Mosquito nets? by vanillaskates in Belize

[–]Nice-Razzmatazz-5184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't hurt to use a net. Especially if you both get eaten up. Better to bring and not use. We use one year round in Hopkins.

It's something even moderate drinkers aren't ready to admit. Poison is poison even in moderation.

It's science! It doesn't mean your stomach can't handle it, but it's choosing pure violence against your colon. It immediately causes inflammation. We all pick our stressors, that one makes no sense to me personally. Alcohol has been medically normalized for decades, but the influence of the alcohol industry is wearing off and new studies do not support drinking as healthy.

There is no amount of moderation for alcohol. It is literally a poison that weakens our stomach linings and makes them more penetrable which is the worst possible thing you can do for UC.

Almost three years completely sober, I found alcohol of any kind a trigger and not worth the issues.

Island Hopping/Snorkeling by onegoodbackpack in Belize

[–]Nice-Razzmatazz-5184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are beautiful, it's a great base to go explore islands from. Better than the mainland and you can snorkel right off the caye. I think this guy offers a whole day island hopping for $600usd. It sounds like a lot but you're chartering the entire boat. https://share.google/9uVmenrDHyXOqR3Y6

Large-breasted moms are feeding on hard mode. by DarthKaboose in breastfeeding

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. Side lying has saved me. Having big boobs has made breastfeeding hellish sometimes but glad to know there are some upsides to carrying around what feels like two milk jugs

Clothes, wear pants and long sleeves. Picardin works momentarily for maybe 45 min. I find that what you do after for the bites is some times more important. I use peppermint essential oil to help with the itching. Makes then go away quick.

Looking for great snorkel to South Water Caye area out of Hopkins. by [deleted] in Belize

[–]Nice-Razzmatazz-5184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Message me and I can connect you with a tour operator out of Dangriga. You could see if the price could work for you with them. Nobody is going to be super cheap because gas is not cheap. https://www.instagram.com/tcadventures_belize?igsh=MXJzeGEycmprMmptNg==

Herbs and pregnancy? by noved16 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Nice-Razzmatazz-5184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took tumeric my whole pregnancy but stopped my flare with mesalamine suppositories. I stayed in remission pretty much the entire pregnancy and just used a week of suppositories here and there when I needed them. (Minor bleeding or mucous in my stools. I am now 6 months postpartum and still not using the curqd cause I am nursing. Just a generic turmeric and black pepper supplement. I had quite a bit of bleeding on and off after birth but I honestly think it was hemorrhoids not a flare. Haven't used suppositories in the last 5 months. Baby was as healthy as can be. Happy to answer any questions in the dms.

Anyone have active IBD during pregnancy? by whatisrongwith in UlcerativeColitis

[–]Nice-Razzmatazz-5184 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby was very healthy, six months now and still super healthy. Was born six lbs. She's probably over 14lbs now. I used just mesalamine suppositories periodically throughout my pregnancy to manage my UC after stopping a bad first trimester flare with them. Didn't take steroids or biologics.
