So about the post where ‘everyone finds out you were missing 1 vitamin, and that 1 vitamin fixes whats wrong with you, and everyone is horrified you were surviving without that vitamin’ is actually real for me this week. Turns out I was very vitamin B12 deficient. And its the probable cause for the severe headaches and fatigue I’ve been having. And the concerning numbness.
Everyone who has found out has reacted with horror. And now I am getting rapid medical attention to find out what exactly is causing this vitamin to be so low.
#maybe celiacs maybe some other GI issue either way the doctors were very concerned to figure this out#so guys sometimes it may actually be just one vitamin#easy solution I need to take B12 and also vitamin D but I knew that for a long while

Day 17 - Jealous kiss
Characters: Solomon x gn!MC
25 kisses challenge Masterlist
Main Masterlist
CW: none, just fluff. Developing relationship.
.
Getting used to only seeing the moon, especially an unfamiliar one, was something that took more of MC’s time than they would like to admit. The darkness, loosing track of time and the drop in temperature were one thing, but it was the lack of vitamin D what proved to be a significant problem. Their body weakened and their mood plummeted to the point where even Lucifer panicked.
Fortunately for all of them, the solution was as simple as adding certain foods to their diet, mainly fish, and of course the brothers bought enough to feed an entire army. In the end, however, MC grew sick of it and resorted to consuming vitamin D supplement pills.
Then they had the dilemma of finishing the whole stack of seafood that filled the entire kitchen, including the fridge, the freezer and the cabinets. Not even Beel could force himself to gulp it down and soon Satan had the genius idea of feeding it to the stray cats.
They would get rid of the awful smell that roamed the house and other cats would visit in hopes of getting more gourmet treats, because where else would they find salmon or trout? At first, obviously, Lucifer refused in fear of any animal creeping inside the house while no one was looking, but once Asmo begged for the damn dead fish to get out, no one dared to complain.
So that’s where they were, the Avatar of Wrath almost crying in happiness while cats climbed all over his body, his younger brother beside him taking selfies with the cutest kittens and MC in a more secluded space giving all of their attention to a particular cat. It had greyish blue eyes and striking long white fur, stained with dirt, but beautiful nonetheless.
A certain sorcerer with similar features stared at them while they cooed at the cat, kissing its nose, scratching its ears and massaging its little paws.
“If I didn’t know you any better”, MC said with uncharacteristic pompousness “I’d think you were jealous”
“Me? Jealous?”
Solomon’s expression was mischievous, but a glint in his eyes betrayed him. He was definitely jealous.
“You must be imagining things, my dear MC”
The term of endearment made their heart flutter, still vulnerable to his teasing even after weeks of endless flirting. Those who weren’t close to them already thought they were dating and after the kiss they’d shared a few days ago during RAD’s latest festival, they might as well be.
It had been a nervous gesture, too short for both of their likings, but MC hadn’t stopped thinking about it. The taste of soda on both of their lips, his hands on their waist, gently keeping them close.
The memory made them feel like a love-struck schoolgirl.
“From the way I see it, you’re simply being too selfish with your affections”
They turned to the side to look at him with an incredulous smile, hugging the cat close to their chest and rubbing its belly. Solomon’s eyebrow twitched at the sight.
“Whatever do you mean?”
“Isn’t it clear?”
“Enlighten me”
Solomon opened his mouth to speak, but his words got stuck in his throat when MC shimmied their way to his body, resting impossibly close to him and letting the cat smell his RAD uniform. He smiled with genuine care and scratched its chin, once again unknowingly increasing MC’s heartbeat.
“Look at him, how handsome he is” murmured MC, their head oriented towards the cat, but their eyes directly looking at the blushing sorcerer “His white hair, his grey eyes… I could kiss him over and over and over again…”
And so they did, hoisting it until their heads were at the same height and enthusiastically pressing loud kisses on the fur. It smelled bad, but they did it anyways.
“Are you being mean on purpose?”
MC laughed at his childish complaint, trying not to make too much fun of his pout and his crossed arms. He only looked at them again when they finally let the cat go and threw themselves at him, making Solomon gasp in surprise.
“You’re funny”
The whisper clashed against his lips and became inaudible to everyone but them.
This kiss was even shorter than the one they shared at the festival, but it eased Solomon’s frown and it made his small smile reappear. He hugged their waist before they could get too far and deepened the kiss, not letting them go until a delighted screech reached their ears.
By the time they turned around, Asmodeus had already taken a picture.

