digestion

Coconut oil causes me intestinal distress and discomfort. I believe I am allergic to it and the affect is more pronounced the more of it I consume. Pretty unfortunate I have cooked it it for a while and I think it is the main cause of my digestive issues.I didn’t notice until that was the direct...

I regularly cook my food in coconut oil but if I use too much I get an upset stomach. I know this happens to others but would like to know what causes this. It is nutiva refined coconut oil which I believe is refined with steam. Is this because of a bacterial die-off or just difficulty digesting...

This problem started a few months ago and has spiraled completely out of control. I began eating in a "Peat-like" fashion about half a year ago - milk, juice, raw carrot, cooked mushrooms cheese, liver, gelatin, etc. and I felt great at the beginning, no digestive symptoms at all. Slowly as the...

How much sugar can the body safely handle in one meal? Let’s say I ate maple syrup or honey. how much of it can my body process at once?

So I haven't seen any threads on here that address this, but have heard both coconut oil and aspirin could work wonders on fungus. The only problem being they are mostly absorbed before they hit the colon. 1. Would there be any draw backs to doing an aspirin and/or coconut oil enema? 2. If no...

I just recently ordered @haidut's cyproheptadine (mainly for digestive issues), and it seems like many people who have taken it seem to get extremely foggy and tired, even if it helps their other symptoms. To anyone who has experience with cypro, how did you overcome this? I also hear some...

Been on a very low PUFA and restricted diet (mostly carnivore, but experimented a lot with carbs, no fish) for almost 2 years. I've had dry skin, especially on my knuckles for about 1 and a half years. I had read to eat more fat and so I did. Lamb fat, beef fat, but the more fat I ate, the...

Hey guys, I put together a video on various ways to INCREASE stomach acid production... check it out:

Hey everyone, So I think I'll consider this an update to my last major post: Please Help: Endotoxin Overload & Post-parasite Gut Disaster . In this post, I described my persistent and near-debilitating gut issues. I long suspected the issue was rooted in some kind of dysbiosis / SIBO issue. I...

Hello! I recently took a Food Intolerance test and I discovered I can't tolerate Goat's Milk, Cow's Milk, Sheep's Milk & Casein. The doctor told me to give my body a break from milk for three months so it can rebuild producing the lactase enzymes and see how I feel from there. In the meantime...

I have consumed dairy regularly over the years, so it is nothing new for my body, but I never thought to ask if the pale stools were normal. I just assumed that it was, but so much is off about my digestion, so I figured I'd come here to ask. I get VERY pale stools from milk (whole or skim)...

Long story short whenever I eat pretty much anything my body starts to produce excess saliva often to the point where it causes me to vomit. This has developed over the past 3 months and slowly got worse but yesterday it really was the worst ever. I ate a pizza and about 40 minutes later I threw...

For some reason whenever I take liver capsules I get an allergic like reaction in the form of excess saliva build up. It is really debilitating. The liver capsules themselves do not cause a reaction but for some reason whenever I eat anything for the rest of the day I'm coughing and clearing...

As many readers know, Peat has written extensively on the benefits of antibiotics and on keeping the GI tract as free of bacteria as possible. Bacterial overgrowth in the colon alone is already a problem due to the production of endotoxin, but in hypothyroid people this bacterial overgrowth can...

Quotes are from the news release (Diet lacking in zinc is detrimental to human, animal health: Even moderate zinc deficiency is bad for digestion) of the study "Subclinical zinc deficiency impairs pancreatic digestive enzyme activity and digestive capacity of weaned piglets." (Subclinical zinc...

Per the title, this is just my personal successful experience with using niacin that I wanted to share. Usually I don't care to make posts like this, but seeing as there are just too many members here running around aimlessly playing with foods, food timings, avoiding nutritious foods like...

Low carb is not the way to go for a healthy gut flora... Eating just enough and not overdoing proteins seem to be key for a healthy gut microbiome. Besides proteins what can drive Nitrogen up during digestion? Eating less protein may help curb gut bacteria’s growth "Humans and other animals...

Many people on the forum have reported struggling with poor digestion, and some have experienced relief by taking digestive enzymes. Peat and many other researchers have written about the connection between poor digestion and virtually all chronic conditions. The pancreas can get damaged by a...
