Because allergies and IBS both can involve inflammation? That would be my guess.
Yeah, I'm thinking something to do with histamine, since allergies are treated with H1 blockers and reflux is treated with H2 blockers, but there's histamine overlap.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Does Zantac help IBS?

Not mine. I'm just spitballing with the histamine thing, actually. I made the leap from "seasonal allergies are a histamine 1 hell" to "histamine 2 is an issue with reflux" to "reflux is a disease of the digestive system, and so is IBS", and that wild leap could be totally wrong. I'm just throwing an idea around, not trying to solve it (though I wish I could).

Interesting.
Good luck with the appointment, Dana. Glad you were able to get one, at least.
I am wanting a Diet Coke, Suzi, how about you fax me yours?

ION, I have to stop checking Twitter to get a sense of how the NY Democratic primary is going to turn out. It's just making me crazy. I gotta stick with Nate Silver.

That's the same leap I was making, anyway.

I suspect going to the vending machine might be less trouble than trying to get a pdf to cooperate with me.

I am waiting for the hour to turn over to go refill my water bottle and maybe buy a coke because I am pretty sure I hit my 250 steps for this hour already so I'm "saving" the ones I have planned until they will count towards a new goal. Probably not how I am supposed to approach this.
