Here is my slant on the deal. Your there to treat. If you are in danger,

retreat. Notify law enforcement. If someone really wants to get at you, you

really will not have enough warning to spray. Otherwise you have enough warning

to retreat. If the issue of being attacked or hurt continues to bother you, you

might want to look for

other work. There is always the possibility that this may occur. You can't dwell

on it. If folks start arming themselves with the spray, what will they want to

carry next? The best defense you can have is always stay alert, pay attention to

your surroundings and read the scene. I have been doing this for over 30 sumpin

years and

it has worked for me.

I agree with you there. I do remember something back in 97 or so about

EMS carrying side arms. Needless to say (but I'm gonna say it anyway) I

got a cold feeling in my gut at the thought of it. I could almost hear

the news story about a medic taking a round from his own gun after a

combative patient got a hold of it. All kidding aside, I think carrying

pepper spray is just one more thing that could bite us in the backside.

If I am in a situation where I'm in danger I leave. If I am prevented

from leaving I try to talk, and if that wont work an O2 cylinder can

work wonders as an offensive device in a pinch. (D's are better for that

IMHO). Bottom line is that situational awareness is the key, along with

listening to that little voice in your head that warns you something bad

might be coming your way. I've only been doing this kind of stuff for a

few years, but I have worked security and was in the military before

that and that same lesson was taught in each case. Since I have been

doing first response stuff, I have never had to cause harm to a patient,

but I have had to restrain a couple (with help thank the Big Boss Man)

for their own safety and hat of other responders. Call me lazy, but I

prefer not to create more work for myself. I leave my guns at home and

the pepper spray on the store shelf.

is there anyone who is unable to eat:

gluten, grains, FODMAP's (which include:

* Oligosaccharides: fructans (in wheat, onions), galactans,

raffinose (in asparagus, beans, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts,

and whole grains);

* Disaccharides: lactose (dairy products);

* Mono-saccharides: fructose (honey, apples)

* Polyols: sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, isomalt, maltitol,

arabitol, erythritol, glycol, glycerol, lactitol, ribitol (they are

used as artificial sweeteners, stabilizers etc).

curious, if you are out there, how you manage.

Spencer,

Have you read Breaking the Vicious Cycle?

Gluten and grains are forbidden on SCD.

So are disaccharides and polyols, which include all the sugar

alcohols.

Fructose is only permitted in honey and fruit, not as a separate

sweetener. Many people find, particularly at the beginning of the

diet, that they must limit fruit and honey.

Lactose is not permitted on SCD, and only 24 hour, properly prepared

yogurt, which has no lactose, and other dairy products, such as dry curd

cottage cheese and aged cheeses (also largely lactose free) are

permitted.

Beans, cabbage, broccoli, and brussels sprouts can all be problematic and

are somewhat advanced vegetables.

Wheat and other whole grains are all SCD illegal.

In point of fact, I do very well without most of what you

listed.

yes yes i have read it, of coursei can barely tolerate the yogurt, same with honeyi think the fact that i thought i could have SOMEthing sweet (via the honey) allowed me to stick with the diet as long as i did at firstnow that appears to be off the table but it seems like i am working my way back to SCD but with zero sugarargghhthanks for your response i think i just hadn't put 2 and 2 togetherspencerAt 08:55 PM 10/26/2008, you wrote:is there anyone who is unable to eat:gluten, grains, FODMAP's (which include:* Oligosaccharides: fructans (in wheat, onions), galactans, raffinose (in asparagus, beans, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and whole grains);* Disaccharides: lactose (dairy products);* Mono-saccharides: fructose (honey, apples)* Polyols: sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, isomalt, maltitol, arabitol, erythritol, glycol, glycerol, lactitol, ribitol (they are used as artificial sweeteners, stabilizers etc).curious, if you are out there, how you manage.all bestspencerSpencer,Have you read Breaking the Vicious Cycle?Gluten and grains are forbidden on SCD.So are disaccharides and polyols, which include all the sugar alcohols.Fructose is only permitted in honey and fruit, not as a separate sweetener.

Spencer,

Try dripping or draining the yogurt into yogurt cheese -- often the

galactose, which is part of the water of hydrolysis (what many people

incorrectly call the " whey " ) can be difficult for the liver to

process. I certainly did better with dripped yogurt, but then, I came to

SCD so jaundiced from a bout with gall bladder disease that they thought

I had liver cancer.

Very ripe bananas are quite sweet.

Zero SUGAR is the key to SCD. Among others.

I don't know anyone who had it done arthroscopically, but my friend

had shoulder surgery. She had some pain the first few days and seemed

to recover fairly fast. Whatever you decide to do, good luck.
