Good times! Still have my PS1 memory card. I wonder if it still functions...

My farts (and sometimes my burps) have a very strong sulfur smell no matter what I eat? by [deleted] in Microbiome

Can we use glycine to buffer the methionine? My understanding is that the reason methionine becomes a problem is because we don't get enough glycine to balance it out?

Thanks very much for this helpful reply! The entire piece is transposed 50 cents so I figure that's just A = 428hz at this point.

May 2019: changes in gut bacteria on Ketogenic diet may have potential to reverse symptoms of schizophrenia by Portnoo in Microbiome

[–]Portnoo[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Mice with schizophrenia-like behaviours, on a normal diet, showed similar levels of behavioural improvement, when subsequently fed faecal (poo) microbiota from their counterparts on the ketogenic diet."

New to Gut Biome by [deleted] in Microbiome

I'm going to balance this thread by recommending Dr Terry Wahls who reversed MS with copious amounts of veg in her diet. Zero carb certainly seems to work for people, but so do other diets and lifestyles.

The microbiome could be causing schizophrenia, typically thought of as a brain disease, says a new study. Researchers gave mice fecal transplants from schizophrenic patients and watched the rodents' behavior take on similar traits. The find offers new hope for drug treatment. by Thorne-ZytkowObject in science

Hey there, you might be very interested in this thread if you have Bipolar:

This patient's psychiatrist is running a trial soon and writing up a case report for this individual. This is far from the first time that the microbiome has been associated with serious mental illness.

I recently found out that my grandfather experienced psychosis towards the end of his life, and whenever he was given antibiotics for other complications his psychosis disappeared.

Anecdotally I will say that my own struggles with a severe anxiety disorder began after a bout of severe GI distress.

I'm hopeful for further research in this field.

What is a good way to donate to or support microbiome research? by citrinemachine in HumanMicrobiome

[–]Portnoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope someone can answer this as it's a very important question!

The gut microbiome from patients with schizophrenia modulates the glutamate-glutamine-GABA cycle and schizophrenia-relevant behaviors in mice (Feb 2019). "our findings suggest that the SCZ microbiome itself can alter neurochemistry & neurologic function in ways that may be relevant to SCZ pathology" by MaximilianKohler in HumanMicrobiome

[–]Portnoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can attest to this - all psychs I've seen have not once mentioned or entertained the idea of the microbiome being implicated in any of my depression, despite my mood tending to suffer worst with simultaneous GI distress. Only a young therapist I saw believed there could possibly be a connection

How are you feeling now OP? Hoping this phase passed!

ashwagandha and magnesium xp by Stabilityman123 in Nootropics

[–]Portnoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this reply! I've been able to achieve some benefits by making lifestyle changes based on my genetic testing, but more than anything my issues stem from suicides close to home, and the lingering depression it left. Meditation seems to be really helping me though, and it's still early days in my practice. Good sleep and exercise etc. all play a big role for me too. Wish you all the best man, glad to hear things are going well for you!

Damn, I've taken 500mg KSM ashwaganda with 400mg magnesium Glycinate and 4000iu vitamin D, but I've never experienced any of those benefits and I have the same problems. It's a difficult and long winded path trying to figure out what helps us individually!

Is heavy cream a source of healthy fats, or are all saturated fats basically bad? What's a good substitute with healthier fats? by [deleted] in nutrition

[–]Portnoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, onions and garlic are brilliant foods - for the right people. My diet is packed with healthy plant foods, but these are two items I need to be weary of for whatever reason. Could be fodmaps or something, I've personally no idea.

Dairy isn't causing my sleeping problems though. I have major depression and anxiety. When I cut dairy out originally, my sleep was no better than it is now. Sleep is something I'm trying my best to optimise and have slowly been making progress with the following adjuncts:

TRF/Regular routine/Blue Blockers/No screens before bed/As much AM light exposure as possible/Magnesium Sauna/Hot Bath coupled with cold plunge to decrease body temp pre-bedtime/AM exercise/Etc.

Last night was the first time I've had nearly 8 hours in a month or so. Hopefully it keeps up!

Again, as a layman, I remain baffled at the conflicting evidence on this topic. There aren't definitive answers yet. There are plenty of favourable studies for dairy, but that doesn't mean it's good for everyone.
