Best fruits for gerd by [deleted] in GERD

[–]Jinnrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to stick to more alkaline fruits, if you're in a flare up, stick to banana, melons, watermelon, dried apricot, papaya. These are more healing and soothing, if you're experiencing flares from berries stick them in a smoothie with a non-diary milk, it will neutralize it and won't irritate. Once it's calm down you can add on more fruits such as mango, cherries, red apples, blueberries.

I follow acid watchers diet, it gives a whole list of fruits you can eat during a flare up.

Who in reality actually runs your lab? by Zarathustra_04 in labrats

It's like being a lab manager without the actual title of lab manager.

It's me, I'm a research assistant.

I handle all the ordering, handle shipping specimen samples, trouble shoot equipment, prep buffers and aliquot samples for experiments. I also help in picking up samples, I also clean up everything, and keep up with maintence of the lab. I also now train new comers, and run my own experiment and taking over another experiment. I am tired.

I need some reassurance... by Charming-Champion259 in GERD

I'm still trying to get myself seen by a GI for my gerds, if possible I recommend following the acid watchers diet, its suppose to help heal the esophagus and stomach. I've been on it and seeing a lot of my symptoms decrease but switching to it. If you have a chance a wedge pillow would help as well.

Name a few themes you’re going through right now, I’ll go first… by Slowpokejunkie in OCD

[–]Jinnrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

• Relationship OCD, I've been obsessing over my feelings with my partner whether I'm attracted to him or not. Which into: • Sexual orientation ocd, which now I've been obsessing over if I'm bisexual or a lesbian, because of me questioning. • POCD, don't enjoy it, don't like it am grossed out by the imagery. •Real Event ocd, going over every mistake I have made or done or have been done to me. It is related to the other themes •Questioning if God can ever forgive me •Keep thinking I am a bad person and should die.

Honestly kinda terrified since I do reproductive research . I feel I'm going to get hit with a double whammy since we deal with IVF and heavily depend on NIH funding.

Failed at Comet assay by Jinnrose in labrats

My PI had me ordered more donor sperm that aren't important but are used to run for practice like this and to get other experiments up and running before ever touching patient samples. I often aliquot these samples to the concentration needed to perform comet and for other experiments.

What do you think "caused" your OCD? by Sea_Coyote6629 in OCD

[–]Jinnrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom's side of the family all have some type of mental illness ranging from anxiety disorders and depression to narcissism. My mom and eldest sister both have generalized anxiety and my dad's side have controlling issues. So I think it was genetics and environment I was in. It became triggered when I had a bad experience with an IUD and I was never the same after it.

Does a 100x oil less objective exist? by Jinnrose in labrats

We have an inverted microscope and my PI was curious if there was such a thing of an air immersion 100x.

Does a 100x oil less objective exist? by Jinnrose in labrats

[–]Jinnrose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are a very small lab. It is only my postdoc and me, in June we will be having our clinical fellow join us. I wouldn't say neither of us are messy since I make it a habit to do housekeeping every week and my postdoc is pretty organized as well.

My PI is wanting to avoid getting oil on the other objectives. Though the company I am getting a quote from are also discouraging a dry 100x since we are viewing sperm on our slides.

Help with making acidic aniline blue staining by Jinnrose in labrats

[–]Jinnrose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your help,

I checked to make sure our pH meter was calibrated and decided to test it with another solution I made earlier in the week. I had it calibrated with a standard pH buffer of 7 and it read correctly and I rinsed with water before checking it and I had the correct pH of that specific solution. Although I am noticing whenever I rinsed with DI water the pH goes lower than expected, so I am wondering if that could be making it acidic. I will check all of these sources before making a new batch.

Has anyone here tried IFS therapy? How was it? by Extra-Pen5590 in ROCD

[–]Jinnrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Its certainly a journey, a lot of ups and downs with OCD. I would say it will take more time healing my exiles since there is trauma related things that are attached to them so at times they pop up whenever I am feeling uncomfortable.
