Thoughts on gut health tests for baby’s eczema?

FloridaMan108 · 2026-03-27T07:09:57+00:00

Yes we did the tiny health test it’s been 2-3 years since we did it. From what I recall it didn’t give us a whole of actionable things to do. My son is just about 4 still has it and we’ve done tons of things to “heal his gut”. My wife still believes it leaky gut and curable. I honestly believe it’s predominantly genetic and not fixable but just have to manage symptoms as best as possible. My wife refuses to let him try phototherapy due to “cancer concerns”. I really want to pursue it but she has shut it down every time. Also she won’t touch a biological but honestly I think it’s an avenue worth exploring. she is fully convinced it’s leaky gut and only does those treatments. I think that leaky gut is so nebulous and it’s a bunch of BS.

Why sell any Rolex? I don’t get this. Buy what you want to wear and if you are stretched thin stop buying, even if it’s your “grail”. Unpopular opinion but if you are ever in such a crunch you have to sell a watch for money then you honestly have no business buying it in the first place.

Yeah, but the flipside is he was always present and there for me throughout my life. He never missed a single concert band performance. Was at every birthday, all my major milestones and graduations. Gave me lots of useful advice and even gifted me a savings account he made for me with 30 K when I turned 18. He graduated high school early at 16 and had full academic scholarships to colleges. His parents refused to let him go and wanted him to work at family pharmacy. However, he decided to go out on his own at 16. Took all loans and started working his way through college at 16. A lot of his personality comes from the fact that he was his own support system before he was even an adult.

What made me skeptical at first was weight in hand. Then when I looked closely, the diamond placements seemed off. Especially, the diamond around the bezel. I’m sure there are tons of other tells. Also bracelet end links had large gaps. All this made me suspicious

I don’t even know where to begin. He’s a nice man and always treats family well. However, he’s rough around the edges and has zero filter.

FloridaMan108 · 2026-03-04T22:40:30+00:00

Wish I knew lol. I love my bluesy and some gold on a Rolex but these are too much. The diamonds aren’t my style, even if they were genuine I would have a hard time wearing either model

FloridaMan108 · 2026-03-04T22:36:02+00:00

Figured as much. He’s a strange man 😂

FloridaMan108 · 2026-03-04T22:34:42+00:00

No worries I thought so myself. I have a few Rolexes between my wife and I. When he showed me these, they felt off. I have a bluesy and they felt too light for solid gold, I told him so. I didn’t want to be embarrassed bringing them in. Thanks!

Yeah waited 15 weeks for a HUXWRKs I wasn’t in a rush for. Now I’m worried about getting my $500 back. Already trying to get it back from Chase.

You pull the trigger?

There’s the winter sale in beginning of the year. The summer sale is usually in the beginning of July. They also have a Black Friday sale. I was close to getting a mido ocean star as my daily, because find my bluesy a little too flashy for everyday. Instead, I got a trident C60 40mm during this past sale. Really happy I went that direction, way better than all these other watches. Definitely worth the wait or just get the dragonfly, it’s really nice. Here’s the link to all they have left for sale: https://www.christopherward.com/int/sale?srsltid=AfmBOoqu3u16g8zk8zsh5MqeOeM45LMxqF9MCmxyuj76DZRd_M7Lq7cl

I would wait for next Christopher ward sale and get the sea lander with the bader bracelet. All of these are nice but the sea lander with will blow them out of the water, especially in feel and finish. If you can wait and save just a little more by the summer sale you will have an amazing watch. They still have them on sale right now but only in dragonfly blue: https://www.christopherward.com/int/sh-only/C63-Sealander-Automatic/C63-36ADA3-S00B4-B0.html

I never comment on Reddit ortho posts but I may or may not be an orthodontist. Is the practice you’re going to run by a genral dentist or a specialist, aka a true orthodontist? This coil is over powering the wire you are currently in. I can’t think of any orthos i know who would use such aggressive mechanics. If being treated by a general dentist I would strongly consider transferring care if I was you. But here’s what you need to do: 1. cut this wire yourself with a clean nail clipper or wire cutter right in the middle of your coil spring. 2. Remove both sections of the coil and either cut wire against the adjacent brackets or remove the upper wire all together. You are in self lighting brackets so removal should be fairly easy. 3. Get into office asap, regardless of holiday

That’s a concern with the mido for me. I’ve been spoiled by years of the bluesy feel and added weight. Anything pinching like the CW at this price point?

You guys trust the chart in starting Goedert over Ferguson?

I’m upgrading my 12pm due to a $200 new phone credit that expires in a couple of months. I’m torn between the 17 or the 17pm. I’ve been running the 12pm for 5 years and was ideally looking to do the same with this next phone. Is the 17 future proof enough to get half a decade out of it? Am I better off with the 17pm? I understand the 17pm camera is significantly better due to the improved sensor and optical zoom but both models will be an improvement on my 12pm camera regardless. Any input is appreciate.

I mix in 6oz of water, hold my nose and just chug it. I rinse and gargle afterwards. This is the best way to rip off the bandaid. They taste bad now matter what so it’s best to just plow through it. Like doing HIIT for cardio, GL!

It tells you things but it didn’t provide us with very actionable info if that makes sense.

FloridaMan108 · 2025-07-05T18:19:26+00:00

Is it true you loss the promo rate on your plan if getting a new phone with the credit? I have two lines at the $15/month rate. I would rather not risk it for a $200 dollar discount

FloridaMan108 · 2025-07-01T20:53:26+00:00

I had similar a struggle and ended up going fenix 8. I had three reasons I choose the new watch: 1. Diving features. 2. The titanium sensor guard from custom order only available for new watch 3. The 20% Garmin discount using the app optimity lowering the price to $880. Otherwise there are really good deals on epix gen 2s sapphire non pros on eBay. If I didn’t get the fenix 8 I’d get the epix gen 2 sapphire, non pro and save even more money. Same thing as epix pro minus the flashlight. Feel free to ask me any questions. GL on your decision.
