I realize I may not have a bunion after what everyone said in my last post, but I totally forgot I had rhematology x-rays last year and just stumbled on the pics when looking for something unrelated. This definitely seems like a bunion to me, but I guess I could be wrong.
This is a weird one.
So I just heard about the podcast "How I Write" by Dave Perell. I searched for it in Overcast after seeing a clip of it on Instagram, and the top two results have the same title and show art, so I clicked into each one to see what's up.
Each has the same episodes but slightly different titles and episode descriptions. The top result has the episode titles that seem to match YouTube/Spotify/Apple/etc, but most of them are missing episode art. The second result has the weird mirror world titles but every episode has clean looking episode art.
Does anyone know what could be going on here? I am stumped as to why this would happen and which feed is the legit one.
Went to the doctor a few months ago for shaky hands and she tested my vitamin levels. Turns out I have low (not deficient) D and B12, so she recommended I start taking supplements for them.
I've kind of taken them on and off for the last few months, and I have noticed a pretty big reduction in the shakiness. I recently had my levels rechecked, and D is in the normal range. B12 went up but is still on the low end.
Any time I take any new med or supplement, I google its relationship with IBS. I have really stubborn IBS-D that hasn't really responded to any treatments I've tried over the years.
When I google this, I see that B12 supplementation sometimes has a positive effect on IBS-D (lots of personal stories on message boards like this one), but digging further into it, it doesn't really seem like there is any reason this would be the case. In fact, my B12 is probably low because of my IBS-D. Not the other way around.
As I try to get into the habit of taking this pill every day to see if I can get a more normal number, I'm wondering if anyone here might have any insight on this.
I buy thin burger patties from the grocery. Usually either Laura's Lean or Simple Truth. I actually over cook them compared to what I read online: 14 minutes at 400 degrees flipped halfway. Then I stab them with a meat thermometer to make sure they are at least 169 degrees. Usually, they wind up somewhere in the mid 160s to 170.
When I bite into a burger, it looks pretty strongly pink for like 10 seconds and then fades back to brown. It's kind of striking. It looks like undercooked pink but then changes back. Sometimes, it lingers for longer than ten seconds.
I've read about persistent pinking but this freaks me out since I don't know what the difference is between that and undercooked pink.
I currently live alone and have an Apple TV that, like all my other Apple products, is fully integrated into my ecosystem. I'm about to move in with someone though, and now it will feel weird for a lot of my personal stuff to be on the main streaming box for our TV.
For Photos: Is there a way I can turn off access to my photo library on the Apple TV? I'm assuming there is a toggle to turn off iCloud for photos, but my photos aren't currently backed up anywhere and touching toggles like that always terrifies me that it will accidentally delete stuff.
Some context as to why I'm asking:
I'm a long time IBS-D sufferer. Lots of tests, medications, supplements, diets, etc. no answers or symptomatic improvement. One thing my doctor recommended that I have never tried for more than a month at a time at very small doses is a fiber supplement. Usually I take a few capsules (very low dose) for about three weeks before giving up. I've finally decided to try to be more aggressive and patient.
I'm taking psyllium, specifically the Metamucil sugar free powder, half a teaspoon every night, and I've been doing this for about three weeks now. No improvement in reducing bowel movement frequency yet, and a lot of extra gas.
My plan is to keep this up and slowly increase to see if there is a sweet spot. But it has me thinking...if disbiosis is one of my contributing problems, could continued use of Metamucil over a long period of time (6 months to a year or more) have any positive effect on my microbiome? I've read that it doesn't ferment so it's not good for repair, but I've also read that it acts like a prebiotic and can have positive effects. Not sure what to believe.
