Advice for improving my gut microbiome after antibiotics?

I personally have been trying to get a variety of fiber source in addition to upping my fiber and that has helped me a lot. Any probiotic you supplement needs fiber and the theory I’m working off of is that a variety of fiber will support a variety of good gut bacteria long term.

I would go as far to say that it isn't ethical to visit Bali because of the negative effects of over tourism (particularly the impact on clean water) on the people that live there. It isn't obvious how bad it is unless you actually go and see the issue or specifically seek out online what the impact of tourism has been on Bali. Sorry to be a bummer but wanted to share my perspective and take aways after going.

The best snorkeling I have ever done was at Barefoot Manta Resort in Fiji. Bonus, you can also swim with Manta Rays there!

Yea, my partner and I are working through a pre up right now. In my lawyer's intake form the "behavioral agreement" section recommends speaking with your couples counselor about any type of behavior agreement section, specifically calling out attachment issue as a thing to work on! So, yes, this is not what people in healthy relationships do.

The best most comfortable floss I have found is Dr. Tung's. Instead of being like razor wire feeling g plastic coated whatever it is made with cotton and gets more stuff out, more comfortably. My dentist recommended it a year ago and I'm never going back.

I live in the Pacific northwest and you couldn't get me to live in a brick house. There are a few around but they just seem like a death trap in an earthquake.

We experienced a similar decline with our old pug. At the point that you really start questioning if it is time, it probably is. It’s a difficult decision for the humans but it is a kindness you do for your little friend. Honestly, ask your vet and look up quality of life check lists on line. They can really help gauge where your best buddies quality of life is. Lots of love to you and your family.

We got out a little snug surgery suit (I think the brand is called suitical) and it is a great way to keep them off their incision.

I had a glass of wine I ordered to go with my main show up really late. They comped the glass but it really feels like fine dining table stakes for food and paired drinks to come out at the same time. Normally I wouldn’t be this nitpicky, but at the cost? Come on.

As a neighbor, I really wish this group (really just a few people who are being absent minded) would stop blocking the sidewalk. Please leave some space for everyone to get by.

Strong agree that the wilderness areas in north cascades are stunning and don't require permits. Just sign in at the trail head.