I got tagged in a "People I'd like to know better" thing by @primamchorus, @allyennah, @semper-miles and @sileniadream, thank you all! I assure you I'm not that interesting though. Let's see...
Last Song: With Nobody Else by In Paradise, super cute song from a super fun band.
Favorite Color: Wine Red!
Currently Watching: Someone speedrunning Fable 1 on GDQ
Last Movie: I think my husband made me watch Bullet Train about a year ago?
Sweet/Spicy/Savory: If I have to choose, savory, but a proper dish balances all three!
Relationship Status: 13.5 years together, 9 married to the best person in the world, my goofball, my goober, my dork, my best friend, my irl Elezen, my everything.
Current Obsessions: chilling tf out and writing my canon fic - except I'm horribly stuck on a part. But if I keep beating my head against the brick wall surely it'll give. Eventually.
Last Thing in my Search History: "how long does vitamin d take to work" (the answer: a few weeks of consistently taking supplements each day, longer for people with certain health issues. It would be really cool if simply being vitamin d deficient was the solution to all of my issues but somehow I doubt it's that easy)
Thank you guys, you're all amazing and keep on keeping on <3

Me when the frustratingly simple mental health advice actually works
It's easier if you think of them as something that helps and not a magical solution to woosh all your problems away.
Sometimes small things build up, sometimes stretching in the morning can release stress you didn't know you felt, sometimes you didn't even realize that dehydration was affecting your mood.
Sleep in my personal experience is the biggest part of mental health. Sleep and vitamin D. You have NO idea how important it is until you get vitamin D for the first time and suddenly you just get it.
It's ok if your sleep schedule isn't perfect, I'm not saying you need to wake up at 5 am. I am saying that getting enough rest and enough vitamin D is important.

huh. so as a logical consequence of being in bed all the time & having to block off every source of natural light in my home i have a pretty major vitamin d deficiency (10ng/ml rip) and my doc has decided the solution is to experimentally give me several giant 50,000iu doses to fix it. feel like im going to be at least fifty percent vit d after this. going to be a big ball of vit d which other people can absorb their daily vit d from

Disability community, I have failed for 2 decades to get diagnoses for lifelong (onset at 10) health issues and am now at the point of crowdsourcing internet knowledge. I am looking for potential diagnoses and the tests you know of that found them for:
-Severe gastroporesis (stomach muscles don't work, first/common symptoms are nausea and acid reflux along with IBS like digestive symptoms)
-Orthostatic Hypotension (blood pressure drops on changing position causing fainting/vision loss/numbness - I'm aware of POTS but I'm looking for something that is Causing all of my symptoms)
-Weakened/compromised immune system, especially leading to chronic respiratory illness and "walking" chronic pneumonia and strep
-Muscles very prone to sprain/pulling even with very little action or motion, chronic muscle pain
-Extreme chronic fatigue
-Chronically low vitamin D that doesn't match lifestyle
-Not a symptom but something I know can be involved with chronic issues: I am also AFAB intersex and autistic
Do you have these symptoms and a diagnosis? Do you remember what tests led you to answers? I have had all the regular tests run over and over, I have had all the obvious solutions (diabetes, thyroid, low iron/anemia) thoroughly checked including months long sugar and heart studies. My heart is fine, my blood pressure is NOT. No family history that seems related, beyond the autism and intersex traits being clearly inherited.
Why am I willing to listen to strangers on the internet? Bc I have been waiting 8 months to see a single specialist that May be able to prescribe more tests that May lead to an answer, since they canceled the last appointment the day before. Because I am so sick I cannot work or do the things that used to bring me joy, and am living in abject poverty. Because I didn't find a doctor who didn't dismiss and blame these symptoms on my weight or depression until I was 27, and by the time I got the SYMPTOMS named and diagnosed (not the root causes of them) that doctor had left the practice and I'm back at square 1 with "let's rerun the yearly tests and check your A1c for literally the 19th time in your life." Any answers, any tests you know of and can recommend, I am willing to hear out and research bc I am out of time health and patience with this system.
#disability#cripplepunk#cpunk#chronic illness#chronic disability#gastroporesis#hypotension#immunocompromised#intersex#autism#literally i will take any info you have Im currently going through my whole family tree trying to get info on anyone else with these sympto#it takes months to see my pcp i cannot go in without a list of what to test for and why anymore i cannot keep doing this#im afraid im dying i FEEL like im dying and im tired im in pain and im fucking PISSED#so any info any relevant experience is appreciated#and i know my story is the one so so many of us have had too and sending love out to anyone else who's been through this hell#i made a reddit account for the first time to post in /askdocs#im like give me ANYTHING anywhere to go from here

