  1. Thank you all for your help. They are aware that onions negatively affect them, but missed the ingredient on the labelling. For thousands of years medics of all hues ascribed stomach ulcers to stress, but it just wasn't true. They had a protective layer that prevented the stomach's acid from dealing with them. An Australian came along and proved this and demistified the matter, once and for all. I am sure something similar will happen with so called allergies.
  2. I believe they used the term "bed stricken" i.e. they had to go to sleep.
  3. A colleague of mine said that they were left severely bloated after cooking a chicken chow mein meal from a sauce packet. Their usual brand was out of stock and so they just picked up another. Compleyely unaware that this would happen they tried another brand soon after and was left with no symptoms. They are now trying to narrow down the culprit. Results back from AI suggested the following: "Comparing the two lists, the sauce that caused you severe bloating includes ingredients like Barley Malt Extract, Defatted Soya Bean Flakes, and Roasted Wheat in the Dark Soy Sauce component. It also contains Red Chilli Paste with an additional acidity regulator (Acetic Acid) and yeast extract paste." The white list: Water, Sugar, Soy Sauce (8%, Water, Soybeans, Salt, Wheat Flour), Garlic, Modified Starch, Sesame Oil, Sunflower Oil, Spring Onions (1%), Ginger (1%), Yeast Extract, Chilli, Salt, Acidity Regulator (Acetic Acid), Colour (Plain Caramel), Flavouring The black list: Water, Sugar, Dark Soy Sauce (7%) [Water, Salt, Sugar, Barley Malt Extract, Defatted Soya Bean Flakes, Colour (Plain Caramel), Yeast Extract, Spirit Vinegar, Roasted Wheat], Ginger Purée (4.5%), Spring Onion (4.5%), Modified Maize Starch, Garlic Purée (3.5%), Onion Purée (3%), Toasted Sesame Oil, Red Chilli Paste (1%) [Red Chilli Peppers, Salt, Acidity Regulator (Acetic Acid)], Colour (Plain Caramel), Yeast Extract Paste, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid) They say that they can eat French stick baton bread and have soya sauce withouht issues. Any ideas ?
  4. Would it be possible to add more images so there were more than just two states ?
  5. I read on Wikipedia that a hologram is made by superimposing a second wavefront ("reference beam") on the wavefront of interest, thus the image "animates" when moved. I would like to know if more than one wavefront can be used, to create a smoother or more complicated animation ?
  6. ZMA definitely works. During the pandemic my diet changed away from pastry pies and potatoes and I found my back giving way for no reason. I can't remember how I stumbled upon the information but I took some and that problem largely went away. ZMA works for muscle related issues, fact.
  7. I only ever took Zinc with Magnesium because that was what the ZMA deal. If I can get that from nuts and such then I should be fine, as you say. Anaemia I can do without. Magnesium however I do find that I need.
  8. Yours is the only answer that I understand. One of the Pharmacist in the shop recommended me a water soluble option for Magnesium (above is Zinc) when I mentioned the size of the tablet that I was used to. With citrates being easier to absorb I assume that the reason it is taken from Citrate Dihydrate ? Why would they list three times the daily recommended intake and does that mean each tablet only contains 10mg ? I am still unsure how to interpret this label.
  9. I am confused about the labelling on vitamin supplements. For example with Zinc, there are a number of different types and the one used is elemental where each tablet is listed as 30mg, with a Nutrient Reference Value of 300 from 100mg Zinc Citrate Dihydrate. Asking a Pharmacist what this mean I left with the understanding that to get the 30mg elemental dose, it would take 100mg to achieve this, is that right ? Another was Magnesium, where the tablet was 211mg from 1,456mg of Magnesium Citrate, with a "Referenced Intake" of 56.2%. What does all this actually mean, as some companies charge more than others and I would like to know what is going on. Also, I was told that the size of the pill isn't determined by how much of a vitamin is contained within it, as there are all manner of binders and shelf stabilisers that aren't even mentioned on the ingredients that bulk out the pill, as the vitamin amounts are so small.
  10. The vertical transparent cylinders distort the diagonally placed red pencil behind it: But the horizontally placed blue pencil seems to double back on itself: Why is this ?
  11. Point taken. I can't believe there is no commonly used term for this.
  12. Outside of a mathematical context sweeping parallels doesn’t necessarily make the connection. What about southward sweeping meridian line ?
