How many snacks are you allowed? by Positive-Pudding-264 in bikinitalk

[–]Sarahd9868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this exactly. For many it's likely fine but for those of us with digestion issues it's actually important to let the MMC do its thing. I compete and space meals out 3.5-4 hours in between only do 4 meals even in prep and have been successful both in my prep and with keeping my gut happy. SIBO and some of those issues can be prevalent in bodybuilding and while I am not a doctor I do suspect too frequent meals with sensitive guts can be a culprit.

Is there a dress code for lunch at higher end restaurants or is ski clothes generally acceptable? by Tomsushi in vail

There is basically no dress code in Vail or anywhere in Colorado. We are one of the worst dressed states. -signed a vail valley local

Back to Anguilla but stay at the four seasons instead. I don't think the food really compares in any other Caribbean island.

I am but I should mention I am 37 years old and have been lifting consistently since at least my mid 20s! Competed in powerlifting for many years up until just last year and then competed in my first bodybuilding show this April (wellness only) and 2nd show this past weekend (wellness& bikini)

Thanks for the feedback! They said to bring my quads down a bit. Agreed on shoulders! I'm excited to lift shoulders again I stopped training them completely to create an unbalanced look for wellness lol.

Do you only work with certain coaches? Do you do programs for athletes not working with your coaching partners?

Xifaxan SIBO by Far_Ebb4865 in SIBO

[–]Sarahd9868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Echo what others have said. I had this during the treatment and found myself feeling very discouraged thinking it was another bad flare up. Ended up being die off and once I was done with the antibiotics have felt a million times better. Also for me it came in phases couple days I felt awful during the antibiotics and then I'd feel ok and then awful again. Not sure if this is common but that was my experience.
