    Reason #900 why I probably have bowel issues just from living in the USA.

      :yea:

      I remember being in Europe for a few weeks and my stomach issues completely went away. And then once I get back all of my issues return. I love it here

        Bruh whenever I visit Czechia I feel so much better maybe I should test this scientifically

          Same, but unfortunately I'm no-healthcare gang so in standard American fashion I simply have to deal with the symptoms and hope it goes away/doesn't get worse

        what kind of stomach issues you guys got? I've recently developed constant stomach rumbling with what I think is acid reflux or gastritis

          Honestly I don't even know. I'll be good for a while and then out of nowhere I'll have stomach pain and diarrhea, with straight up liquid being not uncommon. I'm pretty sure I have a dairy allergy of some kind since every time I have some I break out in pimples and abscesses so I've completely cut that out. I've spent months at a time trying to isolate if it's a specific food I might not be able to eat but as soon as I think I have it narrowed down, the problems come back despite not eating the supposed problem foods. I spent like 6 months thinking I couldn't eat avocados without it feeling like battery acid is coming out my ass, only to try it again accidentally and be perfectly fine. There will be times where I drink heavy and eat shitty food and my system is fine and there are others where I'm eating good and I'm fucked. It's exhausting and I've got to be a pain in the ass for my friends when we get food since I can't eat a ton of stuff. Being quasi-vegan helped marginally but I still end up having problems about as often as before.

          But when I was in Europe I ate like a trash disposal (including things that will 100% make me sick in the States) and drank like a fish and my system never once had an issue.

              It fluctuates but even when I was religiously taking psyllium husk my issues were hit or miss

      You can't even eat vegetables here and be healthy unless you either grow them yourself or have a good farmer's market nearby. Even then it can be tricky because I've known small farmers who do underhanded shit.

    I mean, if you eat the skin, you kinda deserve it. Let's be honest.

      You never use orange zest or skins on anything? Cakes or teas?

        I mainly just want to joke about how gross I think oranges are.

      I cook with the skin sometimes, or use it as cocktail garnish

    Don’t worry, Mike, you won’t be around long enough for that to matter. Borris is doing everything he can to make sure of that.
