Painful Food

[Kimmio Laughterlove]

The explanation is probably that I drink ale, not lager, and that might explain that I don't understand the taste difference you identify.

I drink pale ale occasionally. It's similar to lager. The only major differences I notice between beers are the differences between the dark Guinness like beers - dark ales, most light coloured beers, and the skunky stuff. There are Amber ales and wheat beer and others - chocolate stout is yummy - but between the beers of a light golden yellow shade, couldn't tell if I were blindfolded between a pale ale, lager, or pilsner except for a few of the European ones

What food do you eat, that you pay a consequence for....

So when I was on other meds, I seemed to pay for food a lot. Now my body is much more tolerant in the GI tract

I feel for those for whom such is a chronic condition

I have a cousin in England with "GI issues". He loves his beer, and he likes the hoppy ones that I do. But they don't like him so much.

Oh, dear goddes, he suffers when he strays from the less hoppy. And if we're in a boat, well, good thing it's got windows, eh?

There are quite a few foods that can affect me, but it varies so much just depending on what's going on at the time.
With my eczmea I had tried to really limit garlic and onions, but it was hard with prepared foods to eliminate altogether, especially with being sick.

Now I'm just more aware of raw (and we haven't chopped onions in the house for a long time, don't miss that). My eye eczema is flared up a little bit, but I also wasn't doing phototherapy all last week due to their vacation. I did forget, Chemguy made pesto with garlic scapes on the deck, that was probably a bit of a factor as I did go from fine to irritated eyelids overnight. I'll put that in the category of worth it as they flare even without. If I could go with eczema free skin totally just by skipping it I would.

Why do you think that would give me headaches?

Such proteins act quite differently in individuals ... such is true for all pharmaceuticals ... for instance one individual may be rendered groggy by a drug that makes another sensitized and stimulated!

I often have trouble getting this across to medical authorities that expect everyone to have similar responses to their treatments.

With me it is epinephrine derivatives ... often found in various extracts of trees ... similar to eucalyptus or terpenes. Thes also have biocidal effects that may be extreme in some humans ... and not so much in others!

Now one of the strangest sensitivities is overlooked because of economic factors. Western beers are often based on corn sugar .... while grain beers (of all varieties of grain) are fermentations of maltose (primarily). The difference is glucose/dextrose structures that are steroidal in nature. How the body deals with them is significant. One is degraded in the blood by insulin, while the other is dealt with in the liver with considerable complications in the entire spectrum of energy creation in the body ... with fatty liver syndrome as downer!

Many would rather not know such Nus ... thus nuis*ances ... trumps all!

In some chemistry it is the difference between cellulose (acrylates) and hemicellulose (a material of far greater complexity ... like the difference between sucrose and molasses! The latter has greater nutritional potentials ... especially blackstrap! Imagine dark beers ... and colorones ... nutrients in highly coloured fruits and vegetables.

All of these nutrients become toxic at some level ... varying with the individuals matriarchal genetics ... mitochondrial stuff that is far more variable than core genetic material. It is an interesting study if you like alchemi ... and can relate to it!

Eucalyptus, who would have thought? My SIL discovered on a tourist-y type trip in Mexico last year (she winters there) that she is hugely and anaphylactily allergic to eucalyptus.

It happens ... and guess what the most common exposure to it is ... a cold treatment ointment! Then there is a variation of chlorophenol that drive me up the wall ... in yet another cold treatment ... I won't name them for fear of being accused of commercialization ...

I actually have a topical allergy to aloe. I found out the last couple of times I used aloe gel - the kind with few preservatives. The patch of skin I applied it to got very irritated and you could see the outline of where it was applied. Lotions that say they have aloe (perhaps a tiny bit) don't do that - not that I've noticed yet - but I still avoid them if aloe is the feature ingredient.

You can buy aloe vera juice drinks - I wouldn't risk trying one.

 

[BetteTheRed]

And both aloe and eucalyptus are so helpful for those not sensitive.

Godde knows what I'm sensitive to. Right now, my elbows are spectacularly painful...

My wife is allergic to salicylates .. base of one of the most common painkiller- anti irritants ... puts her in a bind!

It is said we are wonderfully and individually made ... autonomously fated to conglomerate? Thus abstract conjunctions ... poo'lie understood?

Aspirin doesn’t agree with my stomach - nor does ibuprofen unless very minimal (I broke one in half and took it with a Tylenol yesterday for a bad headache - it would work on its own for the headache but my digestive system doesn’t like it) - topical creams are okay.

I don't think warning people about them is commercialization. More like consumer education.

One thing I am thankful for is that my stomach can tolerate Ibuprofen. There's times when I need the anti-inflammatory effect,. both for headaches and arthritis flareups, and Tylenol doesn't have it.
