I do still experience symptoms on medication.

My husband does this thing called intermittent fasting. He has a lot of body issues and has had eating disorders before. We both gained weight after getting Covid and now he will sometimes go 2 - 3 days at a time without eating. When he does, it is only rice and peas. He claims I'm being not a supportive partner around this and the "study I'm talking about when I tell him that's unhealthy was disproven in the 80s." I don't know what study he means but I'm worried. Is this actually healthy and I need to back off or am I right to be worried?

With tinnitus I have to make sure I'm never in a quiet environment and play white noise in my house and have to wear ear plugs if there's loud music. The others are somewhat easy to simply ignore and then I take allergy medicine for dermatographia

Tbh just hiding the pain and masking it so it's ignored is the best thing to do

Can digestive issues be a cause of fibromalgia?

Do you think another recession is inevitable in near future as post covid effects?

Black coffee means no milk or creamer. It literally refers to the color of the coffee.

Oh, I know. I was asking because I have patients time and time again ask about this following dietary consultation. While there is still a paucity of education on this subject in medical school and physicians are forced to do their own research, I still see antiquated advice pierce current recommendations. Thanks for your accuracy.

That sounds like a superpower, strokesfan91, and also not possible. You can only have a bowel movement when you have stool to pass. If there is no stool, you cannot poop. So, while Dave England may think he can poop on command, I would question this claim.

Sure thing, huh_phd. Put simply, nutritionist is not a regulated term. There is no defined curriculum, training, or education required to call yourself a nutritionist. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. To be a Registered Dietitian (RD), there is specific coursework you need to complete, The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPDs), a minimum 1200 hour dietetic internship, and passing of the RD examination which is distributed via the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
A list of the required coursework can be found here, and this is where I completed both my DPDs and Master's in clinical Nutrition, New York University.

Thanks, Peachyelise! Yes, the Bristol Stool Chart is a great reference for understanding what your poop means!

Deli meats, and any processed meats, are hardly healthy, PeriodicTrend. They are high in sodium and preservatives, including nitrates and nitrites. Nitrates and nitrites have been shown to produce cancer-causing compounds. In a study, 50g of processed meat eaten daily showed an increase in the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%.

I understand, Helpme_1992! Extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil tend to be more expensive, but they are significantly healthier than vegetable oils. Olive and avocado oils contain omega-3 fatty acids ("good fats") that help reduce inflammation. Vegetable oils have been shown to cause inflammation because they are higher in omega-6 fatty acids. When we consume too much vegetable oil, we get more omega-6 fatty acids than we need, throwing off the ideal ratio for omega 6:omega 3 (2:1). This is what then supports inflammation in the body.

Does the medication lessen the symptoms?
