We are growing grass for cats inside, and last yea4 I discovered the Zevo. Love it.

I just ordered "generic " glu traps for them. I hope they would work as well as the original.

BTW- I had to put the Zevo on a timer, because the light is so bright that I noticed it in rhr bedroom. I try to keep bedroom as dark as possible so even though the light was in the breakfast room, then there is kitchen then Family room, the blue light affected the illumination in the bedroom. The light turns on at 6am and off at 11. Blue light interfere with melatonin production.

Hello, good afternoon.

I see you put "boiled eggs" for breakfast...aren't you allergic to them?

Just curious. At one time i was diagnosed with a allergies to different foods. But they got resolved after 5-6 years of total avoidance plus gut healining.

Yes, it's possible to get rid of allergies when those allergies were caused by "a leaky gut syndrome". Once the leaky gut condition is significantly improved, and the person avoids the foods for a significant amount of time, the allergies can go away (But they could be back again - I did a bunch of research on that. )

I got extremely busy, then started listening to a book and my Saturday was completely lost to it.

Qotd: rare to mid rare, but only filet. Any other needs to be well done, ideally in a sauce.

Food wise - I still eat whenever but I really want to get back to my keto-paleo diet.

In a meantime I found a keto friendly "breaded chicken strips" in Costco (RealGoodbrand). They are tasty. Really good. It's one of protein food I actually have to put away once I start getting i get ful. from my hands' reach when I start feeling full. Yesterday I over- ate, so I was paying for that.

I probably would fix some dinner today. I try to have "eat out of fridge or freezer" month. Yes, we have enough of food in the fridge/freezers. Including a huge pork shoulder, pork loin, lasagna, chicken breast (2 big packs), and so on.

I need to get some noodles for Keith (spaghetti or angel hair) to have at home. And I've got rice and cauliflower rice (for me).

The only other foods I would get would be fresh produce and "staple food - snacks for Keith. He works from home and he likes to get some "easy grab, reheat, and eat at a desk" food.

The RealGood brand pre- cooked food is not too bad.

Good morning. You are the queen of productivity. Wow.

Qotd: there is at least one "spirit" in the office building of our company. I often hear him when everyone is gone for the day. I saw him only a few times. I'm not the only one who experience the presents of the ghost. He is neither friendly not unfriendly- he just is.

I know there is a "phantom " black cat in our house. We see him quite often.

I personally don't like visit "haunted houses" I had enough of that in my life.

Yesterday I attempted to have a low carb day. It started well ..but it was a major fail by the end of the day. Ugh.

Today would be a better day. I hope.

BTW: I can't attach a latrger file to the PM/DM in obesity help. I can send yu a presentation that talkes about that specific SIBO issue. It really help me understanding the conditrtion much better.

Any type of rwegular email woud do - gmain or hotmail.

I can then provide you with my personal scheduel of what I take and how much when for 2 weeeks. (I increase the doses of the supplements over 2 weeks).

Then after the antibiotics/Candida treatment I send 2 weeks on rebuilding the gut flora. That is importnat becouse without teh good bacteria- fungi is difficult to properly digest food.

I've been trying to retire sine 2018. We need to sell the business for me to be able to retire. I'm working on that. As for Dewey - he is a super cuddly cat. Very seldom he is not with or around one of us when we are home. Except Keith works from home now 100% of the time so he had to train Dewey to let him work. But Keith and cats have lunch together.

Head elevated- no, that hurst my back, but elevated legs - specially knees - absolutely. My back is lying flat on my bed, unless Dewey decides he needs to sleep on my belly. 22 lbs added in my mid-section is "upsetting the balance". My behind gets pushed into the mattress. That often causes pain, enough to wake me up. I then need to reposition Dewey, him lying beside me (cuddled, with his head on my shoulder or neck) and we go back to sleep right away. When I wake him up in a middle of the night, he gets grouchy for maybe 5 second, then starts to cuddle and starts purring and snoring in no time...When one of us goes to bed earlier- we try to get Dewey to go to bed, but he often stays with me in the family room, especially when I'm not feeling my best and I need to be in a recliner. He is one of it's own kind cat - he cuddles with you when he wants to, and he cuddles with one of us if we want him to cuddle. It's his job to take care of me when I get bad SIBO gut spasms. Seriously.

Talking about the head - someone suggested a special pillow. I got is, but I was reluctant to try. When I got it I did not think I would like it. But I love it. Its great for my neck, especially when I sleep on my back.

Muscle relaxants can cause itching plus dry mouth. And even nausea. Benadryl can help but antihistamines are not good for the brain so I'm trying to limit that.

If you decide toget tested for SIBO, make sure they test for all 3 types. Often they test for 2 only. Plus have in mind that for a lot of people who had WLS, it may come false negative.

If you are dealing with RH after eating (reactive hypoglycemia), that test may also cause that.

Hello everyone. Monday. ugh. But only 4 days until Friday.

Work is interesting, life is OK. I started my antibiotics and supplements regime and next 2 weeks would be ...interesting. Then 2 weeks after that would be so-so as I would be rebuilding healthier bacterial balance in my gut/

QOTD: I haven't add any new app on my phone in the last 2 years, And if I want to think about last one - it was an app for Keto-mojo device to measure BS and ketons.

My eating is still a mess but I hope with more days of treatment - my craving for sugar and sweets would diminish.

My gut is not happy but that's normal.

84 minutes.???? ouch...

Ugh. There are advantages of living in smaller towns. Last time I needed blood work, I even did not have an appointmnent (I forgot to make one) and with my doc appointmnet on Wednesday, I really needed blood work on Monday. Before 8am (hormonal testing). I was done in 15 min.

I've got a list of very pottent, strong supplements to take for SIBO and candida. I often combine that with my antibiotics. But it's way over $100 for 2 weeks treatment.

unfortunatly dairy are not paleo as far as I know. So no cheese. .

Thank you.

Have he tried Kratom? I used teh powder i the past, but I start using more and more and got really dependent oin it. I had to get off. It took me a few months to slowly taper down.

I have been off that for app 2 years. But this year I got introduced to kratom extract. I tried some, and it surprised me. It actually wors for my nerv pain (pain in my leg). Since I start usig it, I really get pain free hours. I was able to cut my narco and muscle relaxants to 1/2 my daily dosage. And before that, the regiular daily dose was just lowering my pain, not really getting rid of the pain.

The coamny I use is https://herbapumps.com/. Their pump is very very concentrated. I use that maybe 1-2 x a day if I really start hurting. I use their GS golden standard, and i use less than 20 ml per day (in 4ml doses at a time). But sometime seven 1-2 ml is enough to help.

I rather not used anything, but not having the leg pain is huge thing.
