Podcast Questions:

1. Pooping Rocks and Acid Reflux [12:46]
Brian says:
As of the last 8-10 weeks I have experienced constipation. Pooping daily but basically a bunch of rocks. I’ve also been getting acid reflux more often. BOTH of which seem random and cannot figure out what it is dietwise, as my diet is relatively consistent. Curious what may cause this and perhaps recommended remedies? Much appreciated

2. HCL Supplementation [17:04]
Alex says:
I've been treating some gut dysbiosis, which among other things includes HCL supplementation, and I feel like the dosage recommendation protocols on HCL are really missing a big piece of the picture. I eat nearly carnivore and prefer 2 large meals a day. I've increased my HCL dosage up to 10 capsules (650mg each) to beneficial effect and still don't experience any discomfort. Based on almost every protocol out there I'm way past the upper end of the dosage. It seems rational to me that the combination of 60-80g+ protein meals and gut dysbiosis would necessarily call for such large dosages, thoughts?

3. Why hasn’t the paleo/ancestral health community embraced baobab fruit as a staple food? [19:44]
David says:
Hey Robb,

I recently found out about baobab fruit, and decided to try it. It’s apparently native to Africa, and a favorite staple food of the Hadza. anyway, it tastes good, and seems to have helped a lot in fixing most (maybe all?) of my gut issues.

I’ve known about the paleo diet for 10ish years now, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard about this fruit for whatever reason.

This seems like an easy win food-wise, given the amount of fiber/prebiotics it contains, it’s one of the most nutrient dense fruits one could eat, and I didn’t have too much trouble buying it on the Internet at a reasonable price. And, given how long Baobab plants/trees live, this is about as “paleo” as it gets today.

What gives? Why hasn’t the paleo/ancestral health community embraced baobab fruit? Is there some potential downside to eating this all the time that I have yet to discover? Will I die from some weird African parasite hiding in the pulp or something?
