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?

:lol:

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. . .. ......

:huh:

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:

........ watching spiderman3 in me jim jamz, eating cherry pie wiv ice cream :P

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. . . .. . ...

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana  
    • trents
      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
    • Theresa2407
      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
    • KathyR37
      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
