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:

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:

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. . . .. . ...

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
