Here you go.
Bromelain makes your baby batter taste like pineapple.
FYI you can buy caffeine pills .
Anytime I comment this there's always somebody that wigs out, so let me get this out the way. It's the same caffeine that's in sodas or coffee, just in pill form. Literally the same thing.
Most bottles , one pill will be around the same caffeine is in one cup of coffee.
Here's an example . 100mg of caffeine per pill, there's 95 in a cup of coffee (as Google says).
I work 3rd shift, I try and avoid caffeine all together, but use these on days I need the help to stay awake.
Skip the sugary drinks for caffeine
Bromelain, it is pineapple in a pill. Have him take it once a day and his cum will taste sweet in about a week. It worked for me and my GF and if you search for it on here, you will find more success stories.
L-theanine. The linked brand and dosage (x2) is what I take to counteract any hangover induced anxiety. Works pretty well. Sometimes after 12 hours or so I take one or two more and life's good. A single dose of GABA on top of that will even make it so I can get a nap in. I am not a doctor and for all I know this could kill you or even me the next time I do it, but from what I've read the dosage that I am working with in the timetable I'm using is nothing groundbreaking. Also, I should be clear, I am not saying to take these things when you are still drunk, that is probably a bad idea. I'm not saying to take them at all, I have just found that they work for me.
I LOVE gummy bears and missed them terribly on keto...until I found sugar-free fiber gummies. I use a regular multivitamin and have two of these as a "treat." They're two net carbs per two gummies (the picture on Amazon says they're zero carb, but the actual bottle says two. Here's an amazon link for them: https://www.amazon.com/vitafusion-Fiber-Gummies-Count-Sugar/dp/B004QHLDOK/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1475030352&sr=8-4&keywords=gummy+fiber
Here. It's what makes pineapple give your cum a different flavor. One a day works for me.
>Is it a terrible idea to take a laxative and drink mostly water and protein for a day to kind of "cleanse" (read: push all the shit out so to speak)?
this is useless, just add fiber to your diet for intestinal health. I use this. abd anything would work tho.
RAW is: everything except suits + knee wraps.
RAW+ : everything except suits
as /u/lottrbist_ said there are some specifications for the equipment to be considered raw. sbd and rehband sleeves both satisfy those specifications.
Hey all! Some of y’all may have saw my older post, so it’s a pleasure to come back in only just two weeks with some progress. I’ve had a shift in routine since then. What you see is flat red marks, and just two raised bumps.
First of all, I’d like to thank those that recommended Azelaic acid because holy moly I think it made a big difference. And I also feel the same about the benzoyl peroxide contact therapy. There was a point where I dropped my BHA and AHA and just used Melazepam morning and night for a few days, but then I learned that you get the same results just using it once a day. I now alternate my BHA and AHA in the evenings.
Another thing I started was taking Spearmint Capsules! I haven’t been taking them long enough to say they’re working, but I will say that I’m thankful another breakout hasn’t tarnished my progress again yet. (Knock on wood)
I actually haven’t visited the derm like many recommended because I really wanted to try the spearmint capsules first to see if they could control my hormonal acne alongside my BC. If my skin foils me again, I’m off to the derm for sure.
Another oral product I’m taking is this women’s vaginal probiotic. Even though it’s targeted towards women’s health, it contains probiotic strains beneficial for targeting acne according to Simple Skincare Science.
Lastly, I definitely prefer Skinlex’s formulation of niacinamide over TO’s. There’s really nice beneficial ingredients, and it’s only $13.60!
Routine:
AM:
• Dr. Song’s 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide gel when I wake up (wait for ten minutes and then wash off)
• Vanicream Gentle Cleanser
• Melazepam (20% Azelaic acid cream)
• Habo Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream mixed with a couple pumps of Skinlex 2% Alpha-Arbutin Serum (includes Niacinamide and MAP Vitamin C)
• Cerave in the tub
• Biore UV bright milk SPF 50+ (pink bottle)
PM:
• Remove makeup with Kose softymo speedy cleansing oil
• Vanicream Gentle Cleanser
• alternate nights between stridex in the red box and 10% Mandelic acid serum
• Habo Labo Skin plumping gel cream mixed with the Skinlex 2% Alpha-arbutin
• Cerave in the tub
Every other night:
• De la Cruz 10% Sulphur ointment (apply to face and wash off after 15 min)
Weekly:
• MUAC 40% mandelic acid chemical peel
• After my chemical peel, I’ll add a couple pumps of Skinlex 10% Niacinamide serum to my Habo Labo skin plumping gel cream instead of using the 2% Alpha Arbutin
> I've never seen anything convincing that shows you can make yourself taste "sweeter," though it's easy to make yourself taste garlicky or oniony.
I take Bromelain [http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Bromelain-2400Gdu-500mg-Vcaps/dp/B000I2028A]; its basically ground pineapple fruit/stem in pill/powder. My partners have said it made me (31/m) much sweeter.

The benefits far outweigh the downsides. The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids for the average person is roughly 15-to-1. Lower ratios are linked to many health benefits [Simopoulos].
That said if you're going to supplement (rather than just eat more fish), do your research and buy a quality brand. Check EPA and DHA content to make sure you're not buying something that's mostly filler. Also, if you're worried about side effects—and possibly absorption rate—find a brand in natural triglyceride form rather than synthetic ethyl esters. NurtaSea and Nordic Naturals are two good options. For the most part, you get what you pay for. Good brands generally aren't cheap.
Psyllium husk is a lifesaver. Take 2 spoonfuls every day and you'll have the perfect poos. Even after a day of beer and fast food I didn't have any problems.
I got this huge thing of psyllium husks for only $16 and it lasts for months on end.
This stuff will change your life.

A little of this for maintaining healthy vaginal flora might be a good start http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
How about caffeine pills?

>we can get EPA from ALA, but the DHA necessity is pretty much unknown
Plus, if it was determined that DHA supplementation was necessary, there are vegan DHA supplements (fish get it from algae and so can we!).
actually no, I was referring to a natural supplement that you can buy at whole foods...

I believe the Gabbapentin has to be prescribed.
I definitely think if you stopped in January, with beginning to try in May, your system should be clear.
I like to do a natural detox about everything 3 months (when the seasons change), for 3-5 days. You could add several different types of detoxing after you quit smoking to really, really clean up.
I add a spoonful each of bentonite and psyllium husk to a glass of cranberry juice. (It can be any juice, but cranberry is strong - to mask out weird tastes - and it's known for being "good" for feminine issues. And I love the taste.) It's super sugary though, and cutting sugars is a good part of a detoxing, so I'd water it down. Mix everything up well with a spoon, and drink up.
You could also add Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) into your life, if you haven't be acquainted already. It's amazing.
It's can be crazy disgusting at first, but the results are wild. It will absolutely impact your:
It's recommended before you eat in the morning and/or afternoon. A shot every morning will start to make changes within a day. Do half a shot to start, mixed with water. You'll want a chaser of at least more water, if not something juice to get that taste out of your mouth.
I used to do this as part of a healthy weight loss plan. It helped with my appetite and digestion, and honestly gave me a lot of diarrhea. I realized I was just taking too much, so cut back, and it now really helps if I'm ever constipated. You will likely really want natural and safe ways to help with constipation with your preggers. You will likely be crazy constipated often.
Lastly, a actual "detox" kit is always good. These are my 2 favorites, but there are more out there that are good. Inner Cleanse is the cheaper (1/2 the cost), and it's gentle. Like ACV, it can cause diarrhea. Read and follow the directions.
The other one is Raw Cleanse. It's more complicated and I found it pretty gross, but if you can stomach the process (or find a middle ground with it, like adding juice), it's quite effective. Both of these kits are different, but their ingredients have detoxing elements that nothing else so far has offered.
Also, I recommend drinking kombucha at least weekly. IMHO, this is one of the best brands for kombucha (besides locally made goodness). There are a few other brands that are good, but watch our for the sugar.
So, if it's not apparent by now, all of these detoxing, in some way, stimulate you to ultimately poop a lot. Trying all these different ways of detoxing will not only detox you up, but you can find one detox that you prefer, and then do that one occasionally. I do a super big detox, as in all the things described above combined, maybe every 18. mos - 2 years, and then just one of those (cranberry juice blend or detox pills) every ~3 months.
Hope this helps! Congrats on planning a family. <3

