--Brix readings--

Hi Dozier,

Your post: To be more specific about the foods and their readings, I live in Virginia and shop at a local organic-only grocery shop specializing in locally grown organic food products from farms in Virginia and Maryland. They do have non-local and non-seasonal foods available as well, but I choose to eat (as best I can) what is local and in season, occasionally sneaking in some dates or figs (organic California with no additives/preservatives). I have been pleasantly surprised by the readings I've gotten from many of the fruits there, especially compared to what had previously been available to me living in New England.

Lately, pears have had consistently fuzzy readings in the 12-14 range, especially green d'anjou pears at the 14 mark. Apple readings have not been quite as fuzzy, but fujis, pink ladies, and honey crisps have all been in the 14-18 range. Red bell peppers have been fuzzy around 9 with good readings on yellows and oranges, too. Green peppers have had lower readings and I have not had as much success with green veggies in general around here, but maybe that's my fault with the testing procedure. I discard or simply don't purchase anything I get low readings with.

For my other foods- Raw nuts. Dairy/beef supply (beef, raw milk, buttermilk, raw cream, raw cheese) is fresh and raw direct from Pennsylvania Amish farmer - pastured cattle only, can't imagine a practical source of higher quality dairy/beef than my farmer's. Also use wild Alaskan caught salmon. Fruits/veggies are primary source of sustenance, limited protein intake. "Supplement" with BSM, ACV, kelp, and raw honey. Walk 4-6 miles daily and lift two or three per week (short dynamic workouts). I've never felt better inside and out, feel fantastic all the time, just can't figure out the gut issue. No over-eating, no bad food combos, etc.

Again, despite the alarming appearance of my bloated gut, it's never been particularly uncomfortable, and it's a rare occasion for me to have any farting or burping or any apparent digestive issues for that matter (other than, of course, my giant pregnant belly).

Answer: Those Brix readings are Better than avg., I will have to agree.

This does not mean that "ALL" of what you are eating is this Good, unless you are checking every Fruit you eat?

And I have found that when any fruit has been picked Green and shipped, that many times it may contain NPN, which may Cause problems with Bloating?

The suggestion that Grz has mentioned below in his post of taking some ACV with or before the meal may help, and you may need to adjust accordingly?

For the problem is still Poor Digestion, for some Reason what you are choosing to eat is not agreeing with your Digestive system?

Smile Tis your choice.
