Thank you for your service. You eat barely processed egg shell so we don't have to.

[@InkDragon]

my family has always used pickles for teething, you get the combo of funny faces from the taste, the pickle juice & cold tends to numb the sore spots, and the pickle skin is nearly impossible for them to bite though so you rarely have to worry about them biting off a piece.

[@taniaphillips3124]

What about adding a little bit of coconut oil to the boiled sugar to make vegan caramel? It would cut the boring sugar taste while adding a little mouth feel... @DaveStraya can you please ask Ann to try it? Also, Straya, love it 😄 🇦🇺

I like that you explained why some of the unappetising videos were necessary because the woman has IBS. That actually helped me understand why she did it that way.

[@zuzanalehotska]

I'm following a girl with multiple food allergies, she can eat only very limited amount of food. she's trying to recreate some meals from time before her syndrome developed from the limited ingredients and it might also look terrible, but she's mainly sharing her success and fails and people commenting around are giving nice advices how to fix the fails...

[@MedievalSolutions]

It's still one of those things where you can do better with the same ingredients. Though I do genuinely believe the eggshell thing is clickbait to the utmost degree.

Yeah with so many recipe videos created to intentionally be rage inducing in order to drive engagement, I'm glad the creator's intentions were clarified so as to hopefully avoid a whole bunch of ppl showing up in the comments to dunk on her.

@@zuzanalehotska I follow her too. Only about 15 foods are safe for her, right? She was the one who introduced me to foxnuts. The egg shell lady's videos are 100% just rage/engagement bait, and I don't support that kind of content. I'll follow the Hawaiian Japanese-American dietitian with IBS. She does so much good for both IBS sufferers and conventional eaters, and she doesn't use rage bait. Totally blanked on the dietitian's name, but I just remembered: Kylie Sakaida. Check her out.

Ann thanks to your debunking videos I was able to stop a bunch of my Grade 3 students here in Aus from attempting to microwave eggs or try to make the melted sugar fruit at home. They had NO IDEA how dangerous it could be and assumed that because it worked on TikTok, it would be fine. It was actually scary how many were going to try these without them or their families knowing the dangers.

If she wanted to be a good scientist she would have had people try the olive oil and maple concoction on ice cream, as was the point of the recipe, not on its own. Olive oil is a different type of fat than what is in ice cream. People DO put olive oil on ice cream because it changes the texture. Adding a little mint or pistachio or tahini or saffron after the oil is a perfectly legitimate way of still providing a contrast. Yes, you can also make it sweet with maple syrup or honey. You can order this for $50 in high-end restaurants. It's a more savory version of dessert to finish the meal and makes it closer to a cheese dish than a double-chocolate oreo cookie monstrosity. It's not 'wrong' it's just different and trying it without the ice cream misses the point. And it skews the story. You might as well get someone to try a spoonful of wasabi and then when they don't like it claim it has no place in sushi.

[@casteanpreswyn7528]

​@verity3616 the point wasn't "does olive oil work on icecream" it was "is olive oil added to maple syrup the same as a caramel sauce" which doesn't need the icrecream to test.

[@verity3616]

@@casteanpreswyn7528 No, that is not the point. They specifically call the 'sauce' they are pouring over a substitute for caramel, which it would be in haute cuisine. I don't doubt that the teenager fools on tiktok are poor salespeople for these trends, but Ann is nowhere near the honest and thorough scientist she pretends to be. She also uses marketing gimmicks and unfair or disproportionate tests to get the results she wants. She's done it with other flavors, other recipes, and with other product challenges. It's a cutesy gimmick to use her own family as the tasters, but even that is an enormous bias. She excuses her poor science by saying she makes these videos family friendly, but then excuses her more bitchy and provocative behavior by pretending she's a thorough scientist. She isn't either. She's just another person making ad revenue.

[@tathoiclassicalindianbollywood]

watching the Reardon kids growing up like a long-distance aunty is such an experience (bearing in mind that I'm probably the same age as them, and basically watched the videos over the years growing up). The boys are trying so hard to be respectful as they eat the weird stuff people ask Anne to recreate, while Dave's way past that and is super honest about the taste. The boys are like "hmm, smells like food, interesting flavour, not something I would eat normally, but you know if it floats your boat..." and Dave's like "nope, no, that's gross, this is not food, this is abomination".

