Anyone have this? I have heard it doesnt matter because the body takes what it needs from it and such. I mean i dont have pieces of whole meat in there but you know..nuts/seeds,greens sometimes maybe?...legume skins,etc. maybe I need to take a digestive enzyme with every meal..not just meal once a day every other day or so.

nuts and seeds you don't digest so it is very common to see those white chunks in there.

indeed. legumes to though? hm..it seems when I take spirulina to..i see more food openly in them..

I'm not sure about spirulina but some things literally "push" everything out of your system. Beets is one example. if I eat a lot of beets I will see more undigested food and "floaters" because whatever is in it pushed everything out before it got digested.

wow..so thats bad right? yeah spirulina gaves me quick bowels..

Not necessarily bad. Could be useful if you are having severe stomach cramps to know something that works for you that will push everything out. As a daily thing yes it is bad.

I have heard that most chronically ill people with this illness have digestive issues. My daughter certainly did.

My daughter passed undigested food in the toilet. Her stools were a light color. We gave her digestive aids and HCL. An alternative to the HCL would be apple cider vinegar in a little water. These things eliminated the abnormalities that I mentioned.

Also be sure to chew your food well.

Ah, I see Heathersdad,what is HCL? Sorry...my bm's are usually darker colored..

The doctor I am going to see on his site recommends a little ACV before a meal each day.

Hydrochloric Acid or Betaine HCL

That means that you are on properly processing/breaking the food down and it's not being absorbed then. I used to have that. Lyme and co-infections will cause it. My LLMD put me on digestive enzymes before meals and I haven't had a problem since.

"That means that you are on properly processing/breaking the food down and it's not being absorbed then" dont get this part. ^

So...digestive enzyme with each meal,always before huh? I eat a lot of little snacks..so..it would be impossible to take enzymes for all that ,but..

I do not drink water or liquid with my meals,but I will take a small amount of water just to get an enzyme down before my meal. What brand you use?

thanks

So how come I absorb supplement capsules and tablets and such then but not all food? hmm
Posted 3/7/2013 3:11 AM (GMT 0)
Hmmm... not sure. Maybe the particles are easier for the body to break down? I know for example that I could eat cooked veggies and be fine, but raw veggies I couldn't process and absorb. My LLMD said that cooked veggies are easier to digest because the particles are broken down.

Well,it is encouraging to hear that your digestive enzyme capsule was being absorbed,lol. They are capsules so it makes me wonder if they are being broken down to help break the food down. omg..

Hi all,

before discovering the Lyme/Bart, my dr treated me for food allergies/intolerances and leaky gut. I'm sorry for the description, but if 'it' is floating on the water instead of sinking down (lol), it means that you have not digested the fats that you have eaten.
