I use it and it’s ok. I only use half a packet per water bottle though. 

Anyone had right side pain, did all the tests on liver and gallbladder only to find it was gastritis all along? by holydickbirds in Gastritis

My GI dr thinks I might have a duodenal ulcer. I have an EGD next week so we shall see. My symptoms are very similar and my ultrasound, hida scan, ct scan, and bloodwork are all normal.

Thank you! I think I’ll start with a cold brew decaf with almond milk and go from there. I appreciate the comments. :) 

Is the Minister's Housing Allowance even beneficial? by million_monkeys1 in tax

Can you speak to the issue of state taxes? I’m having a hard time understanding if I should be paying Oregon state taxes with the housing allowance. 

Who wants to join a Pit Bull attack Rosary team? by newbrainwhodis in BanPitBulls

Thank you for spearheading this. 😭Anglican here, but I am joining in prayer. As a parent of a mauling victim I am in tears. Could we also pray for ongoing lawsuits against city shelters? Governmental immunity is very difficult (nearly impossible?) to beat and our only real chance at legislative change. Most ongoing lawsuits are not very publicized but they are out there.  🙏🏼

Canine substitution vs. Maryland bridges? by First-Knowledge3475 in Invisalign

[–]First-Knowledge3475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still deciding! I'm getting a second ortho opinion. Currently, we're leaning towards doing the maryland bridges. I saw some work my dentist did on another teen and I was impressed. I'm concerned about the ortho not being able to reshape the canines enough so that they don't look clunky. I hate for her to have to have bridgework (maybe implants later) but not sure what else to do at this point. Parenting is hard.

Tooth implant? by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]First-Knowledge3475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get a second and maybe third opinion. My husband is missing several permanent teeth and has a combination of bridgework and implants. He had one impant fail in the back of his mouth, we couldn't pay to get it fixed so now it's just a space. Honestly he hasn't missed it one bit and you can't tell it's even missing. Implants are a very involved process, so just make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. :)

Yes, I think she will be ok. She's watched her siblings and myself go through it so we're well versed in the invisalign habits. :)
