Even though the lyrics are pretty sad, I love the happy-dancy beat of this song. And, the rock/country vibe. I hear it often playing in my head. 

Welcome to my 7th mitosis on The Bean Protocol! I've been on The Bean Protocol for 630 days! That's a whole lot of beans!

I naively thought that these blog posts would get shorter and shorter as time went on and I healed but no, it's the opposite. These posts have become so long-form now that I'm personally shocked by it and I'm the one writing them. It's led me back to researching about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) because it seems that when nothing fully helps, it might be MCAS. It's something I came across years ago and matched a lot of the symptoms but seeing a doctor for it is crazy expensive ($4,000 for the first 2 appointments NOT counting labs and you need a lot of labs done, oh and they don't accept insurance, doesn't matter because I can't afford insurance now anyway 🤣). I'm saving the MCAS stuff for when I write about the next mitosis because this post is already way too long. So, look for it in the 8th mitosis, a few months from now. On with the post!

I've been battling constipation since Hashimoto's first hit me in 2014. No diet ever helped except for Carnivore and the Bean Protocol. I moved back to the US and even though I'm still beaning, everything slowed down again down there. Besides the occasional *ahem* breakthrough, I was still struggling. QNRT helped some and I started to be able to go once a day again but only a tiny little turd. Not good enough. Then, at my mom's suggestion, I started taking her digestive enzymes. And, thank you 6 pound 8 oz little baby Jesus, regular poos returned.
