Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 NO! It does not occur because the pt eats too much. It is not a fault issue. The body tries to return to normal, even if normal was killing us. An interesting theory I heard at the conference has to do with backpressure in the distal stomach. Being sealed at the top (at ;least to start), and having a pylorus valve at the bottom, there is a certain amount of pressure in there. When the pylorus works right, it lets the digested food/juices out, slams shut so they can't get back in. But in our case, there is not the normal ebb & flow of food. So the gastric juices can back up, creating pressure from the bottom up. That SO fits what we see in real life. I know I didn't out et mine. If someone was going to outeat it with volume, it'd be some of the men I know Not pointing fingers, just that they have a lil more trouble getting a handle on volume. But no, they're still intact, while the careful measurers disrupt. It's mechanical, not mental. Like the relaxed stoma or a fistula. Stuff happens and very often, it is not fair. Because we are who we are, we automatically take it personally. On the other hand, we'd also take a flat tire personally. " If I hadn't been on THIS road. If I had served. If my tires were better. If I was a better human being. " You see the progression...... Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
