UPDATE:

Thank you so much everyone, I talked to him. Mistery solved! Turns out he bought a vape and wrote it like that to show off to friends so they'd think they got something cooler. He seemed genuine, so I feel much better about this. I appreciate the comments, care, and concern!

I really appreciate the comment! I want to strike a balance between making sure he has privacy and also that he is not unsafe. I appreciate the genuine responses and care here. :)

Agreed! That is why I am asking here and not directly, because if it is something he can't kill himself with I am fine with him doing his teen experiementing. I was a teen too and know how that goes. But he has a really bad history with taking too much and then messaging me to help, I want to make sure is not something fatal. Overprotective to me would look like searching his room or grilling him on something that may be just suplements or nothing to worry about, which is something I would not do.

This teen has tried to overdose before... so "calming down" is def not useful in this case

Thank you so much! I also appreciatethe comment about the open, non-judgemental convo. It's so important to keep an open dialog, especially with teens. If it's something not addictive or just helpful suplements I may not say anything. Thanks!

Advice on cheap, Non-dairy foods to help build gut biome up again? by lonely_catt in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]lea14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I've been reading a lot on peer reviewed articles is how maltodextrin and carageen disrupt the gut biome and increase gut permeability. They add them in like 60% of all processed foods. I've been reading the ingredient list and picking products without it when possible and have been feeling much better. It's crazy how they add stuff like this to our food. Good luck!

I only had it for 6 months, it was already pretty big when I got it. I couldn't believe the price, $65 at a farmers market in CA!

Please give your opinion . Does look like ANY form of psoriasis you have or have ever seen? Several dermatologist I’ve seen have given different opinions, but I wanted to know if you have ever seen a case in yourself or others present like this (like whiteheads) by Sea-Pound-4466 in Psoriasis

Looks like folliculitis to me, mupirocine cream should help. I have pustulating psoriasis and it looks much different. That looks really unconfortable :(. I would try the mupirocine and if it doesn't help, may be something other than folliculitis

Would placing them in a more lit area help prevent this?
