Wonderful collagen!
Yes, some celery in the broth… still getting everyone onboard with no-plants. The person who added the celery into the broth doesn’t even like celery, they were just following a guide. Baby steps.

Phytic acid is one with a well known interaction with zinc: https://hero.epa.gov/reference/56527/
Paper itself can be found here: https://bvssan.incap.int/local/I/I-1025.pdf
As to whether it’ll leech into soup, why risk it? It’s a lot of work to make a good broth.
That paper is useless to me. I’m not a food scientists or medical nutritionist.
If its well known why aren’t there regular sources to communicate the perks of this nocarb diet? Sources like mine. Meant for regular people who don’t participate in the academics.
The diet/lifestyle itself is not well known nor mainstream.
Phytic acid’s interaction with zinc is well understood. It’s on Wikipedia:
Here’s a chart from the paper I linked about zinc absorption:
The chart describes the change in the amount of zinc in the blood of the subjects of the study, after they ate some oysters.
After eating 120g of oysters and nothing else, plasma zinc peaks at ~150 ug/dl in 3 hours. If the oysters are eaten with black beans, it peaks at ~40 ug/dl, and if the oysters are eaten with tortillas it barely goes up above 0 at all!
I mean, its cool that we can measure such changes, but what does that mean for me?
Why should I care about phytic acid and zinc interactions?
Does a normal diet include enough phytic acid to cause problems in average people? I’m sure theres people who do benefit from reducing or eliminating it, but I’m not sure why I, an already healthy individual, should consider eliminating it as I feel fine and I eat corn and flour tortillas regularly.
That is the key, if you are fully healthy then yeah - you don’t need to change anything - you are fine… but… you mentioned you had Crohn’s - is that fully in remission without flareups or medication? If not, then removing plants temporarily and seeing if your symptoms or health improves is a tool you should be aware of.
Fully in remission. Flair ups stopped with increasing fiber intake, avoiding grease, and red meats.
In my experience the only thing that triggers a flair up is dropping my fiber regiment or consuming milk or soft cheeses. Well aged cheese and yogurt is fine.
But that’s me and my body. My fiance can’t have fiber and has to greatly watch fat due to a different gastro issue called gastro paresis.
We did actually do an elimination diet and they only ate chicken and steak for a week before we found slowly what carbs and veg we could add back in. We also found out that fatty steak wasn’t good either, but we had like a dozen frozen steaks when the diagnosis came in.
That is great! I’m glad your happy and healthy.
This makes sense, at least to my crazy brain -
dropping fibre will reduce short chain fatty acid in the intestines (on keto/zero carb this isn’t as issue as the fermented SCAs are replaced with whole body ketones which are more abundant and go to the whole body).
Dairy has casomorphins, which will have a impact on gut motility.

The literature is light here as well, but testimonials are in abundance, and one imagines for the same reason IBD resolves - fat/protein fully resolve in the stomach resting the gut.
Oh great! Then you already know everything you need to know about carnivore (though chicken might not be ideal).
What was the issue with fatty steak? Was it only fatty steak for two weeks? From my understanding of typical gastroparesis protocols fat is reduced to increase gut motility, but on a zero-carb elimination diet there isn’t fiber and carbohydrates in the gut anyway.
Without extrapolation, it means you shouldn’t eat oysters with beans or tortillas.
Since the required amount of tortillas is very small (120g), the answer is yes. And this is just one anti-nutrient, plants make a multitude of compounds, most of which we don’t fully understand.
In my opinion, best avoid all plants since they’re unnecessary.
It’s not well known, that is exactly why this community exists.
Fair enough
