Ray Peat: "Around 1988 I read Gerhard Volkheimer’s persorption article, and after doing some experiments with tortillas and masa, I stopped eating all starch except for those, then eventually I stopped those. Besides grains of starch entering the blood stream, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid, starch feeds bacteria, increasing endotoxin and serotonin."
Prof. Gerhard Volkheimer was gastroenterologist who conducted extensive research on persorption. He passed away on January 6, 2021 (a few months before his 100th birthday).
Do we know anything about prof. Gerhard Volkheimer 's diet ?
Did he recommend avoiding starches or any specific diet ?
Also he has notes about coffee in that study:
When coffee was ingested at the same time, the number of persorbed granules was significantly higher; this was not observed after administration of so called caffein-free coffee. Higher rates of persorption were also observed on injecting caffeine.
When caffeine is administered at the same time, the number of starch-granules found in the urine is almost three times higher whereas there is no significant change in the elimination rate under the influence of diuretics.

Passage of particles through the wall of the gastrointestinal tract
In the normal process of digestion, not only substances in solution are absorbed. Solid, undissolved particles in macrocorpuscular form, are “kneaded” into the mucosa during their passage through the digestive tract. These particles in ...
