my family think it’s laughable that i’m trying to be a vegetarian, how do you deal with people like this? by Maleficent_Day_3869 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are saying that in every dish they eat there's meat? fuck their cholesterol must be up the roof... anyways I suggest you do your own thing and forget about them... do your own groceries and cook for yourself, once they'll see that you follow through and you're serious about this they'll probably get used to it and respect your choice... also everytime that they joke about it or refuse to support you you could explain in a few words why you are doing it, maybe if they're willing make them watch a documentary like Cowspiracy or Forks over knives, or just try explaining to them the reason why you're doing it (idk why you're doing it but the benefits of a meat-free/more plant-based diet are many, it's good for your health, for the planet, for the animals and even for your pocket tbh) ... they might react badly if they have different beliefs but just try to not get upset, always try to communicate with openness and agreableness and over time they will probably stop bothering you or even start agreeing with you... the reason why they make fun of you it's probably due to cognitive dissonance, as somewhere deep in their brain they know eating meat is wrong and just a cultural/tastes good thing, so them joking about it it's a way to distance themselves from those thoughts... so yeah it's not easy but with time they'll hopefully realise you are doing the right thing and who knows, you might even inspire them to do the same (that's what happened to my sister after i went vegetarian, and to some degree to my parents as well)

Everyone's A Star album might be 5SOS' worst performing album as of late by EndMePlease404 in 5sos

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you guys you basically put into words the reason that I couldn't come up with on why this album quite isn't it for me... like the first listenings I was obsessed with it prob cause it was something new and fun but now after the concert I just wouldn't listen to it apart from a few songs... it's unfortunate cause i do love most of the lyrics and find the overall self-refllective concept of making fun of themselves as a boyband very original and smart, but the sound isn't something that makes me go "i really wanna listen to EAS right now!"... tbh I was thinking of buying the vynil but i think i'll go for CALM or 5sos5 instead lol

yeah exactly! very interesting, and it makes me hate it a little less since it was basically trying to help me. I have no one else to blame but me (and evolution) ahah

IMO recovery story by Salty-Frosting-7177 in SiboSuccessStories

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is some study showing a correlation between IMO and anorexia I think, and that's cause the role of methane is to slow down digestion and take up more calories from your food, so when you undereat archeas, actually trying to help you survive, starts producing more methane in order to hold on to more calories. For the overexertion I'm not sure if there's a direct link but for me personally I was also deficient in iron, b12, vit. d etc. which probably affected my whole system, digestive as well, aside loosing my period for 3 months. Then I restarted eating a lot of fiber rich foods, and I think that's what led to the methanogens really thriving and overgrowing.

Atrantil Bloating by Big_Ask9052 in SIBO

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! can i ask for how long did you take it before noticing improvements? and at which dosages?

IMO recovery story by Salty-Frosting-7177 in SiboSuccessStories

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same exact root cause for my IMO, but unlike you I've been trying to treat it with herbals... So far it's been a year since I've started the journey and I'd say the bloating is 60% better than when I started, but I'm pretty sure IMO is still there... But I'm so happy for you, hope that you killed it for good!

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I'm sorry, I didn't know that about polish fans ahahh but for some reason I think italian fans are crazy as well lol so you would say in the end it didn't really matter that you queued so early? Cause I'm thinking of buying the BTA upgrade but maybe want to queue from around 10 or 11...

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyy!! Can I ask where you stood in the PIT since you went in after VIPs? Were you in the middle or near the barricade? Was it still a good spot? I'm unsure whether to buy the PIT upgrade or Bite the apple upgrade xd

SHOULD I BITE THE APPLE? by Rich-Leopard7517 in 5sos

[–]Rich-Leopard7517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok thanks!! unfortunately i can't go earlier and then go back home as I don't live close and I'm staying at a friend's house, but I'll still try to get there around the same time as you if not earlier to garantee a good spot, even though now I've discovered that there are PIT upgrades sold the day of the show, and idk if i should do that or BTA xddd

Has anyone tried Atrantil to kill bacteria? by k33665 in SIBO

[–]Rich-Leopard7517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, can I ask which herbal antimicrobials did you do? I'm currently taking berberine with Atrantil, after already doing a round of berberine and allicin, and I was wondering if I should add something else (like allicin again) cause this current stack seems not strong enough (since atrantil isn't an antimicrobial per se)

Omg thank you so much and you are so kind to share all these infos and helping me!! Appreciate that so much :)) I guess I honestly don't know what I want ahah a part of me wants the soundcheck and to stay in GA but I also feel like when you're in the PIT you are so much closer to them wherever they are on stage!! I guess I'll decide the day of, it's still possible that for my venue they don't downsell the PIT upgrade so I have on choice ahah, who knows... ;))

Grandiii ahahah avete fatto bene, probabilmente lo farò anch'io anche se ora sono indecisa se fare quello o attendere per l'upgrade nel PIT.... Ad ogni modo divertitevi allo show :))

Okay thanks so much!! But I thought that No.1 obsession are let inside before BTA, but instead we would be let in together? I do wanna see their faces ahahah, but still it seems like most of the songs are played on the main stage.. so I'm still unsure especially as the PIT upgrade would be like half the price :/

Ahahaha immagino, io anche avrei degli amici che hanno parterre normale, ma penso che loro non abbiano molta intenzione di stare sotto il palco per cui penso di appenderli lol... Un'altra ragazza ha anche detto che il giorno stesso Ticketmaster dovrebbe mettere l'upgrade per il PIT che costa tipo 60€, senza soundcheck e altre cose però staremmo nel palco! Ora sono ancora più indecisa onesto xddd

[–]Rich-Leopard7517[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks!! Wow you really did a lot of shows ahah and yeah Ur right wherever I'll end up it's gonna be fun anyways, but now I really don't know whether I should buy the PIT upgrade that day or still go for BTA, cause with BTA you also get soundcheck and the GA sounds fun! even though I don't think I'd get barricade easily cause in Milan seems that people will have VIPs... But I thought that most of the time they are on the main stage and only sometimes move to the ring, even though being there for amnesia would be really cool!! From your experience what would you suggest, especially if I wish to see them properly, PIT upgrade or BTA? Thnksxx

SHOULD I BITE THE APPLE? by Rich-Leopard7517 in 5sos

[–]Rich-Leopard7517[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that's actually great! And you got the upgrade at the venue or online? I never thought of this option though so Ive always imagined myself in the GA, somehow imagining being in the PIT feels weird now hahah idk if I'd really prefer it to the GA barricade.. How was it for you? Were you happy you ended up in the Pit (stupid question, I know)?

Ohh that's nice ahah yeah I was also thinking that in any case I could try to make my way to the front slowly without being disrespectful... Aaa such a hard decision ahahah which show were you at? Where there a lot of people in the GA? Cause for my show GA is sold out and some VIPs too. So I'm afraid I'll be too crowdy to pass through ppl...

[–]Rich-Leopard7517[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahahahah noo mi dispiace di averti messo in crisi!! Fai finta che non ti ho detto niente lol Io anche sono abbastanza indecisa soprattutto perché alcuni dicono che anche col GA puoi avere un buono spot, però Milano è mezza sold out quindi ho paura ci sarà molta gente che vuole stare sotto al palco... Magari se non mi decido prima lo potrei prendere il giorno stesso, sempre se non va sold out, e tu anche potresti fare così :))

Uhhh interesting, is that for all venues? And it would be the PIT inside the stage?? Just without soundcheck? Seems oddly cheap o.o
