As you can keep it at room temp but the grains multiply so fast that you end up having to throw a lot away (unless you find a home for them !).

There's an error in this video that's important to the content. The artichokes we generally think of when referring to artichokes are called globe artichokes and they are the flower of the plant. These common globe artichokes are NOT hight in inulin. On the other hand, Jerusalem artichokes, which are actually a root vegetable from the root of sunflowers are amongst the best sources of dietary inulin. Thomas rarely makes errors like this, but I felt the need to point it out here, because if you're going to rely on artichokes to get your inulin, it's super important that you choose the right ones.

Psyllium, artichoke, bone broth, flax, and fermented foods. I picked up an Older slow cooker at a thrift store to constantly make bone broth. (The new ones shut off automatically after 9-12 hours. They are only good for meal preping.) I use bones ( about 6 drumsticks or 3 chicken feet.) I fill it with good water and add organic onion or garlic skins that I would otherwise compost. Any item I would compost, I add like: organic celery ends etc. Except mold I compost them directly. Then after I’ve used the rich bone broth for a week, I drain it and compost it. Thoroughly wash the slow cooker pot and start the whole process over. When I’m baking I add cup of rich bone broth to it. It tastes delicious. Then every night I drink one cup of the bone broth. As long as I do this, my nails are fine. If I stop for 2 weeks my nails will begin breaking and cracking. He’s right and it’s so easy and Cheap, the way I do it.

Here's a summary of the key points from the video on the best foods for gut health: Psyllium: Known for its beneficial effects on the gut microbiome, especially for those with gut dysfunction. Studies show it positively impacts microbiome health and increases beneficial bacteria like Villanella. Artichoke: Contains inulin and cenarin. Inulin supports the microbiome, while cenarin boosts bile secretion, aiding in fat digestion. Studies highlight its role in increasing beneficial bacteria and aiding in fat metabolism. Bone Broth: Rich in gelatin and glutamine, it helps reduce inflammation in the gut and strengthens the gut mucosal layer. Research shows its effectiveness in reducing colitis symptoms and improving gut barrier integrity. Flax: Provides both soluble and insoluble fiber. It's been shown to enhance microbiome diversity, improve insulin sensitivity, and support estrogen metabolism in the gut. Fermented Foods: Although not as effective as plant-based fibers in increasing short-chain fatty acid production, they significantly boost gut microbial diversity. This diversity is crucial for overall gut health. The video emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to gut health, including a variety of foods that support different aspects of gut function, from the microbiome to gut lining integrity.

The seeds soften so much they are easily ground by your teeth. That light grey salt is the only live one from Celtic. I'm using a table spoon or 2 several days a week. For heart attacks it was given a table spoon or 2 per hour, immediately.

Anyone have experience with Advanced Acacia Fiber? Psyllium does not set well with me, even with lots of water, even warm water or tea. I am struggling with Intermittent Fasting and just came off 6 days of OMAD. All the changes, back and forth, make a slow adjustment. I have just had too many antibiotics. Of note, I have just added prebiotics, after having to back off fresh veggies for awhile, now eating fresh veggies with greater ease. I still think I need help. I am getting ready to use the Acacia fiber to a Keto bread recipe, instead of Psyllium.

[@dtorr1840]

Great Thomas - Two questions: 1) Can psyllium be used every day? 2) Does psyllium prevent absorption of vitamins and supplements?

[@smustipher]

I have been a BIG fan of artichokes for over a decade...eat it in some form at least once a week.

[@nikkibaack-brooks6612]

RE: chronic diarrhea (SIBO/Pylori). Are psyllium husk, artichoke powder, and flax seed meal soluble fiber? If so, how much per day should I take? I think Thomas said about 7 grams of psyllium husk. I also drink homemade bone broth daily. Suggestions please. Thank you.

[@lawrenceharada430]

I also have chronic diarrhea from recurring SIBO infections. Psyllium is insoluble & speeds up my gut motility. Soluble fiber like Benefiber or Heather's Tummy fiber slows passage of food in my gut. I also drink bone broth w/ collegen for mucosal layer enhancement in my small intestines & eat fermented ( pickled) foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, pickled beets, cucumbers. I'm going to try baby artichoke hearts next & ground flaxseed .

From further research & experimentation, I've found that too much fermented foods all at once can be bloating. Begin using it & fiber supplements slowly & in increments.

Hi Samantha I have histamine intolerance as well. I went to see a Functional medicine doctor and she got me to do a gut test called co-biome. The doctor gave me pretty much the same protocol and I raised the question about bone broth and she said don’t boil it for all that long and it will be fine. She also asked me to take acidophilus and Raminosis. I’m starting to feel better already. I think we are definitely on the right track with this.

I've been hesitant to take psyllium fiber because I'm worried about it trapping my vitamins, supplements, and medications. I don't know if I read that somewhere or just dreamed it up myself but I know psyllium forms a sort of gelatin that sort of grabs stuff and pulls it through your system which is good as long as it's not partially digested medications and vitamins. Is this a real concern or just something my brain concocted?

I've tried and tried psyllium, but it doesn't work for me. I have read that acacia fiber is a good alternative, so I recently purchased it....haven't started consuming it. Is bone broth high in oxalates? If so, I suspect it's a good idea to consume calcium-based food with it? Or, does bone broth contain enough calcium to prevent an increase in oxalates?

Eating is becoming a arduous task. All these complications because of our food quality. If industrialization never took place and the farm to table system been left in place we would of been better off. I’m exhausted just trying to eat without concern of if the organic food they say is organic truly organic. Or if what they list in the ingredients are fact or did they intentionally leave something out. Let’s talk about bone broth.

Many stuff in the organic aisle is still sugary pasteurized crap. Wildly grown raw things may be better.

[@bensk8in467]

I researched bone broth many years ago and it was my understanding the great health benefits to the gut come from L-Glutamine which bone broth is said to be rich in because it’s in the marrow. L-glutamine primarily serves the body in muscle restoration and restoring of the intestinal lining. I also found l-glutamine can be diminished through heat though like many nutrients. This always gave me a conflicted sediment about bone broth because well it’s under heat for 12 hours plus. For this reason I just take pure L-glutamine. I have for years and believe it helped me greatly. It’s nothing a person can take too much of the body will just take what it needs. Just my feelings on drinking bone broth vs the vital amino itself.
