You can use monk fruit!

You can drink this daily if you feel good with it and it can help support your healing journey!

Sorry to hear that! You may very well have a stomach ulcer: https://drjockers.com/stomach-ulcers/

Eat what God provided for you which obviously includes bananas. I eat anything that tastes good and is healthy regardless if it’s ketogenic food or not.

Is coffee a deterent to inflammation or does it increase inflammation?

thanks E. Grogan, I am in so much pain, good to know, I will start immediately.

You don’t say if you’ve been diagnosed with GERD or not… I suspect your oesophagus may be leaking acid while you sleep. That happens when the ring of muscle that opens to let food/liquid into the stomach doesn’t close tightly enough, allowing the acid to leak. I elevated the head of my bed using a brick under the top corners. I can now eat/drink anything in the morning without irritation. It’s an old and practical solution. My inflamed oesophagus resolved and is now completely normal – the healing takes quite some time, so be patient. Good luck!

You can definitely add collagen peptide powder to warm liquids – it’s great in soups, for example. Here’s what Bare Biology says about it:
“Collagen peptides are heat stable up to 300°C, a temperature far higher than normal cooking and baking. As water boils at 100°C, collagen can be mixed into hot drinks, soups and stews without weakening its benefits.”

Not sure where I read that Fennel seeds is more effective than black pepper. I add both. Sometimes I crush the seeds to a powder-like & sometimes I let the seeds simmer in the milk for a few minutes & then strain it.