Thank me later when you have no wipers everyday at the same exact time whether you're on an all whey protein or all beef jerky diet.
Use Whole Psyllium Husks. 2 Tablespoons, mix it in water, drink it. Every poop will be a ghost poop.
OP PLZ!
Here. Try this.
Completely, late to the party. I recommend taking probiotics! It fixed my constipation! I have a cup of homemade butter milk and also take these probiotics:
PRO-15 Advanced Strength Probiotics recommended by /u/cyanocobalamin
Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS buy cool ship
I use this supplement and just take one pill at night, I’m assuming similar pills would have similar effects though.
One which i can recommend from my own personal experience is Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural. I was having some digestion problems. i was recommended this and after much research settles with it. And glad I did. I will attach a link so you can check it out:
https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Probiotics-Women-Lactobacillus-Saccharomyces/dp/B07KFPCCLP
I had the same reaction when I did that math. Eye-opening, to say the least.
For the smoothie, you can mix it up, but I go with this basic scheme every day:
1-2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder
1-2 tablespoons of ground flax meal
a handful of fresh spinach (trust me, you won't taste it, but it adds a LOT of nutrients)
a cup or so of frozen fruit of your choice. I have used almost everything I can find: pineapple, banana, strawberries, blueberries, apples, pears, peaches, etc. If I can't find it frozen, I buy a bunch of whatever fruit is on sale, cut it up and freeze it myself.
Fill it up with a liquid of your choice to make sure it blends well - I use unsweetened vanilla flavored almond milk because it's low calorie and I'm trying to lose weight, but I've also tried orange juice, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other such things. You can use whatever liquid you want though.
And that's it. Blend it up into smoothie form and enjoy. One caveat: drink/eat it quickly and with a glass of water - the psyllium husk absorbs a ton of liquid and it can be a little thicker than you want if you let it sit for more than 20-30 minutes. The fiber takes up volume in your stomach as it absorbs water, it keeps you ahem regular, and everything in the recipe is so nutrient dense that it gives your body a lot to chew on, so to speak. A lot of the ingredients for these smoothies come off of this list the ANDI scale which is a rough guide to how much nutrition you get per calorie out of certain foods. Higher scores = more nutrient density = higher efficiency diet.
Disclaimer: if it works for you, awesome! If not, try something else, or meet with a nutritionist. I used the advice of a health counselor service I get through work, but if you go to any Whole Foods, you can schedule an appointment with their "healthy eating specialist" for free, and they can be remarkably helpful.
I'm not going to judge your relationship like the other commenters, but if you want to try to make his cum better you can buy Bromelain supplements online, which is pure pineapple and should make him taste better. One a day, and with food. Cheers.
Fiber can be beneficial for some IBS sufferers - I'm not claiming otherwise.
What I don't like is this company using religion to push it's absurdly overpriced fiber. I don't know exactly what capsule size they're using, so I'll assume size 0 (most common). Size 0 will hold around half a gram, depending.
These thieves sell a 270 capsule bottle for 149$. In other words, approximately 135 grams of fiber at $1.10 per gram.
Now let's compare another brand - 500 capsules at 500 mg each, 250 grams of fiber. Cost is $13.99, or $0.05 per gram.
That's not even the cheapest: if you get plain bulk powder not in capsules, 680 grams for $11.99, or a bit under $0.02 per gram.

I used to, then I started drinking metamucil every day and have been great ever since.
The bathroom after sex is a big one. If she hasn't done this previously that may be where it started. Also, for the yeast infections start a targeted probiotic like this. This will help over time and should be a part of her routine until her PH balances, switch to scent free soap, laundry detergents, cut down on sugars, alcohol, really anything that yeast thrives on.
Remind her to NEVER douche, or even wash her vagina, it's self cleaning and these things further unbalance her natural PH.
More importantly note that this woman is having sex with you and it hurts her. Take a break from sex. Don't be selfish (not accusing you).
It concerns me that you're not phrasing it "what CAN I do?"...
That's my 2¥ on her health. She should also speak to a new doctor and research the topic independently. Reddit is not a place for medical advice. (Right?)
Getting started will cost a bit of money.
So to make it lactose free, you need to buy a normal gallon of whole milk that is pasteurized. NOT ULTRA-PASTEURIZED. It will say on the carton if its ultra pasteurized or just plain pasteurized. I've never seen any lactose free milk that is not ultra pasteurized. If you use ultra pasteurized milk, the cheese will not form correctly. So now you have a gallon of pasteurized milk and your lactase drops. I put twice what they say on the bottle into the milk (it says 5 drops per liter (about 4 liters per gallon), so I use 40 drops for a gallon of milk). I don't use it until two days after I put the drops in (instead of the 12-24 hours they say on the package). I also shake up the milk every time I'm at the fridge just to make sure it distributes evenly. Two days after treating the milk you can follow the normal recipe.
I also take 4-5 of these pills when eating the cheese even though it probably is not necessary. I'd rather swallow a dollars worth of pills than risk ruining my day.
Only problem is that the cheese doesn't seem to melt very well.
Elimination diet would be a good thing to try.
I experienced something similar recently and these are what help me:
https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Saccharomyces-Boulardii-Intestinal-Digestive/dp/B0013OVW0E?th=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTCATS4/
White rice, watery fruits (no bananas & dates), cheese, romaine lettuce, curry powder, and avocados are the main things I've found to be safe. Apple juice fasting also helps me a ton. Olive oil had significant effects as well.
Iron can feed pathogens, so try avoiding foods with it.
So I've read. As far as I can tell, that belief is based entirely on a single study of mice and rabbits (unfortunately I can't access it). It strikes me as remarkably-odd, considering the plethora of human users like myself who have experienced very real effects, both positive and negative.
I'm no stranger to inert supplements...and GABA was most certainly not one of them for me. Unlike many others, though, I experienced decidedly-negative effects, including extreme irritability and exhaustion (yep, it put me to sleep...but not nearly as kindly as Phenibut!)
Medical science is really such a perplexing field at times... :P
L-Theanine
As others have said keeping her on the light side weight wise is really important, not malnourished or anything but light. I have all mine taking Glucosamine (this one from Amazon is what I buy ) and salmon oil. For me there was a definite difference in my older dog after he started it and it certainly can't hurt to start early. The orthopedic beds are great especially if you catch one on sale. I've gotten great deals at Petsmart before during holiday sales on really big ones. Or if you find a good deal on one you can cut up a foam mattress topper and diy a bed. I got some at Target super cheap and stuffed them into old dog bed covers I had.
And while I love reddit some of the best places for info on this kind of stuff are breed based forums.
Hey! OK. I'll try to give you some insight!
(I'm also detoxing right now, as i'm also job hunting. Yay for us ;)
Are you using anything to help you detox, aka pills or fiber or something?
Here's what I use: (and it's all natural)
Detox Pills
OR
Ultimate Cleanse
For these next two, what I do is mix them together in a glass of cranberry juice in the morning and at night, following the directions on the label of starting small and slowly increasing the amount. For short periods (which I would do right at the beginning, for a few days) you can do use the bentonite like 5 times a day (so use it without the pysllium in the afternoon), then cut back to once in the morning, once at night again.
Bentonite
Pysllium
Both of these combined = a lot of fiber and cleansing. You may get constipated, you may be pooping a lot. I wouldn't recommend doing them both for the first time, at the same time. Try the bentonite and psyllium first, do it for 5 days or so, then the pills.
Hope this helps girl!
I don't want to scare you with any of this but I with someone had told me these things.
Swelling can be terrible but will not be bad if you get on top of it right away. Don't wait till the next day, start that evening with ice packs. For swelling have frozen bags of peas on-hand for the first day as well as small nugget or crushed ice for later. I liked to use quart size baggies filled with ice with a paper towel between the bag and my face. Keep the pressure off your nose for the first few days, just hold it along side on the cheeks and forehead. The more you ice the less pain meds you need.
Take ibuprofen for swelling/pain every 4 to 6 hours the first few days (check with you Dr. and make sure he approves). Mine said he'd rather me take that then narcotics for pain. Also takeBromelain Arinica Montana for swelling and start about 3 days before the surgery and keep taking them for several weeks. You can use the pills or cream Arinica to help with bruising/swelling. I used both. You will be bruised and it will be 10 to 14 days before it's all gone. About day 10 you can go in public with foundation and not attract attention. Compared to the other girls that were with me and had the same surgery I looked much much better much quicker and I think it was the use of these.
Expect a lot of bleeding out your nose. It's normal and expected for the first week. Also have some saline nasal spray on hand. You use it to irrigate the nose several times a day the first couple of weeks and then you are suppose to keep you nose moist for the first 6 weeks. I went through about a dozen bottles the first 2 months.
The best day ever is around day 5 when the packing comes out. During surgery your surgeon will pack you sinus and nasal passages with gauze to hold the shape and control bleeding. It feels millions of times better when all that is pulled out. They will remove it in the office and it's scary but really does not hurt much. The tape removal will be worse but still nothing you can't handle. Just be sure you have taken ibuprofen recently (if allowed).
Be ready for a long period of swelling on your nose. At first it will look huge. It took about 5 months for mine to lose all the swelling. Also the scar along the hairline will look 10 times worse than it is and will heal fairly quickly. The first few days will be a blur if you take narcotics for pain, I took Ibuprofen for pain and it was never worse than a bad headache but the girls that use the hard narcotics always seem to have more pain and a longer recovery. I was up and around the next day and by day 4 could go out had I wanted to (but didn't for 2 weeks).
You can't wear glasses or sunglasses for a few weeks and you also want to keep you scars out of the sun.
Feel free to ask anything else. Good luck!
I take the recommended dose every morning. But I would start out with 1 tablespoon to a good pint of water or juice. Do that for a week and then kick up to 2 tablespoons.
From time to time I won't take it for about a week or two just to let everything go back to normal.
These images should give you and idea of what it's about.
I order it from Amazon. But word from the wise, don't waste your time or money with the pills or anything else. Brand is your own choosing, but always make sure it is "Whole Husk". There are also other supplements that I have heard people having better success with as well.
algae http://www.amazon.com/Deva-Vegan-Omega-3-Algae-Vcaps/dp/B000V8BD4S
This is really the only concern. I take a multivitamin and an Omega-3 supplement every day. As long as you're eating a good variety of foods, you shouldn't have anything to worry about besides B12.
It's not a flavoring or syrup per se, it's a fiber supplement. Here's an Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013I1H9G You can probably find a cheaper generic brand at any grocery store near you.
I've ordered it from amazon a few times now - this kind works wonders for me and isn't very pricey. If you have Prime, it ships free too.
You might try carrying some dairy digest enzymes with you, too. Lactase and maybe some other digestive enzymes. Papaya enzymes are very cheap and they work for me sometimes when I get similar symptoms. Sometimes dairy can be a bad trigger for me, usually with enzymes it's not. Eating dairy is usually no big deal, sometimes dairy plus cold air will trigger an attack. The enzymes seem to blunt the reaction a lot. I also had allergy testing (which put me into anaphlaxis, not good!) but dairy didn't show up as being something I'm allergic to. It's still a trigger for me though.

