To answer that, helps to know which carbs you are ingesting and the percentage of that macro............Why does my tounge go pink, face becomes less oily and less red seb dermitius when i stop carbs? Ive been eating carbs for years
Whats going on?
anything in particular you would suggest for improving liver function?To answer that, helps to know which carbs you are ingesting and the percentage of that macro............
If most of your carbs are coming from fruit, the liver exclusively processes fructose. In a well functioning liver, about 50 percent of fructose is normally turned into glucose, 25 percent into lactate, 15 percent to glycogen and 3 to 5 percent to triglycerides. Perhaps you are now not processing fructose well for some unknown reason and giving the liver a break by ingesting less fruit based carbs is causing that improvement.
If most of your carbs are coming from sugar, the sucrose is half fructose and half glucose. So, while the fructose burden is much less, still might be a sluggish liver working hard to process that fructose.
If most of your carbs are coming from starches like corn tortillas or white rice, the sugar is glucose which can be processed by every somatic cell and sluggish liver function is probably not as big a factor.
If most of your carbs are from milk, Lactose is glucose plus galactose and also probably is not as big a metabolic factor with the possible exception of that white tongue you described.
Either way, I would still focus on maximizing liver function / liver health with the new symptoms from carbs like you describe. There is no down side to improved liver performance. Hope the advice helps, keep us posted on how you progress.

Depends on the cause but if the liver is sluggish due to fatty deposits, walking 30 minutes a day coupled with a Phosphatidylcholine supplement can work wonders to clear out the liver.anything in particular you would suggest for improving liver function?

Happening to all carbs, whether simple (fruit, table sugar, honey) or complex carbs like starch?Ive been eating carbs for years

Not long ago, I've come to the conclusion that the fructose isotope study doesn't reflect exactly what happens when we ingest sucrose, especially in terms of lactate. 25% lactate from fructose is a big amount, which could be concerning. There is a study which shows no increase in blood lactate after sucrose ingestion, but pure fructose seems to reliably increase blood lactate in multiple studies. This means that the body isn't converting fructose to lactate, but the bacteria in the gut is, and it's the more problematic D- lactate. In other words, fructose malabsorption is the causative factor, not fructose itself. I used to think that the lactate increase was just the way fructose worked, though the inverse Cori cycle, but now I believe the other viewpoint makes more sense, since fructose is known to increase PDH and decrease PDH kinase. With regards to the other fructose metabolites( glycogen, glucose, triglycerides), I think that study's findings may hold true.To answer that, helps to know which carbs you are ingesting and the percentage of that macro............

Ray likes penicillin and minocycline. Some people in the forum got benefits from azithromycin. I personally got benefits from doxycycline( it helped normalize bowel movements). It didn't solve my SIBO though. Of course, It may also be something else you're experiencing. If you don't have any digestive issues, especially bloating, then it may not be something as serious as SIBO. Also, important to note that antibiotics do make some people worse afterwards, so make sure to only use them if you think it's necessary.Name a good antibiotics
Cortisol is also known as hydrocortisone. It is a steroid hormone which is released by the adrenal cortex. This is a “stress hormone” that gets released in order to show “fight or flight response” at stressful conditions. Cortisol can increase blood sugar by gluconeogenesis. It is classified as a glucocorticoid which can stimulate liver glycogen formation. It also has the ability to suppress the immune system and acts as an anti-inflammatory compound. The systemic name of cortisol is (11β)-11,17,21-trihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione. The CRH hormone released by hypothalamus triggers secretion of ACTH hormone from the anterior pituitary and then ACTH triggers the release of Cortisol.I wonder if no-carb can trigger "nice" high cortisol symptoms. Like, I used corticosteroids to treat seborrehic dermatitis, which worked until it was time to stop, maybe a rise in cortisol from lack of carbs could act in the same way?
I mean, there might be a difference between cortisol as a substance and cortisol as part of the stress program. Something that's not acknowledged that much on the forums is that the body doesn't just secrete substances willy nilly, it's always part of a programmed response. Maybe such a response wouldn't really lighten inflammation in OPs case, and you have some funny theories being thrown around when someone finds that, say, serotonin activity is high in the upper premedialfrontal brain globe during laughter and so it somehow tells us about intestinal serotonin during gut dysbiosis.Cortisol is also known as hydrocortisone.

Cortisol has the ability to reduce substances that are responsible for inflammatory response. Therefore, it is administrated as a drug for rheumatoid diseases and allergies. Sometimes it is also used to treat skin rashes and eczema. If the cortisol level in the body is constantly high, it can lead to proteolysis and hence muscle wasting. This can also reduce bone formation. Cortisol also has the ability to act as an antidiuretic hormone. When the level of cortisol declines the water excretion too declines.

Good question I've always asked but never bothered to check. I never knew it's the same thing used on me to reduce my keloids - cortisol.
Pls. rephrase and tell me also what was said that was comedic, your honor.and you have some funny theories being thrown around when someone finds that, say, serotonin activity is high in the upper premedialfrontal brain globe during laughter and so it somehow tells us about intestinal serotonin during gut dysbiosis.
No, not in a normally functioning metabolism, it's more complicated than that. Anything can be stored as fat, though the protein macro is not as easy to convert and store. We were discussing your reaction to carbs in your post, not fat, but the body can convert the macros interchangeably into the other energy macros. Storage of excess energy intake as fat is not even a bad thing, we are designed to do it. Excess sugar intake or fat intake or protein can be stored as fat in adipose tissue which is ok. Calories consumed in excess of what you can store in adipose pose a problem as fat stored elsewhere such as in the liver is not good.Excess Fat intake is burdens the liver?
Eggs are definitely enough as a choline source and much better than a supplement. But you would need to eat 4 eggs a day for the liver clearing effect.is just eating eggs Not enough for cholin?
