Question:

Help? Stomach aches?

Lately I've been having really bad stomach aches, horrible gas, and diarrheaI had some weird quot;colitisquot; earlier this year, which was cramps so bad I couldn't move followed by non-stop vomit (gross, I know), but the doctor said it should go away and not come backHowever, recently I've been having some of the similar symptoms and more, my stomach feels like it is going to explode, like I'm really bloatedDoes anyone have any ideas about what this could be? Maybe a food allergy?? Help!

Answer:

It is possible that you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)It's not fun, I know, because I have it tooBut as the first person who answered said, because of the vomiting, it is possible that you have a bowel obstructionShe is rightYou should go to your closest emergency room if you can't pass a bowel movement and start vomiting againPeople with IBS have to be really disciplined with their diet and exerciseI usually find cooked vegetables easier to handleIf I eat too much salad I am likely to have an IBS attackAlso, with IBS it is important to cut down on fat and sugar consumptionSpicy foods can also be difficult to digestAs much as I love East Indian food, I would recommend staying away from it and similar foodsPeople with IBS need to eat enough fiber, but some fibers are soluble, while others are insolubleCooking your veggies turns the fiber into soluble fiber, which is easier to digestAlso, make sure to drink plenty of WATERI can't emphasize enough how important drinking water isAs difficult as it is, you may have to cut coffee and other forms of caffeine out of your dietI know that this all may seem rather extreme, and you may find that once you get on track with your diet, you can allow yourself to have some treats in moderationYou might want to keep some anti-gas Rolaids on handGood luck.
I assume that the sheet is squareThe only stable shape you can think of is a trough with square bottom and folded sides.Height to be carefully selected to have stability and maximise on loadGood luck
A tetrahedron is the form I would choose for it's strength and simplicityReinforce the edges that will be above the water by multi-folding the aluminumFloat it apex down and fill it up with penniesIt won't look too much like a boat but who cares about looksAnother idea just came to mind! Fold the first square sheet one time North to South and fold it once again East-WestNow carefully put your finger into either one of the two outer pockets that have been formed by the folding and open the pocket into a coneIf you examine the cone you will see that there is three layers of aluminum on one half-arc and a single thickness on the otherBuild a second cone just like the first and insert the second cone into the firstObserve the rotational position of the two cones so that you end up with 4 layers of aluminum on all the sidesFold over the remainder of the aluminum at the top edges and you have one hell of a strong cone that will float point downIf you have been through chemistry or have a friend who is there, ask them to show you how to fold a filter paper to fit a filter funnelIt's easy, quick and simple