Yes, here is the probiotic I was taking that I suspect is the issue and here is the yeast based one that I don't think is the culprit as I'd been taking it for a while before starting the aforementioned one. I started taking these supplements to kind of re-balance my system as I also was taking Sovereign Silver daily to help with acid reflux and possible SIBO... I REALLY regret doing any of this right now. Was a bit too cavalier about my microbiome.

It’s a neurotransmitter supplement. You actually get a little tingly just for like 10-15 Min. GABA is the same thing that Benzos mess up bit helps.

Ignore what it says on the packaging.
I've struggled with cycling BV and yeast infections my whole life honestly until a friend suggested a few products to me. More importantly I haven't had a single episode of BV or yeast infection the entire pregnancy thus far!
Figuring out the what was causing it was a huge hurdle, and there's a few products and suggestions out there that you might find will totally help. Figuring out what imbalance (probiotics) you'll need will definitely help! Not sure if this goes against subreddit rules, but killing vaginal bacteria and fighting yeast infections are the worst, it only compounds your problem unfortunately.
It might seem counterintuitive, but taking probiotics (specifically for vaginal/feminine health) was the best thing I ever did. :) Try a product like this - good luck!!

A couple years ago I was super stressed at life and doing 2-a-days to try to cope. The combo of stress and too much exercise led to hideous breakouts, which added more stress.
Everyone's skin and bodies are weird and wonderful in their own fun ways, but I went to a derm and my gyno, and this helped:
Stuff that didn't work for me at all but sometimes works for other people:
Like I say, this is what worked for me when I noticed what sound like similar symptoms to yours. Check out /r/skincareaddiction, and maybe go see some medical pros if you have the means. Good luck, and keep working out! Like others mentioned, most people don't even notice what other people at the gym look like.
Caffeine with two l-theanine pills every morning keeps me alert without giving me anxiety.
I forgot what subreddit I read about l-theanine on, but it's derived from green tea and it balances the effects of caffeine to reduce anxiety. It's made a huge difference for me over the past six months. I can't function without caffeine but I'd feel like throwing up all the time from the anxiety before I started taking the l-theanine, even after starting on Prozac.
Duuude, you have no idea how shitty you feel right now. You're used to it. I'm glad you're trying to quit. These caffeine pills are a lot cheaper and less acidic than either coffee or mountain dew (and anyway, hardly anyone drinks coffee black... you know you put sugar and fat in that shit). Keep at it, it's so worth the difference!
If it's just the caffeine you need, buy caffeine pills.
Personally, I drink caffeine drink mixes (kroger/smith's are my favorite, but there's crystal lite, mio, walmart, etc.) Gets me drinking more water and still get caffeine when I
wantneed it.~$6 for 120 count on Amazon.

I track my intake on cronometer so it's nice that I've been able to look what vitamins/minerals I don't get enough of... my current focus is trying to save my hair so here's my current regimin:
1st thing in the morning 1/2 a tablet of this Iron w/ vitamin C with a full glass of water. I don't eat or drink anything else until at least an hour later.
With breakfast: this multivitamin. I've found it to be the most complete in terms of what I'm usually deficit in. Its one of the only multis that I found with a good amount of zinc.
Glucosamine for my joints.
And an omega 3. I choose this one because it has a good ratio of EPA to DHA.
With lunch: another multivitamin (the serving size is 3 capsules, so I spread them throughout the day because i feel like that would be better for absorption,
vitamin E
15g collagen
With dinner: The last multivitamin, another glucosamine tablet, and another omega.
I also make sure I eat dark leafy greens each day, pay attention to my calcium, and spend time in the sunshine. Otherwise I would supplement vit k, vit d, and calcium
And all that adds 107 calories to my intake. Which is sad, but worth it.
I've been taking [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Spearmint-Digestive-Supplement-Spectrum/dp/B00392OUZW) from Amazon but to be fair that's the only one I've tried.
Woo! Ill one up it and add a link to the one that I love! One a day :)

He needs to have his anxiety and his sleep apnea addressed dually. There are some benzos that are less addictive but honestly restoring your sleep is worth being addicted to ativan, which may be my current situation.
So, load up on the proven non prescription anxiolytic agents which include fish oil(in fatty fish or supplement form), ashwagandha(supplement only), l-theanine(in tea or supplement form) and throw them at him.

Thats what I used to take, it was the first one that made me go, "Oh okay this is actually making me feel better" instead of "Eh its placebo?" I only got noticeable effects when I took a serious amount, like 5 of these horse pills a day. Which is beyond the scope of most studies and why only a few report anti anxiety effects.. I think. https://examine.com/supplements/fish-oil/
Im basically just linking you the supplements I used here not selling anything. Its just the ones I can personally confirm to have worked.
Ashwagandha ksm-66 on amazon anything with decent review count and quality https://examine.com/supplements/ashwagandha/
L-theanine, high reviewed amazon products typically fine something like this
https://www.amazon.com/L-Theanine-200mg-Relaxation-Powerful-V-Capsules/dp/B01BD29KHW
https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/
Vitamin D.. if your boy isnt getting any sunlight like it sounds(working afternoon/nights then sleeping forever) is important. extremely cheap too
Ok so ashawagandha is your heavy hitter here even though by itself it wont really come near xanax levels of "good". However, over time I have found these things to approach benzo levels of anxiety reduction. Like fairly quickly, weeks. And theyre sustainable, no prescription.
Now, you can also buy your own cpap and adjust the settings. Honestly, a lot of us went in for a sleep study and then got thrown to the fucking wolves. They send us off to the durable medical supply depot to get our cpap and set the setting then tell us good luck fella and we dont get our cpap to work for months/years. People here can help you adjust it, its easy.
For you, these things arent bad either.. Fish oil and vitamin d are good for overall health for anyone. Ashwagandha is specifically useful for chronic stress related anxiety. Buy some ear plugs and let him thrash himself out until you get it sorted. Its not mean, its love.
I've used it for the past six months or so. I think the depression is a little more manageable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FM9KNSI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
D-mannose is a good idea when it comes to urinary tract infections. These are natural sugars that stick to E.Coli which is the bacteria that usually causes the UTIs. It then makes it easy to get rid of by drinking lots of water. So provided you get completely natural products, there is no harm in trying. Another remedy which i can recommend and will help to provide some relief and prevent UTIs from recurring and these are probiotics. Healthy, good bacteria that attack and fight off bad bacteria which are responsible for causing these conditions. You can boost your diet on yogurts, kefir or fermented milk and kombucha; these are rich sources of probiotic.
Other than that, you can also look into probiotic supplements. These are faster acting and much better when it comes to serving as a remedy to UTIs. But like I said earlier, knowing the source of your products are very important. Natural products are less likely to have health complications. I would recommend a brand, Eu Natural. These guys are highly trusted and recommended with natural products and supplements. They also provide Flourish Probiotics. This is a natural combination of good bacteria that will help to fight UTIs and also has some other health benefits. I will attach a link so you can have a closer look.

