More younger adults diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer in Singapore

Great. You got one part of the equation solved. Would it be better to completely solve it?

Fasting regularly and eating within a short window (4hr) induces greater degree of autophagy. (Cellular clean up, regeneration, reuse)

15 years ago, I was taught so too about fibre. Well, I realised it's nonsense a year ago. Stopped eating fruits and veg since. No issue with no 2.

Maybe you wish to read this sg study about locals with regards to fibre.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3435786/

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms​

Do u even know what u're reading? Please DO NOT spread misinformation. That medical study was done "to investigate the effect of reducing dietary fiber on patients with idiopathic constipation".

Translation: that study was done with people who already have chronic constipation where the cause is unknown and not related to lack of fiber. It could be cancer etc. that is causing the constipation...

I used to think no pain then scary cos inside anything wrong has no nerve that serves as pain signal to the brain as pain usually comes from external piles. Either way I better get it check for a peace of mind. Living with stoma bag is a slow torture

Actually both also scary. For my case, Dr said that my piles were most likely caused by the tumour.

As for stoma bag, I'm not sure good or bad. Of course I wont want it. But I did read about patients getting serious side effects, like frequent bowels etc, and requested to get back to a stoma bag, which is more manageable. Everyone reacts differently. Best is not to get ill.

i used to think processed food are mainly those ham, bacon, sausages etc....but then i slowly start to realise almost everything we eat now is processed

Can give some examples? I am reconsidering my jiak buibui diet now...

 

[rrr2015]

more than 90% of the people around me are not having enough fibre and so I am not so concerned about fibre over consumption in a regular Singaporean diet.




Not easy to hit 'target' with below or other equivalent food daily:

problem is some still take too much fiber supplements

 

[arcturuz]

i only know for colonoscopy prep, cannot consume fibre, fruits, vegetables, cereal

just your basic beehoon soup, the beehoon is processed

 

[sacredrays]

ppl usually talk about taking in more fiber but they forgotten water intake is very important too

 

[rrr2015]

just your basic beehoon soup, the beehoon is processed

why beehoon is processed food? basically just rice + water (some contains sago or starch)

 

[sacredrays]

rice flour

 

[rrr2015]

rice flour

rice flour basically just milled rice

 

[sacredrays]

rice flour basically just milled rice

flour is processed liao eh...

edit: i think you are confused with processed vs refined food

 

[rrr2015]

flour is processed liao eh...

liddat also called processed food so means people also consuming processed food liao

for me processed food means they replace natural ingredients with synthetic equivalents

Read the ingredient list. The longer it is, the more processed it is. Go read the ingredient list on commercial bread sold in supermarket. As for ham and sausages, they consist a known carcinogen called nitrates.

check for polyps in your stomach, my specialist told me cancer of stomach/colon are somehow related.

Gastroscopy can also check your esophagus. If you have acid reflux for a long period of time without treating it, it can cause a precancerous stage called Barett's esophagus. The constant irritation by the acid on the esophagus lining will cause the cells to undergo changes. Hence, don't treat acid reflux lightly.

 

[rogze79]

Are you on meat only diet?

Meat, egg, butter. Some fish. Bit of sourdough bread.

Any reason why you asked?

How is acid reflux treated?

Did you finish reading it? Just group and tell participants to cut down fibre and record observations for 6 months.

Dun overthink and input your own variables.

It's a very simple study.

 

[carey]

agree but only can reduce if homecook

yalor swimming also can kenna
but worry too much also not healthy

Yup, I try to cook my own dinner AMAP - heng I only eat 1 meal a day so no issues not eating out

Jialat cos I swim a lot - hard to avoid micro plastics and all the nano beads that is in everything these days

Recently read this article that boiling our water goes some way to reduce micro plastics - maybe I need to try that too hahah

I was on carnivore diet too, for almost a month. But cannot sustain, cannot pang sai. It's a extreme diet.
