Re: Hi and My Story with CFS and probably AF
For me wih rice and chickpeas is the same as with other grains.
I can eat small amounts of rice like a few sushi pieces without problem.
As yourself, I wonder why on earth now we can't tolerate those things.
For me the common sypmthom after eating grains is feeling really dry inside and acidity. Also hunger caused by the acidity. If I keep eating grains I get constipation plus my digestion gets very slow.
So I tried while ago Enzimes with HCL plus Ox bile. Because my theory is that I lack some acid on my stomach and that makes me not able to digest grains. Plus it is somehow dehidrating (if that's a word dont think.so)
Other thing is I have not much saliba. Thirsdy and dry eyes.
So I tried those enzymes and they were actually good. I started having more saliba. It was amazing. So that is a good thing to try on..I had to stop because I discovered you can't take HCL while on HC. So another reason to ditch the HC.
I'm working on this right now and as soon as Im free of HC I will try again those enzymes.
I read a lot about low acid in the stomach and there is a strong link with many of the ilnesses that run in my family.
If someone want to try HCL make sure you are not on corticoids or have any ulcers.
