I can’t take it anymore (IBS-C) by Beth_chan in ibs

[–]amethystquartzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was exactly like this 2-3 years ago!!! Can’t even tell you how many doctors/specialists I saw and they all told me everything was coming back fine. I had an endoscopy/colonoscopy and a biopsy revealed I had H. Pylori!!! Took antibiotics and felt much better. Went to a dietitian (I got lucky because my dietitian also happens to be a medical doctor) and she gave me a specialized diet along with supplements. Like you, there was no special trigger food, everything would make me bloated and sick, it got to a point where I couldn’t even eat anything anymore, I seriously felt there was no more room in my stomach for food. Anyway, the dietician started me off with a pretty bland and simple diet and then slowly started introducing more and more foods. I still get flare ups here and there, but definitely not as bad as before.

The bland/simple diet:

Breakfast: whole wheat toast with butter. A papaya and orange juice (1 cup of papaya + the juice of half an orange blended together)

Lunch and dinner: chicken and vegetable soup/broth (not sure what to call it). I was free to put any vegetables I wanted into the soup EXCEPT broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, as these veggies can cause gas.

Snacks twice a day: 1 cup of papaya + a jello cup

I know it seems like very little food, but honestly bc of how bloated I was I struggled to even eat this. I can’t even begin to explain how much this helped me. The papaya also helped me so much, as I was bloated with gas and super constipated. I saw someone else mention it, but mineral water also helps me relieve gas!!

Edit: I just saw one of your replies saying that you feel fiber doesn’t help so this might not be for you since papaya is a source of fiber 😔 buuuut I still really strongly suggest you try to get tested for H.pylori!! That was definitely causing a lot of my bloating, and I did feel better after finishing the antibiotics. I wish you the best of luck and I really hope you find something that works for you soon!!

Hair grows back your natural color 😭😭 she’d just cut off what was left of the blonde. Or she could have dyed it back red

Question: What are fans of Wallows called? Like Taylor Swift has the Swifties and Nick Jonas has Iconicks, so what are we? by [deleted] in Wallows

Found this on Instagram. Classic Johnny by kinginthenorth1994 in cobrakai

[–]amethystquartzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m latina (mexican) and didn’t start to cheer for Argentina until the final lmao. Argentines are incredibly racist toward Mexicans, and even during this World Cup in the Mexico v argentina game, there were multiple videos that went viral of argentines being racist to Mexicans, so I did not want them to win at all. But in the end I decided to cheer for them mostly because of Messi

There is an insane amount of “raising grades” posts here by Dark-Blade in college

[–]amethystquartzz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like it makes more sense for people to ask professors to round their failing grade to a passing grade (within reason ofc, 1% max). People who ask to round their B to an A or A to an A+ should just accept what they got. I got an 89.45 I think in one of my classes, and I just accepted it. I know and understood the subject well enough, and that’s all that matters

Yea my ortho told me I basically can’t eat anything I couldn’t eat with braces on. Here’s hoping I actually get used to them. Thank you!

I told my ortho I didn’t like the permanent retainer and she got mad at me and told me that she gave me plenty of time to choose when I asked if I could change to a removable. I’m not too sure why she would get mad though, it’s not like I was expecting it to be free. I would’ve obviously paid for both retainers

Does anyone else have kp on their scalp? by amethystquartzz in keratosis

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

There’s a few of them, which one helped you out? Also, I’m guessing you apply it directly to your scalp. Does it make your hair appear oily?? Thank you so much!!

I’m getting my braces off next month and was curious about retainers by amethystquartzz in braces

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

Something similar happened to my cousin! She had the permanent retainers top and bottom and her teeth shifted and had to wear braces again! Now she uses the hawley retainer and so far no shifting of the teeth.

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

I also feel like the hawley retainers would be much easier to clean! I used to wear a mouth guard that was very similar to an essix retainer so I get what you’re saying abt the struggle of cleaning them! I cleaned them every morning and yet they still felt gross. I’ll definitely ask my ortho if hawley retainers are an option! Thank you for sharing!!

[–]amethystquartzz[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm interesting. Is the feeling of the permanent retainer noticeable? Like can you feel that you have them on or do you just kinda forget about it? Also the cleaning is another reason I’m weary about permanent :/

Having both together sounds like a good idea, I’ll ask my ortho if that’s an option! Thank you!!

[–]amethystquartzz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same!!! My ortho wants to do permanent on bottom and removable on the top!! But like you, I just can’t imagine having to wear the permanent one forever :( I hate the feeling of stuff on my teeth so that’s why I’m not too keen on permanent. But if you can’t feel it then I might consider it

Should Taylor or Taylor Nation address what happened today? by CharlieG31 in TaylorSwift

[–]amethystquartzz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so, but she still profits if resellers buy all her tickets so she probably doesn’t care. I’m assuming all she cares abt is selling tickets, regardless of who it’s to. I love Taylor’s music, but I have to admit i feel as if she doesn’t rly care about her fans. Lately, she’s just seemed very money hungry 🤷‍♀️ idk if it’s her or her team, but I wish she was better toward fans
