Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 19th October 2025

@GezzaP yes that's what I love about it, it's such an easy but delicious meal 😋.

@Blackcloud oh no sweet, that's horrible. I've never had matcha and given my sensitive stomach I don't think I'll risk it. I have IBS but not officially diagnosed cos the testing for it is a little too far out of my comfort zone from trauma. So I can really sympathise with you, hoping the symptoms ease up for you soon sweet.

Sending you hugs beautiful ❤️

@MissGremlin Totally understandable my friend. There’s something that’s called SIBO (stands for ‘small intestinal bacterial overgrowth’) and I’ve learnt that about 80-85% of IBS itself comes from SIBO.

I took a functional test for it (as recommended by my naturopath) last year and it turned out that I indeed had SIBO, which was totally expected so I wasn’t surprised that I had it this whole time lol

my naturopath has a lived experience of IBS too so it was great having someone like her that has knowledge of all things regarding IBS

thank you my friend, sending you hugs back ❤️

@Blackcloud that's very interesting. So glad you have a good naturopath to help you and her having that lived experience would be great.

Thanks for those guns hugs sweet ❤️

@MissGremlin random question, do you like to drink tea ?

it seems that I can now only rely on ginger/lemon tea (and perhaps peppermint tea sometimes?) as my daily go-to instead of having matcha

i cant have matcha ever again

you’re welcome ❤️ 🫂

@Blackcloud i occasionally have iced tea and i drink hot green tea.

@tyme is 4am a normal wakeup time, or just a off morning?

Yep i’ going to pick up the ingredients and make bolognese @MissGremlin ..
