In trying to figure out WHY this shit is working for me, I googled that word Terrahydrite and found this page (I've been here before btw!). <br />Actually just wanted to add that this is actually helping me too, and I've had my leaky gut/dysbiosis problem for about 4 years now.<br />https://www.omicsonline.org/open-access/protection-against-glutenmediated-tight-junction-injury-with-a-novellignite-extract-supplement-2155-9600-1000547.php?aid=78597<br /><br />Might explain some more on it. <br />You're speaking the truth. It's essentially dirt water. Tastes like it too, lol. But it fucking works man. Even after taking all kinds of collagen/broth/l-glutamine/intestinew (which worked to a point but is suuuper expensive). <br />I'm still in shock actually. Never thought I was going to fix my issue. <br />BUT EH, DIRT WATER works.<br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603082601405812604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-84878852203108023822016-12-07T00:03:54.375-09:002016-12-07T00:03:54.375-09:00Just had to let you know - I use Restore4life dail...Just had to let you know - I use Restore4life daily and it does help my gut. But the most astonishing about it is that I noticed a decreasing need for my Thyroid medication. From taking 175mg per day I am now completely off them. I can attribute this to nothing else but Restore4life, as this was the single lifestyle change I made a year ago.

According to <i>her</i>, all fiber, even man-made fiber and all forms of RS are healthy except for RPS. Here's a blog I did looking at some of <i>her</i> criticisms: https://vegetablepharm.blogspot.com/2016/05/rs2-part-twoyep-still-in-love-rs4-not.html Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-80869510085344693692016-08-26T14:41:23.871-08:002016-08-26T14:41:23.871-08:00Thank you for your reply Wilbur, this gives me som...Thank you for your reply Wilbur, this gives me some confidence in trying out some raw potato starch! :)<br /><br />You actually read my mind rather than my post, I meant to say RPS (raw potato starch) but accidentally wrote RS, so the reply perfectly answered my concerns. :)<br /><br />My gut has been severely starved of bacteria due to having had some antibiotic for pneumonia when I was 13, it caused me IBS-C, since then I had to use a crazy amount of laxatives (magnesium based macrogol) for 6 years giving me liquid stool. At the time I didn't know better, but I think I have been literally wiping out my whole gut flora for 6 years in a row. I finally managed to get rid of this constipation a few months ago by taking 1 liter milk kefir for a few days. I still suffer from very low energy and hope that prebiotics can revive my gut and my body!<br /><br />,Yannel<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-57341691251978905452016-08-26T08:45:15.782-08:002016-08-26T08:45:15.782-08:00I misread your post and didn't realize you ask...I misread your post and didn't realize you asked about RS. I also use bana flour and eat RS foods. I love potatoes and beans and stuff. So my RS levels are really high. <br /><br />I also do not count calories or restrict what I eat. I eat anything I want.

By January I'd lost over 40 lbs. to reach my ideal weight. My weight has varied little since. I lost insulin resistance and a whole bunch of autoimmune issues. <br /><br />There's a backstory to her post that, as I understand things, makes it questionable. IMO, it is a great disservice. <br /><br />I understand your fear. I was fearful when I started. It's seems that for nearly everything there's somebody saying its harmful. In many cases, these people have a concealed agenda. <br /><br />I'm a fan of RPS. My gut sends me signals about what it likes as food. RPS is the most important of all of my supplemental fibers according to my gut. <br /><br />Wilburnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-29360748484072810682016-08-26T07:46:16.936-08:002016-08-26T07:46:16.936-08:00Wilbur, I am wondering for how long have you been ...Wilbur, I am wondering for how long have you been taking these huge amounts of RS?<br />I am considering starting to slowly use prebiotics including RS, but am afraid to start RS after reading this: http://drbganimalpharm.blogspot.nl/2014/12/high-dose-potato-starch-can-make-you_22.html<br /><br />,YannelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-2667867781920343002016-08-25T18:04:35.295-08:002016-08-25T18:04:35.295-08:00Right after my Syontix person went out of business...Right after my Syontix person went out of business, someone mentioned the Swanson product had a similar container and so it might also be HP.

That said, I've experimented enough to know that some powders go best first (RPS, inulin, phgg, larch, GOS) and then others should go after baobab (banana flour, amla, flax, chia, long chain Inulin, glucomannan, and a bunch more). The baobab floats and keeps the other powders dry until one mixes them. This prevents clumping.
