Terrible Robot posted:My guts are made of titanium and hatred, I can't remember the last time I had more than minor indigestion. Likewise for my immune system, when I do get sick it's for maybe a day or two at most, if it even gets that bad. I was the same way. I had the flu once when i was like, 12, really bad food poisoning at 21. Then about 2 months before my 27th birthday i started feeling feeling flu like, went in, they did blood tests, assumed it was the flu and sent me home. It didn't get better, went back, they still figured flu. After about a month i had lost 50 pounds so they figured it was serious, did all kinds of tests, an emergency colonoscopy, and put me on the starter meds to which i was alergic and ended up spending my 27th birthday in the hospital being fed through a chest catheter. But it was nothing for a really long time, then in a day i became the most unhealthy person on the planet. The worst part of Ulcerative colitis and chron's is how little is understood about it, both by doctors and people. There is no cure, the drugs to control it are a crapshoot. People say really dumb poo poo to you about it like "i have a friend with chrons and they're fine, why are you having so much trouble", or suggesting the diet of the day they read on some blog that claims to cure everything under the sun.

Everyone tells me I don't like beer because I "haven't found the right one", but it all tastes like malt and alcohol to me. I can't tell the difference between a cheap light beer and a fruity craft beer. mariooncrack posted:generally don't like the feeling of being intoxicated I'm already hosed up, I don't need chemical enhancement.

It's just beef and heavy fiber that makes me water cannon through my butthole. Heading to hf tomorrow and getting that 44" tool cabinet. Can't wait to get rid of this lovely craftsman tool box. gently caress that thing.

The only alcohol that I like are ciders, fireball mixed with cider, and gin and tonics and a few other mixed drinks. Beer is gross and I will never like it

All I have to worry about is lactose intolerance, which is pretty bad in my case. About the most milk I can consume at any given time is about what you'd put in your coffee/tea and that's it; also ice cream is off-limits too sadly (but yogurt and cheese is A-OK). I basically don't drink either (though anyone who followed me on Snapchat during Oktoberfest might think otherwise  ) - work/work scheduling basically means I don't have time to drink, and it feels really loving weird having a beer at 7 am.Also today is Canadian Thanksgiving and I have a serious case of the turkey nods right now.

Like eating carbs put a hole in my intestines or something. some texas redneck posted:Out of the icu. Now I'm on a heart floor wearing an ekg machine, with blood sugar tests every hour. Glad to hear you're alive and doing better. Hospitals suck, but not as much as dying. Car-wise: I made my first RockAuto purchase on Saturday. Got a new tail light assembly coming because somebody was kind enough to take it out in the parking lot while I was getting groceries. Dealer wanted $350 to install the $120 part, which (surprisingly) doesn't hit my insurance deductible, so home job it is. I was tempted to buy a ton of parts for the Volvo when looking through their catalog, but I can't be spending money like that for a couple months.

My best friend has lactose intolerance and we are pretty certain also Crohn's, though the doctors haven't been able to give him a definitive diagnosis yet. It sucks, definitely wouldn't wish it on anyone.

If any of you stomach & bowel goons want, I will send you a bottle of my custom sauce: 50 habanero/10 arbol chili/5 chipotle/5 red jalapeno. Couple of tomatoes too, I guess. Guaranteed to melt out your lovely old stomach and force you to regrow a new one! I affectionately named it Butt-Death, and it is known to clear up even the most entrenched of sinus colds.

Never been a drinker. Never have had a drink ever. I am the resident AI Mormon guy, so there is that. I've never had any crazy health things. Just an inguinal hernia fixed with outpatient surgery. Recovery was pretty crap.

I love to collect hot sauces, the hotter the better. Count me in for some goon-sauce  I used to be able to put alcohol away at a ridiculous rate, and would do so happily several times a week. Now, I don't even know how long it has been since I drank enough to even get a buzz, although I still have a decent tolerance so that doesn't help. I stick to weed, it doesn't give me hangovers and I can still get things done on it.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, which sucks cos it's one of the new superfoods everyone includes in everything, and it's also a major flavouring agent in a lot of Japanese cooking. Fortunately it's not the "stop breathing" allergy, but it liquifies my entire digestive tract and ejects it downwards. Means I've never done magic shrooms either cos I can think of nothing worse than tripping balls whilst making GBS threads like a duck. In other news: just another day at the office.

Boozechat: You all need to go out right now and get a bottle of Jim Beam Maple and resist the urge to pour it over waffles. This poo poo tastes like maple syrup and is amazing. Some friends had this at a party I was at, and even the most "eww, I only drink wine or fruity mixed drinks" girls liked it.

If that happened at a Christmas party I was attending I would probably think that was funny and laugh. Because poop jokes always work, no matter the delivery. GBS would be the annoying child doing nothing funny and just annoying the poo poo out of everyone.

I would take some of your butt-death. I've got chronic heartburn, but it's equalized with a prilosec every other day or so. Other than that I haven't had any real health problems since I was in college 5-6 years ago. I could probably kick the heartburn if I quit eating chorizo all the time and loving beer so much.

Recovery was pretty crap.  hernia buddy. They hosed up my operation so I ended up in a wheel chair for a month...I did lots of wheelies.More gut chat: My gut is about the best it's ever been and likely will ever be right now. Mild lactose intolerance that's only triggered by milk (I just toss 10 lactase tablets in the gallon jug) and essentially the symptoms of short bowel syndrome. If I avoid stuff that's super processed I do ok. Drinking chat: I usually don't drink much. While in Germany I drink a lot of beer because I was in Germany, wasn't on call all the time and mass transit is amazing. I'll have a beer after work a few times a week and a rum/whiskey/whatever with a cigar but that's about it. If I go out to eat (rare) I'll get a beer with dinner. More than a couple beers and I'd be better off sleeping on the toilet. I'm pretty boring. Travel Chat: Flying sucks but I lucked out and the family with young kids next to me for the 8.5 hour flight were really good. Sadly someone sitting within a row or two of me on the plane had horrible, eye watering gas. 19.5 hours of travel yesterday. Get to the airport and find a flat tire on my car so I limped it to a gas station filled it with fix a flat and drove home. drat it's nice to be home but holy poo poo have my brother and his wife managed to collect a ton of poo poo in the few months they weren't living here. Boxes piled everywhere full of just random poo poo. Fridge and freezer are full which would be awesome except it's all prepackaged/microwave stuff that destroys my gut. Can already tell I'm going to need to lay ground rules and ensure they stick to them, place is a loving disaster right now. Oh well time to go get some real food and see if I can make space in the fridge. Working from home today. Think I'm going tire shopping some time this week.

Speaking of alcoholism, my daughter has been sick and has to take a liquid medicine twice a day. She hates it. To make her feel better, I take some medicine alongside her: a shot of Jager. She smelled it, agreed it was also gross, and now won't take her medicine without me taking a shot of Jager. In a way, then, my kids are forcing me to drink.
