An additional exciting part of this recipe is that it's possible to make it from shelf stable ingredients while in bed

I would not recommend eating it for every meal though because I'm pretty sure the fartichoke powers of inulin will wreck you

After a lot of experimentation, I'm happy to share my no cook inulin pudding formula

I've included some info on sourcing ingredients if you're dealing with MCAS or other food intolerances, and it is very substitution friendly

Wow. The Tor Project is doing the whole "#web3 #crypto funding" drive in 2023. 2023. As if that was a normal thing that did not totally taint your reputation.

There's a lot of conflicting information about "histamine liberators" and MCAS

what do researchers actually know about them?

please enjoy an deep dive into the research (with a tl;dr at the end)

also technically this should say "microbes use histamine to communicate with our immune system" but uhhh I think mast cells are probably involved in that (I just don't have a specific study to point to)

if you've been following me for awhile elsewhere on the internet, you probably saw a bunch of chaotic muppet-flailing threads I wrote about the gut microbiome

I finally managed to cobble together enough executive functions to write a blog post overview

anyway, I think the whole "microbes use histamine to communicate with our mast cells" thing is my favorite part

(and raises very intriguing questions about MCAS and the microbiome)

just thought I'd share this handy table of microbial strains that can impact neurotransmitters

NB, some of them are literally pathogens (but some are handy lil gut microbiome buddies)
