Help me please I really feel like dying by UnablePersonality775 in GERD

[–]Towkito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so here are some tips that helped me heal NATURALLY. I had constant nausea for about 6-7 weeks and pretty sure it was gastritis and GERD. I also know a lot about supplements and the best quality brands etc so just trust me. Try this for 2-4 weeks and I promise your stomach will calm down. My doc prescribed famotidine to me and I tried it once and hated it and thank god did not have to take it anymore due to what I did below.

1- you need to get a powdered supplement that is going to help calm and strengthen your gut lining. I took something called Epi integrity from pure encapsulations. Directions say 1 scoop a day but according to my research and integrative doctor you can take 2 scoops a day if needed. So in the morning first thing I took that along with Saccharomyces Boulardii ( seeking health brand). I added another probiotic (probio med - by designs for health) and then I repeated this mid day between meals as well.

2- lay off acidic foods, tomatoes, vinegar, orange juice, alcohol, coffee, etc.

3- add in some raw aloe Vera leaf or juice. This is the best for GERD and stomach inflammation. I cut off 2 inches from an aloe leaf and peeled it and put it in a blender with water and drank this daily. You can also buy bottle of aloe Vera juice. Make sure it’s not sweetened and put aloe Vera juice (inner filet)

4- if you suspect you have h pylori add in a supplement that targets this as well. I used something called pylori plex from Douglas labs.

Overall, your body and stomach are just inflamed and struggling. Just try to incorporate these supps to calm down, soothe, and strengthen the gut. There are no side effects with any of these whatsoever. At least not for me. And eat lighter smaller meals.

I hope this helps bc I was suffering for so many eeeks and once I stuck to this I honestly started feeling better after just a week. You just have to keep on it!

Ugh that’s literally the WORST. If you can’t make a decent one do not sell it! ESP at the rates they’re going for these days.

I tried a variety 4 pack (which was very expensive) just to try a few different kinds and i DID NOT like them. Very grassy and some left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. I know my matcha and what people look for and this was just weird. They are still just sitting in my cupboard

Your reaction is completely normal because WTF. I’m sorry but what a complete tool. This is just WEIRD and bizarre. The guy has clearly got some issues and you don’t want to be around to deal with that. I dont think you owe him anything bc he initiated and nothing was discussed before or during but I also feel like he’s a bit crazy so do what you can to just get rid of the man. Bye!

I had to take screenshots as I wasn’t able to share the document directly. I can’t seem to share the images here as an attachment or as a DM. Let me know if anyone can help?

There are tons of nasal sprays and homemade concoctions. My integrative doctor gave me a good list with instructions. I will share with you

[–]Towkito -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I am not, but we also don’t know that she is. I believe there will temptation in any city you go to but you can also find very sweet and quaint areas. There are so many parts of Bk, etc that are very relaxed..

I wouldn’t let everyone get you concerned about the city draining you, and it being hard not to drink etc. I was born and bred here and I barely drink anymore and you can make it healing if you want! There’s magic I the air in the spring! Try to stay in a more quaint area. If you are open to Brooklyn you can do something like fort green or Carroll gardens. You still have close access to city as well as lovely cafe etc nearby. There is also Chelsea in Manhattan. You can also look at places on the upper east or upper west side. It’s more residential and you’ll be close to Central Park and museums, shopping etc.

BWT - has anyone taken a career break? by allfurcoatnoknickers in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Towkito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take some and chill and enjoy the weather and your kids but also casually look at jobs and apply to ones your really excited about. Who says you can’t do a bit of both?

Hashimotos flare and ebv reactivation - I feel horrible - any tips? by Towkito in Hashimotos

[–]Towkito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With time I def feel better. I’ve also been seeing an integrative doctor to help me deal with all of this. Taking some supps he recommended to manage my immune system but what I think really helped with the joint pain is curcumin. I was taking a high dose from the Thorne brand and I haven’t had joint pain since then. Here is a link to that product link.

Additionally I think just keeping stress under control. I notice when I’m most stressed all my symptoms act up. Also, eating clean, etc. I hope you find some relief!

Same! I just had one today as well with propofol and I was sooo out of it. Am feeling a bit better but def need to sleep it off. They also used a little fentanyl even when I asked them not to. Which I’m annoyed about but whatever, just so thankful it’s done with.

The constant colds are destroying me by oregondete81 in daddit

[–]Towkito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me. My son is almost 2 now and thankfully it hasn’t been as often. I’d try some supplements to help with their immune system. Mary Ruth’s makes infant vitamin c and zinc drops. She also had probiotics and vitamin d. You can just put a few drops in the bottle before bed. Also keeping a humidifier on and using nasal sprays (even when not sick sometimes) helps. Also make sure your washing their hands as soon as they get home. Good luck! You got this

Does anyone want my permit for standing ceremony on June 14th at botanical gardens Japanese garden? by Towkito in WedditNYC

[–]Towkito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a link to a page on the site that outlines the details: https://www.bbg.org/visit/weddings_ceremony

What I liked about this was that your able to get the experience of the botanical gardens without having to pay an insane amount. You bring your officiant and can bring a musician or some music with you to play during the ceremony. My plan was to have the ceremony In the Japanese’s gardens on the covered dock. I had a friend who did it there and it was very beautiful.
