| learning several new languages (programming and human) in
| parallel, and it seems like my thoughts have become more clear
| and precise, as well as nimble. What I'm realizing is that my
| whole life I've been lacking fruits, just because I never liked
| eating them - but I found that I love frozen grapefruits, it's
| delicious. Weird.

| Never tried frozen though.

| For many people taking a range of medications, especially
| mental-related medications, eating grapefruit can cause a large
| range of negative side effects. Several medications will become
| inert in the presence of citric acid and vitamin C. Oranges, if
| eaten at the appropriate times during their medication regimen
| (usually an hour after or before medication), is usually safe.
| Fiber is also important, but it can also absorb medications and
| render them inert if taken at the wrong times. Fiber is usually
| safe two hours before or after medication, which can be
| difficult to orchestrate, depending on medication regimens.

| This is the first I have ever read about fiber causing issues

|
| What effects does fiber have on certain medications and why?
| Does it slow the absorption rate due to the medication being
| dispersed in the fiber?
| bawolff wrote:
| Wouldn't that be the Furanocoumarin not the vitamin c?

| I have a cavy (Guinea pig, she had a cage mate but the cage mate
| passed) and she had a bladder stone. It was really big. After she
| passed it with some assistance from the vet, she got a really bad
| infection. Apparently, the stone cut her up on the way out. She
| had to go on antibiotics for quite a while and the medicine
| killed off her gut flora. This made a mess, made her really
| uncomfortable, and it smelled. So, I needed to figure stuff out.
| There were three steps really. First, she needed medical food to
| make sure she was getting everything she needed. Second, she had
| to take some benebac, and third as cavies are coprophagic, I got
| some poop from a healthy pig and mixed it in to some of her food.
| She recovered and seems to be happier and more calm than ever.

| Gut bacteria is apparently super important in every mammal. No
| idea about birds, reptiles, or arthropods or fish.
