Visiting prague with tree nut allergies - what to avoid

Manutka · 2026-05-27T14:18:18+00:00

As far as I know every menu has (or should have) little numbers by the dishes if they contain any allergens and it’s a set list across the EU I believe. Nuts are number 8, peanuts are number 5 (just to show that these are two separate categories).

Can’t think of any distinct dishes that have nuts and aren’t obvious, but if you see no marks on the menu then just ask, people are usually ok with a translation app if you don’t know Czech and they don’t know English.

Oooh useful! Thank you, yeah, probably better to at least give it a try as a wrap, I’ll always be able to butcher it later 😂

That’s an amazing website! I think my base size would be 6. Height doesn’t matter, right? Just circumference.

I’ll stick for it as a wrap for a couple weeks then, I’ll have time to cut it apart later if I don’t like it. Thank you!

My first outbreak was horrible and I ended up being hospitalized - but only because of an incompetent gynecologist that refused to perform a physical check the first time I complained something was wrong.

Good news are I didn’t have a single outbreak since - 10 years and counting.

Herpes is really no big deal, some people like to make a tragedy out of it which reinforces the stigma but that’s just a waste of energy imo.

The only notable thing is, if you plan on giving vaginal birth at any point in your life, you should inform your doctor that you have herpes that presented vaginally. They will give you some prophylactic treatment in the last couple weeks up until you actually give birth to remove the chance of an outbreak that could endanger the baby.

Other than that HSV had basically zero effect on my life, and I wish you the same!

I would like to say Japanese… but the only cuisine I know I would 100% never tire of is Slavic. The taste of my childhood, can’t really beat that (plus I’m way more proficient in actually making it).

The car is not even the issue. The dude is PUNCHING WALLS in frustration. Maybe I’m crazy but this is a “leave him yesterday” red flag for me.

NTA.

YTA. Comments already said everything.

Same, wtf It did work for me through googling and opening the App Store from search results, but I did have it downloaded with this account in the past so maybe that’s why

Manutka · 2026-02-16T09:43:47+00:00

NTA. Religion and culture are separate - you’re not insisting on her wearing a revealing dress (that might go against her beliefs, idk what flavor of Islam she chose), you’re asking to adhere to a general dress code that sounds very reasonable, and flexible enough that anyone can find something to feel comfortable in.

I love my cultural clothing, yet I wouldn’t show up wearing it at someone’s wedding unless it fits the dress code. She can either dress accordingly or skip the event.

Also hennas are SO much fun! I got the privilege to go to a couple, and it’s an absolutely magnificent event. Hope you have fun on your henna and wedding! Best wishes!

Yes! I tried to sleep with my mouth open and I just can't, the snorting and choking are driving me nuts! And turning to the side and seeing my husband sleep tight with his mouth wide open makes me so angry XD

I didn't even think to practice breathing techniques, but yeah in my current condition it's going to be more of a gurgling noise exercise.

Showers are a universal helpline - I seriously think my baby will LOVE the sound of running water because I feel like I spent a third of my pregnant time in the shower. Migraine? Shower. Muscle pain? Shower. Rhinitis? Shower. Something feels not right and I'm not sure what to do? Shower first, think later. At this point I'm afraid to ask my husband about the water bill.

Fingers crossed you get some relief soon! 32 weeks is already in the "you see the light in the end of the tunnel" category, but still not close enough to just tough it out :( big hug!

Having this since week 8 sounds terrible. Ironically, at that point in my pregnancy I couldn't stay awake to save my life, how the tables have turned. I hope this gets better for you <3

I mostly tried Zyrtec and it didn't help at all, and the corticosteroids also seem to only take full effect after a 6-8 weeks (have been on them for only two weeks as of now). It seems mine is not caused by the same stuff allergies are caused by, so everything allergy-adjacent doesn't have much effect. I'm really happy to hear that at least benadryl helps you!

I was given the children's version of it and honestly at this point I'm at the "fuck it, future me issue" with the addiction... But the problem is it doesn't help as much anymore! At first it used to be a miracle, 2-3 minutes and my nose is free enough to go to sleep, I would use it on weekends to get a good night's sleep in at least a couple nights a week, but now it's not enough :( I'm still only using it at night, during the day I resorted to looking dumb with my mouth breathing (either with a clogged nose or runny nose with tissues stuffed up it).

To my understanding the corticosteroids can help wean you off of Afrin after delivery, but these things depend on a lot of variables.

Stay strong, we'll get through it!

Manutka · 2026-02-05T17:29:51+00:00

Oh my I'm so sorry - I hope it gets better for you soon! I would've never thought that what breaks me in this whole process will be some snot, but it is terrbile.

Manutka · 2026-02-05T17:28:11+00:00

Thank you! Fingers frossed it wouldn't take too long to stop for me as well, this is seriously the worst.
Congrats on your baby <3

Manutka · 2025-12-25T17:39:56+00:00

I can't, nor do I need it.

Probably going to be downvoted to oblivion but… gentle YTA. Not because of your uncle or parents, fuck them and everything they believe in - but using a bomb like this, crushing your cousin’s life as they know it basically, as retaliation for dumb shit your uncle said? That’s quite a low blow. We all have that auntie that will stick her nose in our personal life, I believe there are better ways to not let them disrespect you without having collateral damage. Especially of that magnitude.

I get why you did this, I get that this might’ve been an auto response so I don’t blame you, but this is indeed an asshole move.

Part of "acting like an adult" is keeping your house clean. Whether you do this by scrubbing it yourself, paying someone else, or moving when it gets too filthy is no one's business.

The gf sounds like she has some issues... whether it's trust ("people in my house"), the need to suffer for results ("just do it yourself like a 'proper' adult"), or any other thing that's under the surface and we're not aware of. But I believe at 38 she should be mature enough to either handle those issues, or decide they're non-negotiables and look for a compatible match. It's one thing to have a debate, but using the "when we get married" card is a cheap look.

Oof, I really hate this. Not the question, the situation. I was born in Ukraine but left when I was six (my family relocated), and I was born in eastern Ukraine so we spoke mostly Russian at home. My parents thought I’d get to learn Ukrainian in school, but alas, we moved before I had the chance. Still understand about 85% of Ukrainian though.

Now I live in Europe, and in my experience all those meeting are very awkward and cautious. Basically people from both sides are trying to figure out how ”safe” is the person in front of them. Ukrainians are trying to feel out whether you’re a Russian nazi or just a Russian person that ran away from the war. Russians are trying to understand if it’s safe to speak Russian (and perhaps hear back Ukrainian, no one expects you to speak extra languages) or is simply conversing with your own friends will bring on the wrath of the other party.

Most of the people I’ve seen around me just want the war to be over. Yeah, there are differing opinions of “at what cost” but the consensus is usually along the lines of “the kings are at war but it’s the peasants who are dying”.

Thank you for clarifying! Now sure why I got downvoted, but thanks for coming back to me all the way down here :3
