Good advice, all! I will pass it on.
Buffistas: We should form our own think tank.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Sorry, was out at a ballgame.
Cutting out gluten can actually have a withdrawal-type effect. It can have totally weird effects.
Teppy, if you're still around can I ask you one more paranoid cipro question. I just took my first cipro, and it says not to take with anything with calcium in it. So, when can I take my calcium supplement, if I can at all? 2 hours later?
The drug info I found said that if it's a calcium supplement (as opposed to, say a glass of milk), take the Cipro 2 hours before or 6 hours after the supplement, because otherwise the calcium will interfere with the absorption of the Cipro.
I will at least back up Cass that it does happen, and I feel it is kind of creepy
Me, as well.
Me, too. I mean, I know Buffista intentions are nothing but love for the "wronged" Buffista, but sometimes it's offputting to call down the wrath of a thousand generations for the person who gave you an Americano instead of a frappe.

I also can back up Cass, but then again it's one of my Issues too. I acknowledge I might be overly flinchy to random rhetorical death threats.
Erin, I had to go on a no starchy carb/no grain/no gluten diet for a month or so. I didn't get light headed, but I did find there was no way to actually eat enough food to make me feel full EVER, and my reserves were so low I couldn't go more than 2 or 3 hours between feedings. For me, it wouldn't work as a lifestyle.

“Not dead yet!”
As someone who has to take iron daily, my doc told me to take it with Vitamin C as it would help with the iron absorption. I've never once had an upset stomach or any other iron-related issues so long as I take the C.

What do you think, Bitches? Am I off the mark?
No, I think that you're right. But, I'd rather that we err on the side of supporting each other.
do you just want validation here or can you hear some advice.
When I would vent at my dad, he would wait for a pause in my bitching and say "Do you want lip or ear?" If I said lip, he'd give me advice, tell me that I was overreacting, etc. If I said "ear", he'd say "I'm so sorry He/She/They are idiots, of course you're right." :)
And, actually, a Buffista wished death on someone just the other day, when I was talking about a friend of mine who used to insist on calling me Stephie.
I appreciated the hyperbolic support, both validating my issue and making me laugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm assuming that if you thought they actually wanted your friend dead, the reaction would have been different. That's what I can't remember-sincere death threats against strangers. Am I that numb?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Barb is one of the lucky ones. For awhile I had to take quite a bit of iron (I probably still need to, but apparently I'd rather faint in public) and I had to take iron, with vitamin C AND orange juice in order for my stomach to even be moderately okay.
Most often I'd have to do some kind of bread afterwards as well.
No DAIRY after iron!

My blood test results always confuse doctors. My iron levels are consistently borderline high. I take a multivitamin every day, but I've got to get the iron-free kind, because too much iron can be a cardiac risk.

Why did my hematologist never mention the vitamin C with the iron thing? I can't drink orange juice because of my acid reflux, but I can take vitamin c. Good to know.

You mean you don't sit around waiting to answer our questions?
The drug info I found said that if it's a calcium supplement (as opposed to, say a glass of milk), take the Cipro 2 hours before or 6 hours after the supplement, because otherwise the calcium will interfere with the absorption of the Cipro.
Thanks! I ended up calling the pharmacist last night (I guess that is what people without a Teppy have to do) and he also said 6 hours.
