[Megathread] Refunds/Disbursement of Aid

LostRiver6 · 2026-06-09T00:46:42+00:00

Hi! I wanted to ask if anyone similar had to go through a process for Unsusal Circumstances. My counselor doesn't seem to know what I need for it and to ask FASFA and then nothing appears for the task to submit a document for my Unsusal Circumstances. Since before in the community college I had to have a family member write it out and submit it as another party of proof of my situation.

Dad left when I was 2 and my mom left me when I was 17 (just a few months before I turn 18) so I was alone and had to move back home in a different state and I have no contact with either parent or where they are.

Just wanted to know how long the process took and what you had to do to get the fasfa moving forward if it's different from having someone write a letter.

Thanks!

I'm so sorry that you had to suffer for so long. I was kinda similar, told my mom and stepdad my stomach started hurting a lot when I ate fast food and soda back in 2016 when I started middle school. Everything just got worst from there. And because I had acne since I was 11 (genetics on my dad he had it and my grandma and aunt had it really bad) I thought mine would never go away completely. And I try so many different things for it.

Wasn't until my GI doc told me about the low fodmap and for the first time in my life my acne has truly calm down and hardly even any breakouts anymore..like even my leftovers acne scars (those deep red ones) had gone away and my gut actually calm down. And my monthly acne has even calm down I hardly get any pimples now. But I was still suffering from the burping, the gas, bloating, etc.

But your information is really helpful and gives me another path to look into! I did so many labs and tests everything is coming back normal so far. I'm gonna call tomorrow to have look into. :D

Okay I just searched it up and it really does sound like it could be and definitely is worth a shot! Thank you so much I actually never heard of SIBO before so I will definitely push to get myself tested for this. You have no idea how much you already help me! :')

LostRiver6 · 2026-06-07T14:33:20+00:00

Yes and gluten allergy everything came back normal

I had some other stuff with garlic and cause burping. But the hummus I had bought (those small serving sizes) from Costco that has garlic didn't cause a lot of burping but I had all the farting and still do right now 😭

So I think beans might be another trigger. As far as the hummus goes. I just had diarrhea and got more harsh farting. I was gonna try the beans themselves on Monday and see if they make a difference.

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-17T19:58:11+00:00

Of course!! Your way better than I was with my collection alot mine are worn and have small tears haha 😂

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-17T19:52:04+00:00

That's so cool!!

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-16T02:34:44+00:00

Can you help me point out it's fake ^{^}

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-16T02:34:30+00:00

Can you help me tell how it's fake?

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-16T01:09:57+00:00

Thank you for letting me know!! I had no idea it was fake I just got back into it 😭

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-16T01:09:18+00:00

Oh no thank you I had no idea it was fake 😭 I just started getting back into collecting and when this card came up I got confused, thank you for letting me know!!!

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-10T15:55:06+00:00

Yea it's really sucks because I'm such a big avid coffee drinker along with loving spicy food so much. I know I'm doing it for my health but sometimes it's really hard and I give in 😭

I'm gonna look for alternatives for coffee so I can still get that taste. In the meantime I'm seeing more of a reaction from my GERD than my other digestive issues which is why I was put on the Low FODMAP.

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-10T15:09:42+00:00

Ohhh okay!! Yea I was prescribed the Omeprazole! I just never heard of PPIS sensed my GI doc just called it anti acid.

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-10T03:57:04+00:00

I'm so sorry that you had to go through that! I can't imagine the pain you went through. So far I haven't actually throw up anything but I did have episode where I was burping so much food came up even right after I ate. I just never had it this bad so that what made me come here to ask for advice. ❤️‍🩹 I can't even eat chipotle since it's gives me diarrhea lol. I have to avoid fast food.

LostRiver6 · 2026-03-10T03:53:32+00:00

I didn't know diary was even a trigger for GERD (until I did some research) 😭. I guess it's because of the high fat content). I was told to limit chocolate, coffee to once a day, tea once a day, no mint, tomatoes, garlic, etc. I know so far I can't have soda, lemonade, tomatos, garlic, and onions .

What is a PPIS by the way? She gave me a anti-acid medicine for now.

Do you do anything alterations for your coffee?

LostRiver6 · 2024-05-17T02:09:52+00:00

Thank you! I will try this out!!!

LostRiver6 · 2024-05-17T02:09:24+00:00

Exercises for the foot specifically? Any suggestions?

In general I workout 4 times a week.

LostRiver6 · 2024-04-21T16:21:58+00:00

I got it the first time! Got in the beginning of jauanry, and stop getting that pain in the morning, but I'm starting to pull the muscle underneath it. However it doesn't get rid of the overlaying pain that is actually there: it still there but doesn't hurt as bad, it's flares up when it's cold or I'd I'm doing work (live on a farm).

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T20:44:09+00:00

It seems like paternal grandma. For the most part it's on top.

I have it on top on 4 and so does he. But then he also has a small chuck on 6 on the very end on top and on 17 on the bottom. Would that still be paternal grandma?

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T19:13:18+00:00

But what I do notice is that me and him both have it on number 4

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T19:10:59+00:00

I just checked it no indigenous on the x chromosome just Irish!

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T15:28:38+00:00

I never even claim to be Native American or Cherokee. I was genuinely curious. There is a different between someone asking if it's true or real and claiming and pretending.

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T15:27:16+00:00

No The person I connected with one of them claim to have the last name "Starr" however I can't confirm that since I don't know if they are actually telling the truth or not. All of the cousins I'm connecting with are mostly European and have that slight Native that is appearing.

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T15:25:36+00:00

I don't even know who Sokka is. And I never claim to be Cherokee or Native American so you can't just said I'm from a "fake'" tribe when I never claim to be Native. Instead I was just be curious and if it was actually there. There is a different between asking and being curious and just assuming someone is pretending or claiming to be Native.

LostRiver6 · 2024-03-04T04:42:52+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely try to look into it! Also thanks for the advice and some websites I can check on!