I hope this info was useful and wish you good luck and health. Remember to drink lots of water. you need it
Hey, I'm like you with that almond flour...
Try swapping 1 TBSP of Almond Flour for 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream (or any other flavor that goes well with chocolate) protein powder.
Swap 1 TBSP of the Unsweetened Coco Powder for another 1 TBSP of 0 carb cookies and cream protein powder
Swap 2 TSP Coconut Flour for 2 TSP Psyllium Husks.
Go from 1.5 TBSP of splenda to 2 TBSP to retain the sweetness.
You have suddenly made that 7g into like 1.8g and you jacked the fiber up by a LOT...they taste delicious (I double this recipe and eat it for dinner sometimes)
Note that if you buy the pill form the dossage is really low. Each pill is about 1.5% of your daily fiber need so you'd need to take literally a handful each day to have some noticeable effect. The loose form (that you mix in with water) seems to allow you to easily take a bigger dosage.

Holy crap I feel the same exact way as you. I didn't start opening up about whats going on until about 2 years ago and that has seemed to help everyone understand what is going on with me. I also haven't been diagnosed with anything and haven't taken medications. Idon't have a very high stress job, but even going to work every day has been a challenge and I find myself wanting to escape by noon. However, I know I can't leave so I force my self to stay at least another hour, see how I feel, then stay another hour, ect. I just take things slowly when I go through times of high anxiety
I was a very shy little kid and I'm pretty sure I had social anxiety, but my parents never did anything about it. I've been dealing with panic/anxiety attacks for about 5 years now on and off. I Had my first one during class in college and every time I looked back on that day it just made things worse.
What I have found that helps is going to see a therapist. Shes made me realize that I am normal and that doing normal life things is not going to kill me. I do think it has a lot to do with self-confidence, which is also something I have lacked all my life.
I guess for me its just convincing myself that everything will be ok. Whats in the past is in the past and there is no reason to dwell on it. I like to say the phrase "this too shall pass". I still have days where everything seems scary to me and all I want to do is retreat back home.
Lastly, I take this everyday. http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-5-HTP-100mg-VCaps/dp/B0013OQI1W . It has seemed to really help calm me down in time where all I want to do is flee.
I hope this helped.
Thanks. Interestingly, 5HTP is reasonable priced here. Amazon has NOW brand 5htp for $16.64 for a 4 month supplies taking 100mg in the evening.

Yes, you can find it on Amazon. I use it every night.

"5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the precursor to serotonin. Most people who have carb cravings have them because their serotonin levels fall. Taking 5-HTP will bring them back up. It also helps with sleep. Best time to take it seems to be about 4 or 5 PM for those who go to bed at the standard 10-12 PM. You can move the dose around to find a time that helps the most with your carb cravings yet doesn’t make you sleepy other than when you want to be. "
You beat me to it, wondering where I can find these lol.
edit: seems like some otc meds.

http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-5-HTP-100mg-VCaps/dp/B0013OQI1W
Since you're not on any medication, I suggest you try some of the aminoacids like 5-HTP or L-tryptophan. You may be lacking in serotonin, especially since you've had anxiety issues. Try these aminoacids and DON'T let a doctor talk you into taking an SSRI. They do jack shit and most likely will make it worse.
https://www.amazon.com/NOW-L-Tryptophan-500-120-Capsules/dp/B0019LWV56.

Yes. When I do I use 100 mg of 5 HTP when this happens. I would try this before any sleep medication. As I'll crib from the Wiki, it's a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate to serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. Basically it will cause your body to develop serotonin and melatonin, which will slow your mind down and make you be able to fall asleep.

I have read some things about certain kinds of probiotics being good for vaginal health. There are apparently a couple of kinds of good bacteria identified by researchers to be good: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, GR-1 and Lactobacillus reuteri, RC-14.
A product called Femdophilus contains both these kinds of Probiotic and, if the hundreds of Amazon reviews are worth a damn, works really well for some ladies.
Femdophilus
Good luck! I know how awful itching down there can be. :(
This is the one I picked: http://smile.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E?sa-no-redirect=1
There are some that look really awesome that say vaginal suppositories right on them, but they're more expensive. With these, I used two pills at bed time for maybe a week or so, and since then I've just used one any time I start to feel itchy. You know that "Is this a yeast infection" stage where you know in a couple days it'll probably be the real deal? That's when I'd insert one just in case, and it worked well for years. I'm dealing with yeast now, but I think it's related to being pregnant and taking antibiotics.
You could also try enzymes! I personally use Dairy Digest Complete that I get on monthly subscription from Amazon and I am beyond happy to be back in the world of cheesiness. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OUODA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_O1-cub054G70E
They're not a cure-all for lactose intolerance but for most things one pill with a meal can make life a whole lot better.
My lactose intolerant life was changed once I started taking these. In addition to the lactose digestion enzyme, they have protein enzymes as well. I pop one of those before my dairy sin and I am good to go.
Nothing is worse than the combination of caffeine and dairy for me. A nice coffee is killer, or a few slices of pizza with some Coke and I am in trouble if I forget to take my lactose pills.

CT-CV-ICU RN here. First and foremost, please get probiotics on board. Not the generic ones that you will find over the counter in the market, but medical grade probiotics; specifically, VSL#3 which has 400,000,000,000 bacteria per sachet. That may seem like a lot, but your gut (which is now viewed as the 2nd brain now) has trillions of bacteria living within inside you contributing into many things such as vitamin synthesis, maintaining homeostasis, and believe it or not, producing neurotransmitters! When I'm not taking on fresh post-op open hearts, I take septic patients and I commonly see our patients with sepsis being treated with heavy antibiotics, then being discharged with no information to repopulate their microbiome.
To get rid of your Cdiff. Buy VSL#3 and this Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS, 5 Billion Cells Per Capsule, Promotes Intestinal and Digestive Health, 90 Veggie Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OVW0E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_26TCzbRMFMBAT
And mix them with Red Mills Unmodified potato starch which acts as food for the probiotics you're consuming. This is a resistant starch meaning your body cannot break this down for sugar.
Also, read up on Butyrate which is the most underrated natural substance our symbiotic friends produce!
https://selfhacked.com/blog/health-benefits-butyrate-derivatives-sodium-butyrate-phenylbutyrate-trybutyrine-butyric-acid-butyrate-prodrugs-butyrate-producing-bacteria/
Here is another site with some info from the University of Washington on Boric Acid supplements. I use them about 2x a week to keep YIs at bay. My doctor also just recommended taking a Saccharomyces Boulardii supplement. Basically the Saccaromyces Boulardii are a different type of yeast that "compete" for resources with the type of yeast that cause YIs, and therefore make it harder for the bad yeast to grow out of control.
I hope you get this under control!

