I believe in cheese!  One of my kids is mostly made of cheese and has zero cavities.   Of course, with a heavy French family tree we may have an ancestral need, LOL.

I think I will try your idea of more fats to help with dry eye.

Yeah I have always loved cheese. I would eat it as a snack pretty consistently throughout my life. And of course I was raised on pizza and mac n cheese. I don't crave those things anymore though. I think melted cheese is like glue. Much better on the digestive system un-melted. 

Do you still do quite a bit of dairy fat? I noticed ice cream didn't help my dry eye much, so I'm not 100% positive it is all fat in general that helps. But at least not trying to be so low fat has helped.

When I first started having skin issues beyond eczema and urushiol 43 years ago, I starting getting welts/boils/giant zits similar to what @griffin describes on his big cysts.  Got married and drove to Upper Peninsula, Michigan for honeymoon.  Broken down Mustang and not much money.  Bought big loaf of whole wheat and a 2# chunk of Swiss cheese at local yup market.  Ate that for two days.  Golf ball size zits took 3 or 4 days to form.  Started out like pea sized painful knobs coming up from deep skin.  Huge relief when they opened and drained.  Took me another 8 years before I connected food with symptoms at all.

So the forum seems safer now that some bad actors aren't around. I am doing pretty good. It has been the hardest last several weeks though emotionally. I ended up drinking coke for a few days as that is one of my weaknesses, I have always loved soda. By the last day I had a hypomanic episode acting like an addict. I won't go in to details here as it's very private, but I did literally feel like an addict. I ended up processing a major trauma that day. It's not completely healed but I think I am on the right path.  

Period this month started very heavy again. But all of sudden by the end of the second day it lightened up almost to stopping by the 4th day. I kinda freaked out about it again. I was thinking maybe I'm vitamin K deficient as I had a bruise pop up too. Beef beans and rice aren't particularly high in vitamin k! But I have been eating about an ounce or two of gouda every morning thinking k2 acts like k1, but now I'm not so sure and maybe soluble fiber can bind some vitamin K.. I am going to try eating more green vegetables this month, but not too much quite yet I wanted to see where my retinol levels are at, my blood test is on the 20th. So I will try to stick to the foods I have been eating until then. Just to see what my baseline is.  

The dry eye is way better. I have been using more olive oil on my whole wheat pasta in the morning that seemed to really help. So I think we do need fats for healthy mucus membranes! Karen Hurd right again! (and no I don't follow her like she's my guru, I'm listening to my body and considering physiological function we can't know everything all at once) 

No change on the buttcrack front (or back? lol). No more ideas on that other than being on a strict elimination diet, which I don't have any motivation for. Plus then what? 

From the land of never would have thought:

I Can't Believe How Easy This Is: How to Conquer Screen Addictions with the Power of Your Subconscious Mind: Haskins Junior, John: 9798989266500: Amazon.com: Books

I thought it would be a waste of time and money.  The kid did a good simple job with a profound idea.  Hilariously simple.  

Have better weeks.  And butt crack.

@joe2

What is the gist of the book? I waste a lot of time scrolling through feeds. Mostly Quora and YouTube shorts.

Yikes!!! I don't get any skin problems from dairy, but I do think overdoing dairy fats are an issue for most people. Clogs up the liver.

I tried listening to that interview GS did with him, I unfortunately didn't get that far. I might try again. Thanks Joe. 

Two days ago I went to a little hole in the wall for dinner and had one of those melted cheese dishes that you mention, Janelle!   Went through my gut like GLUE.   Also possibly triggered some histamine.   My abilities with dairy are pretty epic, but this was indigestible.

I kind of miss all the people who have come and gone.   We all get cranky and feel like crap, we toxic people.     What we need is a big group hug, LOL.

@lil-chick

In Heaven! Imagine on the New Earth how wonderful everything will be? I mean, we get glimpses of Heaven when you are moved by nature. But the earth will be restored. Jerusalem built out of precious stones. I hope I get to sing and dance a lot. Oh, and have a body that doesn't hurt. For eternity. Goose bumps.
