Ours is just as bad here in Canaduh if you buy S.A.D., (Standard American Diet). If it comes in a box you're probably better off eating the box. I have diverticular pockets in my guts and possibly IBS but since taking good probiotics I got at Costco things have been really good down there. Cheap too and way better than the ones I got at the drug store. Jamieson brand with 14 different cultures compared to 4 from the drug store and 130 caps just one-a-day instead of 3/day of the others.
Wife has the same issue and for a decade at least the doctors have been useless to figure anything out. Beef is a big no-no but game is fine or even some of the grass fed beef we got from the neighbours is OK too. F'n sick of chicken and pork and hate pig farm pork. Even the coyotes and crows won't eat a carcass from one of those disgusting places. I used to deliver propane to a few of them and needed SCBA to get on the sites without puking.
Almost everything we eat is made at home from scratch. McPukes, Dairy Queen etc a no-go ever. High fructose corn syrup is in damn near everything these days so a lot of stuff I used to love is off the menu. It's labelled as Glucose-fructose here so hidden from the uneducated but shows in their butts. I think quitting the booze a year ago the end of this month has helped my guts too. Sure has helped my mental state.
Been getting a lot of whitetails hanging around so time to clean out the spare freezer and start filling it with venison methinks. Wish there was decent fish to be caught like back in BC where I'd fill a small chest freezer with coho salmon, (silvers in the states), every fall for the price of a fishing license and gas to drive the half hour to the river.
Sad to hear about all the grow shops and pot growers shutting down. The store I'm going to next week in the city is likely to close soon he tells me. The more established one there will likely survive but they ripped off a buddy of mine that worked there so I'm not supporting them.
I guess gaining 'legality' is a two-edged sword.
