Thanks for that. So many twists and turns. Now more than ever I appreciate the old phrase, "everything in moderation". Thanks for clarifying from my earlier question. The low-choline connection to gut issues on a low vA diet, as well as ample fiber. I am going to try psyllium for regularity and back off on beans for now (as per orangebear's experience).Hey Kray, I occasionally use white potatoes, parsnip, turnip, and celery root.
My thinking that aligns with the choline theory, was that fiber comsumption tended to bring on more and more IBS like symptoms the further along I went. People are reporting alleviating those symptoms with inclusion of eggs, providing large amounts of bio-avail choline. With digestion worsening, it would be harder to uptake choline from meat. "time to shift" is a good way of putting it.
Lots of threads on choline over here:
Factors influencing likelihood of developing a choline deficiency on a low vA diet
I just thought I’d write a post about the various factors that could mean someone develops choline deficiency. I realise now that I tick several of these and …ggenereux.blog
And now this- another twist! Very interesting thought to consider. I had read vitamin A has same potential for photosensitivity, so not sure if carotenes also, or only preformed vA.I just found out about Psoralens and I think it is worthy to mention it here.
Maybe we are fighting here not carotenes but Psoralens ... go figure.
The fact that it makes skin/eyes sensitive to sunlight is pretty scary...I knew there was smth wrong with citrus and carrots and it is not carotenes ( which in fact are protective)
Something to keep in mind not to dismiss eggs altogether.This sounds similar to what I experienced after 3 years as a WFPB vegan. I feel like eating too many legumes/grains and too little animal products (very low choline diet) wrecked my digestion and gave me IBS symptoms.
Do you feel better after including eggs in your diet?
