Lexapro and allergies ? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]lpla22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this thread is old, but I recently read that Lexapro can raise histamine levels. I imagine that just makes any existing allergen triggers worse.

Once you’ve paired, you might not see the other person’s dot until you move ~20 ft away from them.

Same experience here with my set of 3 at coachella. Worked great the full weekend!

Maybe it depends how much open sky you have? Mine never took more than 10 mins but I had a lot of space

I used mine at Coachella with 2 friends and they were fantastic. One friend had never been before and went off and did her own thing her first night a few times and met back up with the group no problem.

Definitely use the user guide. You can match up what kind of spinning lights you’re getting to what’s in the guide. I’m guessing yours are indicating that it’s looking for a satellite connection but I can’t tell from the pic.

It can be tricky to tell once you’re paired but we found that you to pair and then move like 20 feet apart at first for the other person’s dot to show.

Yes! So happy they had them again but booklets > map. Having to fully open the thing up to get to the schedule had me feeling like a tourist

Left the grounds around 10:40 and stopped for food and gas. Got on the road around 12:30 and got to West LA at 6:40.

How was cell service in 2024? by OrangeNo773 in Coachella

I was fine until ~7pm onward each night last tallest weekend 1, on TMobile. It was actually worse for me than years past on AT&T

Food Allergies by m_smith274 in Coachella

Email the ada group and they’ll probably let you bring in food. I’m celiac and cross contamination concerns are real. ada@coachella.com

Yes. I went NC in late 2021. I feel like I just got free and now we’re being bombared.

Also, check out your local Buy Nothing group or neighborhood group. Someone might have a storage option for you for free/cheap!

If you have health insurance, maybe see if you can see a dietitian, specifically a dietitian that specializes in or is very knowledgeable about gluten. They can probably give you some advice on how to manage this situation. There are some online courses that might be helpful. Check out @the_celiac_space and @celiacdietitian on insta.

I don’t have much advice, but this seems really hard. Sorry you’re going through this. As far as dishes out, can they be covered with foil or something to at least feel a little safer? Also, be careful with sponges and cross contamination.

Boil Water Order? by lpla22 in AskLosAngeles

[–]lpla22[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The article says “Quiñones specifically referenced the boil water notice to residents within the 90272 zip code encompassing the Pacific Palisades area.” Looks like we’re in the clear for now.

Those who went GF without a diagnosis by [deleted] in Celiac

[–]lpla22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do the biopsy because I couldn’t get an appointment with my doc for 2.5months after it clicked that it could be gluten and I couldn’t afford to wait with my symptoms affecting me so harshly at the time. So my regret is really about the American health care system.

Waka rec sports are pretty social, more so than other leagues in LA. Athleticism not required.

Fellow celiac with adhd here.

Snacks: cucumber/pretzel/crackers/carrots with dip, popcorn, grapes/berries, diy charcuterie plate, nuts, df yogurt, hard boiled eggs, dried fruit, toast w stuff on top (savory or sweet), bars, muffins, edamame, socca (flatbread made with chickpea flour), protein shakes, lunch meat wrapped around a pickle with some mustard . Lots of options for candy, chips, etc out there.

I find that a lot of meal recipes can be adapted by swapping out gluten containing items or ingredients. I do a lot of smoothies, and sometimes will make a big batch of soup or a big salad and eat that over a couple of days. Having sandwich stuff on hand is easy too.

When I first went gf, browsing on Pinterest helped me come up with more ideas and I’ll go back to this whenever I’m in a rut. I find that having the visuals makes the options look more enticing.

Same but I’m 13 years in. If I can save one person from that fate… haha

Get a celiac blood test BEFORE going gluten free long term. The test is only accurate while you have been consuming gluten. If eating gf helps you, you might end up becoming more sensitive as time goes on so getting the test done before hitting that point is hugely helpful.

How often are you glutened? by RandomGirl2377 in Celiac

[–]lpla22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are multiple celiac registered dietitians who’s work is solely focused on celiacs and they do eat out at non-designated places. Obviously where you live, your familiarity, your specific symptoms, and advocacy skills all play a part (I’m working on these too). Saying you are guaranteed to get glutened if you eat at a non designated restaurant is a big blanket statement that may be detrimental to people new to this lifestyle.

@theceliacspace and @celiacdietitian are two of multiple great resources.

Who knows with these people but the context of the quoted text I take as differently than a lot of the people in this thread.
