    In terms of fat and sugar, how high is "high?"

    I often have this same question. It is easy for people to say cut out sugar alltogether, but that is not ok for all the time. I would like to modify how much sugar I take in on a daily/weekly basis. but how much is too much sugar? What is considered too high?

    We will use a 45% fat (all saturated), 40% sucrose, 15% protein diet and that does a good job of causing metabolic problems.

    SO interesting! This post was informative and your answers to other posters were likewise thoughtful, informative, and research-based. I'd like to dream that in another life I'd do research that involves biology and nutrition.

    Thank you, too, for validating my obsession with goats' milk yogurt, ableit indirectly, haha. <3

    Thank you for the lovely compliment! :)

    Sure thing! I'll work on that today. Takes a little bit more time when there's a lot of biochem and such involved. :)

    You mention quite frequently the capsules you take. Can you share what that is songbryd? I wouldn't have any idea where to start looking for this type of pill. Or I guess could you give some examples of brands out there we may now of?

    You might add that over-use of antibiotics can also kill the 'good' bacteria in your body and cause a lot of harm. Should only use as absolutely necessary and as low 'strength' as possible.
    You are so right! I get so many patients from the hospital who have destroyed their good bacteria by taking so many antibiotics. The result is a nasty intestinal infection that is frighteningly contagious!

    Also, NSAIDS (painkillers) can do a number on your gut and make it quite leaky.

    Can you expand on this a little?
    How much is bad?
    (like 1 Naproxen or 2 Ibuprofen per day?)

    And I guess the answer/treatment to this is ... soluble fiber and probiotics!

    Thanks for a really interesting thread and all your consciencious replies.

    Wow, this is really interesting. I have often gone through phases of taking probiotics - often after a brush with antibiotics but haven't really ever got round to taking them long term. If it helps weight loss (amongst other things!) then it's surely worth a go!

    I eat oat porridge every day - not sure if this would count as enough soluble fibre or not! But I definitely need to cut down on the sugar in my diet - have cut down quite a bit but just love my carbs and cakes!

    I think I should also put my kids on a probiotic, want to ensure they're as healthy as poss. Esp my daughter who is very picky and has a very limited diet.

    apparently I bought the wrong thing.... Went to Target and found fiber gummy supplements with carbs, dietary fiber and soluble fiber. What exactly should I be I be looking for to purchase probiotics.

    Do you know anything about "fecal transplants" done in order to introduce new bacteria into the colon for IBS patients? I recall reading a study about this. At first it was shocking, but also very interesting.

    Or in other words.. has anything like this been part of your research?
