I think you should do a poll here . . . Gab/Chat Room, of course.

Lisa!! Hope yer snot comin' down wif strep!! . . . lots of strep 'round here parts tho!! My neighbor's been home wif it. She works at the school and caught it there. I saw the school nurse yesterday. She lives in my neighborhood and I saw her pulling into her drive on my way to the grocery store so I stopped to say Hai. She was probably going through withdrawal cuz she sees me at the school a couple times a week. Anywho . . . she was on a rant about people sending their kids to school sick . . . also ranted about the person who did a food tasting at lunchtime on Wednesday. She gave specific instructions about the brand of corn chip to buy to serve the quacamole with so that Skeeter could have it. She's very protective of her allergy/intolerance/etc kids and making sure they get to try everything and are safe. :wub: Anywho . . . the person didn't buy the right chips . . . but Skeeter was out sick anyway.

Maybe we can think up an aid to barfing standing up?

Maybe a mouth to bowl tube? I'll get working on the specifics.

Cooper ( the dog) has strep. Apparently, with all the playing in the snough, he scraped under his chin. It then got infected. He has cream for it! But, fortunately, no barphage.

Excellent ideas. Can we make them self cleaning? Maybe a hose hook-up to rinse them out?

Infection migrating from the outside to the inside? :blink:

Or perhaps strep is on the outside......I guess it would be pretty tricky getting the cream down his throat :lol:

Like the little rinsy thing in the spit bowl at the dentist . . . although my dentist now has this suction phunnel that you spit into. Let's add some suction!!!

Strep is short for streptococcus which is a type of bacteria . . . <said in my I know how to google authoritative voice>

Oh my poor dear psillies. I go offline for three days and half or you are barfing and now there's a mutiny. I'm still hurting from the procedures but it seems like nothing compared by what all of you are going through. As for the standing while barfing - I'm a kneeler. But I hate barfing almost more than anything in the world (including childbirth without medication). Sending healing thoughts and cyber chicken soup for those of you who can handle it. I thought doing a cleanse on my birthday was the worst thing ever but I think all of you have suffered much more!!!!

I've Missed you all. PLEASE feel better soon!!!! wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Love & Hugs,

Loey

Hope it ain't strep, Leeeesargh!

I would rather work on an attachment to the toilet that raises the bowl, quickly, to, say, chest level. DH's nose won't clog, Shrooomie's knees would be saved..... . . . ..one could raise it up for easier cleaning. Though ill users would have to be certain to lower the bowl after barphing - - not such a good thing for anyone racing in with sudden bowel issues. Helluva thing, managing to climb up to a chest-high bowl.. . . . . ...

Hmmm. . . . . . ...may need some refining.. .. . . .. :rolleyes:

I remember, when a child, my neighbor barfing in the kitchen sink ( morning sickness for the whole pregnancy).

I like the adjustable toliet. Many uses. Low for a potty training 2 year old. The perfect height for a 5 footer or a 6 footer.

I was a kid, but still remember my aunt barphing in my grandma's kitchen sink--all the while running the garbage disposal. Gross! She was a nurse and still thought this was a brilliant idea. :blink:

Hows about a tubular force field between the mouth and the loo opening - no oversplash could penetrate it. All loos must be fitted with a button to operate such field.

I'm thinking something like the chairs that hair stylists use.

OK . . . obviously too much vomit talk.

I was perusing some of the other threads and instead of reading "Am I Barking up the Wrong Tree" . . . I read . . . you know where this is going . . . "Am I Barphing up the Wrong Tree" . . . and thought . . .they're probably standing when they barph up a tree . . . followed by . . . I hope they can put an arch on that barph or it's coming right back at them.

Didn't know there was a correct barphing tree :lol: Tell me which one to avoid :unsure: T'is certainly not a procedure I would recommend as having a high degree of accuracy, especially when you consider that the males with the penii can often not even meet the target accurately

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
