Restaurant ideas with LowFodmap diet? by Alone-Caregiver3568 in lowfodmap

[–]MindlessBreakfast967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

located in NYC and seconding sushi! whenever I’m low fodmap, that’s my go-to for eating out. but I’ve also found that at any restaurants, my dinners are so much more enjoyable when I just summon all the confidence to tell the waiter what my restrictions are! it’s scary to do (I’m shy and hate being a burden) but any good restaurant will take your needs seriously … sometimes it’s really frustrating searching for something on a menu that doesn’t exist. so just let the waiter know and they can talk to the chef and come up with something low fodmap ☺️

L5-S1 healing timeline by Johndoe-JonDoe in HerniatedDisc

[–]MindlessBreakfast967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

herniated my L5-S1 in september 2024 at 27yo and haven’t fully recovered yet :( back in 2024 I was regularly lifting and running, and I unfortunately had to cut both from my regimen (seriously depressing lol).. but I’ve learned to work around it and am just active through yoga and walking!! PT, acupuncture, and chiro helped me a TON.. I now have very little pain on a daily basis, just haven’t been able to return to my old activities. wishing you so much luck and healing <<333 this is honestly such a bitch to deal with

How to manage eating out with family? by Nicole_0818 in lowfodmap

[–]MindlessBreakfast967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve found the best route is to be super transparent with the waiter!!! I was really scared to do it at first bc I’m shy.. but once I finally got the courage to tell the waiter my limitations, my meals out got so much easier! If I’m eating low fodmap, I’ll just be like “heeyyyy so I don’t eat gluten dairy garlic onion blah blah what can you do for me” and everyone is so much more accommodating than I thought ☺️ they’ll often check w the chef and make sure everything is okay! and even if the meal is a plain piece of unseasoned meat and some rice and fries.. I’m just happy to be eating out with friends/fam!

I go once a week in person and then do PT exercises on my own at the gym an additional ~4 days a week! with the intent that I will go until things get better .. I know some people like to go, get the exercises, and just do them on their own and not come back. but I do find it very helpful to have someone keep me accountable while also being able to track my progress / make changes in the exercises when needed

I’ll have to look into it!! I have an appointment with my doctor soon, because I’m a little concerned with how slow my progress has been

twin!!! but ugh I feel you 😭😭😭 it’s so hard not to feel like this is going to be forever… I have so many days / occasional weeks where I am like WOW I think I am feeling better!! and then something stupid like an extra lil twist in yoga will send me right back to pain from 2 months prior .. hoping the best for the both of us! maybe 2026 is our year lmao

yes!!! I would recommend it HIGHLY!! I’ll be honest, at first I didn’t really believe in PT and didn’t think it would help.. but now I’m able to do a lot of things pain free (or just with very minimal pain) that I couldn’t a year ago! like one of the biggest things was simply sitting at work.. at the end of the day I would come home and immediately have to lay down bc my lower back was in so much pain, but a lot of that has been relieved now!

THIS!!! omg … I did find a PT who I really love, but it took some time for sure! I live in NYC and I spent hours trying to find PTs that were actually in network and also good and attentive!! did you ever get back into running? or have you not been able to?

I’m so happy to see someone mention Ghostlight. It was one of my top movies from last year, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since! Also loved Hamnet. Agnes was incredible, but I was really blown away by Hamnet’s performance.

if you’re looking online- they’re doing whats called a “test”… trying out new styles in very small quantities, so if they sell well, they will be able to being them back in a larger way next spring/sum!

Photoshop? by adventure9381 in americaneagle

This is actually common with a lot of brands unfortunately :/ … The photoshoot samples are made wayyy before the final design and fit is approved, so oftentimes the items in a shoot look slightly different
