What Animal's Gi Tract Would You Like To Have?

What animal's GI tract would you like to have?

I was thinking with all the modern medical marvels in transplant technolgy that I could ask my doctor for a GI tract transplant. I am thinking I would like to go for a sperm whale GI tract transplant. Sperm whales can eat fish and giant squids and other things that they find in ocean. Heck, they can can even eat wooden sailing ships and their grouchy captains sometimes. Shoot, with a sperm whale GI tract and mouth, I could prolly eat a good size elliephant.

What animal's GI tract would you like to have transplanted and why? We are taking orders live now. Call today! :D

I wish I could have the GI tract of my mixed terrier that we had as a kid. He could & often did eat anything! He never got sick or slowed down.

OMG :lol: :lol: I LOVE your answer- a sperm whale! I think I would want the digestive system of a pig (heck-I already use one's thyroid hormones :huh::o ) but uhm, bacon eating would make me a cannibal. I love bacon :unsure:

Maybe a dog but I still love the sperm whale!!!!!

Ahh yes Kareng, a terrier tummie it is for the little miss. Don't be dismayed young lady, with your new terrier tummie you will be able to eat doggie treats, table scraps, and left overs at will. Rowf rowf! :)

And for MtnDog we go for the oinker special! An all-around favorite, the oinker special can consume well nigh anything you can throw or toss it's way. Corn, chips, leftover garbage from the restaraunt trade, no problem here. Shovel it your way and down it will go! By the way, we have plenty of sperm whale GI tracts to go around if you change your mind and want to upgrade later. Sell sell sell, that's our motto.

I think I'd like an alligator's digestive tract. They eat ANYTHING and when they do animal necropsies they find all sorts of amazing stuff in there. I bet gluten wouldn't bother an alligator..... I'm sure a crocodile would do just as well, if there's a price difference!

So Bunnie's going for the alligator tummie eh? That's a good one I reckon. One reptile digestive system to the rescue. Looks like you could get an extra digestive bennie too, gastroliths. Seems alligators often have them.

Gastrolith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Plesiosaur gastroliths from the Tropic Shale.

A gastrolith, also called a stomach stone or gizzard stones, is a rock held inside a gastrointestinal tract. Gastroliths are retained in the muscular gizzard and used to grind food in animals lacking suitable grinding teeth.

I think the crocs are going to be on special soon. They are more plentiful than alligators so ought to be going down in price.

I think I would pick a goat their not picky at all. However, upon observation, I want to be a nannie not a billie. I witnessed the billie goat peeing in his own mouth! :o

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
