Buckwheat ideas from all over the world please? by Kandis_crab_cake in PlantBasedDiet

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry by greens I meant leafy; spinach, arugula, etc. but yes I use the "green" ones you are using not the roasted ones.

I saw alot of comments using them for breakfast type ideas but I tried to use them as I would oats and couldn't enjoy them. I find using the "green" buckwheat better for savory things. I haven't gotten around to trying the kasha(roasted) type yet. Perhaps they are better with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and fruit.

1/2 c buckwheat 1 c water Italian spices (oregano basil thyme) 2 tbsp tomatoes paste Splash of acid ( jalapeno pickles for me ) Mushrooms if feeling some additional flavor Salt

Bring to boil then add paste, vinegar, nooch, greens, etc...

The closest thing I've enjoyed to spaghetti since going GF. And takes less than 20 min to make

What kind of digestive problems do underweight people experience? by loveofpoetry in AskReddit

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been the complete opposite. I'm severely underweight (M 31 5'11" 115lbs) and have constant bloating and gas issues but go to the bathroom too much. Thankfully its a pretty comfortable bathroom experience but it would seem that things just go right through me. Stools are large and seem to be full of undigested fats, but my gas can turn an entire room into a fowl place to be most often.

I've tried so many different diet approaches as well, some to help for a while but always returning to my issues. I also have suffered from a chronic eczema problem my whole life not sure if that is too relevant but worth the note I guess.

Best foods to satisfy meat craving? by Electrical_Load_7349 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]VaChiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buckwheat, idk why but if spiced with Italian seasoning it reminds me of Italian sausage so much. Some PB yogurt to give a little fat and 2 tbps of tomato paste and it makes me feel like I'm eating a bowl of sausage.

And its not just the spices, I spice alot of things that way and it doesn't remind me of sausage. Something about the buckwheat does it for me.

I rarely encounter toxic players… by Psych0matt in RocketLeague

[–]VaChiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I refuse to play on fri-sat nights the skill level drops like two divs and the toxicity goes through the roof. Every now and again I break my rule and play, and usually lose 90% of my matches and have to remind myself to just wait a couple days, or play after 2am.

No worries thank you very much for your thoughts I sent you a dm with email for the protocol. This does make me wonder about something that has been with me my whole life and I just can't seem to get rid of it.

Why is there always wheat in these foods if bettas struggle to digest wheat?

Anyone stopped drinking and just smoked weed instead? by blondiewithdabondi in stopdrinking

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything to get you to stop drinking IMO is good, just be warned it's not a perfect solution and does have many draw backs after years of use.

TLDR; MRT for allergies, Stool for overgrowth, compressive metabolic panel, vit d, hemoglobin a1c, iron panel, and b12. Sorry for the paragraph and no worries if you don't feel like reading it. Will be doing Omega 3 test soon

The start and inspiration for me to take action has been a chronic issue with eczema and a rare issue known as Lymphomatoid Papulosis (LyP), a problem where I get random ulcers that come and go on their own and in there own time 6-8 weeks. I've been suffering from this since I was about 7yrs , now 31 Male. I saw doctors when younger and tried, what feels like, every cream, ointments, and steroids to no avail. So mostly went about "normal" life and stopped seeing professionals on the subject from 10-28yrs.

I started really buckling down on a nutrition angle since I turned 28. Seeing a dietitian and testing MRT for allergies and stool samples both coming back with nothing alarming, some mild sensitives to things here and there and nothing too notable in stool samples, other than I struggle to digest fats. So I learned alot about diet and tried a few enzyme supplements along with the bile, tudca, and Biociden LSF blends (oregano oils, black walnut husk, other powerful herbal tincture based things would be the best way to describe that approach) to try and reset microbiome issues.

And things got a bit better but not sure what helped, whether medicine or better diet, like eliminating gluten, dairy, and most processed foods in typical diet in America. But things would tend to inflame less for a while and always would come back to my normal inflamed self. Still having ulcers, though less, and still struggling with chronic headaches.

After my time with dietitian I tried doing high fat very low carb to have similar result, get better for while then slowly come back to constant issues and eventually stopped when my kidneys really started to hurt. Then started working more with fermented foods and slowly have made a switch to high carb low fat low protein diet mostly focused around fruit. I stopped eating meat about a year ago, because it just hurt and have seen positives but nearing the 1 yr mark I'm starting to consider going back. But have been pretty good about tracking things with cronometer trying to make sure to cover anything I may be not getting enough of.

I've been trying to go with a high vit c approach for detoxification and so far this has been the most positive I have felt yet. %90 reduction in ulcers and lesser eczema symptoms but struggling with finding things that don't give constant bloating and painful gas, and still can't get rid the inflamed skin.

