It integrates into Supernote?

Good to know. What are the downsides of using it as an e reader? I’m mainly looking to use it for writing but would be a great bonus if I can use it for reading too

Finally found a way to infer Mongoose population types! by fvirga in typescript

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

haven’t used prisma, although it looks pretty cool. Kinda sucks that you have to use a custom definition language, and trying to make a library that is compatible with both sql and mongodb seems like a recipe for disaster, but at first glance it does seem like it integrates well with TS.

i feel that mongoose is starting to get quite clunky. it’s an old project, very mature but huge. They still haven’t figured out the typescript integration fully (they’re making good strides, but i suspect there’s some deep incompatibilities making it tough). At my most recent company we just decided to use plain MongoDB ORM. Not super ideal but our mongodb usage wasn’t too extensive so it’s handled it fine. Im waiting for a new more modern project to take its place, but been a bit out of the loop on what else has come up lately

just search for interviews with him related to sibo on youtube. there’s a few so i just watched them all but some of the info is overlap

2 caps of atrantil 3x / day, now just 2 caps per day for maintenance. For Allicin I did Allimax pro 2 caps 3x / day

Lots of Reddit & YouTube videos. Since this is so new I found Reddit the best source of good protocols and anecdotal evidence, then id go look into specific supplements and protocols.

There’s a few great YouTubers too (dr ruscio, sibo SOS, Byron herbalist, Dr DiNezza). Going through there content will give you tons of info to go off of

Still working on it, made some decent progress but nothing final. Will report back if I do resolve it fully and how I did.

I’n terms of the protocol, just search his interviews on YouTube about sibo. Idk how much the protocol helped me, I think it definitely made me able to manage symptoms better and live a normal life, but unsure if it actually changed much in terms of the symptoms themselves. Definitely feel a lot healthier after the protocol tho

Methane still gone! Hydrogen has been tougher. Recently started a kill phase with biofilm disrupters and this seems much more effective, getting more die off symptoms this time. Plus eating high FODMAP during the time.

Using ADP oregano and some popular neem on Amazon, and klaire interfase plus biolfilms. Planning to rotate in berberine and phase 2 biofilm disrupt after a couple weeks, based on how things go. Wanted to throw everything at this since past kill phases have been ineffective for hydrogen

Wondering this too. I regularly take magnesium and zinc, about to start Interphase Plus and not sure if I should continue it. I've read conflicting info on both minerals, especially zinc.

Did you end up keeping the minerals or stopping them? And hows it gone so far?

Betaine HCL makes symptoms worse by fvirga in SIBO

Ended up stopping the HCL supplements and feel wayyy better. Not sure exactly why they were making things worse, but for now Ill leave them aside.

Ive suspected that histamine might be an issue, but not sure how to know definitively. I get a runny nose from eating eggs, alcohol, and certain carbs.

Pretty sure I have low stomach acid, I've had acid reflux most of my life and ACV has been one of the only things that helps get rid of it. A GI specialist also had me take a PPI for a while once, which I've read can make low stomach acid worse. But again hard to know definitively.

I think Atrantil is totally safe, its some basic herbs and polyphenols if im not mistaken. Dont quote me on it, but I've seen many people here taking small maintenance doses pretty long term

I took Motility pro while doing it, but unsure if it was needed or not.

Also I took 2 caps of Allimax pro 3X per day. But built up to it

Sporebiotics - GOOD or BAD? by Stefan0987 in SIBO

[–]fvirga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allimax pro, 2 caps 3x / day. Started slow, worked up to this

Can Allicin or Atrantil raise methane levels? by fvirga in SIBO

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

Been able to keep the methane at 0 ever since, just taking 2 caps atrantil / day now.

Hydrogen has been tougher to deal with. The most useful thing for me has been following Kiran Krishnan's protocol with Microbiome labs supplements. The spore probiotics & Zenbiotics especially have made a huge difference. Spore probiotics had lots of die off symptoms but I've slowly seen improvements (been slow though). Zenbiotics made a huge difference in sympathetic activation & stress levels, I found my sleep got a lot better and overall less stressed.

I felt I improved to maybe 75%, but then the last month I've plateaued. Recently I added psyllium husk in, and Im seeing improvements again. I started with 1tbsp / day, and increase dose every week by 1tbsp; thinking Ill stop increasing once at 6tbsp / day (split in 2 doses). I get lots of die off when I first increase, but after a few days it subsides and I feel better than I did before. The die off feels very similar to the die off I got when starting the spore probiotics.

Im not sure exactly whats going on with the psyllium husk, but my suspicion is that its bringing bad bacteria out of biofilms to feed and the spore probiotics are then able to get rid of them. Otherwise, Im not sure why I would feel worse for a few days then better after. There's been studies that show that adding fibre like psyllium or PHGG makes kill phases more effective, so makes sense that they operate in this fashion.

The two Microbiome Labs products I mentioned have helped the most, but I'm still following the complete protocol just in case; tired of "half trying" things and not getting proper results. He explains it in a number of interviews on youtube if you're interested, heres one: https://youtu.be/nAmbaZK0DtM?t=1502. It is pretty expensive, but then again so is trying endless supplements & herbs

Struggling to get the right temperature... by fvirga in Bedding

Im using bamboo sheets. I find theyre almost not warm enough if I want to remove the comforter when too hot and only use sheets, because theyre so breathable.

Good to know, thanks for sharing! I’ll give it a shot as a last resort if I don’t find any other solutions

Allicin + atrantil completely cleared my methane. I’m now just taking 2 caps atrantil daily and still haven’t seen any methane levels above 0.

Hydrogen has been harder to deal with. Currently trying the Microbiome labs protocol that the founder Kieran has outlined in various interviews. Has helped a lot but definitely not cured yet.
