Travelling in pads - have you done it?
Since I have had to return to commuting, I wear Tena pants to help manage my IBS-D. One of the issues I have is that the need to pee can trigger a bowel movement if I hold on to it. I don't know if its the pressure of a full bladder or the anxiety of an accident that triggers my bowels, maybe a bit of

benralizumab (fasedra)
I am keen to hear of experiences with benralizumab including side-effects and the length of time it’s remained effective (or whether it stopped working after a while). Also whether it has enabled people to come off oral steroids and bronchodilators. I was diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma,

B1/Thiamine dosing
Influenced by a thread here, I started taking 200 mg b1/thiamine a day. Was doing fine, but tried to double that and felt funky. It's so hard to know if it is the b1 or not. I am following the b1 dosing protocol and keeping up on magnesium, sodium and potassium. I am curious about others who does

E.Coli/UTI
As a result of some symptoms I reported to my Transplant Coordinator (“TC”) because I was recently prescribed Sodium Bicarbonate for the low CO2 result in my blood test, the TC ordered a Urine Culture test for me at LabCorp. It came back with a “colony” of bacteria in my bladder. I went thru 10 days

Bubbles in urine
Hello, Had a quick question about bubbles in urine. Some days my urine is totally clear. Perfect color no bubbles at all. Other days, usually the first/second time I go in the morning it has some bubbles in it. Can what you eat effect that? I eat a low protein diet, no red meat or poultry. Only