Hi, I used to have the same problem with yeast infections. I use feminine probiotics (which are good for your stomach too!) that help break down my production of yeast. Here's some on amazon, but you can find them in like target/walmart in the womens feminine aisle. http://www.amazon.com/RepHresh-Probiotic-Feminine-Supplement-30-Count/dp/B001FOPQQS
When I have an itching problem, I would use the restroom frequently throughout the day, even if I didn't feeling like going and just felt a little moist down there. I carried baby wipes in my purse to clean up down there. I use summer eves feminine wash in the shower and try best not to get shampoo or body soap down there to effect it.
I avoid certain foods and drinks. Anything that contains a lot of yeast, I cut back on them, replacing bread with salads and healthy food (though I still eat bread daily, just not as much all the time). I definitely had to quit drinking beer, after drinking beer, it made my sweat smell yeasty like bread. My boobs smelled like hot crossed buns when I drank beer frequently.
TL;DR: Take the feminine probiotic pill each day, eat yogurt each morning, avoid bread/beer/yeasty-things, wipe up when feeling moist down there, summers eve in shower. Also, wipe up good after sex, but don't clean inside your vagina though.
Congrats! Reminds me of when I finally banished the repeat bacterial vaginosis from hell I had on and off for YEARS. Every time I went to the doctor I would get a script for antibiotics that resulted in a yeast infection that would cause BV and start the cycle all over again.
Then finally after seeing a thread on using probiotic supplements I gave it a try and it was almost instant relief. This stuff is a miracle. Makes me kinda mad that doctors don't at least suggest some of these options! Taking some OTC probiotics or changing your TP is a lot easier and cheaper than tests and medications.
I dunno, I haven't experienced YI on keto. But, when I was pregnant (and not keto), I got them more often than I would've liked. [This probiotic] (http://www.amazon.com/RepHresh-Probiotic-Feminine-Supplement-30-Count/dp/B001FOPQQS) was a game changer for me.
I started taking one every morning and it cleared up the one I was experiencing in 3 days. Never got another yeast infection again after i started taking it every day.
Basically any store with a vitamin/medicine/pharmacy isle.

post loading with 5-htp is recommended.
eat well, drink lots of water, exercise and get good rest.
think about pre loading, possibly with https://www.ravebox.com/ next time.
In that case, 5HTP should be very helpful. I suggest the time release (pressed pill) version.

I feel a little nauseous after taking the capsule version, these are much better imo. Take two a day morning and night for about 3 days following the roll. It makes a decent difference to me.
Anyway good luck! You two sound so similar to me and my girl I am confident you can make it work.
This is a link to Natrol time release 5-HTP https://www.amazon.com/Natrol-5-HTP-Release-Tablets-Packaging/dp/B001HCHGPC?th=1

No problem mate. Haha did you read that Tab article on it? No they don't, well not that I've noticed. I'm pooping normally!
Only thing you may notice is that with Ritalin and Adderall you have this very artificial motivation, like they make you wanna get shit done whereas with Modafinil there isn't this rush and drive to do work but if you take it, sit down and start some revision you'll be able to focus for endless hours without your brain getting tired (and usually resorting to reddit for procrastination). It's also good for waking you up on days when you didn't get enough sleep/you're hungover.
It's a lot more subtle than Ritalin and Adderall, more like an amazing version of coffee.
(If you also drink lots of coffee try taking a capsule of L-Theanine with each mug, completely removes the edgy/jitteriness for me and is the cheapest thing that I've found helps with revising).
Edit: Check out /r/nootropics beginners page

As someone who gets migraines, caffeine is essential to helping prevent them. I don't drink coffee on a regular basis, so this isn't headaches from caffeine withdrawal.
When I go on retreat, I carry:
Anacin or the generic. I rarely ever need it, but I do carry it. It has caffeine in it.
If you are really concerned, get some Jet Alert. Break pills in half and use mindfully, not habitually.
Being with sleepiness on retreat is a good learning experience, so don't take them to deny tiredness.
We are often toxically busy and part of retreat, perhaps the first 3-5 days, can be just letting the body recover from the constant non-stop we regularly expect from it.
Best to you on your retreat. They are the best gift you can give yourself, and by extension, others.
this one?
not gonna lie, it sounds like a PB cover shoot :P
Amazon has them. Or your local vitamin stores and sometimes pharmacies. Go for the higher-quality ones like Nordic Naturals - yes, they're $50, but it's a 3-month supply. The lower-quality fish oil pills give you 'fish burps' and a lingering fishy taste and don't seem to work as well on top of that. Look for something above 1000mg and split in a reasonably-even ratio between EPA & DHA. If the bottle doesn't tell you what the ratio is, then avoid it.
But I do try to spread the word about Omegas & ADD because it just works so well for my son. Control of his own brain back without the 'loopy' or 'zombie' feelings of other ADD meds I've seen in other kids. For best results, wait about 2 weeks of continual use to see the most noticeable results, but you may feel different faster....or maybe not. They don't work for everyone, I understand :P
This is the best quality fish oil money can buy you. There are more reviews on the ".com" version of Amazon, but you can only order stuff in Europe from fhe ".co.uk" one.

