Flare Tricks

This might be a fun little topic.

So whenever I fight back a flare I usually come up with a new trick or two. Sometimes it gets utilized, sometimes not. This last flare was a bit unusual and it produced a few new tricks. Not sure if they will be incorporated yet but we shall see.

I'll share them with you and you can do what you wish. I care about you all and if it assists even one of you it was worth typing this.

Here goes: Chef S. Boulardii has been fired. He makes a terrible starter yeast for baking. He's still good for D but is a horrible cook.

New twist on juicing.. I start with the spinach first now. I clean the metal centri thingy with a toothbrush and/or spray hose and send it back thru. I remove pulp and finish carrots n celery. I mix the spinach pulp with my applesauce probot mix. Very earthy and quite tasty. I break open the probot caps and mix. Eat mix, stir and chug juice. (still not sure why everyone here isn't juicing.. no one cares that you can get the nutrients of a 10 oz bag of spinach, 1 lb of carrots and 3 stalks of celery in ~12 oz of juice? still baffled by that one but its your body..)

I switched probo brands. Came across B. infantis during one of my readings. (I've been trying to understand the colonization of bacterial flora in babies' sterile guts blah blah.) Anyway, I havent ousted bifidus, only adding infantis. Hate to name drop but whatever.. Align has it. BUT I found a nice little treasure in the wally world brand called 4x digestive care. Has 5 bil total and I guesstimated almost a bil of infantis. AND it costs only 17 beans here in hicktown USA. That works for me! I can feel a difference already after only 6 doses. I fear animalis is gettin the boot for this stuff. Loving it so far. Highly highly recommend infantis. Look it up, its a beast..

Switching over to paleo full blast with only a few exceptions. However, I'm making a hybrid with a food combination chart. Why? I pretty much eat the paleo anyway so was an easy switch and having good results with food combining. I like the alkaline factor of the food combos and the paleo diet just makes sense. Im slowing down the eating process some as well. More cutting, more chewing, grinding, chopping. Why? Without giving some boring bio speech, smaller pieces=more surface area for enzymes=less residue and better stool form.

A new supp has been added. Reishi. I used to take it but stopped. Idk why I stopped bc its awesome, so I take it again now. Emperors used to take it and not bc it tastes good. Do not, I repeat do not break the caps, leave it in pill form. I'm warning your taste buds. It has replaced AAKG in my supps.

Now I don't usually make this many changes this fast but like I said earlier it was a unique flare that required unique weapons. I was not going to go panco again without some kung fu. This is the stuff that seems to be working and I obviously omitted the things that didn't bc no one cares about that.

Thanks for reading. Thats all I can think of at the moment.

My go to food for flares is as ridiculous as it sounds Cheeseburgers on a seedless bun with one slice of american cheese (I'm one of the few without an issue with diary). I eat one pretty much everyday while flaring and it has worked well for me.. I know it sounds ridiculous! But you get a fair amount of calories/nutrients and stay full for quite a while. I'm not talking about McDonalds cheeseburgers however haha! Use quality meat.

Outside of Cheeseburgers I eat Grilled Cheese and Bananas, that's about it.

When I read "supp" I translated that to "suppository" instead of "supplement." And I was mightily confused as to why you knew what your suppository tasted like!

@ q.. No my friend, my brazilian jujitsu class is exhausting. lol. 20 min every sun nite makes about 12-15 oz of juice. I proportion it into 4oz tupperware and freeze them to lock in the goodness and stop enzyme activity. Every night before bed i take one out and fridge it. Next morning I take the shot with my protein shake.

@Eph its called Equate 4x digestive care Probiotic digestive system support (ghetto Align).. The supp facts (per serv): B infantis 10mg SD5845 strain, 68mg blend of L Acidophilus, B Bifidum, B lactis. 5 bil total. Im weary of "blends" so most of the 68 mg are prolly acidophilus but I take the probo for the infantis. I add it to my bifidus and plantarum supplementation. Im taking about 15 bil 2-3x a day with applesauce when loose. Ill back off some when things consistently tighten up.

@fruitgirl.. ur a mess. lol. I should be more careful with my abbreviations around you. haha. Nope nothing goes in the back door but doc, and Im asleep during scopes. Not an ego thing, just personal preference I guess.

On the cheeseburger tip.. there will never be an argument from me about the efficacy of cheeseburgers. I love them and they agree well. Mostly I grind my own chuck press and freeze. Most legit supermarkets will grind some for you, in front of you. Theres a wicked place down the street that makes their own burger too. I admit Ive been guilty of eating the occasional fastfood burger and I pay the price. Seedless buns are crucial, I usually ask for 2 bottom rolls bc "the seeds get stuck in my teeth." Yeah ok, lol, and its true but they dont need to know anymore than that.

Here's a good recipe when grinding your own meat, send a strip of bacon per burg thru the grinder with the beef of your choice. enjoy. Just make sure to omit some of the beef tallow or its gets too greasy.

I just looked and didnt see it on there either. Doesn't surprise me though, wally world has alot of issues with their website not matching their stores. UPC 8113100876. It was in a green and white box next to Align. It was like $16 and change so I bought 2 of them.
