Post an embarrassing or disgusting fact about you.
« on: October 01, 2006, 05:56:36 AM »
I think this is more appropriate than the post an offensive fact about you, because these facts can be embarassing or disgusting to you as well as everyone else, it is usually hard to be really, truely offended by a fact about yourself.  Also, I don't think there are a lot of things that a lot of us here really do find offensive.
Racists, sexists, republicans, NT's(2 of those were jokes, guess which).

So I'll start off with a disgusting fact.

I have a digestive system made out of iron - in that it doesnt move.  You know how a gentle laxative is a joke because that is like a civil war?  Well if i take an extra strength laxative it only makes my digestive system move just below average.

But all the alcohol i drank last night helped, and just finished a semi-satisfying movement.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

To me it is significant.  I don't suffer any pain as a consequence of it, but there is a little voice in the back of my head that says that it is kind of unhealthy to not go often.

ask me about it nomaken.

i have had two occassions in my life where i have not been able to make a bowel movement, due to blockages (calcified) small intestines.
the last time was 1 1/2 years ago.

when it gets to the point that it is the most unbearble pain that you can even imagine, then you have a real problem.  it can kill you.
Misunderstood.

My digestive system is such that if i eat the wrong things it will cause... a whole lot of pain.  Infact that is kind of a running trait in my family.  I recall it being a whole lot more unbearable as a small child, but i am pretty sure the amount of pain didn't change, i have just gotten used to it.  But I eat things now(usually) which don't give me digestive pain(chicken, noodles, and a whole lot of vegatables).

there's a connexion between bowel problems and ASD, i've heard - it's to do with dopamine.  and you can't treat it with L-dopa, cos of the blood-brain barrier thing.  :'(

You mean that I could have some kind of weakness or lack of control over my bowels because of a dopamine problem?

There are some drawbacks to this autism thing I had not previously considered.

That's interesting to know- I've been wondering for years if I have IBS, I have a very sensitive stomach and certain foods play havoc with my digestion (cramping, bloating, constipation,diarrhea,etc).

Hmm i dont know if i have any embarassing or disgusting facts, some weird or odd/akward things maybe but not really anything embarassing or disgusting i can recall im afraid, but i suppose it would depend on your definition of disgusting. ;D

Stoppage of the bowels due to blockage is indeed nasty McJ, i know a few people that have had that, my mums sis supposedly nearly died due to ittoo when she was younger, her stomach swole so much she looked pregnant and they actually had to empty her manually. Sounded ever so pleasant. ::)

Interesting. My son's got constant bowel problems. I wasn't aware of the connection but it would explain things.

My daughter has had bowel problems most of her life.  She takes a prescription laxative every day now and it helps.