Zinc Orotate - this is an aromatase inhibitor, which prevents the production of estrogen ( http://amzn.com/B004UAPG46 )
Ultimate Ascorbate C - not sure of the benefits of this particular one, but it's more than just vitamin C ( http://amzn.com/B00016AOZE )
Vitamin E - "use this if you're gonna have a lot of fat oxidizing in your blood" - Charls ( http://amzn.com/B0014H1P5C )
Fish Oil - gotta have this if you wanna shoot big loads. i mean, come on ( http://amzn.com/B002CQU564 )
Source Naturals Men's Multivitamin - this is the best multivitamin on the market in my opinion. i'm so happy charls introduced it to me. most vitamins aren't bioavailable for shit, so you aren't actually absorbing most of the stuff you're ingesting. however, this formula is crafted to be the most bioavailable multivitamin ever. good shit. if you don't get any of the other stuff, GET THIS. ( http://amzn.com/B001B4N87G )
Activated Charcoal - This helps whiten your teeth. Explains why Charls has such good teeth. ( http://amzn.com/B00016WU2E )
Charls introduced all of these in the Fallout 4 stream. He didn't go into much detail as to when he takes them. Although, he did say that he takes 2 fish oil gels a day. Just look some of this stuff up and see what works for you. Source Naturals Multi (3x a day) and Fish Oil (2x a day) is what works for me.
Older dogs benefit from a variety of supplements, and there are several things you can do as your dog is getting older to help with these sorts of issues.
Joints/Bones:
Glucosimine/chondroitin - these are your standard osteo health suppliments. Really, most dogs over 75 lbs should be on some regimen of these as they get older. Don't be fooled by dog branded versions! You can buy these in bulk and save a lot. Here is a great example:
http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Strength-Glucosamine-375-Count/dp/B002RL8FD4/ref=sr_1_5?s=hpc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449599521&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=glucosamine+chondroitin
Fish Oil: Fish oil acts as a natural lubricant, but it is important to bear in mind that dogs (as in humans) will not absorb as much as can be absorbed via pills. Frozen tilapia fillets are cheap and plentiful and also have a lot of other beneficial vitamins and such.
You're already off to a great start on those hips with that orthopedic bed, but it sounds like your dog might have lost some weight in her old age? Hips don't generally protrude more or less unless there is a weight change. Consider some organic no ingredient (just peanuts, peanut oil, salt)peanut butter as a way to introduce some extra calories into her diet without resorting to junk food. Although you don't want to fatten her up, keeping her a decent weight will keep her energy levels higher and there is some added protein in the peanut butter as well. This is easy to mix into a diet.
Having trouble getting up on the bed? Consider something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/aBaby-Classic-Step-Up-Storage-Espresso/dp/B00JFLYKHY/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449600148&amp;sr=1-2-catcorr&amp;keywords=bed+stairs+for+people
It will take a bit of re-training to help your dog learn to follow steps. In my experience it is better to build these yourself to make it a good size for your dog/bed, also the smooth stairs sometimes are harder to grip than some 'uglier' rough stairs. A handyman should be able to build some basic steps for a case of beer and $50 for supplies.
Heating pads / ice packs are generally not the best ways to deal with this sort of thing. An unfortunate fact of your dog getting older is some new limitations, but the modicum of discomfort they feel is actually productive in keeping them functional. They are less likely to over-stress the joints if there is a little discomfort doing so. One thing you might talk to your vet about is a very light amount of Tramadol. I have a rottweiler with arthritis and joint pain in one leg from a birth defect, and although he doesn't let it slow him down, I find giving him a 1/2 tablet after a hike helps him just enough, basically a super tylenol. For my 85lb Rottie thats about .25mg.
Another thing you can try is turmeric! It has been proven to be a powerful anti-inflammatory and is generally dog safe. It does have a particular taste that not every dog will take to, but that can generally be circumvented with clever treats, and always more peanut butter. A dog about yours size would be about 2 teaspoons daily, but you might have to work up to it if she has a sensitive stomach or is a picky eater.
One very over looked part of a dogs (especially older dogs) life is their teeth. Good teeth help in your dogs old age will help her retain her appetite. An easy way to help this is beef back ribs. Typically available for 2-5 dollars for a single serving (for an 85lb dog, 1lb is plenty for a meal). DON'T COOK THESE! Rendered fat is not good for dogs, and cooked bones aren't good either (cooked bones splinter, raw bones do not). Straight raw in a clean environment and your dog and her teeth will love you for them! You can also do raw chicken carcasses [edit: spend extra to get non-factory chickens!] or lamb shanks if your dog has no allergies to either, and lamb is especially good for dogs.
Hope this is helpful.
One of my teammates recommended glucosamine and I feel like it's helped my knees. They were stressed out from BJJ and bike commuting. I take this one.
I have been taking turmeric for a couple weeks and I think it is helping my pain. Dosage is three a day, but I've been taking two. I have been told that my nerve pain is caused by inflammation from degenerative disc that I had surgery on in 2011. I also take glucosamine msm and fish oil. After a few weeks these seem more effective than epidural cortisone injections (in my experience only). The last time I had a pain flare up it lasted over 4 months and I got injections, took NSAIDS, started supplements and the pain subsided for almost 2 years, but I don't really know which of those helped and don't want to get injections again as I'm not sure side effects are worth it or if it even does anything. If you can get the inflammation under control, you might be able to stop supplements for a while, but I might keep taking these from now on to see if I can avoid another flare up. No side effects that I've noticed so way better than pharmaceuticals for me.
I just get mine from Amazon, I wasn't particular about brand (as long as they're spearmint not peppermint!); I'm in the UK but looks like the ones I get are also in the US (https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Full-Spectrum-Spearmint-Leaf/dp/B00392OUZW). I take one tablet twice a day.
&nbsp;
Otherwise looks like everyone else has given good advice but my tactic would be to focus on getting very good at covering up - I was in my friend's wedding a few months ago and my skin was a mess but I had my concealing skills honed so it ended up difficult to even notice (but allow maybe more time for getting ready on the day so you can really take time over it!).
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/330166-good-bad-birth-control-pills-and-implants-for-acne/
First things first, check out that link. It explains which birth control pills are good for acne and which will exacerbate it (YMMV of course). It's possible that your BC is not one that's good for acne. If this is the case, I'd recommend asking your doctor to switch you to a different one, the best two I think are ortho-tri cyclen and yasmin.
Other than that, you could also try asking your doctor for spironolactone. It's an anti-androgenic medication that's often prescribed for hormonal acne. Lastly, you should DEFINITELY try spearmint tea. That's what I did, and it helped like crazy. Spearmint is anti-androgenic, too, there have been studies on it so it's not an old wives tale or anything like that. I personally could never get myself to drink 1-2 cups of spearmint tea a day, so I take them in capsule form instead, which is the same thing. I like this one.
I've also noticed that my hormonal acne gets better when I'm using my finacea prescription, which I use for rosacea. At the very least, finacea is really good for getting rid of the red marks leftover by hormonal breakouts.
I tried this but kept forgetting to drink the tea, so I started taking spearmint capsules (Swanson) instead. It seems to be the only thing so far to actually stop my hormonal chin acne; too bad the capsules now seem to be out of stock everywhere. I hope they haven't been discontinued. (Edit: I mean in the UK, they may still be available in US.)
Informed Consent Clinics might work with out letters etc. Depending on where you live you may can get a prescription rather quickly since you are already diying. On my post many have said because they mentioned DIYING to their therapist it sped up the process of getting a reference to an endo. However, they also told me to be very careful as not every therapist will be open and willing to hear out Trans people or take them seriously. Mentioning DIYING to the wrong therapist In the wrong area could get you in trouble. I guess it would depend on where you live, and who you are seeing. Its really quite unfortunate that there are so many gates we have to go through just to be ourselves. I agree with you though, DIYING IS SOOOOOO STRESSFUL. I have been succumbed to taking multiples of these because i have run out of hormones https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-Full-Spectrum-Spearmint-Leaf/dp/B00392OUZW. (spearmint has been proven to be an effect anti androgen.) I am praying my next shipment will be here no later than tomorrow afternoon.
A good majority of people do not get enough fiber intake in their day. I know it's not easy, but it might help to find a few fiber sources that you enjoy eating as that will help you out tremendously.
If you're getting the right amount of water per day, getting in the right amount of fiber, and limiting your food intake 3-4 hours before going to sleep, that will help you with regularity in a big way.

I don’t take DHA only.
Here’s what I’ve used for years and works for me:
InnovixLabs Triple Strength Omega-3... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FM9KNSI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This is my current pill, FYI
http://www.amazon.com/Strength-InnovixLabs-Concentrated-Burp-Free-Capsules/dp/B00FM9KNSI/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1405009802&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=innovix
>I'd like to avoid dairy for my acne and digestion so are there any recommendations for vegan "heavy cream"?
It'd be easy to use olive oil, but your MUFA/SFA ratios may not be ideal. I'd like to remove dairy from my diet for the same reasons, but I still use heavy cream because it's easier and tastes better imo. (thankfully i'm on accutane so i'm free to binge on all the dairy i want and my face is fine)
>Is an Omega 3 supplement is recommended?
For general health, yeah.
I use this. I know this sub doesn't like Labdoor too much, but they rate it best for value. I take two capsules a day. I think I feel better when I take my fish oil consistently.
I'm using InnovixLabs right now. I take 3 capsules per day for ~2.5g EPA/DHA. Last I checked it ranked well at LabDoor and the cost is reasonable.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FM9KNSI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1
These are the best value that I know, they are ranked good on labdoor and you only need 1 a day. I'm about to order some more actually, only had one fish burp from the whole bottle so far and there is only like 10 or so left so that's decent odds haha
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FM9KNSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This brand is highly rated, has a lot of capsules per bottle, and is fairly cheap.
I think this is indeed a very good question. The gut is generally considered as the center of the immune system and hence a favorable gut flora will go a long way to boost the immune system and improve overall wellness. When it comes to gut bacteria, a safe and natural way to replenish the good bacteria is to take probiotics. And some sources are yogurts, kefirs, kombucha and all that or probiotic supplements. I have used one and I can recommend it; Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural. Hence to balance gut flora and boost your immune system. i will attach a link so you may check it out. :
https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Probiotics-Women-Lactobacillus-Saccharomyces/dp/B07KFPCCLP
I have used Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural. These are actually probiotic supplements. i had a really bad case of stomach problems with nausea and lack of appetite. I was recommend this and did some research before deciding to go in for it. Basically, this is a natural combination of healthy bacteria that helps to support digestion, urinary tract and gut health. The brand Eu Natural is actually highly recommended when it comes to natural products. I will attach a link so you can read more into it. But definitely a go for me:
https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Probiotics-Women-Lactobacillus-Saccharomyces/dp/B07KFPCCLP
Good luck
well I got rid of mine using probiotics. Did some research online and after recommendations I was convinced these healthy bacteria were what I needed. Started out with yogurts, they seemed to help so I moved on to probiotic supplements which were safe during pregnancy. The one I used was Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural which is a natural probiotic supplement made from healthy, good bacteria. It is what stopped my morning sickness. basically what I know of probiotics is that they are healthy bacteria that are great to get rid of conditions like UTIs, support healthy pregnancy, digestion and gut flora. Did the trick for me and I would recommend. I will attach a link so you can read more into it: https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Probiotics-Women-Lactobacillus-Saccharomyces/dp/B07KFPCCLP
And try to get lots of rest. Good luck
Psyllium husks, my friend... Psyllium husks.
I should probably make a throwaway but fuck it. I bought Psyllium Husk at Haggen (my semi-local grocery store) and you can also buy it on Amazon.
I looked on amazon then cross referenced reviews on iherb and would go with this one (I haven't tried it but may in future based on reviews)
http://www.amazon.com/Yerba-Prima-Psyllium-Whole-12-Ounce/dp/B00013YYKS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1313590810&amp;sr=8-1

