I set out to learn Spanish almost exactly one year ago, deciding it was ridiculous to be monolingual in a world of thousands of languages. My approach was as intensive as the author's; I completed the Duolingo skill tree, read books on

> The flora in the probiotic is really nothing that shouldn't already be in a healthy gut Perhaps the important factor isn't which species are present, but their distribution or some other factor of which we are still ignorant.

I'm willing to try anything safe and shown to be effective scientifically. However, at the moment I have poor health insurance and little disposable income, and my GI doc wants me to do a CT scan that would cost me $1600 out of pocket

Multiple times and not just for IBS but many reasons ranging from breaking a weight loss plateau to preventing anxiety attacks after the probiotics. It definitely reduces IBS symptoms while I'm not eating, but the hunger makes me unabl

Most of my panic attacks occurred immediately after a meal as well. I discovered a couple of interesting things: * Magnesium Citrate tablets were able to stop or lessen the attacks, but only when they occurred after a meal. I suspect the

I don't for sure. In fact, it is definitely confounded by the fact that I quit my SSRI a month and a half prior. However, the reaction I described began a day after I started the probiotic. Also, it gradually decreased in intensity ove

What do you think about the possibility that the etiology is neurological? Here's my reasoning: * There's also no simple yes/no test for most mental illnesses * It explains why it correlates so heavily with anxiety disorders

From the little research I've done, it looks like the bifidobacterium genus, in particular certain strains of bifidobacterium longum [0,1] and infantis [2], have favorable effects on IBS and anxiety. Interestingly, in [1] they noted th

I've tried eliminating wheat, sugar (in case it was fructose malabsorption), dairy, etc. I've tried tons of supplements like fish oil or vitamin D. Interestingly, each of those except dairy had very positive effects on my health

Be very careful with probiotics; just loading your system with random strains of bacteria from your local health food store can have serious consequences. I have IBS and an anxiety disorder that had been in remission for years. I tried Prim

It shouldn't matter whether something is a drug, vitamin, or dietary supplement. What matters is whether there is scientific proof of efficacy for what you are trying to accomplish. I have long struggled with social anxiety, and under

I have IBS and a history of panic disorder. A couple weeks ago, after five years of no attacks I had a relapse after taking a probiotic. I'm almost back to normal (heart palpitations and slight uneasiness whenever I eat) but man, that

I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, but I also greatly desire a "real" Linux phone, particularly built on the GNOME platform. I have dozens of reasons why I think it could be groundbreaking, but I'm well

I'm extremely excited for the Wayland support in 3.14. Being able to drag a window without it and the cursor getting out of sync really makes the interface feel that much better. It's equivalent to the difference in smoothness bet

I booted up Fedora Rawhide from a flash drive last week, and the padding on buttons was significantly reduced. I think it was 3.13.2.

See the two heuristics in this paper for creating clusters of bitcoin users [0]. The first (and rather obvious) one is to cluster all inputs of a transaction, so if you use A and B, and later use B and C, we now know the same user owns A, B

Interestingly, and although all my anecdotal evidence disagrees with this, on the short term sleep deprivation supposedly does the opposite [0]. I have trouble with insomnia as well, and my experience is basically the same as yours. If I do

If anybody uses Fedora 20 and wants to test out the new release, Richard Hughes set up a COPR for 3.12. I've been using it for a couple weeks without any major issues. http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2014/02&#x

I tried to unmaximize a window by dragging the title bar like in Windows 7 or GNOME 3. I have no idea why I expected that to work.

The only med I take is Citalopram, which I started for anxiety, but now only take because I don't have time to deal with withdrawals, having fixed my problems through other means. As far as supplements go, I'm a junkie, but I&#x27

This article is so ignorant and painfully wrong in every single way. I think the author is just butthurt about being banned from GNOME's bugzilla (which he very much deserved in my opinion). GNOME 3 is by far the best desktop environme

People have spent the time writing it, but it's still too buggy to be deployed. Somehow, it even has a tendency to actually corrupt the SD card. I'm not a GPU driver developer, so take this all with a grain of salt, but my underst
