Fiber Mini gone?

Postby Cyka UchuuJin » Sat Mar 21, 2015 6:06 pm

I have noticed a suspicious absence of Fiber Mini from the conbenis. What's up with this?? That shit's my daily go-to in order to, well, take a shit!

(I'm so ladylike today...)

Hehe that was a good thread.

Slaria wash out water from the chemist is good, as well as the natural senna pills they have if you're really backed up. But a quick Fiber Mini once a day keeps things pretty well moving.

Just to add...

I have noticed them in most small and large drugstores around town. Shouldn't be all that hard to find.

Speaking of things gone missing, what happened to all those amino acid supplement drinks that were popular a while back?

I've been having break outs off an on since a trip to New Orleans last year. I think 5 days of Bourbon Street finally pushed my body past the point of no return. For the record I'm talking about acne not herpes or genital warts which are probably also common after a trip to the Big Easy.

For the record, mine is also acne and not cold sores or the like!

I think mine is partially because I've started taking collagen supplements and not drinking as much water as I used to. I seem to remember the last time I took those supplements the same thing happened. I have mostly cut out all alcohol, so it's not that.

5 days of Bourbon street though...I'm impressed!

LOL, count me in for the breakout party as well. Maybe it has something to do with allergies? That pretty much sums up 90% of the diagnoses I've got for any symptoms here.

i have had a full allergy workup last year, i'm allergic to pollen, cats, dogs, horses, and almost everything in denmark, but no link to acne.

i think i need to get some of the peeling masks, despite clear blue skies, tokyo is quite dirty and i think i'm getting cloggy pores.

I'm looking forward to doing that tomorrow...I think it's the sugi pollen but whatever I'm allergic to can only be held at bay with a mickey of claratin, allegra, and zyrtec. Even then my eyes and nose are still irritated.

I've had acne too. After 3 dermathologists that were beyond useless. (The "drink more green tea" kind)
The one from the municipal hospital finally did a proper examination. Which took all of a minute... Scrtch a bit of skin, look under microscope. Like any giod vet would have done first. And realise that one naturally occuring bacteria on human's skin surface was taking over by lack on some element keeping the population down. After using antibiotics smelling like satan's after shave (more sulfur than in diesel exhausts) my skin was good to go.

If you wash too much, you'll destroy the acid mantle of the skin that normally handles bacterial & fungal growth. Perhaps you should revert to more traditional French habits to combat the zits. :mrgreen:

Glycerine soap soap also might help... Hard water and dry winter fuck you up real good.

Or yea... Stop washing... But don't be surprised if stray dog and french start dry humping you in the streets...

Not so nice, Choko! You're worse off than me. :(

I also think my spots are related to not drinking enough water. Back in DK i was on 2-3 litres a day and even through super dry winter I had clear skin. I have gotten lazy about it here. Expensive habit though. Water isn't that cheap and the tap water is awful.

I get 5 litres/100円 from the distilled water machine at the local supermarket. What does it run in the Big Mikan?

Ohhhh i have not checked! My local supermarket is Hanamasa, and I haven't seen any dispenser, but perhaps I should look closer.

AEON often has them. I think it's 4 litres/100 yen there, but if you have a points card you can get one free fill per visit (when you spend over 1000 yen or something).

Right, I live in the Puerto Rico of Japan, so things are a little different.

If one is over 50 it is not called acne anymore but skin cancer...

Seems the Family Mart chain, which is about 45% of the island market, still carries it (Fibe Mini). Will try to have a look the next time I go into a Lawson, which has something like a 35% share. Coco's is the local chain rounding out the market, and I will have a look there too, one of these days.
