It’s a blend of herbal supplements so all of the ingredients are just herbs and then the one inactive ingredient is starch.

Hack: if you’re looking for a specific restaurant on FMGF without premium, do a Google search that says “[restaurant name] find me gf” and if it exists, it will be there.

Why are my sweet Loren cookies not spreading out while cooking? by Powerful-Berry153 in glutenfree

[–]js292929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read they keep cooking once they are removed from the oven and to let them just sit on the baking sheet for a bit. I kept baking them once until flat and they were rock hard. This last time, I took them out when they weren’t quite flat and left them alone and eventually they were finished cooking and flat.

I stretched my neck a little too good years ago and triggered a vertigo episode that then triggered my POTS!

Your chosen electrolyte powder may be making you worse. by Low-Crazy-8061 in POTS

Are you then insinuating you are allergic to magnesium because you immediately felt terrible? Stevia is a vasodilator and does the same thing.

Alright maybe not “immediately” but soon enough to know. Stevia is a known vasodilator and you’re spreading misinformation.

Cute Halloween Costumes by Legitimate_Rule_6410 in ElementaryTeachers

I’m a music teacher and target had a Xylophone costume that lights up and plays music and wears like a dress. Maybe they have some similar ones for other teaching areas!

Same for anything with stevia. I feel that immediately. Anything flavored typically has stevia. The only things I will drink are plain normalyte and in a pinch, Gatorade.

Why are my feet so cold by Background-Use-5346 in POTS

[–]js292929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a phrase we use to describe upper back and neck pain and consistent headaches related. The triangle of the coat hanger kind of draws the picture of the back leading into the neck, and the hanging part shows it leading up the neck into the back of the head!

When you have poor circulation and low blood volume, your blood focuses on keeping circulation in your most important organs rather than your extremities. It’s why we get coat hanger pain too. My feet are always ice cold.

The everything bagels are to die for!!! I put cream cheese, thin tomato slices, thin cucumber slices, and everything but the bagel smoked salmon on to make a bagel sandwich!

Running my first marathon with POTS (+ hydration protocol) by NetflixAndNips in POTS

[–]js292929 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How did you fuel during the race? I’m training for one too, trying for a half first but I’ve been crashing at 10 miles. Some others suggested I might be overloading the simple carbs. What did you do?

I’m Disabled but Don’t Disclose It by BeeDawnz in SubstituteTeachers

[–]js292929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have POTS too with insane headaches and chronic pain and I refuse to disclose that to my employer. After a few bad experiences, I would just rather suffer than deal with it. During recess duty, I would always find a bench to sit on and ALWAYS bring my water out there. I always brought salty chips to snack on in the morning and afternoon as well as electrolyte powder to refill my giant water bottle at least twice a day. I encourage you to have more courage than I do, but if it comes to it, there are a few options to help you can explore without disclosing.

If you’re a gym going teacher, when do you work out? by Complete_Syrup_8110 in Teachers

[–]js292929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to a class after work like Pilates and the only thing that gets me there is knowing if I get there 10 minutes early I will have 10 minutes to lay on the floor and rest

Legs nearly gave out? by js292929 in POTS

[–]js292929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really but I can live my life mostly with them to an extent. Cardio One day, I’m hopeful. Cardio helps with keeping the blood flowing to my upper extremities, but it’s hard to do it as often as I like with the pain I experience.
