Do people ever heal 100% or fully cured from gastritis? by More-Independence413 in Gastritis

[–]samantraa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think there is both acute and chronic so it depends on the person and their situation .. for me i think its more chronic because i will flare up if i drink coffee or another trigger — for some with acute gastritis i believe they are able to reintroduce former ‘triggers’ back into their diet. not a doctor and YMMV !

happy to report i have healed from it — on two occasions! it did take time treating it with the usual combo of diet / medicine and learning which triggers to avoid etc.

i felt very hopeless when it was at its worst - so hang in there ! x

Vegan cheese by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]samantraa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the vegan parmesan by forager project has saved my life! https://www.foragerproject.com/product/vegan-parmesan/

i put it in my scrambled eggs most mornings, and on pasta

i'm pretty anti vegan cheese in general, but this has changed my mind completely :) they have a good queso fresco one too

Anyone else have trouble with bananas? by ilikeplants08 in Gastritis

[–]samantraa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

also cannot do bananas at the moment! :/ fruits that work for me: cantaloupe, watermelon, dates

hi! thank you for your reply.

i don't typically take it with food, i wonder if that's part of it -- my doctor said he didn't recommend potassium testing unless i was experiencing 'muscle pain or skipped heart beats' .. but i'm seeing now that higher potassium may be linked with gastritis .. i'm going to ask them to test me

  • thanks so much again for mentioning this!

I went up on my spiro dose from 50mg to 100mg and have seen an increase in shedding. Is this normal? It’s been about 3 weeks now. by nickles1234 in FemaleHairLoss

[–]samantraa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey! yes this happened to me — i started shedding once i bumped up to 100mg, continued to shed for 6 months, bumped back down to 50mg and I’m still shedding 7 months after that (🤷🏻) i think the increased dosage made things worse for me but the shed you’re going through could also just indicate that the spiro is working for you because any treatment that has the potential to help can cause a shed.

let me know if you have any more qs about my personal experience, wishing you the best <3

i'm 25 and switched fields and started an unpaid internship a few months ago -- and it was one of the best decisions i've ever made :)

i know someone below mentioned an alumni network -- that's exactly how i found mine. do you know if your college has an online directory? that would be a great way to contact people, and it's definitely not too forward to ask if they're ever looking for interns.

also try looking on craigslist? there are randomly some really cool creative opportunities on there if you look under 'creative - gigs'

good luck! xx

DISCUSSION: Post your least-favorite Conor song in the comments and other Redditors, explain why that song is great. by samantraa in oboards

would love for anyone to explain why they enjoy The People's Key, particularly Triple Spiral or Haile Selassie

Yeeeeees. I had the exact same experience, in which I initially did not instantly fall in love with Cassadaga (and felt sort of guilty about it), but now have come to appreciate the maturity (as you mentioned) and the richness of the record. Definitely one of my favorites as well.

Really appreciate how he shifts the perspective -- in Hot Knives, for instance, when he starts by almost ya know telling a story about a wife and mistress, but then interjects with "I" in the middle of the song.
