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.

Coldpax! I'm getting a patent in out names right now! We'll be rich!

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

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

Ummmmmm......a barph phunnel?

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:

Yeah, I was thinkin' phunnel also.

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>

Yeah--on our skin and stuff. Poor Cooper!

Meant to say his strep is on the outside

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,

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:

Well, then! Where HATH POeter scampered off to? Must put out a Royal Summons. . . .. .

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.

mushroom Proficient

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

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
    • Ello
      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
