I wish I could post a picture of this because it was hilarious (as I understand it posting pictures is not allowed.). But on a recent trip to Mendoza, Argentina, I went to the zoo and you will never guess what I came across as one of the animals on display....

GUINEA PIGS!!!! I just thought this was hilarious. Lion, tiger, camel, guinea pigs, sheep, giraffe, and elephants, all your run of the mill zoo animals. :D

HAHAHA! I think guinea pig is on the menu in Peru!

Totally off topic - how was Mendoza? I'm about 4 hours away but haven't made the trip yet.

haha! I know there's an ecuadorian dish called cuy (pronounced "Kwee") that's fried guinea pig...I wouldn't be suprised if you can find it in other South American countries!

Yeah, they do eat guinea pig in Peru, I have a Peruvian friend and he broke the news to me.

Mendoza is great. I stayed there for a week during the fiestas patrias. They have a route where you can bicycle to all of these bodegas. It is really cheap to rent a bike and certain bodegas are free. It was too big to see everything, but there are a lot of ferias in the street. The zoo is huge (3 hours to see everything). It's really pretty, kind of in a natural setting, but a bit sketchy too. There was a monkey and bird that had escaped from their cages. When we told the people that worked there they said "Es normal." :blink:

I know this is the free of gluten-free section, but I have to say, there is a huge grocery store chain there that has a TON of gluten-free products (CHEAP gluten-free products). The store that had the most selection was next to plaza Chile (Hard to miss.)

I have to ask you kschauer about how you eat in Vi

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern. This is really helpful I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks f...

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