I saw my primary dr last night, some things:
We discussed how no treatment has really worked. All my bloodwork is always coming back the same, deficiencies in b vitamins, vitamin d, even when I take supplements and change my diet. Cant lose weight but also like, he doesn’t want me to just drop a billion pounds either.
We sat for a brief moment of frustrated silence, (this man is adhd and open about it and speaks very fast so this is unusual) and then he almost started bouncing.
He’s testing me for a genetic variant that would 100% make sense with about 90% of my symptoms. Where I don’t absorb folic acids, b vitamins etc. I looked it up and if I do have that, I’d be one in like 60 people documented??? If I read correctly (keep in mind I am not a dr and may have read something slightly wrong however everything he explained matched up with the articles I read and yes they were medical articles and peer reviewed)
Weirdest blood draw I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot. One was on ice. A LOT of ice. The other was wrapped immediately so no light could get in. The phlebotomist said she’s only done a draw like this once, and never heard of what it was actually for and would be googling it herself. (We both agreed it was strange)
This dr is the only one who has fought to find any solution. He’s seriously tried anything he can think of. And referred me out to see if anyone else can figure something out. I’m about to be 34 and never had a dr bother with anything but a single blood test and a “well everything is basically normal so here take some vitamins” and then stop seeing me. So I’m shocked and also so grateful.
Idk if I have whatever he’s testing me for. We’ll see soon I guess. But yeah. House but not ya know, breaking the law figuring out wtf is wrong with me (I don’t think at least)

But that means I have no energy to do anything damn 😅 and there is only slow solutions slowly removing sugar again l, more water intake, and vitamin d and magnesium supplements, + better sleep , less stress, more exercising, less sugar more salty breakfast and full meals, halleluyah lets try this.
#lenafe;)#<3#look when tired#Pcos#damn i keep forgetting i have it#time to self care again#hellow#bismillah hum#medstudent#med studyblr#medicine#Pcos awareness#I haven’t told my friends about it#:) i just excuse myself by saying im tired or something but its starting to feel like a handicap again#Not letting this ruin my life#or ruin my mind#اللهم توفيقك

First my uncle tells me that the reason I have multiple sclerosis is because the vaccines in meat make it a breeding ground for parasites, and those parasites stole all my vitamin D. Now my mom is sending me links like this (apparently there’s a post somewhere in the group saying that mushrooms will help fix my brain).
I’m getting really tired of this magical thinking nonsense. Like, I could maybe understand it a bit when I got hit by a car a few years ago and my uncle told me to rub salty moon water on myself and I’ll get better faster, because (while I might not have had any open wounds) flushing a wound with saline solution does help to keep infection down. But this is just getting fundamentally unhelpful, if not flat out harmful. I’m not stopping my meds just to eat more mushrooms and hope that that works.

