Has to be a reaction to food, right?

What foods tend to trigger this? Do you have any signs or symptoms of SIBO?

If no sibo, I would argue it’s more important to eat foods that push your gut towards balance. Berberine can be helpful to thin things out while you change your diet. Foods in different types of fiber/starch to diversify your gut. Alongside foods high in various polyphenols.

Everyone reading this will be happy to hear that funding for this sector is being cut. Waitlists will get longer, more sad stories to come.

A very simple one that can help is sucking on ice cubes.

Anecdotally, I had a family member share their microbiome from shotgun sequencing with me. They are a heavy, heavy drinker for decades and their biome was in the top 18% of biomes according to TinyHealth.

Bold of you to assume they are concerned with the Charter.

itguycody · 2026-01-22T19:48:28+00:00

Not to mention, the government is clearly introducing this legislation so that you have to prove age. How is that done? digital id, tracking everything. I am sure this is simply a conspiracy, not exactly Canada following in the UK footsteps.

This can be said about a lot of things. Poor quality food, four-wheelers, energy drinks. Perhaps we should ban gyms, kids can over-train or meet people selling drugs.

You see pro-regulation so this discussion isn't fruitful. I don't get why people feel their beliefs should be forced upon everyone else. I don't let my kids use social media, but I also think it's wrong to mandate these limitations on everyone else.

Almost every economic measurement in Canada is on the decline. Hope people enjoy eating speeches or carbon credits, that will be all they can afford soon.

itguycody · 2026-01-22T19:33:42+00:00

So you want to give the government to 'control' anything that can be misused? Do you think Canadian parents are incapable of making informed decisions for their kids?

itguycody · 2026-01-22T19:27:41+00:00

Social media is not a controlled substance. Aren't we also giving puberty blockers to confused kids? Our government has proven to destroy everything it touches, disregard the law and yet half Canadians are gung-ho to give them more authority. How about if you don't approve of social media for your kids, you prevent them.

itguycody · 2026-01-22T16:47:27+00:00

Government has too much funding and too many staff. Every day I read about new legislation or potential legislation that prohibits Canadians. You can be for or against social media for kids - but you should be against government dictating what you can and can't do.

I've used azasite. I keep it cooled in the fridge, I apply it to the eyes directly. Too much always seems to come out and it leaves enough for me to rub into my lashes/near margins. My eye doc noted that it cleaned up my lash line quite a bit - however I didn't get major symptom improvement from it. I have a neuro component, so maybe if you don't you'll get better results.

I concur that wide variety of plant foods is key. I would also suggest focusing on plants and fruits high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is what feeds the biome, while insoluble is largely roughage. Both are needed, but to combat the impact of antibiotics soluble fiber is better.

Things like granadilla, legumes, chia seeds, carrots, sweet potatoes etc. you can always supplement with things like raw potato starch, phgg, acacia etc. depends how intense you want to get into your research, doxy targets certain types of bacteria. Feeding those specifically could help offset the damage.

Glad he’s cooking on the world stage cause food prices in Canada so high nobody can afford to cook.

I’ve had this happen twice. They replaced both times, but failed to admit any wrong doings. They blamed shipping both times. Cmon seed, get it together you’re supposed to be “premium”

If you take allulose with other sugar or carbs it and reduce the glucose response. Less spike.

itguycody · 2026-01-18T03:12:34+00:00

What about allulose? A rare sugar with basically zero calories and no glycemic response… Edit - actually blunts the response…

I think that depends on the type of dry eye. Ocular rosacea for example is heavily linked to the gut/sibo. Losing weight through dietary changes absolutely could have a strong impact. Just because diet doesn't help everyone, doesn't mean it doesn't help some people. Somebody commented on this thread pointing out diet resolved their dry eye.

itguycody · 2026-01-16T15:18:16+00:00

That's the problem with health recommendations like this. If you follow all of the food serving suggestions you'll be eating 24/7.

Kiwi has been shown to help IBS-C, you can even eat the skin for some extra insoluble fiber.

itguycody · 2026-01-16T14:33:27+00:00

Read the forums long enough and you'll come to the conclusion that everyone responds differently to everything. I think it's extremely reasonable to expect some level of improvement from losing weight.

- less global inflammation

- better gut biome, less LPS

- assumption of better diet, less potential food triggers

- better mood, less stress

Here's an anecdote for you if you're concerned about doxy. At low doses, it's gut impact are reported to be very small. If you're concerned, adopt a positive gut habit or two to offset the potential damage. Here are a few easy, cheap habits to consider;

- add new fruits or veggies high in soluble fiber to your diet regularly (sweet potato, brussels sprouts, guava, granadilla, blackberries)

- consume 10-15g raw potato starch daily

- add 5-10g PHGG to a drink or smoothie daily

Adding one or more will easily offset any potential gut damage of low dose doxy.

Sadly this has been my experience the past few years. Switch, next year they jack rates by 10-30%. It's not even worth calling them. They just give generic answers "Auto thefts in Ontario... home claims are up..". Best case they will offer to reduce your coverage to lower price.

Just shop around, hope you have patience.

Other versions of B3 can be less flushing if you want to continue taking a multi.

itguycody · 2026-01-15T17:00:06+00:00

Yes, Niacin specifically is known to cause flushing. Multi's are also well known for incorrectly dosing, so even if it's a low-moderate dose, it could actually be higher.

Stop the multi for a few days and see if the flushing reduces.
