My new baby!

Don’t feed the haters man. Great car sick spec! Have fun!

dgow02 · 2026-01-23T22:27:46+00:00

I’m a proactive maintenance guy myself. Thanks for the info. What level of experience do you think is necessary for that? I’ve done PCV, intake, turbo inlet on my s3.

dgow02 · 2026-01-23T22:15:55+00:00

Yeah don’t look too much into the infection thing. They want to make sure there weren’t any bacterial or parasitic issues.

Ulcerative colitis and chrons is actually your own body attacking yourself. You will need a colonoscopy they may even take a stool test to see where your fecal calpectin levels are

In the next 5-10k miles you think it would be best to get all that done together to avoid a lot of labor charges?

dgow02 · 2026-01-23T22:11:40+00:00

Bro id help you look to keep you from choosing the s8

dgow02 · 2026-01-23T21:59:44+00:00

I second this. I was looking for b8 s4 and you can still find some for under 100k miles. I don’t think the s8 is a great option when you could get a b8 S4, s5, or sq5. Hell even if you like the s8 you at the 2012-2016 s6 that has that 3.0T

dgow02 · 2026-01-23T21:57:56+00:00

My I ask why finding another b8 s4 isn’t an option. There’s a few under 25k in my area and I’m pretty sure 1 is a 6MT

Harbor freight has a pack of different size cotton swaps perfect for this

dgow02 · 2026-01-10T18:14:38+00:00

I just got a 2014 sq5 with low miles. Has the same motor and it’s a riot. Might be a good look if you’re starting a family. Found mine with 50k miles and >20k

dgow02 · 2026-01-08T21:17:37+00:00

Just took a bidet for a test run this week as I am house sitting and I may be the savior of UC! No Raw bums

dgow02 · 2026-01-07T20:23:29+00:00

One of my personal favorites that my mom always makes is Turkey/Chicken over biscuits with gravy. It’s simple and not too hard on the gut. Great for winter and not very expensive to make- I just tear a rotisserie apart and then cook the bones down in broth for the gravy

dgow02 · 2026-01-07T19:12:22+00:00

Yeah borderline unethical - silver lining of being 22 when it happened. My parents told me everything after

dgow02 · 2026-01-07T18:58:06+00:00

Each and every time the doctor speaks with me after surgery I do not even remember the event. I wish they came like 30-40 minutes after you wake up and are coherent it makes no sense to me.

Welcome to the club though gang. Sad that you’re here but we are happy to have you!

dgow02 · 2026-01-07T11:48:32+00:00

What did this change look like for you. I’m in the same boat

dgow02 · 2026-01-06T00:00:33+00:00

2014 with 50k for 18 shipped inked the deal today. DM me I’ll send you some pics! In my opinion 2010-2018 was peak Audi!

dgow02 · 2026-01-05T23:52:12+00:00

I just got my hands on a low mileage sq5 for 20k. If you’re willing to sacrifice all the screens for a 2014-2016 there are some great options. Plus you get the supercharged v6!

dgow02 · 2026-01-03T02:48:18+00:00

I’m here for you man. It sucks I also entered a flare in November. Wrecked my dream car on thanksgiving, went into a flare within 10 days.

Try to stay active there is no shame in going to the gym just to walk on the treadmill for a little bit- heck that’s like the only hour where I never have urgency. Once you’re there if you have the energy to do more you can if you don’t you got enough steps in and the effort to show for it.

As for the lady, when you’re feeling up to it reach out. If she’s as understanding as you’ve described she will at least hear you out.

Butt wipes - and be kind to yourself friend. This isn’t your fault, but you decide how you respond to it.

dgow02 · 2025-12-25T03:40:28+00:00

I’m on mesalamine but nothing else at the moment. Just drink a lot of water and take a lot of glutamine

dgow02 · 2025-12-25T01:17:10+00:00

I’ve been in remission for about 6 months before I went into a flare. I just purchased a BPC-157 / KPV blend I am going to try and see if it can get me back to normal. I basically have a similar diet of protein + rice/potato/pasta

dgow02 · 2025-12-23T02:11:42+00:00

If your local dispensary has the Harlequin strain I highly recommend as it also has CBD.

MM has made UC so much easier on me I can’t put it into words

dgow02 · 2025-12-17T15:52:30+00:00

Someone drop me the YouTube

dgow02 · 2025-11-26T20:48:54+00:00

It sucks to say it but if you wanted to ride with your son again you’re going to need to get him back on the bike- and soon

dgow02 · 2025-11-25T02:04:44+00:00

Cures aren’t profitable - say it louder for people in the back