Try this. Makes pooping fun! I mix/sprinkle this on just about anything.
It works, and bromelain works. Anyone who's curious can eat their cum, and then eat a bunch of pineapple and eat their cum again. I won a pineapple-eating contest (5 cans in 15 minutes!) and decided to do some science a few hours later. It was just like warm, flavorless snot. I'd never eaten my cum before, but I'd tasted it on post-BJ-mouths of partners, and I know it's typically pretty bitter, with a gnarly aftertaste. Pineapple (and/or bromelain) is one fix in the positive direction. Hydration is another. The fixes that minimize the negatives: less drinking, smoking, meat, dairy, spice.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OSSUP0/
This is all you need (not necessarily this exact product, but psyllium husk in general). Do a couple spoonfuls in water once or twice a day. It's the same stuff as the capsules you linked, but if I did the math right, the capsules are $1.70/oz whereas the loose whole husks are $0.66/oz.
So if you're trying to add mass/strength, your biggest concern with going vegetarian is probably going to be getting enough protein. I try to take in like ~200g/day. You can calculate what you need here.
I personally get most of my protein from protein shakes. I use pea protein exclusively, this brand. Unfortunately, it comes from China but I can't pass on the price point. I also add peanut flour, cocoa powder, bananas, flax seed meal (good source of omega-3's), psyllium husk fiber (helps to slow down digestion of protein), BCAA's, creatine, and beta-alanine all in almond milk. The reason for some of those supplements can be found here.
Thanks to the fiber and the flax seed, it gets super thick almost like pudding if you let it sit. Usually, I'll mix in cold brewed coffee to get the consistency I want. It's really good. I drink like ~48 ounces a day, every day. Still have yet to get tired of it.
As far as recipes go, I try to eat high protein meals usually with beans/legumes and quinoa. I use tofu or tempeh as meat substitutes quite a bit too. I eat a lot of chili and curries. My instant pot (pressure cooker) is always getting used.
I also supplement with this multivitamin.
In response to the anti-protein focus comment, I guess I would say that I eat at a calorie deficit so it's hard to hit my protein targets unless I supplement. However, you should still count your macros at least at first to make sure you're getting in the range of where you should be.

Wheat germ
Chia seeds
Note: You can adjust the serving size to something more realistic for your uses to get an idea of how much you should add. Most of those sources are roughly equal from a fiber/calorie perspective. One standout is the chia seeds.
Yes, I'm stubborn. If food is not a good enough solution, you can sprinkle some of this stuff on your pizza and donuts.
To your health!

5htp supplements you can buy a 30ct bottle for like $8 at walmart. honestly those help me alot, really helps with the cloudliness and just overall mood. its really hard to consistently making critical decisions game to game without something giving out later on in the day. drink water, avoid caffeine and nicotine if possible. get out of the arena from time to time. sometimes i get a bit anxious if im inside the whole time for a tournament. good luck.
On the advice of a CA I got some Ashwaganda and 5-HTP and I have to be honest I think it helps.
If nothing else It gives you a sense of being proactive.
This is the one I have.

Has she been tested for bacterial vaginosis? It cane seem like a YI when it's really BV.
http://www.cdc.gov/std/bv/stdfact-bacterial-vaginosis.htm
She can also try fem dopholus which is probiotics for females. Its supposed to help encourage her natural good flora to grow to keep away the bad.
http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
I second this. At one point I got a vaginal strep infection from a guy going down on me before he was showing symptoms of strep throat. Once the infection had run it's course I couldn't seem to get the smell or texture of my discharge to return to normal. I went back to the doctor several times to get tested for anything else and they told me I was normal. After getting fed up with no results I tried oral probiotics as a last resort. I was so skeptical I thought it was a waste of my money, but I had to be able to say I'd tried it before I moved on to something else. They made my vagina smell and feel AMAZING. It only took a few days and I noticed a difference in smell, texture, even some minor itchy irritation that I had just gotten used to went away. I was floored that taking a pill once a day could do so much for my poor vagina. The link is the brand I tried so I can't speak for other varieties, but holy shit if something so simple can fix her troubles why not try it?
http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
Edit: forgot link -_-
TLDR: I highly recommend oral probiotics.
https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
is what I was recommended.
Happy to! This is what I buy from vitamin shoppe since I am paranoid the ice packs might not be enough for Amazon shipping sometimes unless it's fast and you double check how the seller ships it. The bacteria die if not kept cold.
http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Fem-Dophilus-Capsules/dp/B0013OUK3E
Read reviews and search Google for more info first. I like that it's all natural and won't cause any wonky side effects.
EDIT: they're selling 120 for 50 bucks and if you only take as needed it will last a long time. I use it to "reset" my healthy Flora and it usually sustains itself until I make another change and my body rebels against me
I also have this problem, but only had mild breakouts. Taking dairy digest + switching to organic milk fixed it for me.
Before that I just added whey protein powder to rice/almond/soy milk.
my friend..thank me later

Yes dairy digest is available a lot of places, I get mine at the local co-op, it's their brand, but its like this one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Supplements-Dairy-Digest-Complete-Capsules/dp/B0013OUODA/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=dairy+digest&amp;qid=1568591884&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3

What kind of probiotics would you recommend? I still have a week left of Bacillus coagulans, it hasn't been working for awhile so I was thinking of switching to S. boulardii + MOS. I also have Advanced Multi-Billion Dophilus.
> look for an S Boulardii specific probiotic
Could you get this from Amazon and still have it work? I'm talking about the Jarrow brand you mention, this one. Does it have to remain cold like (seemingly) most probiotics or does this work at room temp?
> What kind of nootropics are you taking?
My current stack is listed here. I'm extremely happy with my supplement selection.
> And what/how much pro/prebiotics?
I take one of these a day.
> Not sure a number, but I think an average amount per day?
I removed almost all carbs and processed foods from my diet, and it's honestly been the most important improvement to my mental health compared to anything else. Less brain fog, more motivation, more mental clarity, better sleep, etc.
I generally eat a lot of vegetables, coconut and avocado oil, eggs, lots of nuts and seeds, coconut water and chicken broth, variety of meat including fish, and berries (the least sugary fruits) and dark chocolate for treats. No gluten and very little dairy (fan of expensive cheese, not the cheap stuff).

That's great. Glad the prebiotics are helping you. I looked into probiotics and used them as well, and for some reason, Saccharomyces Boulardii seems to be different than the rest. Kind of like the Michael Jordan of strains. Also, I noticed that it's not usually included in most multiple probiotics. The reason I brought it up to you is because I see lots of people with SIBO saying, it's gone!!! and if you see anyone talking about stomach upset, it's usually ones that contain MOS giving upset. This is MOS and if you look at the 3rd paragraph you'll see it stated there.
&#x200B;
Check out this one for instance and check the reviews

I’m currently taking this probiotic and it’s reviews are incredible for people with IBS/UC. I have issues with inflammation and fistulas and have noticed a difference when taking this. I definitely recommend researching and trying it.
I have tried so many supplements, probiotics, digestive enzymes and prescription medications that it's ridiculous. Lomotil helps a tad but not enough, and it's not something I want to take every day. But then someone on here suggested Saccharomyces Boulardii (I take this one http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Sacharomyces-Boulardii-Capsules/dp/B0013OVW0E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1426438763&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=saccharomyces+boulardii) and it has made a world of difference. Thank you, whoever you were, for the suggestion. Finally I can keep food inside me long enough for it to do some good.