[@HipyoTech]

As someone with severe IBS, most folks (one study found 76% of IBS sufferers) will see a huge benefit from following low fodmap recipes rather than just making low ingredient odd potions. Because its so newly discovered, not many people know about Fodmap intolerances even a lot of IBS sufferers! Would be really cool to see an episode covering low fodmap cooking, especially because you're in Australia, you could visit Monash university which is doing most of the research on it!

[@gray_mara]

That would be really great to see! I'm on a low FODMAP diet after a massive internal haemorrhage and I can't seem to reintroduce anything successfully. It makes it really hard to live when you can only eat tiny amounts of a very select group of foods.

[@hwiley8141]

Sufferred from diverticulitis for years. Low fibre lead constipation lead to flare lead to "low fibre diet". Then a doctor suggested fodmap. I lasted 4 days but it really helped. I dont have any known allergies so reintroduce was fine but so much better than previous cycle.

[@tkps]

I often wonder if it's not a new thing due to all the processed food, packaging and even how some grow plants and raise animals for food. When I was young no one had nut allergies, lactose intolerances, gluten intolerances, IBS etc. So if they existed, were very rare. I think modern food production has a lot to answer for even though Australia does it better than others.

[@lil-WolfyWolf]

personally I had to go keto due to a range of health issues that I have which includes IBS but I started on a low FODMAP diet first so a video on it would be awesome

[@noaburr]

@@tkps Lactose *tolerance* (lactase persistence) is a result of gene mutation in humans that originated (at least) 2000 years ago, and isn't widely present in many populations of the world. The more likely explanation is that all these things you mentioned have either always existed, or have existed for a very long time, but the symptoms were attributed to other illnesses due to lack of research, or just not talked about. With something like IBS it's pretty understandable why people haven't felt comfortable openly discussing their symptoms. I knew people growing up who'd always brush off their symptoms like bloating or nausea as part of their menstrual cycles or catching some kind of stomach bug, but when they found out I also had IBS they felt comfortable telling me they had it too and just didn't like to talk about it.

All the information about IBS was really interesting. I never knew it wasn't considered a defined disease. Some people would sit around and mock people for weird recipes but you took the time to explain why someone might need to cook without certain food.

[@cutsleeve117]

the fact it's not defined is the reason why I'm not on treatment for it anymore, hospitals just can't really do much besides recommend diets or give meds to deal with symptoms temporarily. Living with it for two decades now, I've mostly just accepted that I will be in pain no matter what and just eat anything I want (except dairy, lactose intolerance hurts too much)

[@beeboop093]

⁠@@cutsleeve117I was diagnosed with IBS when I was around 16 although I had symptoms from as young as 8. I tried all the IBS diets and never worked for me. I cannot eat nuts or spices or anything high in fibre (like lentils) or I’ll be living in the bathroom in pain. That’s just to name a few. I still fear travelling and going out places and always have to make sure I’m near a bathroom and have a ibs kit in my bag at all times. (Spare underwear, wet wipes and toilet roll, buscopan, immodium etc). It’s exhausting but not much I can do about it apart from get on with life

[@aprilbennett4161]

My mother's IBS ended up being caused by, of all things, arthritis. It turns out that arthritis can cause a sensitivity to certain foods, particularly complex sugars.

[@Heartabolical555]

IBS is definitely a defined disease. Im an immunobiologist and we can literally see IBS in the intestinal wall because its thicker and looks different when inflammed. Its a very bad disease, but sadly we dont really know yet how it works or can be properly cured. So thats the part thats undefined.

Sometimes they can be hard to follow, and I would be happy to help in order for people with more profound levels of deafness have better access to your videos (especially the debunking ones). I studied biology at degree level and there are a LOT of spelling errors of things like amylase. Please let me know if I can help! Thank you for all you do

[@theoriginaledi]

I'm very hard of hearing too (and, coincidentally, also have a biology degree :D). I wear hearing aids but still depend on captions a lot, and I second this. In addition to the issues mentioned above, I'm also often confused by the way the text just sort of runs together and isn't timed properly, so that it's hard to understand who's saying what. I'm always an advocate of improving subtitles/captioning in any way possible, and I appreciate you offering to help!

