It's a burial practice. There was a period in Ancient China where people would chuck all the deceased belongings into a huge grave with them. Different periods/cultures had random (spiritual) reasons for making time capsules of wildly different qualities.

It was common in ancient cultures of the Europe/West Asia/North Africa until monotheistic beliefs changed things.

What could possibly be the incentive for a business to upgrade to this over just using their already installed NFC readers? I can only imagine Amazon is paying them for gathering the data for them.

The anxiety is a secondary symptom of the IBS. I am a naturally very happy person. I have never done the beat myself up internal monologue. The anxiety I get is always very odd and difficult to understand why I suddenly got anxious. My life has always been very easy. I always finish tests first. Writing papers and math were always easy for me. I am always the golden boy at wherever I work. I've been offered free rides to grad school for my work performance. I easily command any conversation I care to.

Anxiety, insomnia, depression. These are things that should be obviously understood as a secondary symptom of something else.

My posture issues go away when my intestines are working properly. I will subconsciously bend to compress my upper colon area (where the rib cage ends). I have no problem with my posture when I'm taking my medication. So for me, bad posture is a secondary symptom of the IBS.

I discovered that I get insanely high blood pressure when I have some episodes, too. The IBS has only gotten more intense/severe as I've gotten older.

Yes, go to a different doctor. Or ask the current one about Viberzi if you have IBS-D. Also look into Yoga and yoga breathing techniques. Yoga is meant to manipulate/calm the vagus nerve, which is a major factor in IBS health.

As unintuitive as it sounds you can try Miralax even for IBS-D. Look up a miralax bowel prep and do the first couple days. It works wonders for me as it actually clears out my colon and I get relief.

2nd opinions are very very important because most doctors are lazy and wildly arrogant. There's not mechanism for correcting these people, it's a broken system in a huge number of ways.

This is exactly how my IBS works. I get wacky anxiety and I know it's a cue to take my viberzi cause my guts are in distress. I can't even feel the discomfort. I just know it's there due to how my inner monologue changes. Goes away within an hour of taking my medication.

Doctors told me for decades my IBS was my own conscious decision. The viberzi taught me that is absolutely not true. Really disgusting the way I was treated.

I didn't have to work, don't have a beat myself up mental attitude. I've had IBS symptoms since I was a baby. Got Viberzi and all the IBS symptoms went away within an hour. For me it has always been anxiety, allergies, sleeplessness, dehydration are caused by IBS. The viberzi made it all go away instantly. I don't have anxiety to work through, my gut biome fixed itself in about a month.
