Hey Reddit!

I’m going abroad to London starting September 1st - December 12th (ish), and I’m looking for a good eSIM. I’m planning on doing a lot of short trips to other countries (I have one to Edinburgh already booked, but I’m also hoping to visiting Ireland, Amsterdam, Italy, etc.)

I’d prefer an app where I can get one long plan for the UK, and shorter day plans for my weekend trips to other countries. I’d also prefer an unlimited data plan so I don’t have to worry about my data usage.

Is there an app that’s easy and good for this kind of travel? Simlocal has a 90 day unlimited UK plan with roaming for $120, Holafly’s is $140, Simify has one for the UK and 50 other European countries for $130 - are these reasonable? I truly know nothing about this so any advice/things to watch out for so I don’t get scammed would be very appreciated!

Hey Reddit,

I’ve been dealing with chronic bloating and constipation for as long as I can remember (10 ish years), and this summer I decided to experiment with an elimination diet to find the root cause. Part of that experiment has been tracking everything I eat, as well as my bloating on a scale from 0-5 throughout the day.

I started Vyvanse this week for my ADHD and BED (30mg as a 20 y/o female) and among the other effects, noticed that it almost immediately cured my bloating and constipation. I know I’m eating the same food in the same amounts, but when I used to start my day at a .5-1 and end at a 3.5-5 bloat - I’m now starting at a 0 and ending at a 2-2.5. It also resulted in regular morning bowel movements, which I normally never have. I know Vyvanse can affect bowel movements, but I haven’t seen anyone else with gut issues talk about the bloating (if anything people say it SLOWS their gut motility).

I didn’t take it today after 4 days on it to see the difference, and the bloating and constipation is right back where it was (ended the day at a 4.5 - ow). I struggle to find another variable that could explain the reduction in my bloating as everything else in my life and routine has stayed the same. Has anyone else experienced this?? It’s so nice to feel normal - will this go away as I continue to take the medication and my body gets used to it?

Hey Reddit,

I’ve been on a “weight loss journey” for the past 2 ish years - which quickly devolved into a BED and terrible relationship with calories and food. Long story short, I’m going abroad next semester and the last thing I want is to feel like I can’t do anything fun because I refuse to eat anything but whole foods that I’ve cooked and weighed myself. The mindset I’ve developed will make my experience so much worse and I really want to just be able to enjoy my experience abroad while I can. I’ve been maintaining my goal weight for most of the summer, and want to start intuitively eating in August to hopefully set up a good healthy foundation before I leave on the 31st.

My history with binge eating makes me nervous. The second I put the scale away my all or nothing mindset kicks in and I go crazy. I am extremely disciplined when I’m counting calories, especially while I’ve been trying to figure out the cause of some GI issues and have been on specific restrictive diets most of the summer. I avoid eating at restaurants or eating food I haven’t meticulously weighed and prepared myself (I don’t feel comfortable eating food my family members prepared for example), and I recognize how disordered it’s become. How do I go about my intuitive eating journey? I feel like I’m in a better place than I used to be with my self control around food, but I’m worried once those mental roadblocks lift I won’t be able to control myself. I’ve worked so hard to get down to my GW and finally be somewhat happy with how I look, and I’d hate to undo two years of progress because I’ve lost the ability to listen to my body’s natural cues around food anymore. Any advice about IE, especially when living in a foreign country or during a big transition would be much appreciated!

Hey Reddit,

This summer I’ve been on a gut healing journey to hopefully reduce the chronic, extreme bloating and constipation I’ve been dealing with for about 10 years. Long story short, I tried low FODMAP with little to no results, and I’m now focusing on an anti-inflammatory whole foods only diet until I can finally see a GI.

I saw an ENT this weekend because I noticed a lot of unusual vocal fatigue recently and he diagnosed me with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), otherwise known as “silent GERD.” He prescribed me Famotidine to help with the reflux, but I’m concerned messing with my stomach acid will harm my digestion and make my bloating worse. I know LPR can sometimes be related to SIBO, and I’m suspicious all these symptoms are connected. Does anyone have any experience with this medication? How did it affect your digestion / microbiome?

Hey Reddit!

I’ve had curtain bangs for a few years now and every time I get them cut I feel like they aren’t quite right. I’ve only left a salon once or twice actually liking my bangs, and I want to make sure I get a good haircut before I go abroad for a semester in September. Is there anyone in the southern Maine area (I’m around Portland but willing to travel) who is good with curtain bangs?

Hey Reddit,

Following a very intense low-FODMAP elimination diet I am planning on starting a loosely anti inflammatory diet (eating sourdough and dairy since I’ve found I tolerate them fine). I want to focus on eating Whole Foods, limiting caffeine, avoiding refined sugars and artificial sweeteners, limiting processed foods, avoiding gums, thickeners, additives, and artificial flavors & colors, and seed oils. On my diet, I tried to eat some siete potato chips, since they were just potatoes, avocado oil, and salt - which were all things I’d been eating on the elimination diet. They made my stomach hurt! I did some research and found that certain food processing changes the chemistry of the food and can make them inflammatory. Are there any food processes that are still okay? I’d like to be able to eat chicken sausage again (with the right ingredients), and switch back over to PBfit instead of regular peanut butter - but I’m nervous about the chemistry of food processing now. Any insight would be appreciated!

Am I the only one who’s noticed that EVERYONE seems to be reformulating right now? I feel like every time I repurchase one of my ride or die foods the macros have changed. Is there a reason or is it just coincidence?
