Rhyothemis<p>Acacia gum (aka gum arabic) is inexpensive, has a mild taste, &amp; it made my tea a bit thicker, which I like. It gave me a sense of well-being that I get when a prebiotic is doing its job. Unfortunately, acacia is a legume and I react to legumes, so after the second day of taking 6 g* I had increasing dysphagia, so I discontinued.</p><p>I should have expected as much, but - nothing ventured, nothing gained.</p><p>It was also difficult to dissolve. I had best success in that regard by whisking it slowly into a bit of oatmilk (cold, of course), which I then added to my tea. </p><p>* this study ⬇️ found benefit at a dose of 10 g / day.

It also plays a key role in regulating sleep, mood, digestion, and blood clotting, among other bodily functions. </p><p>A lack of serotonin, in turn, disrupts connectivity between the peripheral nervous system and the brain, causing neurologic symptoms."</p><p><a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/a-new-possible-explanation-for-long-covid-could-lead-to-a-simple-treatment-for-some-patients/ar-AA1ijyMT?rc=1&amp;ocid=winp1taskbar&amp;cvid=80fcab4fc4ea47c1d9877eeb0e0b0210&amp;ei=6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">msn.com/en-us/health/medical/a</span><span class="invisible">-new-possible-explanation-for-long-covid-could-lead-to-a-simple-treatment-for-some-patients/ar-AA1ijyMT?rc=1&amp;ocid=winp1taskbar&amp;cvid=80fcab4fc4ea47c1d9877eeb0e0b0210&amp;ei=6</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LongHaulCovid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongHaulCovid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LongHaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongHaul</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Seratonin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seratonin</span></a></p>
