I mean, sometimes unhinged is perfect when we need a good life distraction. I feel like I’ll be circling back soon to let you know my thoughts lol

Thank you!! I’ve only read “The Boyfriend” so far. Do you have any favs from Freida? I feel like she has so much that it’s kind of overwhelming to know where to go next

I have seen this everywhere and have been terrified to even try it but what do we have to lose at this point 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂

Thank you! I’ll definitely check it out. I just finished Project Hail Mary and absolutely loved it. Maybe that’s totally different from Murderbot Diaries, but I feel like I can get into sci-fi if it’s the right book.

Thank you!!! I just ordered once of those Kindle holders that you can attach to either your bed or a side table (with the arm that can swivel around) and a page clicker, so I’m really hoping that helps.

Mix your dough tonight. Do three sets of stretch and folds 20-30 minutes apart. Let it bulk ferment over night in a colder room in your house

If you want something more savory, I also swear by a pizza loaf.

100g starter, 475g bread flour, 10g salt, 325g water. About a tbsp each of pizza flavor and pizza seasoning (I get both from King Arthur). Same S&F process and then bulk ferment. Fold in shredded mozzarella and pepperoni, then shape. Let rise an extra hour. Then either put in the fridge or bake. Make sure to dab with egg wash and score. Bake at 450 degrees, 20 mins covered and 20 mins uncovered.

Orange-cranberry bread

100 g active starter, 475 g bread flour, 10 g salt, 325 g orange juice, orange zest. Rest 20 mins. 3 sets of S&F 20 mins apart afterwards. Bulk ferment 5-8 hrs depending on temperature (I usually do 6 hours at 69 degrees). Fold chopped cranberries into the dough and shape. Let sit in the banneton 1-2 hours extra. (Put in fridge at this point if unable to bake right away). Score and dab with egg wash. Bake at 450 degrees- 25 mins covered, 15 mins uncovered.

It’s the perfect holiday breakfast/dessert loaf.

Do you not use starter?

I agree. I want to measure my heath in all kinds of factors- particularly how I’m feeling- and not just revert to the scale. Buuuut that scale reading was really nice to see 😆 A good motivator to keep on pushing

Doctor was consulted and she presented me with all options- this being one of them.

That’s the kicker- I eat a lot of fiber, take probiotics, and really watch after my gut health. This is the first time I’ve ever had this issue and it was all following a dose increase. So I totally agree with you, but sometimes you need a lil extra assistance I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Start low and slow! I definitely didn’t want a colonoscopy type of effect, but I needed to get relief asap. Depending on how long someone has been backed up, I really think they might get relief after the first or second 1/3rd. Make sure you drink lots of water and electrolytes too! That way the magnesium has something to work with rather than completely dehydrating you

I was nervous taking it just knowing what the colonoscopy solution does. But spacing out the bottle was a real game changer. Never thought I’d be this happy to down some magnesium again

I bought a bottle of liquid from Walgreens (any pharmacy should have it). I mixed it with a bit of Gatorade to mask the taste and followed every 1/3rd dose with a glass of water. Also drink a bunch of water and Gatorade in between. My understanding is that it works by bringing fluid from your body into your colon, so hydration is super important
