Tips to prevent or help constipation which use food substances. Also, propylene glycol is just as bad or worse and is in our food and vape liquid maybe. Also, MAID in Canada - bad movie....
I'm intolerant to propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polysorbate 80. It sucks finding ice creams with things I can tolerate. I also have a slight intolerance to guar gum and Xanthian gum, but that intolerance is not as bad. I can't even use shampoos with those first three glycols and also have problems with lanoic acid and lanolin from wool. It seems to be the emulsifier action I have problems with with these things. There are other things with emulsifiers I have problems with too, but most natural things in foods I can handle better. I can use pure vanilla extract in moderation but not the double acting stuff with propylene glycol in it. So we use the Frontier or simply organic vanilla which has more flavor and use less in baked goods. Not too much problems with the emulsifiers in eggs but a little more problem with the emulsifiers in milk. My milk allergy might be related to this but that is just speculation, more apt to think my milk allergy is from overconsumption of ice cream when I was young. The ER doctor told me I am probably allergic to the milk protein, but an allergy can come from overconsumption of something you are metabolically intolerant to too.
I disagree. Processed wheat and milk are bad for our guts. All the nutrients in these foods that are processed out via sifting and oxidation for flour and pasteurization and homogenization in milk cause the problems. I drink raw milk and mill whole grains freshly into flour and make bread and other baked goods and have no gut issues whatsoever. I personally know many people who cannot tolerate foods made with processed flour but have no gut issues with freshly milled flour products. It relieves constipation as well since freshly milled whole grains are full of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Many who cannot drink processed milk can drink raw milk with no issues.
Where did I read yesterday that researchers found that up to 70% of the people they sampled had antibodies for PEG? 🤔 Clearly it is in too many products and the human body really doesn’t care for it being there!
Yes, I agree with you. When PEG alters the composition of the gut microbiota, it can impact various aspects of health, including digestion, immune function, and mental health ( as well-described by you in the article).
PEG may increase the permeability of the intestinal barrier, allowing substances that should be confined to the gut to enter the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation and may contribute to conditions like autoimmune diseases.
The altered environment in the colon could affect the absorption of nutrients, leading to deficiencies or malabsorption issues.
PEG may cause inflammation & damage to the colon, which could lead to conditions like colitis or even increase the risk of colon cancer.
PEG can lead to changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation, depending on its effects on the colon environment.
Indeed. disruption of the colon environment could have systemic effects, impacting the entire body's health and functioning…
Here‘s something interesting I wanted to share with you and the readers Jennifer. It was surprising that PEG is related to obesity!
It has a link between colon fluid retention—causing obesity!
Although PEG's primary function is to alleviate constipation and promote bowel movements, there is growing concern about its potential role in obesity. Some studies suggest that the increased fluid retention in the colon caused by PEG may contribute to weight gain and obesity.
One possible explanation for this link is the fact that PEG can lead to an increased absorption of water-soluble nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats, in the colon.
This increased absorption could potentially contribute to weight gain and obesity. Additionally, PEG's osmotic effect may alter the composition of the gut microbiota, which has been linked to obesity and metabolic disorders.
Furthermore, PEG's impact on the colon's environment may also affect the absorption of other substances, such as hormones and neurotransmitters, which could have implications for appetite regulation and metabolism.
For example, altered levels of the hormone leptin, which is involved in appetite regulation, could lead to increased food intake and weight gain…

Milk Protein allergies seem to be more common now. Maybe I'm just aware of the issue. Are they MODing our cows? Raw or goat milk is an option for you.
Shampoo is hard to find without stuff in it. www.originalsprout.com is natural-ish, but has 2-3 suspect ingredients. We use it.
Proteins in milk, wheat and soy are bad for our guts, for all of us, but some people it is worse due to a missing enzyme. DPP-IV

That is nice for you and probably many others but DPP-IV is inhibited be casein and gliaden and lectins in peace protein too. Which is good to know. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9369239/
Thanks for the extremely informative, well articulated article,Jennifer. Thank you.
It blew my mind when I looked at the generic bottle.

PEG is in liquid Gel Caps and many cold/cough medications to keep the suspension of ingredients from mixing.

Yes, that sounds like it could have a huge impact on overall health if the colon environment is messed up.
But wait! It gets even worse!
