fodmap··on YouTube suspended my account for posting DeFi hackathon video
No, I didn't. We're talking about Google here, not about all the companies of the whole world with the same, or similar behavior.

It amazes me that HN, and Twitter, is the only customer service for a multi-billion dollars company like Google.

fodmap··on China's Foreign Ministry 'not aware' of situation of tennis player Peng Shuai
This kind of situation is sadly usual in China and the World tends to turn a blind eye, like with the 'Uyghurs situation' so I hope WTA keeps the pressure.

Coincidentally I'm reading Red Roulette by Desmond Shum. His wife is in a similar state than Peng Shuai.

Yeah imagine what a wonderful world we'd have if all that scammer creativity were put to work for a good cause.
fodmap··on The short tale of an online scam
>Scammers really have stepped up their game

Here's an innovative one. I got an sms impersonating my cell phone provider telling me they're going to change my plan.

They'd decided which one is the best for me but I have until next month to chose one 'of the new plans' clicking on a bit.ly link. That links points to an Amazon affiliated link, and it's totally unrelated to my provider.

That burden is well documented in the movie 'Dark Waters' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Waters_(2019_film).

I really don't understand how some companies are getting off scot-free.

Very interesting. Thanks for that link.

'Campeones' (Champions), directed by Javier Fesser in 2018, is a beautiful movie inspired by 'Aderes' team in Burjassot (Valencia, Spain), a team created with people with intellectual disabilities, some of them with Down Syndrome.

fodmap··on A Michelin-Starred Chef's Quest to Harvest Rice from the Sea
What I find fascinating is that 'Zostera' is 'a perennial plant with exponential growth and a stout nutritional profile, including a payload of fiber and omega-3 fat, and gluten-free'.

The current Chef's plan is not to harvest it from the sea but cultivate it on land.

That's a good advice. I wish you the best with your recovery.
fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
Anecdotally the onions are way worse for me than garlic, although the latter doesn't do me any favor.

To anyone wanting to learn about FODMAPs, Monash University blog (1) helps to understand this very complex topic.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
I agree. For me, relaxing breathing techniques help me when having an stress episode.
fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
I did remove my question because I understood that it didn't add up anything interesting to the discussion.

Thank you for answering anyway. Your comment helps me to see why my post could be seen as not well intentioned.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
Yes, the key is to try to have the less restrictive diet without the food that triggers your symptoms.

About gluten, in my case I found out that it wasn't the problem but fructans.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
Exactly, that have been my personal experience too.

Identifying the triggers, and keeping an eye on quantity are the keys for me. It isn't an easy process but it makes a world of difference as you say.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
Right, the Bristol Stool chart. What a fun when doctors ask you to keep a stool record.

> It's likely whatever was wrong with me was brewing for awhile, and just triggered into something severe when something pushed it over the edge.

I can't back it up with any evidence but my feeling is that a combo of stress and too healthy food (for me) triggered my gut crisis.

What I mean is that I started to eat food that was too rich in GOS, and also fructose, just before my problems started.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
I've being suffering IBS for the past ten years. I also had that nuke all treatment and then try to colonize the gut.

It was antibiotics for x days, I don't remember how many, and then pre and probiotics for x days. Rinse and repeat.

It didn't work.

I only can speak for myself but the FODMAP diet is the only relief I've had experienced in ten years, and for the first time (pardon my french) my shit is not watery.

P.S. I agree science has a lot to learn about this topic.

fodmap··on Microbial ecosystems in the mouth and gut are linked to many ills
Fellow IBS sufferer here. I understand and share your pain.

There isn't any magic pill yet but until someone invents it I can tell you I've found great comfort following the FODMAP diet.

I've wasted ten horrible years until I discovered that Monash University diet.

Ten years of pain and expending.

Hoping it can help you as well https://www.monashfodmap.com/

fodmap··on Does Parkinson’s Begin in the Gut? (2018)
Absolutely but the Monash app helps with the process, at least in my case.
fodmap··on Does Parkinson’s Begin in the Gut? (2018)
You're right, not all food intolerance tests are the same. For example lactose intolerance tests are pretty accurate but fructose intolerance tests are not as reliable, and need more studies.

I got the full experience: endoscopy, colonoscopy, allergies (skin tests), celiac test, lactose test, fructose test, etc.

fodmap··on Does Parkinson’s Begin in the Gut? (2018)
I'm fructose intolerant too, and when I discovered it, and I adjusted my diet accordingly, my life changed for the better.

Probably your wife knows about it but just in case, I've found a great relief in the low fodmap diet by Monash University.
