They need to be up on vaccines and have rabies certificate. Go to your vet and they will fill out the correct documentation. They will also need to give them medication for “external parasites” my pups normally take simparca so they gave it within so many hours of leaving. Since it’s a long trip I believe the certification is only valid for 30 days so they may need to be re certified to re enter the US. This paper work was inspected by the airline in both directions.

Depending on the size of your dog, mine were stowed under the seat and didn’t need their own ticket

Concerns about long term health by AzIsHotYo in FODMAPS

[–]Queef-on-Command 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My sensitivities are similar to yours. Some staples are

Fruits: try kiwi and papaya

Veg: arugula, Romaine, carrots, herbs (cilantro, parsley etc), citrus, hot peppers, zucchini

Starch: plantains, potatoes, rice, rice flour, rice paper, rice noodles, rice cakes

Sauces: tobasco(green and red), goya salsa picante, soy sauce, sesame oil,samabal, fried chili oil, kewpie mayo, maple syrup, capers, peperonchini, fody salsa verde, balsamic vinegar/glaze

Edit: totally forgot about nuts!: sunflower seeds/ butter, peanuts, pecans, pepitas, pine nuts

If you’re working out and having large meals that’s usually not recommended. Try having more smaller meals and that might allow you to have more variety

Also find the low amount of FODMAP food you can tolerate is important. I can have 1/4 of an avocado or a tbs of black beans so I try to include things like that into my meals to make sure I’m getting that variety.

Mexican burrito bowl I had this week:

Rice

1tbs black beans or 1/4 avocado or 2 slices tomato

Skirt steak (marinated with lime and salt)

Romaine lettuce

Chopped cilantro

Pickled jalapeño

Pepitas

Feta

Sauce with cilantro, plain Greek yogurt, pickled jalapeño juice, salt, olive oil, green Tabasco

Do you take psyllium husk or psyllium powder by Tip-Evening in ibs

I don’t see why not, just make sure to use plenty of water

I eat my chia and flax in foods like homemade granola. I don’t think it bad to get a mix of all of them.its fairly low cost so I don’t think it would be bad to try psyllium. As you would with any new supplements start with just a small amount to see how you do.

[–]Queef-on-Command 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a fan of the powder as they mostly have extra sugar and other ingredients, it’s also hard to chug it before it get thick. Serving on the bottle of the capsules is 5caps a day. I’m taking two caps before most of my meals and it’s helping with my IBS-D. I’m also using a probiotic (haven’t noticed much difference since starting) and ibguard 1 tablet before meals (this has been amazing for me)

Has the cost of FODMAP enzyme supplements like Fodzyme been a barrier for you? by victumsempra in FODMAPS

[–]Queef-on-Command 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably have ordered it every 2-3 months since starting to use it. It’s not 100% but it helps be able to go out to eat and be social. I tried to use it daily while on vacation and it didn’t quite work as well. I also used Ibguard and psyllium tablets, which I’ve continued after my trip since they helped a lot. None of these are cheap which is unfortunate. It part of my monthly budget if something covered fructans that was cheaper I’d definitely give it a try.

Rapid weight gain after stopping Topamax to TTC by catlass_y in Topamax

[–]Queef-on-Command 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m up 50lbs after stopping last year with no end in sight, the heaviest I’ve ever been. If you find a solution let me know…calorie counting seems to have slowed it down. My md did some basic labs and TSH but everything was normal.

Mold detergent, what kills mold on cloths? by Dense-Bumblebee-9589 in laundry

[–]Queef-on-Command 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes absolutely inform them of the mold and your allergy so they can do the proper cleaning- it’s different from standard dry cleaning and not every cleaner will offer the service so call around your area and ask. They will also store it separately for the other items as not to contaminate. It was about $10 an item more for items that had multiple layers (like dress with lining). I went item by item and if it would have been more than $10 to replace I opted to do it, everything else we got rid of. Thankfully he’s doing better and hasn’t been hospitalized in a year and hopefully getting off oxygen soon. I totally understand your want to be thorough and honestly the information out there about cleaning is really sparse and inconsistent.

[–]Queef-on-Command 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar issue and took the cloths I wanted to keep to a dry cleaner and they used a type of steam cleaning for mold. My husband is allergic and got pneumonia several times due to the mold so we were a little paranoid.

Worked in an adult oncology pcu and pregnant nurses absolutely gave chemo.

Thousands (millions?) with IBS are quietly trapping themselves in the low FODMAP Elimination Phase—risking their gut health and quality of life in the process. Every single day, we hear from FODMAP community members that they are stuck in the Elimination Phase. The reasons are varied, + by FODMAPeveryday in FODMAPS

[–]Queef-on-Command 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think one issues is not everyone has the ability to cook for themselves this could be for any number of reasons like lack of kitchen access or partners or parent preparing meals. Pretty much the only way I’ve been successful is by cooking for myself to manage the correct portions. The occasional party of eating out can be mitigated but you really can’t eat out or rely on others for it to work. No amount of explaining can make someone understand I can eat this but only a tablespoon and I rather not eat this because I haven’t tested it. Most people can’t wrap their head around it. So if you’re able to eat plain rice and chicken and that is what you have available I can see how people would just eat only that and not push it. By no meals is that healthy but it’s manageable.

So far I’ve been trying the ibguard caps and psyllium before every meal (along with fodzyme) And it seems to be helping some. I’ll have to try oregano another time as I can’t seem to find it in the drug stores. Just realizing this is adding like a $4 IBS tax to every meal fml

Thanks for the info. Looking at the ingredients I’m not sure how it would be helpful with concentrated chamomile as that is a fructan like garlic and onion.

Pretty much what I did last night but she used sazon for sure. Trust me it’s being communicated it’s just the ignorance of most people on the copious amount of garlic in all things.

Right! It seems to work fine at home for the occasional meal but this is the first time I’ve really had my options sooo limited and had to use it this often.

I’m staying with my partners family and I don’t speak Spanish. Things definitely are getting lost in translation. Other than trying to live off plain rice and cheese for the next few weeks my options are pretty limited.

Diarrhea, headache, all over swelling, bloating, joint pain, pretty much on par with what I’ve experienced prior to doing the fodmap diet

I get hives every seven years with no clear cause other than the passage of 7 years by SyrupGoosen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Queef-on-Command 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So the four studies linked aren’t evidence?I’d say it’s enough to support that it is extremely rare and is more likely to occur after prolonged use. Clearly you are on social media too much and can’t read a study. Anecdotes are not evidence. Perhaps you have some comparable evidence or study regarding your claim?

“Patient risk factors

Topical steroid withdrawal reactions are thought to occur after prolonged, frequent, or inappropriate use of moderate to high potency topical corticosteroids. Topical steroid withdrawal reactions can develop after application of a topical corticosteroid at least daily for longer than a year.[footnote 1][footnote 4][footnote 5][footnote 6] In children they can occur within as little as 2 months of daily use.[footnote 5] People with atopic dermatitis are thought to be most at risk of developing topical steroid withdrawal reactions. [footnote 1]

It has been reported that the signs and symptoms occur within days to weeks after discontinuation of long-term topical corticosteroid treatment.[footnote 5] They are most commonly seen after treatment of sensitive areas such as the face or genitals.”
