Starchy foods may slow the absorption of kava. That's my hypothesis. It tends to go the other way for foods with more fats.
I think your right kapmcrunk. I also had this happen a couple of other times when I decided to eat some potato chips so I think starch does slow it down somehow . I’m defiantly avoiding that when I’m enjoying my kava , hey but this could maybe be good for someone who had a little too many shells and it’s to strong for them .I personally like it strong but some people get overwhelmed if it’s too strong they could try eating some starch when they find it overwhelming .
Think high fat/protien meals...meats, cheeses, fatty meals tend to bump it up for me. Sugary foods tend to be neutral (like fruit etc.). Things like bread, pasta, rice etc. tend to slow it down. This usually relates to mostly the kavain heady effect. I still find the heavier kavas just come on slower and steadier with food. This can sometimes be a good thing.
Pretty sure I've never put ranch on potatoes after drinking kava.
That's what I like about your replies. I was going to say the same exact thing but with about 10 extraneous pages of text to do it. Youre short.. sweet. succinct.
Next time eat the fatty ranch with a spoon and skip the tater.
Yes I often drink kava an hour or so before eating cause during the week days it’s the best time for me to enjoy my kava , I usually enjoy food after a couple of shells and it usually does make it stronger .
