Worth a try to see if it works better.
Thanks Tara. I have definitely made myself sick eating too much sugar from the ones mentioned in my opening post. Going to try and slowly ease starches back into my diet.
Are resistant starches a good idea?

No, you want to feed your body, not some assh*le bacteria
Could this lead to SIBO then?

If transit speed is good, I think that reduces the risk of SIBO.
Nothing decreases insulin resistance and made eating carbs easier then antibiotics and antibiotics like substances for me:
Erythromycin, Cinnamon, Ginger, Berberine, Neem, Tulsi, NAC, enzymes
Almost every substance that is marketed to improve insulin resistance or what not seems to have an antibacterial effect. So starting there if you are struggling with carbs seems reasonableThanks Tarmander. How does this work?
Ahh ok. Got it. ThanksAlmost every substance that is marketed to improve insulin resistance or what not seems to have an antibacterial effect. So starting there if you are struggling with carbs seems reasonable
So if unstable blood sugar is a key issue for you, this could be useful? Unless it causes you too much other trouble. I seem to run for longer on a decent meal with starches than one high in sugars.I did try resistant starches some time ago. It did seem to really help to balance my blood sugar.

I haven't paid attention to this for myself. I eat potatoes regularly, rice reasonable frequently, and sometimes other starchy foods. I always cook enough for more than one meal, so I'm often reheating left-overs - that might make for some RS? I'v recently got a taste for lentils again, so I'm eating a little of them too, and if I'm offered other legumes socially I'll eat them. I don't usually have a lot of obvious gut distress these days. I used to get a bit of trouble years ago when I was eating high fibre diet with lots of whole grains and legumes. I tried briefly going very low starch, but all the sugar got to me. When I resumed more starchy foods, I think it took a little while to readapt - if I ate spuds for the the first time after a week without, I'd get more gassy. But after a few days my system seemed used to it again.Do you consume any resistant starches?
You said you slowly added carbs back into your diet. Sounds like your
mixing the Peat inspired diet with the keto diet?
I dont think that can work, especially if your keto diet is high in PUFA.
I jumped straight into the Peat inspired diet from a keto diet.
I stocked my fridge with OJ and milk, picked a day, and only consumed milk/OJ from then.
Within a few days, I had more energy and could work 5 hours strenuously without
feeling tired/sore as I had on the keto diet.
Dr Peat states a person can drink lowfat milk and OJ only to lose weight but still get
most of their nutrients met. I think its best to start the Peat inspired diet this way,
then when your weight has stabilized (if your trying to lose weight), tweak the diet and add in the liver/eggs/cheese/fat/carbs and other Peat friendly foods.

I've heard that butyrate is useful in the gut, and that gut bacteria can make it from starchy foods. I don't know and have not investigated how this balances out with other factors.
I do notice that I get undesirable symptoms (possibly endotoxin effects?) if gut transit slows too much, so I use tactics to prevent that when needed.
I just read this:
“
High Carbohydrate Diet
A diet high in simple carbohydrates will spike blood sugar and cause your body to produce more insulin.
Excess insulin, in turn, promotes the production of excessive amounts of serotonin. “
Wonder if there is any truth to this, at least in some people?
Yes I think there's truth to insulin elevating serotonin in the brain at least. So it's advisable to eat protein with your carbs so there are amino acids in your blood stream that compete with Tryptophan for uptake in your brain.
