Snus use and colon issues

[EricHill78]

As a few of you know from my "In the ER" thread I've been dealing with a colitis type issue where my colon is enflamed. I haven't been snusing as much as usual just wondering that when I do if I'm making the problem worse? I don't know if the tobacco juices are not too great to digest while having an issue like mine, like Mexican food for an example. If it is I can just snuff 100 percent of the time till I'm better but I'll miss my snus. I haven't noticed any nausea or anything caused by the juice I just don't want it to slow down my healing.

I think there might be some old threads on IBS and snus...IDK really, maybe don't eat beef and spicy foods for a while? Not sure if IBS is realated, but if so ask Roo all about it...

Eric, in 10 years I've never had any gastrointestinal issues with snus (tobacco) juice, now I'm not saying that some individual couldn't have a problem with it but you should really ask your Doctor... Speculation and conjecture won't help you...

I'm not a Doctor but I play one on television...

Edit: Mr. Snuffleupagus is probably correct I quit eating all the Mexican food on a regular bases a few weeks after I moved here from South Carolina. Some of the spices they use here I just can't digest. Changing your diet eating more vegetables & fruits lay off the salt and fats would be a good place to start.

If you skip the beef - the problem will go away and you can use snus again!

Eric don't listen to him hes a plant cereal killer.







dumb, but a tad funny.........and true

I appreciate it guys. I know for sure the snus didn't cause it. The dr said it was foodborn or from my enviroment. I'm just makin sure it isn't making it worse. These damn antibiotics need to start doin their job. I feel like an invalid.

GoVegan I'm interested in trying some vegan meals one day for the experience. Maybe when I visit California. I work for a company where I get a huge discount all over the country. Are you far from the Sonoma/Napa area?

Eric it's called a salad and you can get them at any restaurant and also found in some peoples homes.

It probably wouldn't be for a while till the wife and I could make it. I'll definetely let you know. We just started working for a resort called the Renaissance lodge at Sonoma where I'd stay for free most likely. Google it when you have a chance. It looks incredible. I'm trying to become familiar with all the properties to help my sales and that's the newest edition.

[EricHill78]

Lmao Nomad I was talkin about those burgers and all that that they do.

[N0mad]

Hey guys Eric is going to get us all a free room at the resort... Eric does this include the mini bar and room service?

[EricHill78]

Lmao I'd be fired..

Eric, your doctor is most likely right -- there was probably bacterial contamination in some food you ate. If you have a family history of lower GI illness, or if you have repeated bouts, then you might worry about something else going on in your intestines. But it's highly unlikely that any little bits of tobacco juice you swallowed got that far -- they wouldn't survive the stomach's acid bath.

Vegan food can be very good, if the chef is talented. But I could never live on a vegan/vegetarian diet full time.
