Indeed!
I have betaine HCL would that work the same?
It contains betaine for sure but I really don't know if you will get meaningful doses (like at least 250mg pure betaine) without betaine HCL dose being too much acid.
Yeah that's what I was thinking too.
How much protein are you eating? I get bad digestion if I don't eat enough protein, with symptoms like bad taste in the back of my throat, flaky skin and restlessness. About 120 grams of protein with enough sugar and salt are what I seem to need to make enough stomach acid. That's a lot more protein than what I was used to eating.
It might be worth checking into an auto titrating type. Just steer clear of the respironics dream station if you get a used unit because they were recalled this year. If you get one and need help feel free to message me.
I struggle the most with protein, although I'm doing better than I used to as I now eat 3 eggs in the morning instead of just having a bagel and cream cheese or something like that. But I am always trying to do better.
Ok Blossom thank you!!
I struggle with it too. If I have too much protein without enough gelatin, it starts to hurt all over. Getting a little over half of my protein as gelatin whenever I eat protein helps me reduce or avoid this. Some sources of gelatin have high phosphate relative to calcium, so I try to get enough calcium also.
Ironically I have been having way more gelatin lately as I made homemade turkey stock with turkey necks for thanksgiving and have been eating that everyday.
I don't have experience with eating lots of turkey gelatin. But I noticed that the animal that the gelatin comes from has a big effect on my response to it. Pork gelatin doesn't digest well and worsens inflammation, but beef gelatin is digested well and improves my mood, skin, hair, and more.
Yeah pork tends to cause issues for a lot of people. It may have been the left over mashed potatoes, I have issues with resistant starches. But I did the raw garlic and steam and bought a humidifier and feel fine today maybe a little bit more stuffy than usual.
I asked RP about muscle tension and irritability after supplementing vitamin D topically. He said they could be a reaction to MCT oil.
That's a predictable response as he has been very sensitive to excipients. I have used plenty of MCT oil topically though, so I'm not so sure I'm sensitive.
I am using @haidut 's energin, plus sometimes folinic acid and I also have a methyl B12 supp but I haven't used it yet.
It's got 6, the other two Peat isn't a fan of: folate and B12. But we need them just not in mega doses.
