What they are offering is actually very simple, and systematic.

While the list of foods containing fodmaps has changed a lot lately, there are several sources that are up to date. University of Michigan has a lot of reliable resources.

The system is described in full here: http://www.myginutrition.com/diet.html (U of M)

They also have a pinterest that has tons of ideas and specific brands they've tested... Which is here: https://www.pinterest.com/UMGIdietitians/

Full list of foods here: http://www.myginutrition.com/downloads/Low_FODMAP_foods.pdf

The warning my dietitian has given me, is that many of the websites out there are using out of date information pertaining to foods; and that I should only trust their lists.

I take prescription stimulants for APD, audio processing disorder; whatever that actually is.. For me, I have difficulty hearing people talk and focusing when exposed to multiple or dynamic background noises.. Basically it's a failure of autonomous filtering or prioritizing of sounds.

I was on Belle Isle last year, two times, which is a few hundred meters from Windsor, and the sound was extremely soothing for whatever reason.. I spent days on end thinking and reaearching. I finally attributed the sound to some sort of tunnel boring machinery. There are a handful of salt mines in windsor, which i discovered after seeing more than the two tunnels I was aware of, between Detroit and Windsor, in the river, on Google Earth.

I am in the habit of identifying every sound that I am exposed to consistently, which I noticed when I bought a new house. After moving I diligently inspected my HVAC system, computer fans, appliances, which neighbors parked where, and how hard they slammed their doors, etc. Not only do I identify every sound, but I also actively recognize and consider every combination of sounds.(neighbor1.carDoorSlam sounds different when my furnace is on, or furnace+fridge compressor, for example.) Once I know for certain what a sound is, I can identify it immediately, and continue with my current activity knowing that it was just some irrelevant, petty routine happening.

I can't imagine enduring a sound like that for long, while knowing I am unable to identify it; I was able to convince myself that it was due to tunnel boring; but I seldom am reminded of the sound and never disturbed by it, since I don't live in the area..

trowway21 | 8 years ago | on: Michio Kaku: These Are the Two Paths Humanity Could Take in the Next Century

You must be mistaking Kaku for someone else... Kaku is concerned that dishonest people attempt to control masses using people like Tyson. He describes two different worlds yes, but rather one where a big government controls thought with propaganda and by manipulating science, vs one which does not attempt to do so. Kaku discusses implications of such manipulations and explorers parallels to history, while DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye are simply tools used to carry out those manipulations, for money. One has been driven to obscurity by the mainstream media, the other bathes in it's wealth.

Make a browser extension that works across all browsers to sync user data. Then inform consumers. Consumers then easily switch to better independent browser builds, forcing media holders' hands. If consumers have no desire or ability to become aware, and can't muster the will to delay gratification for a few days it's hopeless. Consumer awareness must be the end goal; rather than establishing a smaller subset of aware representatives to tell the media holders the consumers care. The media distribution channels own the media right holders. They control the flow of $ completely. Six corporations have complete control. Same corporations choose which of the infinite security flaws to discuss on the news, and effectively dictate the browsers and consumption methods/endpoints people use. No solution will acomplish the result of total consumer awareness, for any period of time, without first achieving consumer awareness.

Lol. So back crypto $ with trillions of $ of debt going back to the Louisiana purchase; kept alive by a pyramid scheme dependant on a certain and limitless supply of debt free immigrants, after they continue to prove they don't require anything concrete to generate demand & subsequently value?

Aka: how interested are people in a cryptocurrency worth market value minus 20 trillion $?

trowway21 | 8 years ago | on: A Man Who Made the Mistake of Trying to Help Wikileaks

The FBI has still not been given access to the server... Comey just testified to that fact last week. They were stonewalled. They went to crowdstrike instead, eventually, who retracted the the only actual evidence which supported their claims just recently. Crowdstrike retracted upon the internet discovering the relevant dns records were most likely spoofed. Dare you to not refuse to read through this.... https://weaponizedautism.wordpress.com/2017/04/09/trump-dns-...
