Fenugreek + Garlic...

"tubers"? Is that carrots, beets, potatoes and sweet potatoes?

Technically yeah. I haven?t tested all those groups perfectly, but a food in that group in addition to gluten makes my POIS worst. They are renowned for their lectins which can cause a host of autoimmune issues. So I figured I might as well omit them for a bit and see how it goes

[BoneBroth]

Any specific food in that group? Can you eat boild and cooled potatoes? How about apples, I just had a very flatulent week and I've been eating 2 apples a day (hight fodmap). I can't do it anymore!

Hey so the primary indicator I am looking at is how my mood and severity of POIS is impacted from diet. I do not actually have any physical digestion problems or discomfort that I know of.

Gluten grains seems to be the absolute worst - even to the point of rendering my POIS solution basically useless. Then regular grains/pseudograins come in second, although because there is so many of them it's difficult to discern whether it's a select few or all of them in general. Due to the nature of what I am testing too, it's super subjective, making it very vulnerable to placebo.

Given that I personally have found a lot of benefit in eliminating these types of food groups i.e. grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc, I am going to be playing around with an anti-lectin diet and see how that goes. Haven't decided whether I am pairing it with ketogenic, although I probably will.

This is all in addition to raw minced garlic, fenugreek, etc for POIS.

If you could, try if you can tolerate millet porridge, I'm eating it every morning. Its low fodmap, low GI and less irritating on the intestines and more alkaline to the body then oat meal. 1 dm millet seeds in twice the water, bring it to boil, empty the water and add 1 new dl water and make it simmer for 10 minutes.

Yup it's on my todo list to try . I am following Dr. Gundry's anti lectin diet

DSG can be found in fenugreek, while DTS in garlic. Both seem to be effective against premature ejaculation, especially so when combined.

Happy 15th Anniversary Fenugreek!

Hi everyone!

I had the idea that since oxytocin is heavily involved in the chemistry of orgasms, it might be worth trying to supply my body with the necessary ingredients to produce more oxytocin. Synthetic oxytocin is difficult to obtain and administer, so I thought I'd give Fenugreek a try, which is praised for its oxytocin-like properties. You can buy it at most heath stores I believe.

I took some of it before and after 2 lots of orgasms, and well ...

Wow!

I had work the next day, which normally would be an excruciating trial socially. Not that day it wasn't. I happily chatted to the boss about some complex issues, and spent a lot of the day chatting and flirting with a couple of my female co-workers .... something that would have been impossible under normal POIS circumstances. The brain fog had been greatly reduced, while the social anxiety component of POIS had been almost completely eliminated! The following day was more of the same.

I don't want to get too excited too soon, I know drugs and herbs can become less effective as they are used more frequently, and the positive effects might not last forever. Also, maybe I have just had two particularly good days, and it will be back to normal during my next potential POIS episode.

If anybody else is thinking of taking it, it sounds very safe - in fact it is an ingredient in certain foods. Only pregnant women should stay away from Fenugreek. I'll carry on posting here as I continue taking fenugreek, I hope I will continue to have good news!

It's been a reliable standby for me for many years, I mixed up a batch 2 weeks ago after an "unscheduled O". Here's the original post and the responses on Naked Scientist, there's some really interesting discussions there:

Thanks for this very interesting flashback, Hurray !
Fenugreek is still helping many POIS sufferers today, so your discovery is still very useful !

Thanks Demo We had some great discussions back then - they were pioneering days, John21's thread had only been going for 18 months at that point, and I think it was the first real online discussion of POIS.

Thank you Quantum, it was an exciting moment to find something that genuinely helped me after years of looking, and even better to discover that some other people found it useful too
