If I track the salt, a lot of the salt I need comes already from various types of yoggurts (like ayran, or light cheeses and meat), if you actually track it and scan the barcodes of what you eat, you will find out there's already enough to add more. I was eating spicy food and it irritated my intestines. I have enough fibers to never get constipated.
How do you make sure you’re getting enough iodine?
> Yes, if you are currently young, you face higher CRC risk than previous generations did when they were young. That’s the bad news. Unlike the usual Bettridge's law, the answer to the headline is only a qualified "No". It is a "So is all other cancers!", which is pretty bad news for folks who are young and healthy right now.

I think it is, I think it is also linked to diet. Learn to cook, avoid processed food, eat out less.
A lot of posts urging people to get colonoscopies. But general anesthesia also carries risks. How should one weigh the risk vs benefit?

Having had three colonoscopies so far, my system for prep is to change what I eat at least the week before. Jello, ice pops. . . generally light stuff. At some point before I start drinking the beverage from hell, I get butt cream. Smear it on and then drink. Keeping a layer of diaper rash ointment on the tush helps a LOT. I suggested to the pharmacists at my local pharmacy they should recommend butt cream when someo…
+1 on low fiber diet 5-7 days before. And although I didn’t try the diaper rash cream, Balneol was definitely a life saver.
Seeing young adults around me going through this made me change my dietary habits 1 year ago. I went to the extreme by modern food industry standards, but now: - I take 100g proteins, 30g fibers daily - Red meat once a week but never fried - Most of the protein comes from eggs, yoggurt, chicken and various plant based sources - No white bread - No added sugars, no deserts except fruits - Nothing fried - No added salt…
Mayonnaise is just oil, egg, and some vinegar, salt, and mustard. All of those things you have in your new diet so you lost me on why you wouldn’t eat it.

Curious, why no canned goods? I recently added smoked canned oysters to my diet due to high zinc, protein and heme iron. I struggle to assume iron because green leaf veggies (which I like) irritate my stomach, so I often end up in the washroom. With the oysters I am finally getting iron. But of course I don't want to mess up. I roughly eat like you do

I think the hard part for me about doing something like that is not forgoing those things, it's figuring out what to eat instead. Any tips?
The simple answer is plants. Lots of fruits and vegetables, and pulses (beans, legumes, etc) for protein.

I didn't actually mind the prepping too much personally. Just to be safe I started early to go on the long end of what they suggested with the diet and basically just ate baked, unseasoned chicken for 10 days. Then did the bowel prep; a lot of people hate the drink, but idk. I thought it was fine. Maybe better to assume it will suck though, that way you at least can't be disappointed. > In the end they nothing was fo…
> a lot of people hate the drink, but idk. I thought it was fine. Aren’t there a lot of different drinks, though (at least 3 or 4)? E.g. I know Miralax can be an option for some which practically is tasteless.
