So tricky figuring out what to eat! In my opinion, the fastest way is to find a nutrition person who is just like you, and who has figured out what works for them... Dave could learn some stuff from you, and you could learn from Dave how to make your story into a best-selling book 🤪

I identified with Dave because of the mold, and of course the coffee infatuation, and his very sensible "i'm just going to try it" approach.

But yesterday I found someone whose experience with SIBO is a match - and when she cited a specific SNP that drove her solution I ran over to my PC to check my 23andme report, and sure enough, I have the same one ...

I should give her credit here -

I bought a copy of the liver/gallbladder cleanse book she mentioned - The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body

oh wow! I did some pretty serious liver flushes but it was 15 or 20 years ago... the first couple times seemed to get a bunch of what they were calling gallstones out, I will go with that, even though I read stuff debunking that idea that might be right, who knows.

I have a PEMT SNP too. PEMT – 744 G>C CC

I am inconsistent with use, but I added Core Med Science PC Complex, phospholipid complex made from sunflower lecithin. Soy lecithin made me kind of sick/digestive upset. Tapioca or arrowroot starch in my cooking does help my gut, or Vietnamese salad rolls or tapioca pudding. Pomegranate peel is protective against Candida and negative gut microbes and supports the good ones.

Nattering Naybob has suggested my troubles have bile as an underlying issue. I will take a look at the cleanse that the writer used for gallbladder/gall stones.

Tapioca pudding! what an awesome idea! I haven't had any for a million years because of the milk allergy, but it would be easy enough (even for me!) to make it with coconut milk!

And isn't this interesting, the one brand of GF bread that seems to agree with my stomach the best has tapioca flour after the brown rice flour.

Here is one of my tapioca starch pudding recipes. I started adding some garbanzo bean flour (precooked type is better for the purpose) as it balanced the loss of milk protein nutritionally and chemically, and it improved the tapioca texture which can fight back like stringy mozzarella on hot pizza. https://open.substack.com/pub/denutrients/p/cherry-licorice-tapiocagarbanzo-flour?r=os7nw&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web You can play around with pudding recipes and if the texture is too thick or too thin, reheat and adjust it.

we might be drinking our coffee at the wrong end 🙄 I haven't done this coffee enema thing for a long time, and if you mention it people always have this completely horrified reaction. But these same people have no problem with letting a stranger cut them open and mess with their internal organs... or replace major skeletal body parts...

I looked at that a bit and saw a concern of worsened colon or intestinal health. I was curious though.
