O.T. What's the pH of your poop?

Post by HoseCrusher » Wed May 22, 2019 4:58 pm

The gut microbiome is a topic of recent discussions. Jeff Leach has some interesting observations as a result of his Human Food Project including American Gut.

Not a concern, only worry about solid and liquid forms. :shock: Jim

I can see it now...

Right next to the condom in the wallet is a strip of pH paper... just in case. :)

Can you provide some cliff notes of the video? My attention span is good for about 5 minutes max.

How is your reading speed...?

I believe most of these topic segments can be covered in about 5 minutes.

Not looking.
At my age, changing my diet for any reason outside of glucose control
would be more stress than I can handle.
Bacon calms me.

Interesting...

What if your microbiome health has a direct influence on your glucose?

I prefer pepper bacon.

I don't check the PH of it, I don't paint or build walls with it, I don't throw it at people standing outside of my cage, I flush it. :lol: Jim

It really depends on what it tastes like. Can describe the flavor?

Due to metformin, I need to flush at least twice--sometimes the bowl brush is a MUST.
NO WAY that (censored) is staying around any longer than I can get rid of it.
Ample supply of soluble fiber helps reduce the frequency, but the met helps with glucose control.
It is much easier now that I use a CGM. I can test as often as I feel like. 18x yesterday.
Any food they blame for constipation--yeah, right; fairy tales.