[@slurmophidalfellatroskob]

It's very weird too, how in this video the subtitles are a lot harder to follow then on her previous videos. I don't like accusing people, but I feel like she might've used AI for the captions this time (given that she's occasionally used AI-generated imagery before)? Because whenever Dave does the subtitles, they're a lot more coherent, legible, and have better spelling and grammar. 🤷‍♀ KZbin actually used to let people caption creator's videos for them with community captions, but they unfortunately removed them so it's much more of a hassle now to involve volunteers 😭

I just want to thank you for speaking so kindly about IBS. Too many people dismiss people with IBS's symptoms and they are forced to "just power through it". Additionally, thank you for speaking about how more research needs to be done so that people with IBS can get a diagnosis of a recognized condition. I see too many medical aid/ insurance companies not willing to cover treatment/ doctor's and specialist's visits for IBS, probably because it is, like you said, not a disease and just a syndrome. You are a wealth of information and we appreciate your videos very much.

[@lucretialee3691]

I was diagnosed with IBS in my teens, nearly ten years later I was also diagnosed with a genetic disorder (EDS). Turns out a lot of symptoms of IBS can also mimic problems caused by EDS to your digestive system, which leaves me in the position of not knowing if it's just my genetic disorder or if I actually do have both.

[@keitoimon]

for the calcium and eggshells: my parents had to do that when my mom was pregnant with my oldest sister. They lived in Cuba at the time and it was the time after the soviet union fell apart aka "el Período especial" when food got tight. Milk had already been something only kids and pregnant women got beforehand but it was extra hard during that time. And calcium deficiency during pregnancy is no joke and can lead to premature birth. So they'd grind the eggshells down with a bowl and mortar and mix it into her food and jump through many other hoops to ensure my big sister got everything she needed. My mom was unfortunately still underweight for a pregnant woman. This was a big reason for why my parents immigrated. They wanted to have kids but not like that. What I am trying to say is that when u are grinding egg shells for calcium it is generaly the kind of situation where u do not have access to dairy or supplements. It is not a pointless thing but instead a wonderful aspect of eggs that can be used in very shitty situations. But it is for very specific situations and not for weird crunchy grainless brownies. IBS sucks but there are easier options to go grainless than eggshells.

[@theshortolivia]

15:06 I didn’t expect to learn the semantic difference between disease and syndrome but I’m glad I did!! I have chronic fatigue syndrome (funnily enough irritable bowel issues come as a secondary thing with it) and it’s almost famous at this point for being a diagnosis of exclusion because just as you said with syndromes, it’s a group of symptoms but doesn’t test positive for any known disease (that we have a test for). Absolutely frustrating to have but interesting to learn that the reason it is is because it’s currently a syndrome not a disease!! Cool!!

[@eliz_scubavn]

Yeah, I didn’t realize there was a difference either and I’m diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (and gastro issues are common with this condition too!). Like your CFS, my form of EDS doesn’t have specific testing and diagnosing it is usually done on a basis of exclusion, although some other forms of the condition do have specific identifiable genetic markers.

I've heard that there can be a link between which pollens you're allergic to and what fruits/grains you should be avoiding.

Thank you for not stigmatizing certain ingredient-free diets like grain-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, etc. I have IBS, hEDS, and a bunch of other associated health conditions and I have to follow the low FODMAP diet, avoid migraine triggers, avoid my many food allergies, avoid high glycemic index foods, and the list goes on and on. It’s scary the amount of people who don’t believe me when I say I can’t have a certain food or I’ll be in pain or possibly the hospital (for allergies anyway). I really appreciate you educating the general population about IBS, there’s so much misinformation out there about it.

The first time my mom and I tried making our own caramel, we managed to melt a spatula. If the recipe says 'use a wooden spoon', there's probably a good reason for it! We use silcone spatulas for caramel now, which has a much higher melting point than sugar does.

[@callmedax6532]

This is also a good argument for not buying plastic utensils in the first place. If you don't buy tools that can melt, they'll never surprise you by melting.

