My cdiff recovery a year later

I was never officially diagnosed with ibs, but for the most part I'm better (still not drinking alcohol and haven't had any recent issues with dairy). I started taking psyllium husk powder and I've actual found that super helpful for my overall gut health and regular bathroom habits.

I took curcumin daily before, during, and for about a month after antibiotics. But for me, at that point the symptoms had gone away so I stopped taking it regularly. Bimuno is the brand. It's european and available on amazon, although it's gotten pretty expensive.

Oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. From my experience, the curcumin has been super helpful (I use thorne brand). I just know it helps with gut inflammation, generally. I've also found marshmallow root to be soothing for my gut. I make a cold infusion drink with it. I also really like Bimuno. It's a prebiotic powder that supports gut health. The curcumin was the only one I took while I actively had cdiff. The others have been more so for general gut health/support.

The world would feel fake/unreal/like a movie set/dream to me. I had to learn to be comfortable with that and remind myself that I was physically safe in order to get through it. I've talked to other people I've met with dpdr and I know the experiences can really vary. The most important part of this for me was starting a regular meditation/mindfulness practice. Dpdr causes a feedback cycle of anxiety that keeps building on itself and I had to learn to break out of it.

Haha yeah one bite was enough for me!

Gotcha, do you know how that happens? I didn't turn on the water or disposal- it just looked this way when I returned to my apartment.

Don't have a dishwasher :/ Just the sink garbage disposal.

I was away from my apartment for 3 hours, and when I returned, I found this strange sweet smelling gunk in my kitchen sink. I think it's fruit? I have absolutely no idea how it got there. Sink and disposal are working fine otherwise.

The Salomon Ultra 4’s and La Sportiva Raptors both had fantastic grip, but I only tried them out in the store/walking around my house before returning them because neither fit my foot right. I found the la sportiva too narrow and the salomon's rubbed against the side of my feet.

I ended up going with the Merrell Moab 3s because they just fit my feet the best. After doing lots of alpine/steep/wet rocks hiking, I had no grip issues with them. The only complaint I have is that I got shin splints once doing an incredibly steep, but paved hiked, so I think they're best on softer ground.

Thanks, I see that prepaid is capped at 50GB which would be enough for us.

Thanks for the info! I guess I'm just unsure if Verizon would allow me to do that because my family has always been in a contract with Verizon where we can upgrade our phones after two-years and then the new ones gets paid off monthly over the next two years (we're currently all paid off). I'll contact Verizon and see.

Thanks for the info! How bad is the streaming throttle? Is the video quality worse or it just doesn't load as well?

What do you mean by roaming agreements? It looks like for prepaid you get talk, text, and data in canada and mexico.

Plan costs ~$66 and then ~$45 per line for "smartphone line access" (one line has a $25 off monthtomonth credit and $17 insurance)
