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 dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
