Dr. Allen Hershkowitz Is Not Our Friend

Post by tex »

Hi All,

There are times when being "green" kind of sucks, and one of those times is when someone with an IBD has to use "green" toilet paper. When you already have "baboon butt", and bleeding hemorrhoids, from umpteen diarrhea episodes each day, the last thing you need, is to have to wipe your sore butt with a reasonable facsimile of parchment.

That article makes me very happy that I'm not a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so I'll never have to set foot in the Kodak Theater. :lol:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

You know, I seriously doubt people with IBDs were considered, and I wouldn't expect to be, really. This is one of those recommendations (like eating more fiber!) that's only for the mainstream. I've used some recycled toilet paper, and it's been fine. I agree with Angy, though, about the paper in any public restroom, recycled or not!
