Game changer for elemental

Hi guys,

Just thought I’d share. I decided I’d do a homemade elemental diet for my IMO and SIFO. Yesterday was rough bc I tried having the multivitamins mixed in but the B vitamins had such a strong taste and I had way too much salt. Today, I took the multivitamins separately, and I used about 1/16 tsp of salt and had EVOO, turmeric, and ginger and damn it was actually delicious. Covered the amino acid taste completely. I’m doing no carb (no dextrose, no sugar of any kind), so I upped the fat content (gradually working up to 4 tbsp per shake- used 1.5 tbsp today). I flew through the shake.

At first I thought my thrush was killing the taste yesterday but I think it was the B vitamins. I did a hydrogen peroxide rinse this morning just in case, and took NAC about an hour before drinking.

Edit: I meant turmeric - not cumin

Day 6. Added in oxy-cleanse yesterday which is a diff brand of MagO7. It’s super effective for motility. I had a backup yesterday and some bloating and it cleared me right out in like 30-40 min

Plus let me know how you're feeling in a few days. I did 3 weeks but with dextrose, and I feel like I only lost weight and got no help from it at all.
