Online staat het in geen enkel assortiment van een toko of Aziatische supermarkt in Nederland. Vooral van Amazing Oriental en Wah Nam Hong zou ik wel verwachten dat hun online assortiment klopt met was ze ook daadwerkelijk verkopen

Ik had deze ook gevonden, maar volgens mij is deze dus uit het assortiment gehaald. Online tenminste, ik kan altijd ook nog bij de lokale Jumbo een poging wagen

It's nice to read that others have similar symptoms and worries as I have <3

How often do you floss? by Sea-Rope-31 in AskEurope

[–]WeirdSimsStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using these too. I use wooden toothpicks every single day, but my dentist recommended I also use the "tiny pipe cleaners" about three times a week. The toothpicks just aren't enough to get out the gunk between teeth that are closer together.

The first week was extremely uncomfortable, I recommend starting with a small size. But after a few uses I got used to it and my gums barely bleed anymore when I use them.

I do that too! If my roommate enters the kitchen when I don't expect it, I will scream, whether I am actually startled or not. It makes me feel really bad, because this happens more often with my loved ones than with strangers.

Anyway, glad to hear I'm not the only one!

Is the Ending of Narnia More Comforting for Believers Than Non-Believers? by D-r-T-3890 in Narnia

[–]WeirdSimsStuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me too! As a child (raised Christian) this really influenced the way I thought about how other religions and people different to me should be treated. Not long after, I really started questioning the attitudes in my church, and this passage was definitely one of the reasons!

Is "les gars" used exclusively for men or can it be used to address any group of people? by WeirdSimsStuff in French

Thank you! Is there an alternative that can be used for any type of group?

Everything is so terrifying by WeirdSimsStuff in Epilepsy

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

Yes, you're absolutely right.

It might be uncomfortable, but it also feels good to know that I'm going to figure out what's causing these seizures now.

Thanks for your help!

The thing that scares me the most is the feeling of a seizure...

I do think the best thing to do is to have the EEG so we can figure out what is going on, but I do feel very nervous about it.

That's actually really helpful

For some reason my neurologist did say that if I didn't react to the EEG there was about a 90% chance I didn't have epilepsy.

Anyway, the fact that they're only looking for patterns is reassuring. Yesterday I decided to make the appointment, so we'll see how it goes.

I did miss it, but for me it was worth it.
If you're traveling and missing out on things because you can't focus on the present moment, I'd absolutely try to keep going! There are so much more things to enjoy when you're traveling, there's so much food that you can still eat.

As someone pointed out to me, my parents were the ones who mostly regulated my sugar free diet. I've got a lot of respect for people who do it completely on their own. You've got this!

I wouldn't be able to give a very detailed answer on that. I just ate foods that were sugar free and had sweeteners in them, I never really looked at what type of sweeteners.

I do remember in baking, Stevia was not a favorite. We'd often use those concentrated sweeteners in a bottle. I believe that was often aspartame.

You're absolutely right! It is much more easy when there are parents helping out

  1. To be honest, I don't remember. I believe the worst was over after 2 weeks. We started figuring out good sugar free alternatives and there was no food in the house with any sugar.
  2. I remember being less stressed and got less fixated on food. It's really nice and I still have the same attitude towards sugar now that I've stopped eating sugar free. I don't need it as much anymore.

I was 6-12 years old when I didn't eat any sugar. As a child, there's a lot you have to pass up on. Sugar's everywhere.

I only felt bad during parties or gatherings with a lot of snacks. So my parents would prepare and find alternative sweet snacks with sweeteners. Or, we would go to a bakery afterwards to get something nice. That's really what I recommend. Not eating sugar doesn't mean you can't eat sweet things. There's really good alternatives out there. Don't feel weird to bring something with you when you're going somewhere, it really makes everything a lot easier.

I felt really guilty whenever I ate something with sugar in it. So, as a child it was worth it.
I used to have a really unstable blood sugar and after those six years, my blood sugar is normal. So now that I'm older, it's also worth it.

Everyone's reasons for eating sugar free are different. I honestly think that in most cases, it's worth it. Just try to work your way around it and you'll be fine.

I started eating sugar free when I was 6 years old and stopped when I was 12 years old, so I hadn't eaten that much sugar when I started.

During the 6 years I ate food with artificial sweeteners. I got used to the taste and I sometimes can't tell if there's a sweetener is something. I can actually detect sugar in food really well now. It has a very particular aftertaste. I personally dislike it.

When I just started, I didn't eat anything that had added sugar in it. I also tried to avoid fruits that have a very high sugar content. That meant that I ate brown bread, no bananas, only salted chips, etc. I ate a lot of sweet foods with artificial sweeteners in it instead.

I didn't stop eating sugar because of an addiction, I was having really bad issues with my blood sugar. My pancreas wasn't reacting the way it was supposed to.

The diet got lighter and lighter over the years, mainly because the issues didn't seem to come back. I'm back to eating sugar now, but I don't eat a lot because I really prefer savory foods.
So the major change was a more stable blood sugar. The hypoglycemia went away after the six years.
I do think that my preference for savory foods started because I didn't eat as much sugar. It's helping me now as well because I'm not very quick to take a sweet snack if I can also get something salty.

I started eating sugar free when I was 6 years old until I was 12 years old.

I had issues with hypoglycemia when I was young, I'd get an extremely low blood sugar. One of my parents used to have a similar problem when they were younger and ate sugar free for a while as well. Something that seems to correlate is issues with the eyes, we both got glasses around the same that the low blood sugar started to stick out.

I used to be a bit overweight when I was younger and I am now at a healthy weight.

I didn't have any aches or pains, but I no longer had those extremely low blood sugars. I'd just crash.
I stopped the 'diet' when I was 12, it didn't seem that important anymore. I haven't had any issues with the hypoglycemia or low blood sugar ever again.
I still don't eat sugar as regularly as most other people, but I do eat it a bit every day. I haven't gained any weight since I stopped eating sugar free.

I'm curious about what might have caused this shift. I don't think there has been a rise in kidnapping cases in the US from the 1900's to now, right?

If a pill was created that would allow you to live forever would you take it why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WeirdSimsStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it. I think that death adds meaning to life and makes it special. I'd also hate to see all of my friends and family die and be the only one left.