It exists in pill form already. Whether it works or not, I don't know.
Sorry to hear you are experiencing this, I know it can be extremely frustrating. Two things that I found helpful were Boric Adid suppositories and probiotics. I linked to the ones that I used but there are so many other options out there for these products. I am not a fan of consistent use of antibiotics because eventually our bodies can develop resistance to them, so please be careful with them.
&#x200B;
Boric Acid
You put the suppository in your vagina (usually at night) and symptoms cease sometimes within a day, but you should experience improvements within a couple of days. No odor, no itching, etc. I have heard of women who use these and their BV/yeast problems stop permanently. My period really messes with my ph balance, so I usually use them the last couple days of my period and then will use one if I ever have any symptoms come back. I experienced recurring BV since puberty, about 10 years, and this is the one thing that has brought instant, consistent relief without other negative side effects. I have heard of some people not having as much success, or even their own negative side effects, so I would look into that as well for you to balance the potential risk vs, potential benefit. Some literature on this method: 1, 2, 3.
&#x200B;
Probiotics
Before using the Boric Acid, I used probiotics and found them to be very helpful but not as comprehensive as the BA suppositories. Within a week, many of my symptoms would cease, including any odor or itching (a very rare symptom for me), however my discharge would still seem a little off.
&#x200B;
Before making another trip to the doctor, I would strongly suggest purchasing one of these! I also will second looking into what you are eating and how it might be impacting you. Wishing you luck!
I take a regular multivitamin, extra B vitamins and probiotics. In my experience, your lady parts will thank you for the probiotics, especially if you are running very long distances. My doc recommend this one for me and it has been working great.
Hmm. Well the only advice I can give, outside of another doctors apt for a second opinion, is what's worked for me for reoccurring bv. I started taking 800 mcg Folic Acid and a probiotic vaginal supplement.
The probiotic can be found at Walgreens and other such places. There are also vaginal probiotics that require refrigeration which also work. I stopped with this eventually because I can't get it where I currently live but kept up with the folic acid and still haven't had an issue since.
I am always happy to try and help.
I have had friends who have tried 5-Htp with some results but I have no clue if they have gelatin in them. Maybe St, John's Wort. Both of those are more for depression though.
I need a closet organizer so I can actually keep my room clean and keep my clothes tidy.
I want some 5-HTP supplements so I don't feel like shit most days.
This and This should have a similar effect.
Haven't got around to buying myself some yet, but I'm hoping these will be very relaxing come exam time when I need to have a decent sleeping routine.
My sleep pattern is constantly a big turd.
I stopped taking birth control after being on it for ~5 years because it gave me an anxiety disorder. After getting off it, I noticed I felt way, way better, except the week or so before my period - I would get anxious, depressed, feel exhausted all the time, and binge eat. Turns out, I have PMDD. My doctor recommended that I try 5-HTP, which is a precursor to serotonin. It acts in a similar way to an antidepressant but without all the side effects. I absolutely swear by it and would recommend you give it a shot since the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work. When I'm PMSing, I take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening and I'll still have a day or two where I'm antisocial and feel off, but it's nothing like the sobbing, semi-suicidal mess I used to be.
Aside from that, my anxiety disorder taught me that when I'm feeling anxious, caffeine is an absolute no-go in any amount. I also do yoga which helps quite a bit. I learned to control my breathing and calm myself down when I'm feeling crazy anxious. Meditating is still difficult when my mind is racing at a million miles an hour, but I'm working on it :)
There's also this stuff if you need a stimulant..

try these:

The folks over at /r/motocamping might be of help.
I've never been much for cooking on the road, but I've got to have my morning caffeine somehow; I take either the Jetboil French Press or a bottle of store-brand No-Doz. (usually both, tbh).
Other than that, camping on the bike isn't a bit different than camping from a car. Oh, except setting camp in the rain sucks more, so a "shamwow" towel is nice to have, too.
start taking this stuff it helps with memory and shit, and its good for a bunch of other crap too
my g/f works at an organic and health food store and makes me take stuff like this, but it actually really does help
these?
For creatine and beta alanine, just get the powder. No difference between that and a name brand, except the name brands might include other stuff (ingredients, flavors, fillers, etc) and will almost always be more expensive.
From what I've read, fish oil oxidizes easily, so when you look for a supplement, I've read you should find one that has vitamin e or some antioxidant combined with it. Doesn't look like the bulk supplements fish oils have that, so I'd probably go with another brand. I use nordic naturals.
do other people take fish oil? how have you found it??
while this is a mice study, relating to a specific lupus trigger (silica), i thought it was interesting.
"According to Harkema, the DHA could be changing the way these cells, also known as macrophages, react to the silica in the lungs and somehow alter the immune system's response."
i took some and noticed an improvement, but stopped because i was getting an aftertaste of lemon, which is lame, i know.
i spent ages researching which was best; £40-50 a bottle, but they're amongst the best.
nordic naturals; https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Essential-Fatty-Acid-Nutritional-Supplements-Oils/Nordic-Naturals-Ultimate-Omega-Fish-Soft-Gels/B002CQU564/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1492902398&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=nordic+naturals+oil
I'd take the fish oil as well. This looks like it doesn't have any EPA and only 50mg of DHA, which is fairly low.
You may also want to upgrade your fish oil, if it doesn't have a great EPA/DHA ratio. Nordic naturals makes a good product.
This is good advice.
Also if you're active, stuff like this helps a lot:

I got them from my local Kroger, and they're made by Northwest Naturals. Here's an Amazon link to them. I like the way they taste, personally. They're sugar free and fruit flavored. They're fairly soft and thus easy to eat.
Fiber supplements. Little gummie things. I chew on 4 of them while I am making dinner. I'd rather get it naturally but it is one of those things I feel I need more but there is no way I could stuff it into one meal so I use them. I could probably do without it but I like my fiber so I'd rather use a supplement than adjust to less.

Sugar free gummy bears gives people the shits/excessive farting. They're infamous for it:
> In short, I did indeed have increased regularity, but I had the horrible side-effect of increased gas to boot. So much so that I started using Gas-x and Beano to fix the issue, which didn't work. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was making me soooooo very gassy until I read the label which warned of the possible side effect. The product label recommends reducing the number of gummies, but I found ONE was one to many. They went into the garbage, and my gas issues went the way of the dinosaurs.
https://www.amazon.com/vitafusion-Fiber-Gummies-Count-fiber/dp/B004QHLDOK
Stop eating them and my guess is that you'll be fine
Everyone's talking vegetables or tortillas. Why is there no mention yet of fiber supplements? The best I had before was Cirucel, in powder -mixed-with-water form. That seemed to be a good one. That gets tedious though, and I've switched to these fiber gummies. They taste like gummy bears, and I take two a day and stay pretty regular. (I buy them at Sam's or Costco)
Relatively new to bottom here. I just stopped eating fast food and take these fiber chewables, getting cleaned up had been a breeze.

If your gut health isn't as good as it should be you can have some negative side effects such as bloating and gas. As your body adjusts to the bacteria, you should see an ease in those negative symptoms. I would recommend trying to get pre and probiotics from a range of foods as well as trying a probiotic. Fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi have a plethora of beneficial bacteria. With yogurt, make sure that the brand is low in sugar. Sugar feeds the unhealthy stuff, like candida further causing digestive discomfort.

Hi,
Sorry about that. One of the best remedies that will provide relief from bloating and I would advise you to try are probiotics. These are good bacteria that can help digestion and metabolism, hence providing relief from bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and almost anything related to digestion. In fact, probiotics balance gut flora and help to fight bad bacteria that make us sick. As a result, boosting our immune system. When it comes to taking probiotics, you can either include them in your diet by eating some yogurts or kefir. Or, you may also take probiotic supplements which are richer in the good bacteria. I can recommend Flourish Probiotics by Eu Natural. ( https://www.amazon.com/Flourish-Probiotics-Women-Lactobacillus-Saccharomyces/dp/B07KFPCCLP )

Two a day will help the flavor. The rest is on you to set straight, because he's acting like a douchebag. No bj without a shower within a few hours, maybe he should learn how to eat pussy the right way. I'll never understand guys that don't/ won't and yet expect that a bj is mandatory in a relationship. If you don't care for and respect your partner and want to get them off, why the fuck should they?
This article recommends a specific probiotic since gut flora bacteria is different than bacteria found down there. Also, they're oral, and not suppository.

The post MDMA serotonin depletion can last a while, up to a week for some people.
Now are you still taking Vyvanse daily? If so, it means you havent given your body a chance to replenish seratonin, this is bad and you would be risking serotonin syndrome. This is very bad and possibly fatal.
So youre going to want to;
I think so but if you can’t find any thunone (the active ingredient in Absinthe) is a gaba antagonist. Also have you tried ordering it on Amazon? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013OVZAG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_b1.PDb5H9MZGK
I don't know what kind of diet that is, but it isn't low carb. It sounds like she is trying to do a 0 carb diet instead of a low carb diet. Avoiding all grains is great, and seeds aren't all that important. Veggies, nuts, and fruits should NOT be avoided though.
"Low" should be less than 50 carbs a day. If one really wants to go extreme with it, less than 30 could work. Also, she knows that carbs from dietary fiber don't "count" right?
If she insists on not eating any of the above things at all, then she'll just have to go with artificial fiber supplements. I suggest these. I just take two a day, but if I was literally not eating any vegetables, fruits, or nuts then I'd probably have 8 a day.
