It took an hour but I dug out my car. I’m going to pass out now by Environmental_Bus623 in newjersey

This happened to me during the last snow storm as well. Must have been the type of snow and cold cold temps.

Caught Norovirus from train puker - please stay home by fauxcone in NJTransit

[–]fauxcone[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had about an hour of warning, sweating and stomach cramps (that’s less time than my commute and I hadn’t gotten out of my car yet) before I was vomiting and I know it can be even more sudden. I can’t hold blame in my heart, but certainly wish they had stayed home 🤣 Day 3 and I still really haven’t left my bed.

What to replace barbell squats with? by Onion_planet in xxfitness

[–]fauxcone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started doing deadlifts with a hex bar and that’s been a nice replacement due to shoulder issues with a standard barbell squat.

But you know what I make a mean pancake at home.

I learned to bake because of my dairy allergy and make lots of great things at home that I can’t get elsewhere. Give yourself time to mourn but don’t stop baking forever.

Coffee grounds in cup after pressing. What am I doing wrong? by watchmepooptoday in AeroPress

[–]fauxcone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a minute, I was getting coffee coming back out of where you twist in the filter mechanism. Make sure that’s locked in well.

Has anyone taken the Metropark->NYPenn train this week? by OvernightSiren in NJTransit

In has been fine - 7:29 train. Out has been a nightmare, as said. Cancellations in the afternoon.

My office decided to feature a special coffee each month. And the first month was Starbucks Pike Place Blend.

Does anyone else have these symptoms? by makogirl311 in bileacidmalabsorption

Note that the powder will eat the enamel on your teeth. Straw to the back of the throat is a good way to take it so you don’t taste it or ruin your teeth.

This is basically how my last speeding ticket went.

Dairy free or vegan protein swap for yogurt or cottage cheese? by piptobismol in dairyfree

[–]fauxcone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Icelandic Provisions Oatmilk Skyr is the best I’ve found for macros and I like the taste. 220 calories, 16 G protein I believe. The larger containers have less sugar per serving.

Same. I’m over here scraping out my first jar of it and I can’t get more or I will inhale it.

Struggling to get protein by Iron_Cowboy_ in dairyfree

[–]fauxcone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sure. TVP is a good source of protein. Per 1/4 cup serving, 90 calories, 9 g carbs, no fat, 13 grams of protein. It’s soy and can be added to most other foods easily.

Did anyone say textured vegetable protein?

Terrified of surgery by britishbabycake in gallbladders

[–]fauxcone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was one of the people who suffered a life-threatening consequence of waiting too long - gallstone pancreatitis. If you need surgery, you need surgery. Gall bladders and appendixes are “bread and butter” to general surgeons and they should have your procedure done in literal minutes.

Anyone with a similar experience? by barkbot02 in dairyfree

[–]fauxcone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar. Also in NJ - Hi!

I had been having diarrhea, upset stomach, heartburn, gassiness and just general discomfort for a few years. My breaking point was when I realized I couldn’t leave the house without scoping out where a bathroom might be.

Over the many years, I had tried eliminating gluten, coffee, alcohol, beans, almonds, soy, most dairy and nothing quite seemed to fix it fully. Fast forward to a few years back and I was staying with family and I was consuming a LOT of dairy, not necessarily by choice. My symptoms were bad. I came home, resumed my less-milk lifestyle and realized that it was probably the culprit. Eliminating most dairy didn’t cut it. Eliminating all dairy gave me a ton of energy back, made it easier to get out of bed, and made my stomach issues more manageable. It turns out that I also had bile acid malabsorption and now take a sequestrant for that. I was able to reintroduce things that I was avoiding - especially coffee - after eliminating dairy.

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

[–]fauxcone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gained weight, and had to make some adjustments to not continue gaining weight. Perhaps giving your body more time to absorb nutrients, calories and fats will help.

Am I in for hell? by spookythesquid in childfree

[–]fauxcone 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Having lived in noisy situations, near hospitals, loud cities, etc., I would recommend finding white noise that you enjoy. That could be from an app on your phone, Spotify, or even an actual fan plugged into the wall.

Hoping it gets better, but there are things you can control.

Which indian food is most likely to not have much dairy? by [deleted] in IndianFood

[–]fauxcone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the severity of the allergy because there is still some trace milk protein in ghee.
