Cross Cultural Foods That You Find Help Even The Worst Digestion?

I can have no grains, almost no starches, and have been avoiding the most sugary fruit for the past weeks until my inflammation goes down. Also no goitrogenic foods. So as you can see my digestion really BLOWS!! and it helps to find things that go down well. Looking how other cultures do it is very useful, because they often work with their food more than we do and actually alter the whole chemistry sometimes.

Even though grains cause me a lot of trouble, I saw that the Chinese/Japanese pound a certain rice into a paste called mochi that is not just a treat but something indicated for old hags and people in "weakened" conditions. All the starches are broken down into glucose from pounding or specialized machines. The other day I decided to try one (always needing carbs. Anything with too many always causes trouble) and it worked! It went down okay and didn't cause inflammation or anything.

Another thing that seems to be bringing my inflammation down some is Natto, which are disgusting rotten soybeans that taste like old people. But they are really healthy, and the rottenness helps make the soybeans tolerable in the GI while also deactivating the estrogen activity that is bad for men (need a source for this).

Most Asian things that are imported are poor quality though, and you really have to be careful what you're buying. So far this daifuku (mochi with paste inside) and a gluten free natto are all I've found:

Hopefully some good info comes in, because it's really hard to get enough energy when even a simple banana or apple seems to give me a reaction. Kefir and even dairy free Kefir (from So Delicious, b/c of carranegnean) give me problems so having these bacterial enzymes with every meal seems out of the question. Getting somewhat drunk on rum & whiskey seem to actually make me more energetic the next day so maybe looking into mead & moonshine might be worthwhile. Other than that I'm kind of lost when it comes to carbs aside from the obligatory squash, some berries, and very little honey.

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.

      The positive DQ2 result is important since it suggests a genetic predisposition to celiac, but the bloodwork not showing clear signs is confusing. The inflammation in her stomach could still be related, and it’s worth pushing for more tests, like a biopsy or a deeper look at other possible causes. It’s a tough spot, but you’re on the right track trying to get clarity.

      I totally agree, it’s so much more than just the physical struggle that occurs, there is the emotional struggle that goes along with it. It’s almost like you’re always navigating people who are uncomfortable with your needs and that pressure really wears you down. The fact is, the one that really did care will understand. This has nothing to do with you being a burden, it’s about protecting your health, first and foremost. If they don’t like being honest, that’s their problem.

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and...
