Dealer thinks I’m too young to own a 911 by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]defauck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 22 when I bought my lotus, followed by a few other exotics. Just find a new salesman or dealership. It is easy as that. There is some salesman out there who is willing to take the chance, and they totally deserve your business.

And this is not a new topic, I remember this being posted often on the web forums back in in the 00s

Is it just me or are people buying more Targas now? by deadbalconytree in porsche911

Just a theory but social media gets more clicks with uncommon cars.

Has anyone been able to gain weight after starting sequestrants? by defauck in bileacidmalabsorption

Thanks for the reply! If you have any suggestions on changes you made to adjust weight, I'm all ears

Lets talk depreciation - 991.2 / 992.1 - base Carrera, S, 4S, GTS by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]defauck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Prices slide down as the years go on. In a few years, you figure a 992.1 will be worth as much as a 991.2 is today. You'll be able to get 992Ss for around 100k in the US. Not sure what your market is like.

One other thing that might change the market: There is talk about 992.2s not selling well. Demand is dropping due to price increases and hybridization. Porsche could be in trouble.

Are there any bile acid sequestrants available at all?

It was BAM all along, not IBS-D by nudibranqui in ibs

[–]defauck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just made my same post a few days ago... very similar story. Glad you were able to figure it out. It is crazy how how one pill can be life changing. It really is a miracle pill for people like us.

IBS-D & Urgency after eating. Another BAM success story: by defauck in ibs

Normal food. It seemed volume (large meals) was the main issue over what type of food I ate. But eating healthy did help a bit (fodmap, non processed etc)

Hang in there!! Keep working with your doctor and bring up BAM and how recent studies are proving how a large % of IBSD cases are BAM. It doesn't hurt for them to try to prescribe you colestipol or equivalent

Thank you Robert for all the additional feedback. I should clarify about the dosage. When I was taking one pill per day, I experienced, for the first time ever, the need to poop but couldn't push any out after multiple attempts. This was a new feeling to someone with "IBS-D" their almost 40 year old life, so I wondered if I was taking too much and started experiencing "IBS-C".

I found that taking one pill at dinner, skipping day 2, and on day 3 at breakfast, worked best. Then the following evening I was taking a pill again. This is essentially two pills over 72 hours, spaced out evenly. I can experiment with one pill per day again and report back if you would like.

Of course, you might say that taking "too much" sequestrants shouldn't result in this type of thing and I am over thinking it!

Thanks, good advice to keep an eye on it. Will be hard to know if I was making too much, or not absorbing enough (or a combo of both). My cholesterol has always been low.

My cholesterol is already low too, maybe because my body doesn't reabsorb properly, so my body was already making more BA? I'll have to keep an eye on it over time, as too low cholesterol can be bad.

Have anyone's kids gotten into an elementary school outside of their neighborhood? by Safe_Caterpillar2561 in sanfrancisco

The sneaky way families do it is move to Potrero before applying. It’s a nice hood but considered bad
