I said this in a separate comment on this thread, but A+ low FODMAP as an elimination diet. The incorporation process takes forever, since you can only do one food at a time, and you have to give it a few days between foods, to be sure you’ve isolated that variable, but good gracious was it effective! I’ve had IBS as…

I did the low FODMAP diet as an elimination diet, to get me down to a baseline from which we could identify what foods were triggering my IBS. It was 8 weeks of FODMAP and I thought I would die. Luckily, at the end of it, we discovered that I only can’t ever eat onions again (or dairy, but I’ve been dairy-free for a…

Seconding the suggestion of a low FODMAP diet. You can try it (but follow strictly for 6-ish weeks) and if you’re feeling better, then add in items from one FODMAP group at a time to see if symptoms recur or not.

Currently trying it, too. It can be pretty tough.. but it really has helped me feel less bloated and that’s great. I have been constantly bloated for years. Do you have the Monash app??? It really is very helpful. I think part of what makes the diet bad is that it’s so hard to know what you can and can’t have, so the…

+1 for trying a low FODMAP diet, but FYI it was developed at Monash in Melbourne. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of any part of it coming out of Stanford - which isn’t to say they haven’t made any contribution (it’s been a while since I caught up on the literature), but they’re def not at ‘developed at’ status. Not that…

I’m low FODMAP rn and it’s seriously diminished my will to live.

As I believe Tennyson once said, it’s better to have pizza’d and lost than to never have pizza’d at all.

It’s ok Ellie. It won’t be like this forever. One day you’ll die. =)

Apology accepted. Take it from a nearly 40-year-old who is gluten intolerant and gluten free for nearly a decade: not feeling like shit is worth enduring the smug and snark. People who give others a hard time about their health and eating choices are generally assholes (or behaving like one). Welcome to the other…

That number is totally wrong. The world record efficiency is 46%. Gallium Arsenide “Space Grade” cells routinely exceed 30%. Silicon cells - what your calculator has - have diminishing returns above 20%, when they start to get really expensive.

Bob Lutz and friends made a ‘Vette powered one, but thats not this obviously. Oh and I strongly disagree with it being ugly.

Which then makes you sound even more exclusive, which then brings more people to you asking if you "party". You then try to scare them off with promises of sheetcake and bounce houses, but they just think you are so hip and ahead of them, they want you even more. Eventually you end up running an empire of night clubs…

Here I should clarify that I despise coyness and code-speak and that if you ask me whether I “party” the answer will be “not with you”

At 46 it means “Do you get pizza delivery and have a glass of wine in front of the TV on Fridays?”

Life hack: if your answer is “no,” then the meaning of the question becomes irrelevant

When I was 26, it meant “do you get drunk and then have sex with strangers?”
