Generally speaking, customers being shocked when your product works isn't something most manufacturers would highlight

does the maple leaf work well? i used some 70shore rubber tubing to flat hop my hopups seems ok but need constant replacements.

I need to do some long range testing this week but it's meant to be good with the AA hop unit.

Order arrived from Bulk Powders. Trying some CBD oil for my IBS. Many egg whites and some drizzle for the protein pancakes.

even my kitchen is white

IBS is usually cured by drinking at least 3 litres of water per day and fibre (https://www.bulkpowders.co.uk/psyllium-husks-powder.html take 2 x 5g twice a day costs pennies too in comparison). I don't see what CBD can do it isn't even proven to do anything. In fact it's the reason why a lot of parents with kids that have awful conditions are smuggling in the good stuff "THC" illegally for them because that is the one known to actually do anything. Placebo = CBD

My died is already spot on, thanks (owed to my 16 years gym experience). IBS can be caused by stress as well. Since I've started taking CBD oil I've noticed a reduction in some of my IBS symptoms.

No. It's not. Infact as attested by my gut specialist fibre and excessive water consumption are terrible for it. Drinking excess water immediately leads to abdominal distension and severe cramps. Lots of fibre results in lots of poop. Not what you want when you're going 10+ times a day already.

In your circumstances I'd then get some intolerance tests and allergy tests done if not already.

Try cutting red meat, dairy, etc. One at a time and then two at a time to see what helps.

Many steps ahead. Slight dairy intolerance. Don't eat red meat.
Ironically worst 2 things I can eat are apples and lettuce.

What an idiotic thing to say.

robfosters · 25 Sep 2019 at 11:55

I didn’t think IBS could be cured as such, just managed.

My mum has it. It’s kicked off by eating certain spices like cumin and chilli.

how so the 2 most common things lacking in the modern diet is fibre - which is why prostate cancer is a big killer. and hardly anyone drinks the recommended amount of water

Yes but to say it cures it is simply false.

for the majority of people though it does.

for others they need to do intolerance and allergy testing. then remove those from diet.

More whisky purchases. My descent into alcoholism is in full swing. Cat immediately jumped into the box (a prior purchase) so I got him involved.

Martynt74 · 26 Sep 2019 at 10:33

@Nitefly That Cotswold Whisky looks pretty interesting.

How come you've bought 6 Glencairn glasses? Planning on having a few tasting sessions with friends?

I really need to stock back up. My stock is dwindling. I only have a few bottles left, and they're generally the ones i avoid as they're not the nicest!

Yeah I bought a couple of tasting trays (one is shown in part, being the wooden thing behind the glasses box) and a fun little water jug too. Just for when people come over and we can have a little bit of theatre / fun with it!

I am basically just buying anything that ‘malt review’ recommend. Cotswold was one of their whiskeys of the year. As was the green bottle, the Gael. The Gael is just brilliant - such a citrus / pinapple nose, curious! A firm favourite of mine. That’s actually the second bottle I’ve got, despite my first bottom being mostly full, because the thought of it running out and not having any more made me a sad panda.

I’ll give some commentary on the Cotswold in the whiskey thread once I’ve formed more of a view on the Cotswold

Martynt74 · 26 Sep 2019 at 10:52

Oooh a citrus type nose is pretty unusual.

Might pick that up, although at £80 i might hang on a while. Feel like i have huge costs going out daily at the moment!

Nice selection, I have tried the Cotswold single malt, very nice. Although I see you got the founders bottling, just saw the strength of 60.9%. I think it was the the lower strength bottling that got a lot of whisky of the year awards. Interested to see what you think of it, gets good reviews.

@Nitefly, that malt review website is very good, has tons of reviews with detailed info. Only issue is, visiting it will not be good for my wallet, and that JJ Corry is something I want to try now, and it was on offer the other week when you posted the link