[@comradewindowsill4253]

my mom had a spaghetti strainer or something made of plastic once. accidentally set it down on a hot surface and it melted in the most disturbing way, the melted plastic pushed up through the holes of the strainer, creating these weird round projections on the inside of the strainer. was only mildly melted though so she kept using it for a long while after. every time I saw it I wanted to clean out the melted bits with a knife or something.

They would not put "eggshells" on the ingredients list. They would put "natural calcium" or something like that.

[@aliengeo]

Eggs are a major allergen. In certain countries, they would be mandated by law to state on the packaging that egg ingredients were used. Yes, it's unlikely the shell is the part someone is allergic to, but better safe than dead of anaphylaxis. So it would be calcium (egg source) or something. And it's pretty easy to work out from there.

[@belialbathory2299]

In the USA it would probably get a license plate name. There are a few something like E34H1 or whatever. They are egg and dairy derivatives. Had to download an app the read nutrition labels to stop accidently eating allergens. 😑

[@colaptesauratus]

eggshells are made of calcium carbonate and you see calcium carbonate as an ingredient sometimes. i've seen it in cream of wheat and slim fast in the US. as for whether that particular calcium carbonate is ultimately sourced from eggshells, who knows? (and yes, it is detectably gritty in the cream of wheat)

Eggs are really mild in flavor when scrambled, so I'm not surprised the cocoa powder overrode the flavor.

It sort of reminded me of a Dutch Baby (dutch pancake? i've heard a bunch of names for it) which is mostly egg. a little bit of flour, little bit of butter, maybe baking soda? vanilla? i dont remember the recipe off hand. But I used to make them to use up a bunch of eggs lol. Its also very mild in flavor, I would put maple syrup on top and eat it like a pancake. And honestly a chocolate version doesnt sound half bad. I would definitely skip on the eggshells though XD

[@TheSilverInfinity]

whoops, I meant that about the 2 ingredient brownie. Didnt realize there was a second chocolate +eggs recipe in the video XD

[@Sevicify]

I actually seen a similar recipe on the channel Josh & Momma last week where Momma used boiled eggs instead of scrambled, coconut cream instead of milk and white sugar instead of honey. Based on recipes I seen (one using scrambled eggs instead of boiled) if you eat it right away you will taste the egg taste, but leaving it to rest in the fridge for a period of time (recipes usually recommend overnight) it goes away. In Momma's video it tasted fishy according to her sister and had a gritty texture suggesting it wasn't blending smooth so it still contained small pieces of egg affecting the flavour. She got the recipe from Emmymade who herself based it off testing a keto recipe, of hers Emmy said there was no egg flavour and while it tasted good the coconut flavour was too strong for her liking and if she made it again would likely use dairy milk and also add melted chocolate. Honestly looks like an interesting method for a high protein and low carb (if you reduce or omit the sugar or use a zero carb sweetener as most recipes suggest) alternative to a normal pudding or mouse.

I mean that’s with anything that can get stuck there. Popcorn, fish, etc.. Just be aware of the risks.

[@salientspoon]

Totally. But also as someone who works at an egg farm.. even post-wash, I cannot recommend avoiding eggshells enough. They're absolutely disgusting and a lot of people don't think about what they look like right after being laid. Many of the eggs have feathers stuck to them, grain from the chicken food, dust from the cages, chicken sh*t stuck on them, egg white or yolk stuck to them, blood from the chickens, random oil from machinery, among other (grosser) things. The latter four usually get thrown out unless they could reasonably be sprayed off with a spritz of water when they get sent to the factory. And that spritz of water doesn't do much in terms of sanitation, at least where I live, though maybe Australia has different standards. Even what Ann did with washing them would still make me feel uneasy, just having seen what eggs look like when they're farm fresh. Even if they look clean coming home, they're not clean. There's all sorts of bacterias and I'm not sure washing them off with water like she did would help. So.. yeah just avoid putting the shells in food. And yeah, I barely eat eggs (unless in something like cake) these days. And I make certain there's no shell in that stuff.

My symptoms have gotten steadily worse over the 15 years I’ve had this and I’ve restricted my diet so heavily and I have a lot of anxiety around eating foods that have previously been ok but all of a sudden cause a flare up. I have now seen a consultant that has given me a permanent medication I take everyday, it hasn’t exactly fixed me as I still experience flare ups and ungodly pain, but at least it passes quicker.
