He can come live with me any time!! Isn't that what all sensible (as opposed to having been taught the "correct" way) do it?? :lol: That way you can see where the end is and don't have to go fumbling underneath or reach too far down (depending on positioning). *I* consider the underfeed to be the *wrong* way, so there!!! :lol:

:lol: So phunny this business wif the TP. My husband likes the "underfeed" while I grew up with the "over the top". I've come to like the underfeed and have adopted it's use. :P

Underfed ALL THE WAY!!! Over the top causes a lack of control, makes me nervous -- can go suddenly spinning like crazy, toilet paper unravelling everywhere.

AND.. . . . .underfed is much more aesthetically pleasing. For my body, as well. <_<

I converted to over the top because my kittehs could never resist the lure of a piece of paper hanging down, and tp would be unravelled all over the house :lol: :lol: Talk about out of control!!! Then it seemed so much more convenient I never converted back.

But if it's over the top, a few paw swipes has the entire roll unrolled, and shredded, in a heap on the floor.

Yup.... . . . with big and small curious critters in the house, over-the-top can get really over the top... . ... :rolleyes:

O'er the top TP rolls are maddening to tear off - - it remains awkward and often impossible to get a clean, easy rip-off.

Much easier when the line of rippage is against the wall.

I tear sideways in a sharp motion (right to left), the same way I tear paper towel from the over-the-top roll in the store's privy.

Mygawd, I've had to really go and think about this one.. .... . ..like, overnight. :huh::lol:

It depends, pour moi, on which side of my body the toilet paper hangs. It is generally a much easier production when the roll is on my left, and I can use my dominant left hand.

Either way, I'm rippin' sharply, as well (which makes the under-fed position a must - - things can suddenly rotate crazily, often out of control, if o'er-the-top), but from left to right if the roll's on the left, and from the right if it is on the right.

I am sure that almost all public restrooms have the rolls situated on the right, to accommodate the population's right-handed majority. The exception would be in the Middle Eastern countries, where such unclean, sinister practices like using toilet paper are relegated to the left hand.

Never been to the Middle East, but I'm thinkin' as a southpaw it would be much easier to wipe me bum over there. . .. ...... . :lol:

would rather watch telly in me jim-jamz than paint the town red <_<

My little Lylie-bear is back!!

He had to go back to have a few random tooth chips taken out that were still causing him pain. I think he is pain free for the first time in about a year! He's been sitting on my lap and that hasn't happened for a very long time.

I suppose I'll know he's really back when he takes out that little upstart, Lefty.

So good to have the boys fighting. :)

Good to hear, Jess!!! Me MIL had a pug a while back that had an eye problem . . . can't remember eggszactly what it was . . . but she was putting ointment in it three times a day. Lots of infections. She kept at it to "save the eye" and thought she was doing the right thing. It finally got bad enough that they had to remove the eye. MIL said her pug was a new dog . . . back to her puppy days. She was concentrating so much effort into keeping the eyesight that she didn't realize how much pain her pooch was in. We called her a pirate dog after that.

*I* consider the underfeed to be the *wrong* way, so there!!! :lol:

Since we appear to be taking a poll . . . I'm wif shroom!!! :lol:

Tel is in Nikki's jim-jams . . . :lol: . . . new av please!!!

This country is well-known for the.....um..... .......let me politely say generous.... research grants given out to various institutions. I think I will use this premise to get me a federal study grant that will involve flight, accommodation and daily expenses in Dubai, Kuwait or... . . where is the spot with the incredible white beaches.. .. ...ah, JORDAN... ....... . and a final bursary for a peer-reviewed thesis.

Efficacy and Comfort in Buttocks-Wiping, and a Call to the Middle East: Can the Left-Handed Perform at Maximum Capability When Roll is Placed on Their Left?

She was concentrating so much effort into keeping the eyesight that she didn't realize how much pain her pooch was in.

Exactly the same story with me neighboUr, whose cocker spaniel has glaucoma and was getting drops put in for years. This dog was a miserable, snappy little thing until they finally took the eye out. She is now lovely, affectionate and calm. Poor little dog, in pain for so long.

You know what? . ... . .... ... .my neighboUr, actually, is miserable and snappy. I rarely speak with her for this reason. Perhaps she needs to have an eye removed!

I just may go and kindly suggest this. . .. ......

As a fellow lefty, I for one can't wait to see the results of this study :mellow:

My PP (personal preference):

Loaded on the right, underfed, tearing right to left.

Aha, ya see, my point eggsactly--don't even know what dey is missing!!

Me MIL had a pug a while back that had an eye problem . . . she was putting ointment in it three times a day. Lots of infections. She kept at it to "save the eye" and thought she was doing the right thing. It finally got bad enough that they had to remove the eye.

OMG, dat removes a lot of guilt. I did zactly same thing, thought I was the only one. Fortunately she did not seem to have been in pain, but I kept it up for a year or two before they phinally removed her eye they found a foxtail in it :( Poor doggy!!!!

You guys!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

<yer do know 'me telly' is the tv right?>

Well, dere was room for some confoosion dere

As a fellow lefty, I for one can't wait to see the results of this study :mellow:

Ah now I see it, this is a left versus right question, and not an under or over one :lol:

My PP (personal preference):

Loaded on the right, underfed, tearing right to left.

My personal preference is not to have the toilet jammed against the wall so you have to be a contortionist to reach the paper at all. So I have these toooo cuuute little wrought iron stands with two arms which hold two rolls of paper (one for lefties, the other for righties) which can be positioned anywhere ya like :lol: :lol:

Anyone see a relationship here??? Huh???

Lots of TP talk, I feel inadequate, Whichever way I grab the roll, that's the way it goes on. My son unrolls it onto the floor either way, so it doesn't really matter :rolleyes:

Still basking (basque - ing :lol: ) in the warm glow that is Edward ............ yes, I kicked many a teen out of the way fro MY New Moon ticket!!! ........... a I LOVED every minute of it :lol:

My, Oh, My -is alls I can say. Got sloshed with my gigglie girlfriends, saw the movie, fell in lurve all over again and am off to see it wiph me auntie tomorrow. I'll be sober for this one ;)

Nuphin else to report, thank GOD all is quiet here!!!! ;)

OMG... .... . :lol: Last evening The Ripper was asking about the goings-on in Psillyville, so I proceeded to tell him about the TP debate. I then asked him if he could provide me with any case studies and/or peer-reviewed debates with flowcharts on the subject. This morning he provided me with this detailed study, which me must all now peruse.

I think I may be changing my vote now. . . .. . ...

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol
    • deanna1ynne
      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
