What does that have to do with medicine?

Apologies. Presumably those thousands of clinics etc in the search results "posit that palm reading is legitimate medicine". I had to guess what your question meant exactly - as is, it's not grammatical english, and is ambiguous in at least two ways. I should've asked you to clarify instead, or just not tried to answer.

Not really, they're more astrology based, not medicine, and no one is claiming astrology is factual in this thread. Also, they're clinics, not a source of any kind which is what was asked for.
Tim Spector seems like a good source on this stuff, I listened to some podcasts of his and he's doing some work here in the UK with Zoe, where they test you and figure out a nuturion plan for you based on your gut bacteria and what is best for you personally.
I can’t find his podcasts. What’s the title?
But the podcast I watched, was here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66hWntvp0_4
In the last three years, something related to my gut-brain connection got fucked. I'm not sure if it was some kind of post-viral inflammation causing stress, or stress of isolation causing inflammation. But it's definitely a two way street and mine got completely stuck in a feedback loop. The mainstream medical system failed to help me. Eventually some functional medicine doctors managed to help me improve via diet,…
Hmm.. same/similar. Maybe I should go outside the western playbook a little further. Thanks. An episode of extreme stress during the pandemic has left me with IBS-C. Apologize for TMI. Before: I ate anything, whenever, in whatever quantity body requested and was consistent 2-3x/day. Now: my body just does not pass stool on its own anymore and I require a prescription for Linzess (highest dosage). Without it, I will b…
Thanks for sharing! Here comes mine.
> pass rock hard stool once every 3ish days.
I go once every 3 days, sometimes even 4, without any drama. I quite like the schedule and think it saves me a lot of time. I believe what makes it work is that I drink ~1.5 liters of tea every day, on top of the water I get from one meal per day plus some snacks here and there.
I used to be constantly bloated and extremely gassy. But no longer since I stopped going to restaurants and started eating home-cooked meals made from fresh ingredients. Turns out my stomach is just allergic to crappy ingredients restaurants like to put into our food.
I take zero medication.
Hope you find your way soon to better gut health!

I'm sorry, but a probiotic that only lists the ingredients as "lactic acid bacteria"? For all you know this could be the equivalent of buying some Danone Activia. It also has "lactic acid bacteria". I want at least the name of each of the bacteria. Even better would be exact substrains. But if it doesn't tell me whether the main ingredient is a strain that produces histamine (bad for me personally - lots of headaches…
I don’t know if this answers what you were trying to find, but the probiotic in question is pretty heavily studied….there are even many papers discussing histamine levels I haven’t had it and can’t vouch for it but it’s not exactly some random probiotic. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=vsl+...
In case anyone is interested, link #3 finally has a list of what's allegedly in there without having to pay to read the 'study':
Four strains of Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subspecies bulgaricus), three strains of Bifidobacterium (Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, and Bifidobacterium infantis), and one strain of Streptococcus (Streptococcus salivarius subspecies thermophilus).
Mine's got:
Sachharomyces Boulardii, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus Subtilis, Lactobacillus lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactorbacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus acidophilos, Bifidobacterium brevis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus paracasei
I'm sure there's a study I can pay for that tells me what's in those, because they don't print it on the package either...
