- tapland 7y agoThis guy was under (some) medical supervision with some supplements and with regular testing. Your situation sucks, but this man is not doing what is happening to your wife and you shouldn't be offended by a story about the worlds most extreme outlier case of dieting.
- loeg 7y agoNot to mention, OP's wife is completely not the norm. There's a growing majority of overweight, obese and morbidly obese people in the developed world who do not have any medical problem with absorbing food through their GI and for whom losing some fat stores would be a health boon. It is unclear why OP associates this man's anecdote with his wife — the man of the article was not reported to lose GI function because of his fast. He was just morbidly obese, and stopped eating until he was at a relatively healthy weight.
- moltar 7y agoI fasted for 3 days and it wasn’t that horrible. Once you are passed a day mark it gets easier. I was doing all my normal activities and working.
- macspoofing 7y agoI believe you. I also believe OP and the horrendous experience his wife is going through. I don't think your and his wife's experiences are analogous.
- anaisbetts 7y agoI'm so sorry for your wife. Please focus on the time you have with her.
- crazygringo 7y agoMy god, I'm so sorry. I know you say she's tried every treatment (un)known. I'm just curious, since you shared this with us... why hasn't feeding through an IV worked? [1] It obviously hasn't, I just didn't know there were situations where that wasn't an option of last resort. Again, so sorry.

- geocrasher 7y agoThat failed, sadly.
- nwienert 7y agoYou did genetic testing? That’s what found my similar case.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoMy friend I am so sorry to hear of your spouse's medical condition.
