Not a stupid question at all! There is 850# of Epsom salt in the water. It's more buoyant than the Dead Sea. I think the only way you could swallow the water is if you roll onto your stomach which would be impossible unless you did it on purpose to see what it felt like (yes, I did this :rolleyes: -no water in the mouth though, thank goodness!!). You totally float on top of the water. I felt my sides to figure out how deep I sank--It was pretty much 1/2 in, 1/2 out. My whole face was outside of the water-around my hairline and jaw depending if my arms were down by my sides (chin naturally lifts up) or bent like goal posts up by my head (chin natually moves towards chest--more comfortable on the neck). THey say your spine can lengthen 1 inch in your first session (like I needed that :lol: )

It just sounds like such an amazing experience. Wouldn't it be cool if they found out it's a cure for Celiac (or other diseases)? Then we could all take a field trip (although most of us don't live too close to each other but it would be a good excuse). You're 6 feet tall, huh? I'm 4 ft 11 inches. Use to be 5 feet. I'm the shrinking woman (Loey Tomlin?). Guess it's the osteoporosis.

Do you plan on doing it again? You amaze me!!!!

Actually, "cilantro recall". Not safe to eat anything you don't grow or kill yourself. B)

And what bugs are safe to eat? I remember going with Tony on a class trip to a museum that had edible bugs. He told me he would eat one if I would - of course I ate mine and he crapped out on me!

In the dim recesses of my long-term memory, I vaguely recall reading bits of autobiographical scribblings from a 16th or 17th century king while at university...... . . ....Henry the Second? William The Conqueror?. . .. .......canna recall... . .. . ..anyways, he mused at one point on the taste of various bugs that he would nab off the dank castle walls and chew on. All I specifically remember is his proclamation that larger spiders taste much better than smaller ones, and that earwigs are intolerably bitter.. . ..

:huh:

The general rule for eating bugs is, insects not spiders. If the insect is furry or colorful, don't eat it. This is just a basic rule. If it's ugly and brown, with 6 legs and 3 body parts - yum! (barf face).

That's the rule if your kid is determined to eat a bug. Grubs, worms, some spiders and caterpillars are edible.

Thanks for getting me a link I could open.

I wish he had a support forum as awesome as this one. How lonely and frightened the boy boy must feel (not to mention dealing with people staring at you and going through this at his age)!

There but for the grace of God go I....

Saw BE briefly last night (we're both tired). Since his contract is ending they've got him doing some rush rush job and he's working long hours. He works at a major software company in Redmond, and this morning he put on new jeans and told me he had to dress a little nicer 'cause he never knew when a different department might call him in for an interview. :blink::unsure:

      High Folate Levels

      By Tyoung · Posted

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of my levels are now normal, but folate level is >24ng/mL. Has anyone else had similar results? If so were you able to figure out why or how to normalize them? I also have been having constant acid reflux since about two weeks into going gluten free (no acid reflux history prior to) that we are trying to get to the bottom of with no answers. Could that be related? Thank you!! Also wanted to not that I am not eating any gluten free processed food.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Did you take a look at my pics that I uploaded?    These rashes is not itchy, but I have seen that people have this too that have celiac and it’s not itchy for them either. I have also heard that sulfur burps are a common things with celiac too.  Yes it can be something else too but it’s to much symptoms that I have that match with either gluten sensitivity or celiac.   Hopefully it’s just gluten intolerance and not celiac.  As I said before I have the gen type for celiac and diabetes typ 1 and the those diseases going hand in hand.    Thanks again Trent for your time to reply, and I wonder if any body else have kind of the same symptoms that I have?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?