Is Lactose-Free Cow Milk the Ideal Choice for Lactose-Intolerant Individuals?
Lactose intolerance is a prevalent condition worldwide, affecting millions of people who experience digestive discomfort when consuming regular milk and dairy products. For those individuals, lactose-free cow milk offers a promising alternative. But how beneficial is it? In this blog, we will delve deeply into the topic, exploring what lactose-free cow milk is, its benefits, drawbacks, and its role in managing lactose intolerance.
Understanding Lactose Intolerance: The Basics
What is Lactose?
The Root Cause of Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance occurs due to a deficiency of the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down lactose into glucose and galactose. When lactose isn’t digested, it passes into the colon, where gut bacteria ferment it. This fermentation leads to symptoms like:
Bloating
Abdominal pain
Gas
Diarrhea
Nausea
Prevalence of Lactose Intolerance
Lactose intolerance affects approximately 68% of the global population. Its prevalence varies widely:
Over 90% in East Asian populations
60–80% in Sub-Saharan African and South Asian populations
15–25% in Northern European populations
The severity of symptoms varies among individuals based on their lactase enzyme levels and the amount of lactose consumed.
What is Lactose-Free Cow Milk?
Lactose-free cow milk is regular a2 desi cow milk that has been specially treated to remove or neutralize lactose. The two main methods used are:
Enzymatic Treatment: Lactase enzyme is added to the milk to break down lactose into glucose and galactose. This process mimics the natural digestion of lactose in the body.
Ultrafiltration: Physical methods are used to filter out lactose molecules from the milk.
Despite these modifications, lactose-free milk retains its nutritional profile, including:
High-quality protein: Essential for muscle growth and repair.
Calcium: Vital for bone health.
Vitamin D: Crucial for calcium absorption and immune support.
B Vitamins: Important for energy metabolism and red blood cell formation.
The Benefits of Lactose-Free Cow Milk
1. Relief from Digestive Discomfort
Lactose-free milk eliminates the primary trigger of symptoms in lactose-intolerant individuals. By removing or breaking down lactose, it allows people to enjoy milk without bloating, cramps, or diarrhea.
2. Nutritional Equivalence
Lactose-free milk provides the same nutrients as regular A2 cow milk, ensuring that individuals meet their dietary requirements for:
Calcium and Vitamin D: Essential for bone density and preventing osteoporosis.
Protein: Important for maintaining overall health, especially for growing children, athletes, and elderly individuals.
3. Improved Taste
Interestingly, many people find lactose-free milk slightly sweeter than regular milk. This is because the enzymatic breakdown of lactose produces glucose and galactose, which are naturally sweeter than lactose.
4. No Major Dietary Changes Required
Switching to lactose-free milk allows lactose-intolerant individuals to maintain a dairy-inclusive diet without the need for drastic changes. It can be used in the same way as regular milk for drinking, cooking, baking, or adding to beverages like tea and coffee.
5. Wider Availability
With the growing awareness of lactose intolerance, lactose-free milk is now widely available in supermarkets, making it an accessible choice for most consumers.
How Does Lactose-Free Milk Differ from Dairy-Free Alternatives?
It’s essential to differentiate between lactose-free and dairy products. While they may seem similar, they cater to different dietary needs:
Lactose-free milk is ideal for those who are lactose-intolerant but still want the nutritional benefits of cow milk, whereas dairy-free milk is suitable for those with both lactose intolerance and dairy allergies or who follow a vegan lifestyle.
Potential Drawbacks of Lactose-Free Milk
While lactose-free cow milk is a great solution for many, there are some considerations to keep in mind:
1. Higher Cost
Lactose-free milk often comes at a premium price due to the additional processing involved. This may be a barrier for some consumers, especially in regions where regular milk is significantly cheaper.
2. Processing Concerns
The enzymatic treatment of milk involves industrial processing. While this is safe and does not compromise nutritional quality, some individuals prefer minimally processed foods.
3. Taste Preference
While many enjoy the slightly sweeter taste of lactose-free milk, others may find it less appealing compared to regular milk.
4. Not Suitable for Dairy Allergies
Lactose-free milk still contains proteins like casein and whey, which can trigger allergic reactions in individuals with a dairy allergy.
Scientific Validation: Is Lactose-Free Milk Effective?
Scientific studies strongly support the effectiveness of lactose-free milk in managing lactose intolerance:
Symptom Reduction: Research in the Journal of Dairy Science found that lactose-free milk significantly reduces gastrointestinal symptoms in lactose-intolerant individuals compared to regular milk.
Nutritional Impact: A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that lactose-free milk provides comparable calcium absorption to regular milk, ensuring bone health remains unaffected.
Consumer Satisfaction: Surveys indicate that most lactose-intolerant consumers find lactose-free milk an effective and convenient solution.
Lactose-Free Milk and Lifestyle
1. Cooking with Lactose-Free Milk
Lactose-free milk can be used as a direct substitute for regular milk in recipes. From creamy soups to baked goods, it performs just as well without altering the texture or consistency.
2. Inclusion in Diet Plans
Dieticians often recommend lactose-free milk for people who struggle to meet their calcium and protein needs due to lactose intolerance. It’s particularly useful for:
Children, who need milk for growth and development.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women, who have increased calcium demands.
Elderly individuals, who are at risk of bone density loss.
3. Fitness and Lactose-Free Milk
Lactose-free milk is an excellent post-workout drink, providing high-quality protein for muscle recovery and carbohydrates for energy replenishment.
The Market for Lactose-Free Milk: Trends and Innovations
The global market for lactose-free dairy products is expanding rapidly. Consumer demand is driven by:
Increasing awareness of lactose intolerance.
A growing preference for functional and specialty foods.
Advancements in food processing technologies.
Producers are innovating to improve the taste, texture, and nutritional value of lactose-free products, including flavored milk, lactose-free yogurt, and cheese.
Conclusion: Is Lactose-Free Cow Milk Good for Lactose Intolerant People?
The answer is a resounding yes. Lactose-free cow milk is a highly effective solution for lactose-intolerant individuals, offering all the benefits of regular milk without the discomfort. Its nutritional equivalence, versatility, and accessibility make it a practical choice for maintaining a healthy and balanced diet.
However, like any dietary choice, the decision to include lactose-free milk should consider personal preferences, budget, and health requirements. For most people with lactose intolerance, lactose-free milk represents the best of both worlds: the goodness of dairy without the drawbacks of lactose.
In a world where dietary inclusivity is increasingly important, lactose-free milk stands out as a testament to the power of innovation in meeting diverse nutritional needs.

