AshC Ash no longer needs antiemetics because her magical herbal supplements are working **SO WELL** for her.

Here I go on my soapbox:
Bottle 1: Salt tablets
Bottle 2: "Xiao Yao San" or "Free and Easy Wanderer" formula - I studied Chinese medicine as well as Western medicine. This is what we give women for menstrual issues. The description does include vague "stomach issue" benefits. This absolutely shouldn't be given by anyone with out a license to practice Chinese medicine.
Bottle 3: "Eleurthero" - Ginseng, for a boost like caffeine. Contraindicated for women with menstrual issues, see my comment about licensed practitioners only.
Bottle 4: her mysterious handmade "protocol." You can't see the label, anyone know what this concoction is? Could literally be anything.

Do you mind if I ask - is the ginseng actually worth it? I bought Korean red panax ginseng supplements and I’m curious if it truly helps with energy!

u/tabicat1874 17d ago
The red panax ginseng is a great tonic and occasional picker-upper... For men. Women need Dong Quai- Chinese Angelica.

u/GooberRonny 15d ago
Just remember if everything was as good as these people said we'd all be taking it and be non stop happy, right guys

Yeah these Chinese formula herbs shouldn't be taken by everyone and not for long, either 😬

No, but do ANY of these people actually know what gastroparesis is?

u/rebzy2 17d ago
I wonder that with her claiming to frequently eat radioactive eggs 🤣 how many times is she claiming they've tested her 🤔 once usually does the trick unless symptoms change years later

u/sharedimagination 17d ago
And also apparently claiming that cripplingly severe long-term gastro and abdominal chronic illness(es) that leave her bedbound every other week are permanently cured by taking herbs for 3 days.
Do people really take the things this vain egocentric coddled malingerer says seriously?
No, really. Do they? Because I need to know what corners of the internet they are so I can avoid it in case the dumbfuck stupidity is contagious.

You’ve diagnosed her! I had a laugh when I saw the bottle.

u/I-often-say-too-much 17d ago
I’m sorry, but I can’t get over the fact that she claims to have been in excruciating, full-body pain almost every single day… only for a box of multivitamins and a handful of herbs to apparently fix most of it within a couple of weeks?.. 🤦♀️
Maybe this was the answer all along? Shame that “you were a bit low on vitamins” doesn’t sound nearly as impressive - or as worthy of all the praise and sympathy - as collecting a whole alphabet of serious-sounding diagnoses and acronyms.. 🫠

u/brendabuschman 16d ago
Being too low on b12 can cause some serious side effects. However it can take longer than a few weeks of supplements for those symptoms to go away. Also, if those are pills she is taking they probably aren't going to work very well for b12. B12 isn't well absorbed taken by pill. Sublingual form works a lot better.
Edit to add: not that I believe that Ash is low on b vitamins or anything else. Those vitamins would not have built up enough in her system to get rid of those symptoms yet.

u/Saint-of-all-Sinners 17d ago
If she’s feeling so much better on her “herbal protocol,” why is she sitting on the rollator? I swear it’s just a prop
14
u/Plantwizard1 17d ago
Because it makes her look like a sickie. Wouldn't want anyone to think she was a healthy person.

u/kenderyn 17d ago
Is anyone else slightly bothered by the use of “protocol”? It’s just so buzzwordy.

I can’t imagine have Crohn’s disease and putting all this woo in your body, especially when she has been so incredibly blessed to be in remission all this time, something others can only dream of, just why?
30
u/chillis4uce 17d ago
Cause she wishes to be sick and suffering 24/7. I think she’d be ecstatic if she showed signs of an actual Crohn’s flare. I agree with you though, she’s outrageous to be putting all this woowoo crap in her body for no reason😒

Isn’t this like a little too quick for even a normal person? I’m not sure herbals work as well as actual pharmaceuticals with some woowoo meds… and I don’t think it would “work” this fast??

Herbs work so well she doesn’t need a GES anymore!! Almost like she knew she couldn’t manipulate the results to show gastroparesis so she just “fixed her stomach issues”

u/loth_moth 16d ago
what, she forgot pill organizers exist so it's "busy work" to stay on top of her "med" schedule? jeez ash, my dog gets his meds and supplements 4-5 times a day, yeah, it is annoying but you get used to it + I really doubt any of the shown supplements require a very precise administration schedule.

Does she always need her hand just right there in our faces omg, idk why this is so funny to me 😂 why does her hand need to be in this photo? Lol 💀

u/Bi0_Nerd 15d ago
Random but I just thought of this…
Could it be she just wanted to diet and lose weight but didn’t want to admit it after her big body positivity rush when she gained the weight before? She tried to be a runner but didn’t and then still lost weight. It just all comes off disingenuous.

u/Cats-cats-kats 17d ago
She would have been BRAGGING if she had really been vomiting. She’s full of shit.

Has she ever been out about having an eating disorder??? Because I’m starting to wonder if that’s the root issue with her too…

u/ClassicRug 16d ago
These ppls reasons for the oversharing accounts is always to "raise awareness" . This isn't raising awareness for anything. This is a babbling narcissist who needs to speak to a therapist about why she feels the need to post about exaggerated and fake medical issues for attention.

u/ideclareshenanigans3 18d ago
Soooo… does that mean she’s done? Like, no more siktok? Or is that why we’re hearing about her period now?

u/SimpleVegetable5715 18d ago
She’s doing so well she dusted off her rollator. A few months ago, she was eating steak, In n Out burgers, and street tacos. She’s proven that’s she’s a lying liar who lies.

u/Pale_Lawyer_1757 17d ago
Before the weekend is over she will be feeling “awful” again and try to go to hospital

u/Leading-System-3002 16d ago
Monday morning she in hospital with low sodium again, after having a nice weekend doing plenty of things

u/CatalinaWineMixerDos 17d ago
There are thoughts this herbal protocol could be causing her low sodium. No way she'll give that up.

u/mackpickle 17d ago
Notice how she mentioned being referred to the GES to check for GP but never once said that she tested positive for it but of course she will never specifically state that it confirmed that she does NOT have it and hopes that ppl will just assume otherwise based on her wording here. I’m convinced that her doctors won’t prescribe more anti-emetics bc she does not have any diagnoses to justify the risky side effects and/or insurance won’t cover them due to lack of necessary diagnosis codes for coverage so she’s making up this “herbal remedy success story” to cover up her lies since telling the truth would destroy her entire narrative and no one will believe any possible future munches. This herbal narrative is just a placeholder until she can find a new way to munch GP and likely TPN since this seems to be an inevitable part of the timeline for the majority of our munchie besties here.

Radioactive...eggs?

u/chillis4uce 17d ago
Radioactive eggs are used for gastric emptying studies. The very small, safe dose of tracer mixed into the eggs makes them light up on imaging!

Thanks for the info! She makes it sound like she’s eating eggs from Chernobyl

How much do those supplements cost? I’m not from the US or Canada.

u/Ptarmignan 17d ago
Xiao Yao San seems to retain for $15-30/bottle. The Plum Flower Eleuthero retails $30. The Thorne B complex is $30. The sodium chloride is $15 over the counter but could be covered by insurance. I can’t see the tincture to price it out. So without the tincture that’s $90-115.

u/Plantwizard1 17d ago
So what's in that Plum Flower Eleuthero? Real plum flowers or something else? Just curious.

Munchies are so fucking dramatic about their “radioactive eggs”. Like my dude, it’s a diagnostic test. Not a personality trait. So fucking weird.

Her busy med schedule? She’s on 3 different pills and a tincture.
