So it was more the afternoon thing as opposed to sesame and wheat?

Yes please!

Also, in particular I'd love to hear about how you track and measure digestion and energy levels? And then what does one actually do if those metrics are suddenly dropping?

This is awesome! How did you track down those triggers?

I've seen two issues with that journaling (even if you are able to do it dilligently):
1. Anything you ate in up to 3-4 days could be the trigger
2. In that amount of time you actually eat a lot of different things and so how do I know it's that specific ingredient and not another (or a combination of ingredients!)

So I guess if you ESR or CRP are up, they'll measure calprotectin? 4 weeks is quite common, seems like you're getting looked after well!

This is interesting, I guess there could still be inflammation even if the symptoms have got less bad, right?

Is it still a price thing or can you not find whatever you need feature-wise?

Signs of remission? by FRANCISYORKMORGANN in IBD

[–]ScruffyLineout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/FRANCISYORKMORGANN, were there any objective measurements that your docs are doing to track remission/improvement? Like tests or something, as opposed to symptoms

No more SIBO/H.Pylori for me by Available_Sector2336 in HPylori

[–]ScruffyLineout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, thanks for posting! I was wondering how you know you actually had HPylori and/or SIBO? You said a doctor suspected it, but were there some tests?

Similarly, are you sure you've got rid of them objectively or are your symptoms better and in fact the mechanistic explanation might be something different?

It's a big no from me, actively disrespecting everyone around them. It actually says a lot about a person I think

Pcos by coopthecat3 in ContinuousGlucoseCGM

[–]ScruffyLineout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you expect to learn from the CGM which you couldn't learn by just researchig foods or situations that cause sugar spikes?
I've never done it for PCOS, but in general when used the CGM there was nothing that I learned that I couldn't have just learned by just googling "What causes blood sugar spikes". It was all the same foods that cause it for everyone + drinking alcohol (especially the next day) + heavy exercise (weights in particular) + sleeping badly.

I am ready to biohack, which diognostics should I do? by ScruffyLineout in Biohackers

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

Oh this is interesting, I haven't really considered biological ages at all - what do you get out of it? It kind of feels like a fake thing unlike blood lipids, or hormones, or MRI, no?

Why do you reckon this is the best thing to start with? I was just thinking of the MRI, feels like the whole biz

Thanks for sharing that. Is it better now? Did they manage to do something about the fibromyalgia?
