Well, that alone would make me sick if I didn't have enough acid in my

stomach to digest it properly.

Your intestines probably liked the burning even less than your mouth did.

As a rule, all foods should be thoroughly chewed before swallowing to

increase the surface area so that stomach acid can work as efficiently as

possible - especially if you're taking acid blockers. If you can't chew

something effectively, you need to do something to reduce the particle size

before eating it.

I'm really wondering if the Pepcid is the culprit here. When

> Pepcid/etc turns off acid production in the stomach, what actually

I tried pepcid a few times years back when my doc insisted my occasional

heartburn was due to too high stomach acid. [i later found that my acid was

actually terribly low and that was what was causing me my issues (apparently

this is the case for a lot of people).] When I took pepcid back then,

nothing digested properly (as in, stuff came out whole on the other side -

terribly painful and usually resulted in SBBO and other gut infections).

Then again, nothing digested properly back then anyway - I always had food

rotting in my digestive tract but at least it wouldn't come out whole. This

was part of the reason why I started food combining/stomach layering in the

first place. Now I find as long as I get enough chloride (usually in the

form of salt), and I buy all my food fresh (garlic still in the skins, etc)

I no longer have those issues.

Perhaps the intestines aren't " designed " to deal with garlic?

Thee intestines are certainly not designed to deal with *anything* that

hasn't been properly decimated by the stomach. I feel inadequate stomach

acid is one of the first steps to gut problems, and IMHO the standard

practice of inhibiting stomach acid in people with stomach problems is

probably one of the worst mistakes conventional medicine has made in terms

of gut health.

Then again, it doesn't help that most people don't wait until their stomach

is empty before putting something else in it. Anytime you introduce food

into the stomach, you increase the PH - so if you never let your stomach

empty, it will never get back to that base PH. This link goes over

Last year when I had a bumper crop of garlic, I looked at

preservation methods for it, and found out it is very prone to going

bad in jars, I think botulism or something like that it said. My bet

is it was because the jar of garlic had gone bad on you.

too much garlic, gives me gas. I like garlic, but in moderation </HTML>

[Guest guest]

Sooooo what this means is that garlic is GOOD... right?

Very interesting, some pet owners swear by garlic as being good for

their pets health. Veterinarians and other petsy people who have not

heard the positives about garlic will buck the idea.

Crushed garlic given to shelties with dermatomyositis on a daily basis

... (along with apple cider vinegar) seem to have fewer or no flare-ups.

Garlic thins the blood right?

So does the very expensive medication that is recommended through

studies on DM through Texas A & M.

Garlic is fed to horses in the summer as fly control. Every spring there

is an email that goes around the internet every time someone suggests

garlic for horses during fly season. It seems there was a study done on

6 or 8 horses. They were fed extreme amounts of garlic powder. A couple

of horses died, resulting in the statement that garlic is bad for

horses. In actuality, a horse is supposed to be given about 2

tablespoons of a quality garlic powder per day.

I eat 2 cloves pickled garlic almost every day and I

have not had a cold for the past 5 years, FYI.

The good Lord gave us all the natural food on this

earth with a purpose, some are good and some are bad

for us. The key is " MODERATION WITH VARIETY " so that

you can obtain the necessary nutrients that your body

needs. Do you remember the news that a lady died of

drinking too much water earlier this year?

Unfortunately, most of us just like processed food

these days because it meets our desire, taste, and

greed as well as laziness in food preparation.

Speaking of water, I think 'six to eight glasses daily' is

ridiculous!

Well, we have to use our own judgment on the health

related information received regardless it is from the

Internet, from books, or from newspaper articles as

everyone's situation is " different and unique " . For

example, I have been trying to get down to 160 lbs on

my body weight for many years by following the

weight/height chart from insurance company. I finally

found out that my body weight is at 170 lbs and fairly

stable +/- a few pounds depending whether I am on a

diet or just eating average meal or even heavy meal.

Anyway, the body fluid intake should be around 6 to

8 glasses, mostly clean water, including soup and

juice but excluding coffee and beer during the day.

Caffeine and alcohol are poison to your body and your

body is trying to get rid of them - thus they are

diuretic. The best way to consume this amount of fluid

is to take 2 glasses after get off from bed in the

morning, 1 glass about 1/2 hr. before lunch, 1 glass

in the mid afternoon, and 1 glass about 1/2 hr. before

dinner and 1 glass in the evening time. This is

essentially important for those who have gout problem

on their joints and it has been verified by one of my

church brothers having the gout problem. DO NOT TAKE

more than 8 glasses per day as it will throw your

body's sodium content off balance and that creates

problem for you!

I am not that person but I can tell you. You can buy it in capsules at the

Healthfood store or sometimes if I can't get there and am out, I chop up some

fresh garlic and down it with water. It works very well.

garlic

to the person who wrote about garlic replacing antibiotics, how are

you taking the garlic? Do you eat the cloves or take a garlic supplement?

Thanks

We mostly cook with it! I buy chopped form in jar(in olive oil). We used to use

pill form for my husbands high blood pressure, he was able to stop medications

due to it. Pill form works for many things but not well for virus issues. It is

to proccessed for that. Allicin is the main ingredient for most of garlics

uses/antibiotic/natural enzyme use etc. It has to be eatin within minutes of

crushing. So adding the chopped form(whole garlic from garlic press would be the

most potent) to cooking minutes befor meal is done is best, then we chew and

this activates the allicin. Our favorite is fried potatos cooked in olive oil

and then I add in the last few minutes or so. Now if we are unfortunate to have

a flu/virus/bacteria strike(very rare) we well actually get the jar of chopped

garlic, crush it in bowl swallow and chase with a drink. Usually a couple of

teaspoons well do it. If the bug is bad we do this a couple of times that day

and feel no illness by the next day. If you

cant stand the thought/taste, you can take the crushed garlic and add to

pudding, whip creme etc and then swallow, just make sure you crush just befor

ingesting. Now that we use it regular for cooking we rarely need to do it that

way. My youngest/disabled child cant chew. So he is on pureed. I prepare his

food, crush the garlic and mix with a spoonful of his pureed food and he just

swallows. My son used to be cronicly ill and now recovers better than any kid in

school. My oldest son well actually just take about a tablespoon and chew the

stuff. He used to have cronic sore throats(befor we discovered the miracle of

garlic) and they wanted to pull his tonsils. He no longer has that problem. This

has been so much better for our family. 10 days of antibiotics that is going to

destroy the immune in the long run and damage the gi or 1 day of not that great

of tasting garlic or just cook and enjoy the food! I hope this helps. There are

so many ways to cook and even bake with

seasoned garlic(the whole clove). Jennie<><

This is so true. I had the worst sore throat and had been giving my

son garlic so I crushed some before bed, drank a glass of orange

juice and the next morning I woke up and my throat was fine. I

couldn't believe it!!!

I know what I am having for dinner tonight. Elephant Garlic served with goat

cheese, finely

chopped red onions, relish and capers. YUM.

I heard it keeps mosquitoes away from you as well. Tomorrow, NO ONE will want

to be near

me!
