Not a stupid question at all! There is 850# of Epsom salt in the water. It's more buoyant than the Dead Sea. I think the only way you could swallow the water is if you roll onto your stomach which would be impossible unless you did it on purpose to see what it felt like (yes, I did this :rolleyes: -no water in the mouth though, thank goodness!!). You totally float on top of the water. I felt my sides to figure out how deep I sank--It was pretty much 1/2 in, 1/2 out. My whole face was outside of the water-around my hairline and jaw depending if my arms were down by my sides (chin naturally lifts up) or bent like goal posts up by my head (chin natually moves towards chest--more comfortable on the neck). THey say your spine can lengthen 1 inch in your first session (like I needed that :lol: )

It just sounds like such an amazing experience. Wouldn't it be cool if they found out it's a cure for Celiac (or other diseases)? Then we could all take a field trip (although most of us don't live too close to each other but it would be a good excuse). You're 6 feet tall, huh? I'm 4 ft 11 inches. Use to be 5 feet. I'm the shrinking woman (Loey Tomlin?). Guess it's the osteoporosis.

Do you plan on doing it again? You amaze me!!!!

Actually, "cilantro recall". Not safe to eat anything you don't grow or kill yourself. B)

And what bugs are safe to eat? I remember going with Tony on a class trip to a museum that had edible bugs. He told me he would eat one if I would - of course I ate mine and he crapped out on me!

In the dim recesses of my long-term memory, I vaguely recall reading bits of autobiographical scribblings from a 16th or 17th century king while at university...... . . ....Henry the Second? William The Conqueror?. . .. .......canna recall... . .. . ..anyways, he mused at one point on the taste of various bugs that he would nab off the dank castle walls and chew on. All I specifically remember is his proclamation that larger spiders taste much better than smaller ones, and that earwigs are intolerably bitter.. . ..

:huh:

The general rule for eating bugs is, insects not spiders. If the insect is furry or colorful, don't eat it. This is just a basic rule. If it's ugly and brown, with 6 legs and 3 body parts - yum! (barf face).

That's the rule if your kid is determined to eat a bug. Grubs, worms, some spiders and caterpillars are edible.

Thanks for getting me a link I could open.

I wish he had a support forum as awesome as this one. How lonely and frightened the boy boy must feel (not to mention dealing with people staring at you and going through this at his age)!

There but for the grace of God go I....

Saw BE briefly last night (we're both tired). Since his contract is ending they've got him doing some rush rush job and he's working long hours. He works at a major software company in Redmond, and this morning he put on new jeans and told me he had to dress a little nicer 'cause he never knew when a different department might call him in for an interview. :blink::unsure:

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
