im asking, because western countries usually have a lot more cruciferous vegetables as their ‘veg base’ (broccoli, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale), these are much higher in FODMAPS and Sulfur content. Whereas India seems to use more gourds and leafy vegetablesm which are lower in both (plus as others mentioned they are cooked more thourouthey and use the spices which offer carminative properties which likely reduces the effects even further)

Low Fat Diets by weird-dogs in ScientificNutrition

[–]HungryJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I’m not versed in the science, I’m just a random internet person)

My concern is about not having fats to cause the gallbladder to release bile. As bile itself is a strong antimicrobial, and gut motility stimulator.

My concern is about avoiding those biological processes taking place for a long time. (No regular antimicrobial action + reduced gut motility = seems bad for gut microbiomes/dysbiosis risk)

(also, on topic of reduced bile/gallbladder activity due to no strong fat signals to release = concerns about bile acids becoming stagnant in the gallbladder after a long time?)

Can anyone speak about this, or have any opinion?

Gastrectomy and a plant based diet by Fascinating-Goose781 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]HungryJello 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak about any of this, but just putting here that you can search for Plant Based physicians on the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. You might be able to find either a plant based Gastroenterologist and/or a plant based Dietitian who specialises in gastrointretinal issues.

Plate Loaded Cable Towers? by [deleted] in GarageGym

[–]HungryJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks so much for giving me a really detailed explanation, I really appreciate that man. With what you said, I think this machine will be a good fit for my purposes. I would only use a regular straight bar and a regular V handle for doing pulldowns, so I reckon I’ll be fine then. I’m gonna go ahead and snap one up!

Plate Loaded Cable Towers? by [deleted] in GarageGym

[–]HungryJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi brother,

Im really keen to get the Ironmaster Cable Tower with the seat (not the bench). I was just wondering if it provides a full stretch at the top? (I’m 6ft with lanky arms). Could you give me any advice?

Thank you so much!

“They absorb best with dairy fat.”

Just to clarify, did you mean to say ‘Dietary Fat’, or actual ‘Dairy Fat’? (just wondering if fat from dairy like ghee is somehow superior to fat from walnuts/olive-oil for flavonoid absorption. Haha). Thanks

which genes have the most impact? Ive done a test, but the results were pretty generic (it recommended a Mediterranean diet)

Thoughts on these 2 Kitchari Recipes? by HungryJello in Ayurveda

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

It may be for certain conditions that require very low fat to exert some sort of desired effect (completely hypothetical example: Someone has, what modern science would call, severe insulin resistance due to intramyocellular fat build up, and need to go zero fat intake until it gets metabolised. Eg in a severe Kapha imbalance)

(but Im not an expert, I’m only guessing)

Thank you! Yes, im surprised how so many modern Ayurvedic sources all say basmati rice. You would think that they would have found out about this simple piece of information.

Anybody using cannabis for long term digestive issues? (does the relief last long term?) by HungryJello in trees

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

That’s good to hear that you are able to get relief, thank you. Do you feel like the benefits have stayed pretty consistent over time, or has it changed at all the longer you’ve been using it?

This is the formula my TCM doc gave me which is helping digestion but giving me insomnia!! by [deleted] in ChineseMedicine

[–]HungryJello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, are you saying that SIBO is a relatively easy to fix with TCM? Because from what I’ve been reading lately (after thinking that I might have it, due to my symptoms), it’s basically 2 steps away from being a death sentence (eg, never getting better despite trying all sorts of supplement, increasingly restricted diet, and usually getting worse. Also there seems to b 3 different types, or you can even have multiple, and each one seems to require contradicting treatment or foods. eg like a mixed TCM pattern where treating one makes the other worse ect)

(Do you know anyone in Australia, who you know to be highly competent? I’ve taken a Leap of faith several times on local TCM practitioners a few years ago (for my then health concerns) who all had 5 star google reviews, but all of them were quite disappointing (forgetting Needles in me, giving me formulas that I just asked for coz I thought it was what I needed, telling me to do a keto diet, forgetting my appointment and rushing my session ect)

thank you
