You spoke to a dietician and they seem to have said your diet is grand with a small tweak, that’s the most important thing.
Do I still want to make you a cake, yes very much so but I’m like a Jehovah Witness of cake and need an intervention.
Sorry to hear about your Dad Nuke, I hope you had people around to support you at the time and now too.

Only took just over 2 months to get appointment with the probers. This was suggested by doctor several years ago before my Dad got ill.
Just talking to gut specialists today.
The diet changes were me thinking aloud
So will get back to GP soon and get dietitian meeting set up.

Thanks - My father was a workaholic he was working the day he was admitted to hospital. When nurses saw him they immediately told him he couldn't go home. At least he got to stay going as long as possible.
Things going OK for family at the moment. We got huge support after he died. I can tell you how long it takes to shake hands with over 2000 people.
Really good guy to me especially after I was 19. We were totally different though!

I had difficulty cleaning out my system despite not eating anything for 36 hours

My system is very slow. When I eat beetroot it takes 3 days for it to show up in my shit - sometimes causes me to freak out a little bit if I've forgotten I ate it and all of a sudden there's a dark purple mess in the jacks

People on thumped talk about eating other crap - fried meat, deserts, cheese sandwiches, multiple cups of coffee and no one bats an eyelid.

When I had a c-scope my after meal was a large double decadence meat feast from Domino's. Afterwards my centre of gravity was off of normal that I couldn't walk properly. Belly full, gut empty. That was years ago though, couldn't do that now.
So fair play, wouldn't begrudge anyone there first post-fast meal. Yours sounds fairly decent.

Anyway, from what I read here, people are coming from a place of care. And I don't know you as well as others do.

I'm not big on fried meat....but the rest, Mmmmm

(except for bats eyelids)

i made a borscht with beetroot once. next time i went for a piss my first reaction was i must have had some sort of bad internal bleed.

 

[magicbastarder]

that was one of the drawbacks of getting into growing your own veg. you start with the 'this is the easy stuff for beginners!' veg and then realise 'i actually don't like beetroot/radishes/etc. that much and i've a load of it now'.

I like the Baxters beetroot from a jar but just the baby beetroot, not the sliced. I like to slice it myself. The out-of-the-ground beetroot (from the supermarket) seems to give me a bellyache no matter how much I cook it, not sure what I was doing wrong there

Yeah no doubt. But I once mentioned eating 250 g carbs in a day and was told that was very concerning, when far worse than that is being mentioned here regularly.

I have clearly stated my problems with food caused by medication many times. I have been very open and honest on this.
This is a much bigger disability than my mental health - but the alternative on no meds is much worse.
Being 1 stone overweight on anti psychotics is very hard work - I am two stone overweight.
I have a great life otherwise thankfully, nothing else to worry about.

A pal of mine had a hereditary stomach problem and was put steroids for a few years. She swears by fermented food as part of dealing with it.

Anyone whose digestive system doesn't work as well as you would like - I know how you feel. Can be very hard to get people to understand what is happening.

 

[magicbastarder]

they have kimchi and sauerkraut in one of our local aldis at the moment. i don't recall ever trying either of them, so i must get some.

 

[seanc]

You seem like the kind of person who'd enjoy making your own fermented foods. Do try, I do recommend.

 

[magicbastarder]

i do have experience with fermenting; cider mainly.

 

[nuke terrorist]

Just bought some pasta and quinoa neither of which I ate for ages.
The woman in the health food shop was trying to make some other suggestions and it got hilarious.
I had to tell her -

- I don't cook with oils.
- Only time I ever did was once in 1989.
- I don't have a frying pan etc.
- put olive oil on a spoon into my mouth etc etc.

Everything thing she helpfully suggested was alien to me. Way beyond anything I ever attempted. She got frustrated but we had a laugh about it.

I live above a bar / restaurant and you cannot understimate how much fried food annoys me.
It is sooo messy.
Will try cooking something on a pan some time but I highly doubt I will stick (pun intended) with it.

I love fermented food

We've fermented our own milk kefir for years, I have it on my muesli every morning. I love the sourness of it, but it's not a taste everyone likes - my eldest hates it. Not sure if it'd work for non-animal milk, but if it did then it might work for you @nuke terrorist - the fermentation gets rid of the sugars, so it'd give you the good bacteria plus a bit of extra protein without much that'd cause you to gain weight

We'd often also ferment veg we have too much of, like chillis or beetroot or even tomatoes. Also make sauerkraut occasionally, and we used to make kimchi but stopped cos it stinks too much (and makes my already-pretty-bad farts just fucking outrageously bad)

If you're buying anything fermented try and make sure it hasn't been pasteurised, otherwise it's not gonna have those bacteria you want

 

[magicbastarder]

i picked some nasturtium seeds last year, and they're really nice - kinda capery?

 

[magicbastarder]

that should have been 'pickled' rather than 'picked' - but they're nice and peppery raw too.

The dangers of sneezing – from ejected bowels to torn windpipes

The speed of a sneeze clocks in at a rather impressive 35mph in some cases.

is sneezing cancelled now? Honestly, you can't expel anything these days.