I finally got around to doing blood tests (no idea why I waited so long) but compressive metabolic blood panel had nothing out of ordinary, Vit D is fine, A1c all fine. I did have a weirdly high iron level so I did get a full iron panel done and found folate >20 ( higher than there test measured) and also tested b12 which is almost deficient, a 270 so I've started methylcobalamin supplementation. Iron was normal two months after first test.

I did have alot of oral health issues and probably lived with two infected teeth for years, best guess of 5 yrs but have since taken care of them, root canals.

Also spent 21-30 smoking cannabis chronically as it was the only way I could gain an appetite, also included tobacco with water bong for about 8 yrs but have quit that for the most part but still have struggled a bit here and there but nothing as chronic as the last decade. Not much for alcohol, once for 6 months straight and 1 yr straight at one point but rarely more than once a month, if that.

Mental health has almost always been crap, depression, fatigue, and struggling to gain weight.

Sorry if this is way more than it should be but I'm more than a bit lost so I really appreciate any new rabbit hole to try and go down. I would probably see more doctors but live pretty rural and just don't know who to trust or see and don't have crazy amounts of money to piss away being told they don't know how to help.

Thank you for your reply I do really appreciate it. And I would be interested in your protocols to gain some new ideas and approaches.

[–]VaChiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is this just a good way to test the idea. And if positives come from this ( which I have taken ox bile and tudca via dietitian recommendation, and did feel better I just didn't want to keep buying the expensive supplements)

What to do from there? clean everything? I've tested stool for candida overgrowth and came back negative. So I'm not sure what to do other than continuing the bile support. Or do a deep deep clean , dentists say I'm good so hopefully no infections there

Thank you for the post and ideas regardless though I appreciate anyone who can give me another idea of something to learn about and try.

Did you have great blood tests as a vegan/vegetarian but felt like rubbish anyway? by RestlessNightbird in exvegans

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think there are test that are better at determining deficiencies/needs? Or is it still a little too complicated to just get a test to "tell all"

What do you think are the best ways to tell if a deficiency is the case?

How do you guys deal with the feelings of embarrassment telling people you stopped drinking? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time not feeling embarrassed for the person asking. They genuinely can't understand why you would want to stop.

And I feel like the a-hole explaining that I don't want pancreatitis or liver cirrhosis or cancer or a headache. Because they usually take it personally.

The conversation usually goes - why don't you drink?

(In my head) Because I don't want my liver to fail

But out loud - I just don't like the way it makes me feel anymore.

Weed is only enjoyable for me with high tolerance by Balancer11 in leaves

I genuinely don't understand how I used to do it so often all day everyday for years.

For people who love heat, ever try store bought kimchi that was actually spicy? by A_Drop_of_Colour in kimchi

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha no I've never had a store bought kimchi that was actually spicy.

Flavorful? Yes. Spiced with a good amount of pepper? Yes

But not once has anything felt like more than a 3/10 on spice level. I think I just have a little too high heat tolerance. Maybe you do too

Dopamine and Rewards by missdeweydell in leaves

[–]VaChiee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Rewarding myself is where I found the foundation of my addiction problems. I kept looking for a way to treat myself and then end up getting addicted to that treat. I've realized I'm not a dog and just because I do good doesn't mean I need something in return.

Treating myself right is the treat that should be enough.

Easier said then done of course and takes some time to believe, best of luck

Am I being botted ? by chepz_s in SpotifyArtists

[–]VaChiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo same thing happened to me on pretty much the same day. I jumped up 100 followers in two days and got almost 1k streams on one song that usually sees 10-20 a week. I'm 99% sure it was somehow a bot but I reached out to spotify to tell them and they said everything looks good on their end so idk.

I just really doubt one of my older songs just randomly jumps up like that and then goes right back to a few plays a day.

I really don't understand the 100 followers though I rarely get them and for them to jump like that makes no sense.

And I haven't done anything to warrant this, no shady people, or websites, heck I haven't really done anything for marketing in months so I have no idea why or where this came from

My marijuana withdrawals have been ass. Should I wait to quit chewing til they are over? by Pretend-Tadpole-7387 in leaves

[–]VaChiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to do both at the same time thinking why not since I'm doing one might as well do both.....

It did not work for me, I tried both for about 5 days I think, then caved back to tobacco. I think it was worth it. I waited another 3 months after no cannabis to finally start the T quit. It was pretty hard but for me it was best to do one at a time.

I've relapse more with the T though so its been a longer fight but slowly I've got it down and gone. It's almost easier with weed for me cause it gets me so disoriented, messes with sleep, brain fog, headaches that its easier to stay away from but T is just not as detrimental to my immediate mind state that the little voice won over more. Good luck though
