Diet that 100% manages my POIS! (Changed from:Diet that CURED my POIS!)

[b_jim]

I'm on omeprazole for the next 15 days. I changed all my diet.
What increase my gastritis symptoms : fats(+++), meat, dairy products, white bread/pastry/junk food (+++)...
I don't feal no-gluten diet helps. But I tried to eat buckwheat + millet and oats to decrease acidity. Of course, lot of vegetables,  fish, fruit and nuts/almonds...

And now, what decrease my Pois : only low glycemic index food.

Hey guys so I had an epiphany today after finding weird things in my stool.  I had been eating all pinto beans for the past two days. 

So yeah it looks like parasites in my intestines.  It makes sense because I just started eating a raw onion right now and symptoms have decreased a lot. 

Whenever I ate a sugary fruit, like apples, the symptoms definitely worsened (mainly brainfog and numbness of body in some areas which led to social anxiety).  Also I think carbohydrates like rice and potatoes (which I had been eating a lot of) feed the candida and parasites as well. 

I have had a slight distended abdomen which I have kept thinking is fat, but even with all the workouts I do (I am in decent athletic shape) it would not go away.   

I'm ordering an intestinal/parasitic cleaner supplement from amazon:
 https://www.amazon.com/IntestinePro-Intestine-Echinacea-Ingredients-Vegetarian/dp/B00TET0MS8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509559616&sr=8-3&keywords=parasite+cleanse+for+humans&dpID=51%252BKB0qiAHL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch#customerReviews 

It makes logical sense in my mind because I've tried a lot of different nutritional supplements that haven't helped.
 
And yeah like Going Less Crazy advises, avoiding all the bad oils with Omega 6 is a great way to go because I'm sure the parasites love this toxic environment. 

Thanks Quantum, yes it is important to get a supplement with Omega 3 only.

Hi Dwight,

What results did you have with the anti-parasitic supplement ?  Any update?

Just to add to the discussion of leaky gut, I believe I also suffer from this. I have a genetic abnormality for the DAO enzyme which means I process histamine in food more slowly, and histamine can cause gut permeability and inflammation. I also had a high sugar diet growing up and frequent binge eating episodes in my life due to depression.

I?ve found that a low carb, kerogenic diet is the best thing for my mood and energy, but it?s very limited in terms of foods.

I find that the supplement glycine seems to help my gut, its used in healing leaky gut as well as glutamine (which I don?t tolerate).

The hardest part of following AIP for me is the no chocolate rule! I would eat 100% cacao chocolate daily as part of my ketogenic plan but after some research I?ve found it?s probably making leaky gut worse (it contains various things that aren?t good for the gut). So carob it is!

Also I wanted to add that I?ve found good quality Curcumin supplements help immensely with food intolerances and inflammation in general. I always notice the difference when I run out of my curcumin supplements!

Edit: also wanted to add that from what I?ve learnt, carbs can affect mood by lowering serotonin levels over time. While they provide a serotonin boost initially via insulin, in the long term they can actually deplete serotonin levels. Nora Gedgaudas explains this well: https://youtu.be/E5sEAei_zMQ

GlC what do you think of cocunut sugar.  What about soy in multivitamins.

[certainlypois2]

for those that might be looking to lift weights on this diet: there is bone broth protein supplement .

GlC what do you think of cocunut sugar.  What about soy in multivitamins.

I believe pure coconut sugar should be fine.

Funny you mention soy because I just tried some gf soy sauce to see if I can eat it.  I got stomach pain.  So no go on anything soy.  It's also supposed to be a gluten cross reactor.  Soy lecithin should be okay though.

Also, I've managed to completely add white rice back into my diet.

Hey guys.  So after eating some things that seem to stay in my system for over a day (vitamin c,etc.), I decided to get something to support my liver just in case I have some problem.  This is when I came across milk thistle.  I've been taking this for about 2 weeks so far but it has a really good effect on me, especially neurochemically.  I am happier and seem more motivated.  I've gotten it down to the amount of maybe a quarter the size of a pea every morning and can really feel it.  I also O'd after eating ice cream and had not experienced pois yet, done this twice.  This made me do some more research on it.

So milk thistle seems to increase serotonin/dopamine levels and upon further research it seems to have an antiinflammatory and immunoregulatory effect.  It inhibits t-cell formation, I believe the specific one involved in celiac disease.  So if this is correct, it would dampen my reaction to certain foods. Check it out on Google.  So this could be a very good supplement for me as well.  It has only been 2 weeks, but it is promising so far.

***Update, after trying for a while, it has started to impact my sleep,. I will keep this herb handy because it definitely makes me feel well.  I will use it when I need it, not every day.

[mike_sweden]

I have recently started with Paleo and im gonna try it 100%!

Good luck.  What's really important is paying attention to foods you personally react to.  Notice how you feel after eating it and if it works keep it in your diet.  Hope it helps!

Also, for those with celiac, here is some hope in a different area of research that aims to block an enzyme responsible for notifying t-cells of gluten and gluten-like proteins which causes symptoms.

UPDATE

Just an update on my condition. Iv'e been POIS free for 5 months now by sticking to a strict ketogenic diet. My main source of carbs have been pressured cooked mung/adzuki beans and vegetables although I only get in about 30 grams of net carbs per day.

The cognitive improvement and reduction in anxiety have been truly life changing and has certainly been responsible for my improved performance at my job. Many will see a ketogenic diet a step to far to consider, but in my eyes I have my sexuality back, which is invaluable. I am no longer in a state of agony for days following an orgasm.

Hi GLC,

You talk about mouth sores. What do they look like? Could you search for a similar pic on the internet and post this here? I have irregularities in my mouth and wonder if they look the same as yours.

That is very great to hear!  Hope the relief continues!

Mine look very similar to this:

Lol sorry about the format (I'm posting on my phone).  But usually they are small, pale, circular and painless bubbles that form on the inside of my cheeks.  They last about 12 hrs or so depending if I pop them or not.

[Muon]

Hmm no, mine are different. The closest thing it resembles are fordyce granules, the entire inner surface of my cheeks are littered with it: https://www.quora.com/What-virus-or-allergy-can-cause-hundreds-of-tiny-bubbles-on-the-inner-lip-and-cheek-areas
My tongue also looks very rough with cracks, dunno what this is all about but anyway thanks for showing the picture.

Interesting.  Yes mine are definitely not that, usually I get one or rarely 2 at a time.  About the size of half a pencil eraser each.

My opinion, becuse we hawe bad guts , we hawe malabsorbtion of vital vitamin and nutrients.
