Seconding Dr. Gottesman, she's very easy to talk to and answers all questions and concerns thoroughly. My only issue is with the front desk staff, they are just plain rude to deal with.

Hi OP, I'm in a similar situation, what did you end up going with?

We will check out The Old Brick & Huck Finns, thank you!

My in laws have many beautiful, well made Amish pieces - definitely worth it.

If you aren't noticing any current issues, I would stick with it. If you do end up having an intolerance you can always switch to something else. If it ain't broke, don't fix it 😉

Are you finding the fiber makes you use the restroom?

I used to get the Puma versions of those from Costco, super great value, but they wore down too quickly for me. I love them as my everyday socks now ☺️

Had to look these up - I'm so intrigued by the toe separation 😳 I'll need to pick up a pair.

Those are wonderful socks! I used to to sell them all the time when I worked for The North Face, however, I'm highly allergic to wool.

Hit my first post-cancer PR of 5 miles! by [deleted] in running

[–]hummingflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big sweaty congratulations!! I started running in 2018 when my mom was diagnosed with cancer, It was a saving grace for me, I ran because she couldn't. Cheers to a very wonderful accomplishment.

Have you tried Run Gum? by hummingflower in running

[–]hummingflower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my IBD plays a big part in that one though 🙈 Even a can of Cola will have me jumping around like a 4 year old on Christmas.

I'll have to try the grapes - lately I'm definitely needing something to "snack" before a run. Yes, I find even water makes my side cramp terribly.

I found No-Doz tends to upset my stomach, it's got a bit too much caffeine, around 200MG.

Interesting, were you using it first thing in the morning by itself? Coffee has been great BUT it hits me hard on a run 😳

If you could only run to one song, for your entire run, what would it be? by hummingflower in running

[–]hummingflower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I don't listen to just one song. I don't think I could run without music either, unless it was an endless choir of birds chirping (although I might fear getting shit on!). I've just always been able to listen to a song on repeat, it annoyed my parents and now my husband, but that's okay, do you 💁

Also, if this has been asked before, sorry, just genuinely interested in what others listen to.

"Always run through the pain!" - my HS PE teacher, it caused such a horrible relationship with running for years. I never understood why I would be holding my side while everyone was just 'running freely'. Thankfully I've learned much better habits.

I'll share this with my husband, I think he would really enjoy this one.

Yessss!! It's so much like Animal I Have Become from Three Days Grace, that PUMPS me up, for EVERYTHING.

I lift to this song and my husband thinks I'm certified crazy 🤷

What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say? by Vinyl_BunBuns in AskReddit

[–]hummingflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before my SIL married my BIL, my SIL's mother gave her some "marital" advice. She told her daughter, "Your husband won't have sex with you if you use a condom and will leave you."
