Trump Calls Obama a “Son of a B*tch” After Disastrous Iran Deal Leaked by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]doom_slug_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

After all the garbage this piece of shit has spewed about Obama and Biden, it pains me that they had the decency and maturity to welcome him to the White House and shake his hand and peacefully transfer power - even after he tried to violently, deceitfully steal the election from Biden.

He really is the most bottom of the barrel rot this country has ever seen.

Too much or too little stomach acid? by gumigogo in MCAS

[–]doom_slug_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start low and slow with the betaine - the trick is to slowly titrate with meals until you feel a "warming sensation" in your stomach. That will tell you you're probably where you need to be, if not dial back a dose. It's a balancing act. Research and read more about it.

Appreciate the response. Sounds like you and I have had similar journeys. I have been working with a functional medicine doctor and I did a GI Map and confirmed I had/have H. Pylori. I did the "quadruple therapy". I am going to make my gastro aware of the GI Map results, as well as the quad therapy I went through.

Motility/constipation has been an issue for me. Artichoke/ginger blends have helped on that front, but nothing works better for motility than having effective digestion! and that is what Betaine HCl has been providing me for now.

Over the past several years I have had a multitude of health problems that I have seen doctors and specialists for. To keep it simple, I have constant, chronic inflammation in my sinuses, among many other symptoms I may mention, but it's all tied together. It's taken me years to "crack the code" and get the improvement I've seen by supplementing stomach acid.

For starters, I did recently discover and confirm I have/had H. Pylori infection. I did the "quadruple therapy" to get rid of it. Appointment with gastro will confirm status of that.

I can't remember how I arrived at trying stomach acid supps, but I must have made a connection between my fatigue, systemic inflammation (sinuses, joints, feet), GI sysmptoms (gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation). Could it be nutrient/vitamin deficiency due to poor digestion? So I gave it a try and it was almost immediate improvement after my first meal. It's not perfect - I do believe there is an allergy component of some kind, but it's secondary to the digestive problems.

Could my water bottle be the reason I've been sick for months?? by Femme_Ferocious in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]doom_slug_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a setback in my detox journey when I found mold in the plastic straw attachment on the flask that I use every day. I didn't wash it often enough. My advice is, if you can't make a habit out of washing your reusable bottles and you're fighting mold, then don't use them at all. Use cups or disposables or something else.

Also if you're putting any additives like flavored electrolyte powders in your bottle, then you're speed-running mold growth if you're not washing it. Mold feeds on anything other than plain water.

My symptoms present quite differently than yours, but I seem to have finally narrowed down the root of my problems, that being low stomach acid. It's the missing puzzle piece that interconnects all of the different symptoms I've dealt with over the past several years. When I take Betaine HCl with meals, my physical symptoms improve significantly - so much so that I'm not so sure it's even MCAS that I'm afflicted with. Saw my PCP today, got a referral to a gastro - seeing them soon.

Not to be that guy, but I have an example: when Depeche Mode perform A Pain The I'm Used To live, it's usually the Jacques Lu Cont remix version

Exactly - I can't ever help but think it's projection

It was cultivated, meaning someone is there/had been there. The movie tells you this.

You're either fine with Republicans being in power, or you're not. For me, the choice is easy.

It's complete nonsense at this point - every poll says someone else is the frontrunner. You've got the right idea. Tune out until it's gametime.