Food Rant??
Imma be mad if y'all are being tricked by food companies so here....
Topics covered: instant coffee, "raw milk", double hydration / gatorade, and nitrate free meats
If you are stuck depending on instant coffee, you can get a Vietnamese Metal Coffee Filter to make coffee with hot water and coffee grounds. It's a great alternative if you only have hot water or don't have a coffee machine or stovetop. They range at about 7ish American dollars for a cheap one. Robusta beans are a form of coffee bean that is "cheaper" than other coffee beans and are often used in instant coffee, an already cheap product. The global prices for coffee beans can be pretty low compared to the labor of them, so being able to buy from a trusted company is really important. If you wanted to try a different coffee from a different brand, hopefully now you can. That or doing something like switching to tea or a less labor-intensive product can help farmers a lot. :D
Read More (3): https://stories.publiceye.ch/nestle-coffee/ (public eye), https://www.nestle.com/ask-nestle/human-rights/answers/paying-coffee-farmers-mexico-fair-prices (nestle directly), https://www.business-humanrights.org/en/latest-news/mexico-coffee-farmers-accuse-nestlé-of-a-ruthless-purchasing-policy-they-cant-afford-basic-needs-response-from-nestlé/ (Business + Human Rights Center)
This one is more influencers.... :/
A fortified food is a food where an important nutrient has been added, usually to prevent disease or malnourishment. For instance, many milks are fortified with Vitamin D. Vitamin D does not occur naturally in milk, BUT it is super important for the absorption of calcium. One of the main ways most people get calcium is through milk products, and Vitamin D deficiency is REALLY REALLLLLLY common. Decades ago, so was calcium deficiency which hurt a lot of people's health. To prevent that calcium in milk from not being absorbed, Vitamin D is added (usually by government regulation in a lot of places but it's also super common otherwise).
Plus, a lack of Vitamin D has other health problems associated with it like depression and cancer.
I hate when people say "raw milk" is healthier for you because it's "unprocessed". I'm so sad about it. A "process" is literally anything that people do to the ingredients of a food before selling it. "Unprocessed" means an unfinished product. Unprocessed foods aren't always dangerous or anything, but milk is kind of the exception. Yes, the chance of "raw milk" itself hurting you is pretty low, but you're avoiding all the things that make milk so healthy. People put so much effort into making you that processed milk. :'(
Unfortunately, "Nutritionist" isn't a designated term for a healthcare professional. Someone is often just trying to sell you a brand or lifestyle.
Read More (2): (both from NIH) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK532266/ (VD Deficiency), https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6116165/ (About Fortified Milk)
Gatorade, Double Hydration, and other hydration drinks rely on Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT). ORT is a rehydration technique involving salt, sugar, and water which all need to be absorbed together. The solution can often be made at home.
Recipe: 6 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and one liter of water (it can vary from place to place because different areas have different intakes of salt and sugar in their diets but it's mostly the same)
It won't have the same flavor though. It's just important to know the basic science behind those drinks and that they're easy to make at home, so you can if you need.
Read More (2): (both from NIH) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9464461/ (basics), https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3043760/ (current advances)
Here's a bonus article about meat labeled "nitrate free" from the American Institute for Cancer Research: https://www.aicr.org/resources/blog/healthtalk-will-hot-dogs-and-bacon-preserved-with-celery-powder-still-increase-my-cancer-risk/
...they have the same health risks and they're LITERALLY not nitrate free because *cELerY sAlt
*celery salt
#im new here so idk how to tag :P#coffee#food#gatorade#I feel like it would go badly if I put “milk” as a tag#imma leave it like this.....
