The devil shivers when the menstrual cycle and GI-problem-autism share goals: misery
#spaghetti speaks#GI tract#GI problems#actually autistic#autism#not enough people talk about the GI problems autism can cause some folks#it’s not everyone with it#but it’s a decent chunk#feckin’ sucks#this is also meant to parody one of those “the devil shivers when the nice guy loses his temper” type shite

Me and the girls with debilitating, diagnosable GI diseases that were told they just had anxiety for decades, breaking into the nearest clinic with flails, baseball bats, and spears: Hi can we please schedule a meeting with your medical staff to discuss that while anxiety can often be associated with stomach issues, it should be regarded as a symptom of the illness instead of the illness itself, which is often treatable?

I know this isn't the best picture, and doesn't look super appetizing, but I wanted to share the fact that I'm trying out new protein-rich foods, per my doctor's instructions.
The lead-up to this was pretty sucky, though. I had to go to the hospital since I'd been puking for ten days, unable to keep anything down. I ended up losing ten pounds in that span of time, and I was super dehydrated. When I went to a local doctor (who had previously told me that this was just a stomach bug), she told me to go to the ER, so my mom drove me down to the nearest hospital with a GI clinic. They took a CT scan (my third this month), saw a bunch of inflammation, and admitted me. Then, I had a colonoscopy, where they diagnosed me with Crohn's. I got discharged the next afternoon, so now I'm back home.
Unfortunately, we're still not sure WHY I had the flare-up, and with Crohn's, it could be any number of things. It's all going to be trial-and-error, and I do not look forward to it.
Anywho, that's why I've got the sardine-and-egg sandwich. Gotta have upwards of 90 grams of protein per day, so if anyone has recipe ideas or suggestions, or would help me out by sharing their own Crohn's experience, I'd appreciate it quite a lot!! Thanks for reading!!

We considered four questions:
Does this patient have small fiber neuropathy affecting her GI tract?
Does this patient have disrupted gut integrity?
Does small fiber neuropathy lead to GI immune dysfunction?
Could immune dysfunction lead to the disruption of intestinal barrier integrity and susceptibility to GI infection?
Based on current literature and our patient's history, our central hypothesis is that the small fiber neuropathy contributed to gut immune dysfunction and impaired barrier integrity, leading to increased susceptibility to GI-mediated bacterial infections. Evidence continues to build, suggesting that small fiber neuropathy can affect GI motility, GI barrier integrity, and immune function. We face challenges in directly quantifying neuropeptide levels within the mucosa and correlating these levels to ILC3 function due to the depth required to perform biopsies for these measurements. A more feasible approach is to target downstream effects of neuronal dysfunction by focusing on ILC3s since they are located more superficially within the GI wall. We hypothesize that as a consequence of small fiber nerve dysfunction, neuropeptide production and/or release is diminished, leading to impaired ILC3 production and function. Additionally, this nerve dysfunction could disrupt intestinal wall integrity by downregulating tight junction proteins.

‘Gut on a Chip’: New Tech a Big Step Forward for Gut Health
March 9, 2023 – From TikTok to kombucha tea, gut health is having a moment – after we’ve already been hearing about it for years. Rightly so. Your gut – and its diverse mix of bacteria known as the microbiome – is no longer just about digestion. Gut “health” is also linked to the health of your heart, brain, immune system, and more. The problem: Much about what’s going in in there and what…

Just vomited 50 fluid ounces, which I didn't know the human stomach could contain. That's like a liter and a half. Much less pressure in my abdomen at least
