Never had kale before, but remove stems, cut leaves into 1” +/- pieces, roast with bit of olive oil, wait for it-and a pinch of kosher salt. Adds variety and taste to meals that start to get boring.
Roasted chicken of any kind with herbs is great, make gravy with rice flour…works pretty good!
Make broth or soup with any leftovers of the last ideas mixed together. Don’t forget to put the chicken In cheese cloth to keep bones out of the broth/soup.
Sounds like may have Mast Cell Activation syndrome like me. Most or all of protocols are plant based but they all made me worse. I decided to flip it 180 and went on carnivore and got well after a long 8 months of ill Ed’s after last booster COVID I’ve tried to add back some veg and carbs. No dice. I have another flare. I am and need to stay strictly carnivore because I am sick of being sick! I’m in ! Good luck!
Sorry, don’t mix salad in with the soup…😂
I'm glad those posting are citing getting onto & trying the FODMap diet for several weeks. It can be amazing what you find is exacerbating your gastric symptoms (with the idea being that some foods you love but slim note can be reintroduced - even if occasionally - if you find they're not problematic). That said, YES - make sure you get & take the full 3-hr SIBO test (preferably with the glucose base) to test for the gut bacteria (which will check for methane & hydrogen gas readings in you stomach & upper small intestine, the presence of which strongly suggests a gut bacteria, which can slow to digestive motility & thus grow the bacteria which creates the gas, be it belching or passing). And if you ave high methane levels like I do, consider getting your doctor to prescribe antibiotic combo, e.g. neomycin (500 mg 3x daily) & rafaximin (550 mg 3x daily). Just make sure you're also taking a GOOD probiotic/postbiotic during that time to renourish 7 keep the good bacteria in your gut. If you're in touch with a Naturopathic doc, ask about combining THAT with the Thaenabiotic therapy; it's getting studied a lot with some impressive results. Only certain health providers do it, though Flora Medicine (based in Oregon; check out their website; pretty impressive).
QUESTION - My worse symptoms are built up gas after even a early meal (I can eat no later than around 3 pm & I'm vegan), which due to stomach pulsing & headache will NOT let me sleep the the night. The only thing that seems to partially work is a glass of charcoal/water mixture, sit down (I cannot lay down until it literally passes whatever's in my stomach area) & massage my stomach area. Anyone got any better ideas than the charcoal?
can you suggest some good brands of probiotics and prebiotics?

Hi I’ve done the low Fodmap Diet it is good for a short term figuring out what you should and shouldn’t eat. Talking with a nutrition expert really helped to. It takes a while to start working.
I found garlic and onion and beans were triggers, I also gave up gluten and dairy. I am slowly starting to add a few things back in my diet. Hope this helps!! Good luck on your journey🤗
Ps, Make sure your pics have the ingredients/pre/pro label info on it
Also learned about other things that I’ve never tried-roast on a sheet pan, tiny potatoes with microwaveable carrots, light coating of olive oil, and yes, a sprinkling of kosher salt.
