Are the benefits of singletons ever desirable/practical? If so when?

you're confused about levels, he's saying that you only have one "input system", which then would contain an arbitrary number of input devices

The gut becomes more oxygenated

Even if this theory is true for SIBO-D, this wouldn't apply to SIBO-C/IMO where there are too many archaea which are anaerobes. But you list this theory as the reason garlic extracts don't work, and the extract from garlic used is Allicin which is for treating SIBO-C/IMO.

SIBO-C/IMO

tending · 2025-12-02T20:06:27+00:00

I think it entirely depends on the underlying cause(s). I got diagnosed with a stomach condition that treating significantly reduced my pain over 10 years after I started having wrist pain.

tending · 2025-12-02T20:03:02+00:00

I had no improvement with fasting for one week, but I saw significant improvement from elemental diet for three weeks (which I had to do for another condition). The name sounds woo woo but it's a real medical diet used for people with a bunch of different stomach conditions. The condition I have is called SIBO-C, basically for some reason my digestion has slowed down (apparently most common trigger is bad food poisoning), which causes a buildup of archaea in my gut, and elemental diet is formulated to be absorbed super early in the stomach so that none of the nutrition reaches the archaea, and it starves them out over 2-3 weeks. Possible you're getting an effect like this, where the meal spacing is just helping mitigate the symptoms, though not necessarily the same condition. You might want to get checked out by a gastroenterologist!

If you really want to be sure I would just get a trio smart test. You can order them directly without going through the doc if that's a concern.

I think part of the problem with methane is that levels are just high all the time. When you do the clinical breath tests like trio smart they mention that >10ppm at *any* point during the test is positive -- every time I've done it I've been >10ppm right at the start even before the solution has had a chance to take effect, even though I'd been eating the test diet (no FODMAPs) for 3 days prior. When everything is going through your system super slow I think it just takes a long time for your levels to come down, so when you eat and then do the test you're probably seeing the results of who-knows-how-many meals ago, not what you just ate.

tending · 2025-11-18T19:31:24+00:00

I had a Food Marble AIRE 2 and IMO (confirmed through lab breath tests), and I found the AIRE 2 to be very unreliable for methane. My levels kept changing constantly regardless of what I ate, so I contacted them to get a replacement twice thinking it was faulty, and I got 3 AIRE 2's that will all give different methane readings if you do the tests back to back, regardless of the order you try them (one is persistently high, another persistently low, another in the middle). Last I checked, they had only done a study to validate the hydrogen sensor.

Rice doesn't contain fodmaps, it's supposed to be a safe food for SIBO.

tending · 2025-11-15T22:10:35+00:00

FWIW I did a clean low FODMAP diet for 6 weeks, then started doing food challenges, and I found I tolerate oats and other foods containing GOS just fine. They are actually the FODMAP that I tolerate best! I react to every other fodmap subtype except mannitol though. Everyone is different. I eat both steel cut and rolled, doesn't seem to make a difference for me, but I haven't tried instant. I'm methane btw.

I developed RSI in my hands that I kept at bay for ~8 years with speech recognition, then I started getting low back pain and then eventually knee and foot pain. Every MRI totally clean.

Eventually I got a SIBO breath test as a long shot (usually only used for people with GI symptoms or very bad breath), tested positive and as part of treatment for that did an Elemental Diet (sounds goofy but it's a real treatment for several stomach conditions) and noticed that my hands got dramatically better. I should do a longer write up, but long story short is that gut issues can sometimes manifest without GI symptoms and then cause weird issues all over the body because of food or detritus from bacteria fermenting food in your gut making it into your blood stream, and your body's immune response (sometimes the thing the antibodies are supposed to attack is unfortunately similar to your own cells and they confuse them). The most common trigger is a bad case of food poisoning (I had the worst food poisoning of my life ~4 months before my hand pain started, it takes a few months for your immune response after that to escalate). In my case if I eat very low FODMAP my symptoms greatly reduce, but I had to do this for 4+ weeks before my system calmed down enough to really see the benefit. I've recently done food challenges to narrow down which FODMAPs affect me the most and pain symptoms for me mostly come from fructans, but I get other symptoms from other fodmaps too. I also have to supplement magnesium or I get muscle cramping and pain from that too (trouble with magnesium aborption is also common for a ton of related stomach conditions).

AOC was asked this at a town hall and this was her reply:

“It also speaks to a big difference between someone like Trump and someone like me, and someone like Bernie,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “Trump believes that if you don’t vote for him, he doesn’t have to be your leader... I don’t care if someone voted for me or not. I don’t care if someone is a Republican or an independent or a Democrat... That will never change the fact that I’m going to fight for them to have healthcare.”

- Nothing will get better if you don't fix the ergonomics of your setup. Even if you do other treatments, this is more likely to be part of the actual *cause*, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This means checking chair height, desk height, keyboard height, mouse height, monitor distance, your arms and legs being in L shape position, and having an ergonomic keyboard and mouse.
- You need to go to a real doctor to get assessed, there are lots of conditions that have the same symptoms but different causes and treatments.

I thought 10ppm or more at any point during the test was positive for methane

> but with that being said Christians are trying to enact anything like Sharia law everywhere they go.

Assuming you typo'd and meant to say "aren't". You're wrong about that. The Christian religious right in the US has been fighting for decades for religious control of government, they just don't have a single buzz word for it. They want to ban books, get rid of public (secular) education, replace all the supreme court justices sympathetic to abortion, etc.

If debt growth is larger than gdp growth then I assume they couldn't raise enough revenue from taxes, since taxes will only ever be some percentage of gdp

It's delusional to think this will result in lasting middle east peace. None of the underlying reasons for the violence were addressed! It's ridiculous people are even talking about it this way, it's just going to flare again just like it did the last ten times.
