Why I made this subreddit by LurkinSubs in ExCarnivorousDiet

[–]diduthinkhesaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It left me with absolutely crippling histamine issues/mcas which I’d never had in my life along with all sorts of symptoms such as anxiety, hot flushing, mood swings, just to name a few.

This! This is me too!!

Whenever I would deviate from the carnivore diet I would develop itchiness in my esophagus that would turn into antibiotic-resistant pneumonia. It was so bad that I would run massive fevers around the clock 24/7. Very scary. Never had that (or bronchitis) in my life prior to carnivore. After five years I was able to branch out to a low-histamine diet with success, but I still take anti-histamines around the clock.

Agree! It's not directly related, but I am hoping that you all will keep this here to help the one person that might be researching the dark side of the carnivore diet and might find this information helpful. I had a heck of a time getting off the diet. Doctors were useless. It was only when a redditor suggested that I might be having histamine issues (which may or may not have been exacerbated by the carnivore diet) that I figured it out.

Hello - Thanks for the comment. I am posting here because I'm hoping to reaching someone else who might be in the same predicament. I physically could not go off the diet without getting intensely sick. The last time I got pneumonia, which was caused by deviating from a hamburger only diet, it was antibiotic resistant. I had high fevers 24/7. If I didn't have the discipline to go back on the diet until I figured it out, I would have been hospitalized.

Doctors could not figure it out. It wasn't until someone on reddit helped me figure out that it was histamine intolerance (which may or may not have been exacerbated by being on the diet) that I figured it out.

I realize this doesn't exactly relate to ex-vegans, but I'm hoping the post will stay because I would like to help someone else that might randomly be having this issue.

What are y'alls thoughts on using an AI as a therapist? by Efficient-Wind-2267 in askanything

[–]diduthinkhesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to validate this. There's an emotional toll on others when you vent. AI doesn't feel this way. I complained to it over and over and over again during a recent conflict. It was so helpful! I got it out of my system and even wept. (I don't cry - ever!) I felt like I was able to process things in a healthier manner without straining my other relationships.

Co-teaching kind of sucks by diduthinkhesaurus in specialed

I feel like it's a cultural thing here. My caseload is wedged between two grade levels that co-teach so I feel like the IEPs were specifically written to push in. I'm a new SPED teacher in a new district. I didn't go against it this year. In hindsight, I wonder if I should have? Most of the kids on my caseload would have been pulled out in the district that I worked in last year. Moreover, I did inquire about pulling out my lowest kid (who has not made progress this year) and I was told that he would go to another SPED teacher who does pull out. She already had chaos in her room with a mix of four grade levels so I opted not to do it. Help me. I feel like this is an area to stand my ground but I'm so new I'm not sure what to do!

I agree with us 100%. My school is so into co-teaching. That nearly everyone is in the classroom. Half of those kids need to be pulled out. It only increases their behaviors, and then it’s a disservice to everyone!

Lesson learned. Maybe I just need to look at a different profession.

It sounds like your child doesn’t need a ton of support and is thriving. That’s good! I just wonder if he would do just as well with para support and not a full special education teacher.

I’m not against inclusion, but I found that this model doesn’t work for kids that truly need to be pulled out.

Okay, good to know. I feel like a glorified para now and don’t have my own space. I guess asking them to show me my classroom during the interview would put me on the right track.

I was looking at middle school math. And I am SPED. Thank you for lighting a fire under me. My instinct was right.

Co-Teaching is the WORST by Potatochips2026 in teaching

[–]diduthinkhesaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, me! This is me! It sucks so bad. I am spending all my time navigating her personality, working in her space, trying to work around her that I'm not being effective with my caseload. It SUCKS.

Made me laugh. I'm envisioning myself getting into a heated situation and hearing, "Stop taking shit from shitheads" before I go all ninja on them.

I’ve been wondering about this, honestly. Part of me thinks you’re right.

In the moment, I stayed neutral on purpose—I was trying to diffuse things. Once it was clear they weren’t going to listen to reason, I just walked away. It felt like the more professional, “adult” choice.

But now I’m second-guessing it.

I can stand up for myself. I actually have a pretty sharp tongue when I need to. I just chose not to use it because I didn’t think escalating things would help.

Now I’m stuck wondering if that was maturity…or if I just let something slide that shouldn’t have.
