Eye Bags

What is the quickest way to fix the gut?

Eliminate gut irritating foods for now. Promote proper digestion. Increase NAD with niacinamide and quinones (I like Lapodin and black cumin). Optimize thyroid function. Eliminate micronutrient deficiencies. Try activated charcoal. Lower excess histamine or at least mast cell degranulation.

Those are basically the basics for gut health for me.

Thanks. How do you apply or use Niacinamide? I already take tyromix. Do you eat activated charcoal? Maybe a raw carrot a day?

I just take 500mg once a day sometimes, but some people have more success with smaller doses, like 100mg x3 daily.
Yes, 5g AC stirred in fruit juice. Then drink the mix.
Yes the carrot salad once a day works for many.

I appreciate all the help. Any AC brand you can recommend?

Just a local brand, nothing fancy.

And if none of these don’t work then what?

soluble fiber fruits?

There could be many causes of this. I think impaired sleep quality, compromised liver health, endotoxins, heavy metals, undereating or excessive use of stimulants can cause this.

The whole list I mentioned above, or just the niacinamide, AC and carrot?

 

[SamYo123]

Yes

yes the whole lot

 

[Hans]

Yes

yes the whole lot

I'd do a stool test then (given that I've also been optimizing thyroid, etc, in the meanwhile)

Do you take Activated Charcoal everyday?

Eye bags could indicate gut irritation or basically anything that causes water retention, such as cortisol, aldosterone, inflammation, etc. Stress, poor sleep and gut irritation are common factors. If it's dark under the eyes as well, it usually indicates that the immune system is responding to something in your body/gut.

So, darle under the eyes is a Signal of disbiosis or overgrowth?

Moreso histamine and immune activation/overstimulation from my readings.

Does activated charcoal contain iron? Or what is the effect if someone takes charcoal and has iron overload?

It doesn't contain iron (it's typically made from coconut) and it doesn't affect iron as far as I know.
