 you value, those who stick around for the long run. Just know that even the closest of friends may eventually drift away, too. And that's okay.

It's okay not to know how to make friends, because the circumstances in which you meet different people will be different every time. The process can be as fluid and as natural as running water. I can tell you that out of, say, 400 people, I will have made 2 solid close friends.

You will find others who naturally gravitate toward you one day. It's up to you and the potential friend in question if you'd want to continue your relationship based on your shared likenesses. Two-way street and all, you know? In the meantime, fellow internet stranger-friend, keep on keepin' on. :)Has your GI advised you take antispasmotics daily according to a schedule or for pain only?
Mine (Levbid form the GI Specialist and Donnatal from the Primary) were both ordered as needed for pain.
Maybe this is because I don't have a diagnosis yet. Have had blood work, stool cultures for ova and paracites, ct scan with oral and iv contrast of the abdomen and pelvis, and a colonoscopy (had 2 polyps removed). Have also had a course of Flagyl initially.
What I have learned from all of you to help control diarrhea is to add a calcium citrate with vitaminD daily. I also take 1 dose of metamucil daily per the GI doc. I have Lomotil on hand for emergencies and Gas-x for when I think I'd like to die.
Despite this I am still the "human smoothie machine" and have chronic RLQ pain. Any advise?
I was told to take them when needed but I don't have cramping. I have more like gas pockets that don't really hurt though. They have never done much for me. I was given Donnatal last time but have not taken it cause I know it will make me sleepy as it has phenobarbital in it. I sure don't think you should be taking both. Levsin is not as strong as Donnatal. As for the Gas-x I take one every time I finish eating to prevent gas buildup and pain. they are the safest of anything you are taking. The Caltrate with D should help.
Most everyone I know that has an antispasmodic rx only takes it as needed (like Canyon mentioned).
I and two family members have been on scheduled antispasmodics for years (Levsin, Bentyl). We use meds like Donnatal as a rescue. I believe it just depends upon the individual needs of the person. If I were you, I would take the GasX routinely until you don't have the gas problem, then as needed.
Also, walking is great for gas pain. Sometimes I spend hours walking circles in my house because I can't go out in the sun. Put on some music and go for it!
thank you for helping me with this question. I have been taking one levbid usually sometime mid morning. I only take the donnatal at bedtime. I have been taking them only when needed (really needed) and since they haven't really helped I thought maybe I was taking them wrong and should be using them more regularly, so thank you for clearing that up.
I thought I was doing better for a few days but then diarrhea again today.
I give up. Will wait to see what the GI doc says at my follow-up on June 1.
I quess that its true - cows are the number one producers of greenhouse gasses. I think my daughter Rachel is the number 2 producer!!!
I was watching Modern Marvels - Cattle Ranches on tv one night and it said that the cattle industry was the number one or number two user in the world of pepto bismol. See, cows are supposed to eat grass, but in the U.S. we feed them corn, a seed, because it makes them fatter faster. But that's not good on their digestive systems, so they give them bismuth to quell their gas and bloating.
Makes you want free-range beef, doesn't it? Of course it also makes a good point about eating things you shouldn't and causing your guts problems. I've been trying to eat less processed foods, less "fake" foods; I wonder if anyone has ever cleared up their IBS or at least made it better by going organic?
I don't know about IbS begin cleared up but there are people that say they have cleared up their Crohn's by an organic diet of just fruits and vegetables.
My mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (they're revising that right now and think maybe she has a type of arthritis instead), and one of their recommendations was organic everything because even a slight residue of chemicals seems to make the attacks worse and more frequent.UPDATE: NASA does not plan to send nudes into space, according to Snopes. The literature published was conceptual, not an action plan.
NASA, nudes and aliens? It's a story causing a lot of buzz around the planet and possibly beyond.
NASA is planning on sending nudes into space with hopes of capturing the attention of extraterrestrial creatures.
The pictures won't be graphic photographs of naked humans but instead a drawing of a naked man and a woman next to a depiction of DNA.
The man and women will be waving in the images in an attempt to look more inviting.
That won't be the only information transmitted into space, possibly using radio telescopes in China and northern California.
"The proposed message includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication followed by information on the biochemical composition of life on Earth, the Solar System's time-stamped position in the Milky Way relative to known globular clusters, as well as digitized depictions of the Solar System, and Earth's surface. The message concludes with digitized images of the human form, along with an invitation for any receiving intelligences to respond," states a summary of "A Beacon in the Galaxy: Updated Arecibo Message for Potential FAST and SETI Projects," a scholarly article featured in the March 2022 edition of "Galaxies."

It’s sometimes a completely new company, a rebrand, or a freshen up of their current logo. This is something which we generally only offer to our website clients, and comes as part of their package.
But, shhhh, we did this logo as a one-off!Interested to hear input on this as I have a Saker 7.62 getting paroled soon and just assumed it would work fine with the 51T module on my Breakout 2.0 equipped SCAR 17.
Mine fits and fits well. Not sure how it wasn't for u.
Just got off the phone with Silencerco and they said the maad 51T does NOT work with Breakout 2.0 because it's slightly longer. They did say that an ASR maad mount is available for the Saker 762.
So the solution is to change the muzzle device.
For anyone interested. You can see that it hits the first baffle and the teeth are still exposed.
Thanks Jeremy! That's what I figured was the fitment issue with the added length of the Breakout 2.0 combined with the MAAD 51T mount. Once again, you're an invaluable asset to this forum...
Reactions: Smurky, Troublesx10 and Jeremy M.
I'm perplexed. Would this be different with the Saker 556 and Brakeout 2.0 51T?
I'm pretty sure mine locks up as tight as a drum but now you all have me second guessing.
I've put some rounds through it as well.
Which is the new revision and when was it released?
Ok, definitely not happy about this one.
First it was AAC saying the Brakeout 2.0 would work on the 17s and then they determined that only the Blackout FH was suitable.
Now Silencerco has a mount that doesn't work with the 2.0 and they don't make any note of it.
I wish Silencer Shop had mentioned this lack of compatibility when I purchased the Saker 556 from them. Had I known this was an issue I would have got the Saker with the Trifecta mount option. Now I have a $240 Maad mount that is useless to me.
I'm getting really tired of d***ing around with muzzle devices.
You can can see the marks where the Brakeout 2.0 contacts the baffle.
I just got off the phone with Silencerco and they had something interesting to say. I told them I had ran a few rounds through the Saker 556 with the Brakeout 2.0 combo. I mentioned that I was concerned that I may have had some baffle damage due to the 2.0's length & compatibility issues.
The guy on the phone was very nice and said that this was the first he had heard of it. He put me on hold so he could talk to somebody and verify.
He came back and acknowledged all said issues with the 2.0 contained in this thread. In an interesting turn of events I got a response that I did not expect.
He said, "keep doing what you're doing". If you have a problem and we know it's not working give us a call back; then we will get you taken care of".
I am not upset by the response, honestly I really don't know what to think
