Hi everyone. I learned a lot from this forum and wanted to give back a bit. The following are my experiences \~5.5 months after an Achilles rupture repair surgery. I am a 20s, very active male in the USA. I tore my Achilles and broke my ankle in late May of this year. I didn’t have surgery until \~1 month later. At \~5.5 months I can do 25+ single-leg calf raises on the bad leg, and my Achilles is strong and fully functional. I have normal heel lift height and can hop on my bad leg through a footwork ladder fairly easily. I still won’t dare to sprint, but I do jog a bit. I can go knee-to-wall, but definitely still lack additional forward range of motion. I still battle tightness in the f...

Looking for advice going from a 9-mile river swim to an 18-mile river swim — what am I underestimating? Hey everyone — looking for input from folks who’ve made the jump from marathon to ultra distances. Last year I completed a 9-mile river race in the Philadelphia area (about half against the current, half with it). Finished in 5:38. It was my first season of open-water swimming and my first race over 5 miles. I was also undertrained — new baby at home, wife pregnant — so the fact that I got through it felt like a win. This year I’m planning an 18-mile river swim in Pittsburgh in all three rivers, again roughly half upstream and half downstream. Two kayakers supporting me. Wh...

After 4 days in the hospital battling acute pancreatitis and kidney failure, Asher's ultrasound yesterday showed that he was likely born with abnormally developed kidneys. Something he has managed all his life without us ever knowing. The doctors believe he recently lost a significant amount of kidney function, which caused this sudden emergency. But today, we are celebrating his amazing progress! 🙌 His pancreatitis is improving, he’s home, and he is eating his Royal Canin Renal food (and loving it!). Best of all, his playful personality is back! He’s roaming around, wagging his tail, full of energy, and back to his happy self. 🐶💛 We know this journey will require careful...

Hey guys, I’m searching some opinions about adding a food scan feature to a habit tracker app for weight loss, nutrition tracking, eating challenges, and so on. I’m curious how many food related habits you track and if a food scanner with personalized suggestions would actually be useful. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Here’s a clear, accurate explanation of how bromelain, quercetin, and luteolin help with histamine intolerance. These three are often combined because they support each other and target different parts of the mast-cell / histamine pathway. ⸻ 🟦 1. Quercetin — one of the strongest natural mast-cell stabilizers Quercetin is a flavonoid found in onions, apples, and tea. In histamine intolerance and MCAS, it helps by: ✅ Mast cell stabilization It prevents mast cells from degranulating, which stops the release of: • histamine • leukotrienes • prostaglandins • cytokines This is the most important benefit. ✅ Histamine receptor modulation It reduces sensitivity at H1 ...

New flavor from Bum. I would say it’s very pineapple-forward. While still artificial, the pineapple flavor is similar to real pineapple juice as opposed to a candy-like flavor. I personally do not taste the coconut very much, which is kind of disappointing.

My health insurance for a company I used to work at made us get points in order for our premiums to be less. They were things like get an annual check up etc. One of the activities was meet with a nutrition specialist. Not really thinking it would be important I did the appointment and actually learned a good tip for food cravings. I was addicted and I mean really craved all the time the cinnamon flavored pop tarts. So **** I know. But anyways, on my way to work every morning I would get a large coffee and a pop tart from a convenience store. I told the specialist I can’t help it when I go there it’s like an unstoppable force. He said cutting out a craving or going “cold turkey” ...

It’s honestly wild how much health misinformation is out there. Scroll through TikTok or IG for 10 minutes and you’ll think you need to run marathons, cut out all sugar, sleep exactly 8 hours, and take 12 supplements just to stay alive. As someone who’s deep in the research world, I started noticing a pattern, many of my educated, ambitious friends still believe health myths from 20 years ago. The worst part? A lot of this misinformation sounds science-y, when it’s just bold claims without real evidence. So I did a deep dive. Dozens of studies, books, podcasts, expert talks. This post is not fearmongering or hype. It’s a curated breakdown of the 7 most widespread lies about health...

If you have read about the effects of maca on improving libido and perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms before, but have wondered about pulling the trigger on it, here are my thoughts—take them or leave them, gents! I (47M) will preface this by saying that I tend to be skeptical of supplements, as my grandma had an entire closet full of them when I was growing up. That said, when I started my SSRI (Zoloft) earlier this year, my sex drive tanked completely, which was about as fun as that sounds. I did my homework in hopes of restoring it, because I felt like I lost a vital part of myself overnight. I soon discovered people online using maca root to boost libido while on anti-anx...

