Perfectly formed BM...

This is the second time, after having had lobster for dinner, that my next morning's BM is perfectly formed - as it used to be prior to UC disease and diagnosis.

As I"ve written in another post:

 I've been eating lobster to prove that it helps bring my fibromyalgia pain to ZERO. My theory is that it contains glucosamine. And apparently this is what's helping with the bowel movements too?

OldMike was kind enough to post this thread:

and here's another posted by Hoogie:

So, my question is: has anyone else found the same result: eating lobster causes their BM to be perfectly normal? OR by taking Glucosamine supplements?

Thanks for the link, very interesting. It seems that the glucosamine sulfate is the one I'll try next.

How have you been doing?

My pleasure.

Go for the real deal: steamed lobster with drawn butter

BTW, just make sure when you pick out your live lobster, make sure it's a spunky one with tail curled upwards (like a scorpion). Most market will steam it for you at no extra charge.

Let me know how you make out with it.

Thanks Mike for the links.

Are you taking L-Threonine? And if so how much, I assume pills?

What did you decide to do about the LDN?

Take a half teaspoon once a day

So how much do you think is in 1/2 teaspoon?

The thing about supplements is you are only getting one component.
With a lobster you are also getting all the biopeptides

True enough, however, it seems that L-Threonine enables other amino acids to work more efficiently and,  in some cases work at all.

Yes, lobster is an expensive fix, however for me, I can't tell you how pleased I am that the L-Threonine amino acid powder has had the same effect and thus I can take it daily.

One thing that seems to make for more solid stools is calcium.
I can't take calcium as I find it very hard on the stomach.

I mix the powder (tastes sweet) in 1 oz. of water and drink it down, at bedtime.

I sleep like a baby to...

You're right of course, it does seem quite cruel...

but as expensuve as they are, makes me want to shoot for a nice lobster tail dinner with the missus soon.

I hate to burst your bubble, but you might not get the extra benefits from lobster tail, especially if it's frozen. Seems there's a strong correlation between fresh live lobster and the amount of Threonine.

As to the L-Threonine, I'm wondering if you might try to take the powder 2g in 1 oz. of water at bedtime the way I do, if it might help you more?

The reason I ask is because I did  play around with the dosage by splitting it throughout the day, without the same effect.

What do you think?
