Twofer

So over the course of the last couple months, I've been trying to track down the source of some annoying GI issues. (Spoiler for TMI: Mild discomfort, constipation, and, worst of the bunch, indescribably heinous farts.) And I've come to an unfortunate conclusion, which is that I might have to cut onions most of the way out of my diet. WTF! Onions are practically their own food group!

Anyway, does anyone else have any experience with this? It's not an allergy, per se; it's more like my gut flora just lost their ability to handle the things or something. Why would that randomly happen at age 28?

In conclusion, goddammit.

Also, I've finally busted my two pairs of iPod earbuds! One now plays at 1/3 volume in the right ear, and the other is torn-up lookin' and rattles a bit when any low notes blow by. Now I need to figure out what to replace them with. Preferably something a bit better than iPod earbuds.

So yeah. I listen to music on my bicycle, so I need something compatible with a helmet, and I'll also be using them to run, so they need to be light and able to stay in pace when jounced. Schwern has these things, I think, and I'm not sure how I feel about them; I keep thinking I can find something I'll like better.

Any suggestions? I'm not allergic to buds, and I'm not averse to trying weirder stuff as well.