I wrote a post here for my first solo trip in May 2025, but I never got around to writing a second post for my trip with my wife in October 2025 (so if I make any references to “we” in this post, it’s referring to us being on this prior trip). For reference, it’s here (https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/1cv5fqi/trip_report_0505_0517_mainly_tokyo_iidx_traveling); I will try to keep my writing more direct and plain this time. For this visit, the timing presented itself such that I had a milestone achieved, so this was something of a celebratory event, and if I didn’t go now, I likely wouldn’t be able to be back until May 2026 at earliest, and with the way things are acro...

So mirtazipine is helping I don't feel like I have to puke 24/7, it took that "edge off" but anytime I try to eat something it's as if it just gets stuck in my stomach and nothing happens aside from saliva crawling up my throat that tastes odd, which then in turn I end up puking. My head hurts all the time lately and I can't get the migraines to stop. I'm almost completely out of "safe food" options. I am getting referred to gastro and I'm really hoping that is the ticket. I know that it sounds crazy to want the g tube, I wish I wasn't in a position I felt I kind of do "want" the g tube! But realistically this is my 3rd pregnancy,...

The small amounts of histamine obtained from foods or from the gut microbiome are usually broken down in the intestines by diamine oxidase (DAO). However, when there is damage in the intestines or **a genetic impairment of DAO**, the histamine from foods can be enough to trigger systemic reactions. Foods that are particularly high in histamine include * red wine * aged cheeses * chocolate * sauerkraut, fermented foods ...

I’m looking for some advice/guidance on my Diamondback Terrapin tank. This guy is about a year and a half old in a 20 gallon tank. I have UVB lighting and a heater set to 78 degrees. I have a sunny area for him to bask and also a non heated rest area. I’m alternating his feeding with turtle pellets and freeze dried pond fish. I also supplement with home raised snails from another tank that never last longer than a day, clams are also in the tank, he likes to search for them but I rarely see any empty shells. There’s a turtle scratch thing in there but I’ve only seen him use it a handful of times. There are a variety of fish in there, most of them are tetras. All my mollies got eaten,...

I got my procambarus alleni when he was around 5-7 months old. They have a life span of 2-3 years, sometimes even 5 years. For almost 2 weeks now he has not been eating, showing no interest in his regular "canned" foods, and not even in his favourite, peas. I know they dont eat before molting bla bla he is almost 2 years by now I know how it works. 2-3 days ago I came home to him laying on his side, walking "drunk", flipping himself on his back and so on. The next day he was back to laying "cramped" up in a corner of his cave, not moving his body (like the last 1-2 weeks) and just his antennas (I don't know the english word for this, sorry). Now my question...

I experienced an event where I was eating and it felt like food was just sitting in my esophagus (I could still breathe) which sent me into my first ever panic attack. I work in healthcare and have seen people choke plus I’m under stress from college. I’ve been living off thin mashed potatoes & gravy and protein shakes for a while now. I don’t even take my medication unless I can dissolve it or have a support person nearby. I really want to eat I do, I’m so hungry but the globus sensation makes me very anxious.

Hi everyone, I’m a 29 y/o F Since March, I’ve been feeling worse and worse, and it started pretty suddenly. I became depressed out of nowhere. I’ve had some stress and trauma to process, but this depression felt completely unexpected and unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I’ve dealt with anxiety (and have ADHD) in the past, but never actual depression. The weird thing is, it’s not constant. Some days I feel lighter, other days I feel really heavy. I have hay fever and dust mite allergy but haven’t noticed any strong reactions to food except apples, almonds, pears, and some other fruits—they make my palate itchy. I also often have headaches, acne, and red, dry cheeks ...

I got my blood tests back, and I’m high (204) for cholesterol and low (21) for vitamin D (almost deficient). Can anyone recommend an inexpensive calcium supplement plus D that isn’t a candy? My diet isn’t perfect, but I don’t eat red meat, ice cream, or fried foods. I eat similar foods every day, takeout once a week, and I rarely eat at restaurants. I exercise 6 days a week, don’t drink alcohol much anymore (cannabis edible at night), and I don’t smoke. No soda or sugary drinks at all. Here’s my typical diet: Morning: dehydrated fruit & cashews, yogurt Lunch: triscuits and cheese (one serving), berries Snack: clif bar or pita/hummus Usual Dinners: Mex: b...

On weekends breakfast is usually just coffee because I don’t get hungry early, so I enjoy a more filling lunch!
