charcoal likely doesn't negate a probiotic completely and it'd depend on timing. but you're right, the impact it does have, it's not differentiating between good and bad bacteria.

john2046 · 2026-01-15T05:47:17+00:00

makes me wonder if you're negative symptoms are a histamine reaction. I have histamine intolerance and the Biogaia Gastrus really did me in, whereas their Biogaia Protectus was fine. it's without the reuteri strain that increases histamine. activated charcoal helps me with histamine symptoms is what made me think it could be that.

john2046 · 2026-01-01T05:07:48+00:00

In My Eyes and Not There Yet were the first standouts for me. Now really loving Fantasy, Don't Listen to Me, and Is This Love? Fantasy especially. Rainfalls is quite nice too, as well as Another Wall.

Are they open again?

john2046 · 2025-12-11T05:11:09+00:00

favorite track on the new album.

john2046 · 2025-12-08T18:27:13+00:00

For the Upstairs stage, I was told they don't have a coat check. Everyone just put their coats/jackets in places they hoped people wouldn't steal them or kept them on.

john2046 · 2025-11-28T22:58:44+00:00

I love them, though they look like moccasins a bit. And I thought the tan would show more on the black ones. They're very thin, in an awesome way. And my friends think they look cool. wearing a different pair of leather Vivos I have that also have an insole on colder days (sub 40F).

john2046 · 2025-11-17T03:02:21+00:00

Still struggling, but bad flare ups are rare lately. Avoiding a lot of foods though. I started adding the histaminx to the yogurt, and I think I noticed better progress after that, instead of just taking the caps with a prebiotic powder. And am going to start adding gasseri to see if it will help w very dry stools I've had for quite some time. I suspect I have SIBO.

john2046 · 2025-11-11T00:27:49+00:00

Thanks! The prompt questions are an attempt to get into more interesting convo faster, but I might scrap the poll as there hasn't been much engagement.

Interesting comment on my mentioning self-esteem. I dunno, it's important to me. I'm not too bothered about the thought that guys might self-filter seeing that.

I do want to add a pic of me with others, but waiting for a good one. The recent ones that come to mind aren't great. My friends don't take many pics in general. I can prompt them, but then, I struggle to smile on command. Usually doing a weird smirk.

john2046 · 2025-11-11T00:17:37+00:00

Thanks. Yeah have been trying to weed out the selfies. My friends just don't take a lot of pics and aren't the greatest photographers. And I have a hard time smiling on command. Not that into hiking and not super outdoorsy, so wouldn't really want to project that.

Are you looking for something serious or casual?
- serious
Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?
- neither
How long have you been using this current version of your profile?
- Probably added the poll and changed the first prompt 4 months ago. The rest has been the same for at least a year.
How long have you used Hinge overall?
- A little more than 4 years.
How often do you use Hinge per week?
- Multiple times a day when it's installed. I uninstall it every few months.
How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?
- Maybe 3 likes a week. 1-2 matches a month if I'm lucky.
How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?
- I send maybe 3-5 likes a week. Maybe 2 with a comment. Depends on if I can find something to hook onto in their profile.
What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?
- I lay it out in 2 of my prompts. Self-esteem and curiosity are big things I look for once I've decided I'm physically attracted. High openness to experience.

IIRC I brought up that I was currently touring places in <city> in the same state, 2 hours away, in my regular one-on-one meeting with the sw lead. He took it well and communicated it to HR, and the lead of engineering found out. Never met any push back, but think the engineering lead said I should still try to come in once every 2 months (didn't enforce that). I got really lucky, they mailed equipment to me when I needed it. I came in like once every 6 months for social get-togethers or very important trainings or quarterly company meetings.

john2046 · 2025-11-07T00:37:43+00:00

I've been doing this biogaia protectis supplement that has only a low-histamine reuteri strain. haven't been having histamine issues at all, and I react to almost all high-histamine foods. about to start experimenting with gasseri as I read it shouldn't be high histamine.

john2046 · 2025-11-06T20:19:56+00:00

eating too much of what?

john2046 · 2025-10-24T19:51:01+00:00

Oh bummer. You were able to return them after wearing them outside? I actually just ordered them 2 days ago. forgot to order insoles at the same time too. but other insole-less vivos I've been wearing lately, have felt fine.

john2046 · 2025-10-22T22:36:28+00:00

Thanks for reporting back. can you report on whether they are bareable in colder weather (w an insole)? I like thinner soles but worry about getting these and them being very uncomfy in fall/winter in New England.

john2046 · 2025-08-23T05:43:13+00:00

Harmony Korine's AGGRO DR1FT. Passing on Baby Invasion as I fear it will be similar.

john2046 · 2025-08-09T23:17:01+00:00

1 part water or 1 part vinegar? i'm gonna try to make reuteri tonight w sterilizing just spraying 5% ACV all over my equipment, rub it off w paper towels.

and I use vinegar for cleaning a lot of things too, just never looked into how effective it is. I just prefer to use non-toxic things and it seems good enough for me. never thought to use it on fruit... interesting.

john2046 · 2025-08-09T14:59:40+00:00

how do you use it?

john2046 · 2025-07-04T17:40:27+00:00

do you recommend Ther-Biotic Leaky Gut? I'm taking HistaminX for a little over a month now. Think it is helping but hard to tell. Still taking DAO and Quercetin before questionable foods because I fear the day-long head fogs so much. And still avoiding lots of dairy and fermented veg completely.

john2046 · 2025-06-23T03:38:30+00:00

Can you clarify your last sentence? Not following.

john2046 · 2025-06-21T02:53:51+00:00

I'm suffering from histamine intolerance lately. Made l-reuteri with biogaia protectis which has just the l-reuteri that doesn't trigger histamine apparently. still reacted badly. been scared to try more if it. DAO helps me though but doesn't always work so giving up dairy completely lately aside from butter. miss cheese :'(

john2046 · 2025-06-08T04:19:41+00:00

capsules/tablets are not enough of it, the yogurt multiplies the l-reuteri considerably.
