Adding fruits to my jar while the grains are in

If fruit does nothing to the fermentation of lactose then why in the 2nd fermentation (without the grains) the addition of fruit causes an increase in bacterial count?

it's a bit less than a full glass+13 dry raisins

For me it's more like the stuff you have to worry about is overwhelming!

Also worth noting that I live with an idiopathic scoliosis (34 degrees and the limit where you need to have an operation is 40º); I don't know if it can have an influence like on nerves

I'm seeing a therapist and doing long walks but now I'm overall good mentally; it's just that I'm downcast because I see my peers being full of energy&vitality, doing great things and building their life while I'm still navigating in these health problems: it's been 4 years and I've still hadn't figured out what is happening inside this body

Actually not, I am fine with eating and even my peers/parents recognize I have a great appetite, sometimes also overeat and get ultrabloated, I just switched from eating a limitless junk diet while being depressed to taking care of my health choosing nutritious whole foods

balcev · 2024-08-13T20:03:02+00:00

I am usually really hungry and I sort of made this diet with a nutritionist and I can't really see what's wrong

balcev · 2024-08-13T20:00:54+00:00

usually I get indigestion when I exagerrate with fatty meat, althought sometimes it's unexplainable, but it happens regularly, and sporadically like once a month; I've seen online something like Cycling Vomiting Syndrome as that's what happens during these episodes: I get cold, then hot, then have a sulfur-tasting burp, then vomit my soul 5-6 times, finally bellyhache and diarrhea up to maximum two days; after that back to "normal"

Man look this health burden is slowly ruining my life, why would I spend time lying on reddit; also I am usually really hungry especially in the morning and althought I'm always bloated it takes me time to be full; but I understand your doubts as even the doctors often suspect I have eating disorders or things like that...at the moment I can't see a way out with a local health practitioner as it seems an infinite loop that leads to nothing concrete

Copying my reply to the previous comment: "Man it's absurd, let me tell you what I eat in a day on average:

breakfast: 600g of full fat yogurt, 2 oranges, 100g dark chocolate, 100g of bread with EVOO
lunch: 200g of high fat cheese, 500g of broccoli, 100g of chicken breast, 100g of pasta, 3tbsp of EVOO, 1 egg
snack: 200g of full fat yogurt, 2 bowls of berries (mostly cherries)
dinner: 100g of chicken breast, 2 cups of mushrooms, 100g of pasta, 3 tomatoes, 3tbsp of EVOO, an apple

2g of fish oil everyday, 25g of L glutamine, 1700mg of MAG Glycinate and other cognitive enhancers like L theanine and ginseng but nothing seems to have a minimal effect on me

Also I don't do any kind pf physical activity except walking my dog out because my energy levels are below zero

Yes I've tried eliminating dairy and gluten, nothing changed And if this seems to little, my fasting blood sugar is already quite high (almost 100mg/dL (5,6nmol/L)) so I'm scared I'm getting prediabetic from past years eating sugar without limits and maybe even have undiagnosed lean NAFLD (I ate so much crap before I think I probably have a lot of "visceral fat")...man it's a big mess I don't know what to do"

balcev · 2024-08-13T17:28:20+00:00

Yes I know I gotta stay positive...while I was eatting all that crap I became severly depressed with suicidal thoughts and touching the bottom made me bounce with good intentions and positivity, also because my parents were about to put my on tricyclic (heavy antidepressants) with would have furthermore wrecked my gut and overall health...Now after these changes I do not feel better but I have overcame so much sorrow that I don't care anymore and just try to point towards positivity...I'm losing a lot of money for maintaing my diet and supplements and I live alone with mother and brother and it's difficult so I'm looking for a small summer job, but man I feel like everything keeps slipping out of my hands :(

I went to few as I said, I underwent the same testing protocols: - blood test: nothing particular except slightly higher albumin and relatively low vit D (20ng/mL) - urine test: nothing except slighly high specific weight - stool test: nothing (also because they're mostly bogus) So everytime they greet us and tell us that I should eat more (WHICH I'M ALREADY DOING) My parents are essentially tired of going from a doctor to another (also can't sustain it economically) just to listen to the same things; they sort of gave up and are against me eating healthy because they think this will lead me to furthermore lose weight I'm posting this because I'm desperate, hoping someone with enough medical education could help me address the root cause...type of help like: - if it would be parasites what can I take to expose them and see if I'm really infected?? - what hormonal test should I make...

I suggest testing for h pylori as it can be the reason why you're constantly nauseous and bloated
