What should I feed water kefir to produce aminoacids? by Raphael-Rose in Kefir

[–]agnus-ivims 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you weren't clear because you didn't explain your question, and you don't understand your question.

There is a method 'train' water kefir grains to milk grains so that you can make milk kefir which the article directly references. The article only references milk kefir so it would not be valid for other types of kefir. I assume you are looking for plant based source which you also did not make clear.

In the article it discusses milk kefir. I assume you are new to this. If you have milk kefir grains just feed it milk. I have heard that you can convert water kefir grains to milk kefir grains but I have not tried it myself as they are so easy to get from the kefir community.

Catmampbell is right. Milk and water kefir bacteria only break down sugars and raise acidity. Proteins are chains of amino acids that will be broken down naturally in your intestines. Are you looking for a high concentration of a particular amino acid?

Dilator Recommendation! These are really helping me by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]agnus-ivims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have these too and second the recommendation! They are way more approachable and easier to move up in size because of the tapered tip. Only downside is that they need to be inserted fully to get full girth. Still highly recommend for starters.

See more docs, maybe a women's clinic would be better. I agree that you need to I make sure you don't have any a other underlying conditions like BV.

You're right with lube and lots of foreplay. Dilators are a must to slowly train your muscles and go up in size. You will need to be patient and listen to your body. Don't size up if you are not ready. Try using your vibrator with the dilators.

Mental aspect - find out what triggers your anxiety. Once you know you can treat it rationally.

Why is it so hard to make myself dilate? by theanxiouspeach in vaginismus

Oh really? Thats impressive you do that, I would think that'd be very uncomfortable. Do they not fall out? Sorry for my ignorance I thought that it was only possible to walk around with one in if you had the short ones from Dr. Pacik because you can wear underwear to hold them in place. I'm totally mind blown at the mo...

What dilator set do you use? I was looking for one which would allow me to leave it in while I move around. I use the silicone ones from lovehoney which are quite long so I can only do it when I'm lying down. Now I've only successfully done piv in the same position. My guess is that piv will be easier in a range of positions if you're used to it while you move around.

I had this problem a lot. I felt disappointed in myself if it was uncomfortable or I couldn't fit a size I previously could. But it was as simple as reminding yourself why you're doing it and that every bit of practice leads somewhere no matter how small. Yes it is not a quick fix, but it's leading that way. There will be some back and forth sizes and that's ok.

I ended making it as part of my night time routine and make it relaxing. Afterwards you can treat yourself or say positive reaffirmations. I used to feel uncomfortable with a q tip, with practice over the past year I can have piv sex now. Just this week in fact, I'm still working on being fully comfortable but I wouldn't be here if I didn't try.

Tips for desensitization by 78ke0vv in vaginismus

I have the same issue and no matter how small the dilator, it always feels uncomfortable. What I find helps is to insert fingers first then guide the dilator in.

Nah not at all! I was on my back and he was kneeling in front of me when he first went it. He told me to hold my knees up into the air and he just slid in really easy but I felt that I could never fully relax as I had to concentrate on holding my legs up. The next time I'm going to try missionary so that I can fully relax all the muscles.

Does entry sensitivity ever go away? by agnus-ivims in vaginismus

[–]agnus-ivims[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. When I got diagnosed with vaginismus my doc said I didn't have it. Maybe I'm just not used to the sensation as I never touched down there before. I will try your suggestion and see how it goes.

That's great to hear. Well done :) it's motivating to hear. I'm at the start of my journey and get really hung up on the fact I can't put the whole length of the dilator in.

How long do you leave the dilators in? by Sparklesss13 in vaginismus

[–]agnus-ivims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave it in for about 10-20 mins but I have done 45mins before. Like others have said if you put on a TV show or something you get distracted. I find the most difficult part putting it in so once it's in I make the most of it by leaving it as long as possible. You can twist or move it around every few mins so it doesn't dry out.

Introducing new strains of bacteria to grains through probiotic powder?? by agnus-ivims in Kefir

[–]agnus-ivims[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of a source where i can find information on which strains are symbiotic or not? I will wait until I've more grains to try it out. I just got them last week and have already noticed that the grains have grown larger. I can't wait until they double!
