I bought almond milk

as I poured it into a glass and while I was about to drink it the smell bothered me brought me back in time when I felt this smell in sweets and I did not like it !! this can be a sign of instinctive intolerance as a child! I have never eat sweets with the smell of almonds !! never almond milk! how can I test it if it causes me problems or not!

HI Ares,

A way to tell if you will or will not tolerate this is to give it the 3 small serves test.....try some, wait a few minutes to an hour or two, then try some again you can wait a day even, then try it one more time, if by the third time you don't rush to the bathroom it's pretty safe to say even if you don't like the smell it may be a safe drink for you.

I didn't like the smell of coconut milk but it is safe for me to drink.

I have add potatoes and rice and some cherry fruits ( a sweet tentation in this periode) but My constipation is come back like in past and the gas too night morningh afternoon ect and the mucus is come back very much and smell is like a cat dead in the road! or a dead fish on the beach! and stool is hard and little like golf ball! if I don’t go in bathroom one day begin my constipation and all these problems! is a vicious circle, mucus constipation food, constipation mucus food ect! potatoes and rice bring me so much gas that I do not know anyone in my life with so much gas !! The Acne did not go away looking like mosquito bites on the forehead, always new! I was advised to eat animal fats, but I'm afraid that the potatoes and rice are not "edible" for me (in addition to the fruit and fruit) but are they the cause of mucus and constipation?

Having suffered bowel problems since a young child which began with constipation I recently tried ileocecal valve manipulation and it worked! Now I think it’s possible that valve has never functioned properly. Might not be suitable for everyone though.

the smell is due to fermented foods in your gut due to slow motility and that your digestion is not breaking down food.

do not eat fruit.
increase water, fat intake
increase magnesium intake

acne will go away when you have better/regular digestion

Thanks for the video I will try to do!

For the smell when I ate food like pasta bread mucus was much and smeel more strong ,
And constipation too!

But without this food smeel and mucus don t go away completely.

I don t eat pork and beef and veal and turkey (for histamine or tyramine or otherwise gives me a headache)

Where I find animal fat ?? ( ok chicken but is not mich)

Coconut oil is ok like animal fat?and oil extravergin ? Or they aren t the same think because are vegetal fat?

Now I take 2 pills magnesium 450mg
I have to increase dose?

It is strange before I drank much water but since when I have began to eat so ,
I ‘m not thirsty !!!

Thanks

P.S. what do you mean when tou say my digestion don t breaking down food?? That don t work acid and enzymes ??

the fermentation (gas) and constipation it is very likely there is not enough acid to assist digestion process

animal fat is animal fat - from animal sources chicken, duck, lamb, venison, etc etc
coconut oil will help a bit, but it is not the same as animal fat
(and some people react to olive oil so coconut oil is a safer option as vegetable fat)


mucus is a sign of inflammation - something you are eating or having regular contact with is triggering inflammation reaction in your gut
as you are constipated, the gas and foul smell is fermenting food. fruit, processed starches like bread and pasta, sugar etc will make this worse

Good evening, I have problems with constipation, even 5 days :(. I'm taking 2 magnesium oxide capsules one before lunch one after lunch, but it's not helping me like the first few times, plus I always have a throat burning all night long , and I think it is increased by constipation, if I eat only meat I have a greater burning sensation, I try to eat some carbohydrates that strangely sometimes help me go to the bathroom, I drink so much water but it is useless it has no effect on the stimulation of the bathroom! I also try a little apple but nothing happens !! constipation causes a lot of gas and pain in the colon like stings all night long

HI Ares,

You will need to change your Type of Magnesium first, ok. It will need to be Citrate or Malate and 200mg morning and night should help, but anything other than Oxide (this is a cheap magnesium that you would need to take very HUGE amounts to see any constipation relief).

Next it would not hurt to take Betaine HCL with your meals and go ahead and eat fruits with your meals until your constipation eases up then back off on the fruit until you find the right balance of bathroom trips.

Start here and give this a while to start working....it will not happen over night and you may need to use a laxative such as a product is called in the USA milk-of-magnesia if your symptoms are so severe that you can not get food to move through your colon.

Good luck and take care
Erica

thanks Erica P-G. I'm afraid of citrate because it immediately gives me a headache !! I took it melted in the water !! I do not know this American product, I will try to increase the magnesium doses, and for HBL I know that a doctor can prescribe it but in case of gastritis or other it is not recommended! for fruit I try to eat it after meals to give me some help but often it only creates gases like carbohydrates for lunch that slow down my digestion and create gas! I'm really intoxicated I don't know what to choose to make me feel better
