Brain fog is a sign of excess serotonin from tryptophan metabolites.Thanks... sorry for the million questions but a lot of what you have said is resonating with me and I like to learn and apply principles...
What if I feel like I'm compromised though gut wise? I have chronic bloat basically 24/7 and it's really annoying ,trying to fix it, I'm worried about obesity, have gained a lot of weight with the increased calories, but don't want to purposefully restrict calories if I can avoid it. I feel like this is a sign I have lots of endotoxin / serotonin in the gut chronically.
I've currently tried some things already to fix the bloat with limited success, such as constant apple cider vinegar dosing at many meals, lemon/lime drinks, generous helping of salt...
Perfect timing, as I'm literally going to the grocery as we speak, to pick up things.
Interesting post on digestion times. I will have to study it in more detail later.
If your gut is more permeable than normal you will notice inflammation, bloating is not necessarily from toxins.
Bloating is bad digestion -> bad food combinations /excessive amounts -> pancreas /gal bladder not able to keep up.
You could try re-teaching your gut to digest properly by separating carbs from proteins and so de-stress the pancreas.
Low fat with starch en veggies. Protein with veggies. separate fruit.
But this will increase increase insuline and tryptophan metabolites though. so use spices that regulate bloodsugar.
And take niacinamide and b6 against tryptophan.
