even though i was running all over the place for soccer season right and so i feel like sometimes when we make that that pivot to a new food we have to just acknowledge the fact that hey you weren't eating sorghum before this is the first time you're exposing your gut to it so let's not go a cup and a half maybe let's start with a half of a cup and work our way up from there yeah i was laying in bed last night thinking about that cursing my name well i was so i was so excited you know

Well, you had a very firmly established routine. And part of this is that white rice is like extremely easy to digest, but also not a challenge, not a challenge to your gut. So it's not really making the gut stronger and more capable of processing and digesting whole grains. So I think that when you make that transition, it depends on the individual person.

I don't think of you as being a person who has gut issues. I don't think that you really do, right? Yeah, in general.

Sure. So with a person who doesn't have gut issues, then the way in which you approach this, I don't think you need to be too gentle. until you get to where you are right now, which is that, okay, that was a shot across the bow right there. Now we have to be a little more attentive to how we go about doing this.

So for where you are now, as of this morning, I would probably start with three quarters rice, one quarter sorghum, give it a couple days, work your way up to half sorghum, half rice, give it a couple days. Within two weeks, you're probably at full strength sorghum.

Flip side, if you were a person who has underlying gut issues, you have irritable bowel syndrome, you have a history of bloating, you have a history of food intolerances, then I wouldn't, you know, I would actually be gentle right from the very beginning.

I would just take a very cautious approach, acknowledging that the rice is easy for your gut and the sorghum is going to be more challenging for the gut, but the sorghum will also make your gut stronger as a result.
