Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just realized that you guys didn't know what I looked like!



Yeah...I have a feeding tube...but who cares, right?

I've never seen a feeding tube before. That's pretty cool. Gotta love Science!

yupperz! you're not smiling though! biggrin

Is that a real feeding tube?
if so, why do you need it? like what does it do exactly?

Umm...no it's fake. I shove garden hoses up my nose for kicks.

No, it's real. I have a very complicated disease called Eosinophilic disorder...
I have a limited diet where I can only eat certain fruits and vegetables that have been passed by my doctors as safe. I can eat...
Grapes
Plums
Sweet potatoes
Peaches
Carrots
Kiwi
Broccoli
Bananas
Lettuce
Strawberries

That's it. Umm...my feeding tube gives my a formula called Elecare 18 hours a day, and...um...anyway, it's been a tough 7 months.

I also have Type I Diabetes, so I use an insulin pump on top of my feeding pump... feel free to PM me with any questions you might have about Diabetes or Eosinophilic disorder.

Hehehehe yeah it's strange, but surprisingly, I can only feel it sometimes, usually I forget about it. That is until someone starts to stare at me and I'm like "Wats yo problem?!" and they don't answer, and continue to stare. Then I realize that I have a tube stuck up my nose and that is probably what they're looking at^^

Well...it's true isn't it?
