Getting a vegan GF also helped him to see the eating meat in evil light. The last comment of him I have read on Hyperlipid was about a new Plantpositive youtube video.

I've read Norm Robillard's book, too, and heed his warnings, but so far my self-experimentation has been OK. The trick is that I'm only using safe starches that are considered "resistant". <br /><br />I think the contentions that resistant starch, paired with probiotics, has the potential to heal your LARGE intestine has some merit. SIBO happens when the large intestine isn't in good shape, and gas and bacteria go into the small intestine where they don't belong (per Robillard). So if you can get the large intestine in good shape, that will help the small intestine, which in turn will reduce the gas pressure pushing stomach contents past the sphincter and into the esophagus (GERD). The theory behind resistant starch is that the resistant starch makes it to the large intestine where it feeds up the good bacteria and helps heal the gut lining by making better mucous cells. <br /><br />I'm successfully having potato starch daily (not up to the 30 grams, though), small servings of cooked, cooled, and then gently warmed rice and potato, rice pasta and wrappers WITHOUT increased GERD--in fact I think I'm having much less GERD/heartburn WITH these retrograded safe starches. <br /><br />Then again, when I eat freshly cooked rice, I pay for it. I'm learning to keep rice in the freezer, so when my family is eating fresh rice, I grab a bag of rice and a frozen cube of homemade bone broth to make my own rice serving. When I do that, no heartburn or reflux, blood glucose stays under 100--lower the next morning, and my Ketonix shows that I still am in some degree of ketosis. <br /><br />Everyone is different, so this may not work for you. I'm actually surprised it's working for me!
