Ok, I know you guys just LOVE to talk about this stuff [why else would you click the link?], but I'm curious as to who may have unusual guts like me. I always knew I was "different" in terms of my digestive health. I have what I like to call a "vulture's stomach" because fresh fruits and vegetables don't work well with me. Meats and dairy go just fine. Whenever people offer me fruits they always ask:"Why'd you take that? It's rotting!" Ummm, that's just it. I can't digest it well UNLESS it's fermented, cooked, or aged a bit past it's prime. So if you've got funny guts tell us about them. I'd like to hear. ...why do people eat green bananas anyway? They're not even sweet.:/
Crohns, and lactose intolerant. Cant drink milk or i piss out my ass and acidic foods trigger my stomach pains if I abuse it for few days.
I have gastroparesis. A blessing and a curse! Helped me go from 240 to 165. But also means my intestines are to inflamed to process foods meaning most my meals are ensure.. But life is still amazing and it's getting better! P.s I only medicate with mmj not the pills they give! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
fermented foods got rid of acid reflux? What kind do you recommend? I'm allergic to soy. Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Mostly fermented veggies, like saurkraut. I usually add carrots and beets to the cabbage base. It has to be the living kind, not the hotdog kind of saurkraut. It's pretty simple to make. Here's the Guru - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i77hU3zR-fQ
He must have had reflux from dysbiosis..which is probably why most of us have it. Why we have so much gut dysbiosis?..well that's another topic. Usually fermented foods are not enough to combat it, especially those that have eaten a SAD diet all their lives. I have Barrett's esophagus.
oh probly won't help me then. Mine is from a hiatal hernia. The only thing ththat helps is not drinking alcohol and caffine Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
It's worth a try, cheap and easy. Alcohol used to kill me and so did milk, the former becoming instantly acidic in my throat. Spicy food was murderous. Mind you, I have no ideer about your specific condition, but I'd still say it's worth a try. Plus, it's tasty.
Yes and yes. Doctor's are no help (here take this Nexium) so I have been working on my health for some time now.
Is your plan of attack working? Have you tried eating live, fermented foods? I also drink water kefir.
Sort of? It's been trial and error as I have several things I'm working on besides the acid issues. Yes I eat fermented foods, although prob not as much I could/potentially should. I made kefir water for about a year, became too much of a hassle and didn't feel positive effects (or negative). I was also terrified of sugar at the time.
Interesting interview with a gut biologist - http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2014/05/06/missing-microbes-are-we-killing-off-bacteria-at-our-own-peril/ Listen to the interview here, it's not too long - http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/popupaudio.html?clipIds=2454670153
Trust me, I'm on the microbe train. Prebiotics are probably more of an issue rather than probiotics for a large portion of the population. Microbes need food too. I'll check it out though.
