Ok, I’m gonna be Debbie Downer here, but please I beg you to hear me out.
I had nearly the exact same food sensitivities you describe. I struggled with them for nearly a decade. My doctor gave me all the information they could on creative ways to deal with it.
Finally, I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Stage 4 colon cancer. Not cool. My oncologist estimated from the spread that the cancer probably started 10 years ago. What an amazing coincidence….
Please, please, please get an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Not the little poop-on-a-stick test, an actual colonoscopy and endoscopy. Digestive system cancers are exploding in younger people that “shouldn’t” be getting them. The fastest growing population is young women (who are often told it’s just IBS) but young men are getting these cancers at an alarming rate as well.
Seems like it should be similar. You just get your steps over quicker. It takes the same amount of energy to walk a mile as to jog a mile as to run a mile.
Beehaw is an old instance (two years, so “old” is relative). They have their own thing going on, and didn’t want to change their groove for the influx of redditors.
A reintroduction of certain antibiotics to Tyson's chicken supply chain could help the company forecast supply and demand by producing more uniform birds with consistent weights, King said.
Because that’s what consumers really want: chickens raised in such filthy conditions that they have to be fed antibiotics their entire lives. Yummy!
I’m sure you could find a few people here to hire/commission to do this work for you. They could generate the prompts and edit them in one fell swoop. More efficient!
In a move that backfired, one of the deans from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers, Dr. Carol Terregino, sent an email to second, third and fourth year medical students asking them to volunteer when nurses go on strike. She said the students would be “answering call bells, checking in on patients and supporting the replacement nursing staff.”
The medical students refused, writing back that “the request to provide unpaid labor in jobs we are not trained to do at the expense of our own educational programming raises concerns about exploitation and risks creating an unsafe environment for patients.”
Meanwhile the CEO of the hospital planning to use these “volunteers” is paid $16 million a year…
“Hey, Joe, tell people we won’t use their data for AI without their permission!”
“But… they already gave permission by accepting the TOS, didn’t they?”
“Yeah, but they’re too stupid to realize that. So just keep repeating that we won’t use their data without their permission. That’ll get ‘em off our backs.”
I had my colon and parts of my liver removed, so I can speak to how terrifying it is. If the surgeons don’t know whether or not he’ll need an ostomy, and he has to find out after he wakes up, that adds another layer of anxiety.
True confessions: I was a real bitch before my surgery. And after.
Unfortunately some of us react to fear by becoming angry. If he knows he’s one of us, he might be doing the best thing by putting his mother in charge. She can handle him, and you won’t get hurt.
Let his mother take over. Be supportive, be there, and be calm. Try not to take any of this to heart. Talk to his mother and work with his mother to care for him. Stay centered and put an emotional wall between you and his freaking out. Treat it like a toddler having a tantrum, because really that’s what it is.
It sucks; but don’t start divorce proceedings, seeking vengeance, or airing your hurt feelings until a couple months after surgery. He’s gonna be out of his head on pain meds and the dehydration/poor nutrition/exhaustion from his guts being rerouted and re-adapting will leave him being a total shit for a while yet.
And if he doesn’t come around after that, try some couple’s counseling before making any huge decisions.
Dunno if this is related, but I can easily eat an entire candy bar and be ready to snarf down another. But 3 or 4 dried dates make me full and satisfy my craving for sweets, and I don’t want more.
Bliss said extensive investigations by both the AATB and the FDA did not turn up anything wrong in Aziyo’s processing of the bone in 2021. She declined to comment on why a single company, of the many in the United States that process tissue, is involved in both tuberculosis outbreaks.
I would think they are not being precisely honest about where they are getting the cadavers from which they harvest bone material.
And those who are in crucial meaningful jobs are pushed to their very limits, overworked because “your job is your calling.” (Nurses, teachers, social workers, etc.)
Figure out your deepest, ground-level goal/motivation.
Let’s pretend your most profound goal is “stability.” That may mean staying where you are, or it could mean taking the risk on school for the greater stability it offers in the future.
Identify your life’s motivation and then apply it to your options. Simplify to one word if you can. Bare bones.
I saw one that pretty much missed the point of the article. Pre-digested pabulum. We should be reading the frickin’ article ourselves before we comment.
I mean, the guy has a private plane and properties in foreign counties and friends in places out of the US’s reach. Certainly more of a flight risk than most folks..
Kind of an aside, but didn’t the dudes who figured out insulin refuse to patent it because they thought it would be immoral to profit off something people need to survive?
Be aware that xantham gum is a laxative.
