I don't take it anymore.@GreekDemiGod , oh, that's great! Do you take berberine? What do you think is a main reason, that blood sugar is normal now, what supps or regimen?
Are you asking this with the rationale that they might have wrecked my gut?Have you a story of taking antibiotics?
Answer this. How do you plan on digesting high protein with low stomach acid? Lol. Some extra meat isnt going to magically heal your digestion.Been reading this advice on how a diet high in animal protein and salt is very beneficial for raising stomach acid. Anyone got any experiences?
Yeah start by eating lambBeen reading this advice on how a diet high in animal protein and salt is very beneficial for raising stomach acid. Anyone got any experiences?
Betaine HCL seems to be effective in digesting higher protein meals.Answer this. How do you plan on digesting high protein with low stomach acid? Lol. Some extra meat isnt going to magically heal your digestion.
I mean, ofcourse supplying nutrients like zinc and chloride will help, but the issue in your case is clearly not a deficiency of those. If it would be, you would have fixed it long ago.
You keep going in circles with the diet stuff, and skipping over the metabolic derangements that put you here in the first place.
I know, but what does that fix? You missed my point.Betaine HCL seems to be effective in digesting higher protein meals.
You haven't made a "point". you're asking OP to ask the same question as you are, and doing it in a weirdly officious manner. If you have a bright idea aboutrestoring whatever function of metabolism you think is causing OP's symptom, just spit it out instead of demanding a troll-toll. I bet you will suggest either magic, or more supplements.I know, but what does that fix? You missed my point.
Have you ever supplemented betaine HCL, zinc, iron or any other minerals?

High seretonin is nothing to be ashamed of. As a partial observer iI would say we bothe have high seretonin.Tell me you have high serotonin, without telling me you have high serotonin:
All I did was ask questions, lol. I don't have the secret solution to all life's problems, but I can analyze and I do know a bit about biology. Just read his thread, he's been going back and forth with the protein, carbs, and thyroid stuff for a long time already. Clearly, it isn't working. Betaine HCL will help somewhat restore digestion with one meal, but that won't magically fix problems. I won't spoon feed him information either, because unless he's actually interested, he will just ignore it as he did with the majority of advice in this thread. Just read his thread.
Doing something like carnivore will indeed help him if he has an immune component, which I would argue he does; but carnivore isn't a particularly good solution, and more of a band-aid. And obviously, extra protein and a properly digested meal is all good, I'm not saying it's not.
Yeah, probably not, but it should be strived to be fixed ASAP. You read my words through a negative lens, how is that helping your life? You also view health through a very pessimistic lens instead of the beauty that it is. High serotonin creates the rigid thinking that can promote such perspectives. Again, how is that helpful?High seretonin is nothing to be ashamed of. As a partial observer iI would say we bothe have high seretonin.
Main point: invoking the phrase Metabolic Derangement is my MK trigger, especially against another human being. The phenomenon of triggering is just so fascinating.
Other main point: Your allusion to fixing metabolism. At some point (maybe congenital) the damage is irreversibl3, and one seeks the best band aid. you're part of the small army encouraging people to assume they can fix their busted meatsuits, which is a bizarre and dangerouthhhh expectation.
Wow, maybe some of what you typed can actually be of use to me and OP. By Irreversible damage I mean the march toward death. No it doesnt need to be linear for you to observe it, though that would make it harder for you to deny. I've got no time for the new age talk though, or anyone trying to speak for the dead. If positive thinking comes at the cost of rationalization they can keep it. In my estimation, Ray aligned himself with reality, and that only looked like generic optimism that trumps what you can see with your own eyes. to people like you, although you would have to ask him.Yeah, probably not, but it should be strived to be fixed ASAP.

I'm not sure what you mean in "Main point:"
Hmm. Your account is fresh, and you talk like you're right off of reddit. Do you even Peat, bro?
Who said the damage is irreversible?
How so? It is neither a bizarre idea, nor a dangerous one. It's actually completely illogical to say so. The most dangerous thing to do, is to be idle and waste your precious time not living life.
Say you have a metabolic inhibitor such as mold exposure. Such inhibition can often result in symptoms that OP has. Removing the inhibitor allows the body to recover and go back to a reasonable health state. You might have lost some % off your optimal health state, but you enter a much better state of living. Taking modafinil or some betaine HCL is a surface level band-aid. (I'm not saying OP has mold exposure)
You could also have genetic predisposition to such problems. Mikhaila Peterson is a classic example of that. Her carnivore diet is a band-aid but it clearly shows that her immune system has gone awry. The metabolic derangement is caused by that/is that. If it can be ameliorated, then healing can be done. The idea of irreversible damage is silly, especially in the context of Peat.
It's quite amazing what can be achieved once you re-establish proper OXPHOS. I really recommend reading Ray's articles: Ray Peat
