Can You Take A Dulcolax With Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease?
I was suffering from constipation this morning, as the low barometric pressure was drawing the water out of my body.
So I wondered if I could safely take one of my usual Dulcolax tablets.
I asked Google AI, the question in the title of this post and received this reply.
You should not take Dulcolax with uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease, especially during a flare-up, without first consulting a healthcare provider. Stimulant laxatives like Dulcolax can be risky and may cause issues, such as gastrointestinal problems or increased risk of perforation. Instead, a healthcare provider will likely recommend consulting them for advice on which constipation treatments, if any, are appropriate, such as bulk-forming laxatives if your diet is insufficient.
I didn’t take any Dulcolax tablets.
But I’ve just hydrated myself with a bottle of Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% Beer and it did the trick!
Can Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease Make My Left Foot Go Red?
In My Unusual Feet, which I wrote in February 2022, I showed this typical picture of my feet.
Note how the left foot is redder than the right.
This prompted me to ask Google AI, the question in the title of this post and I received this answer.
No, uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease itself is not likely to cause a red left foot, though it’s possible for pain to radiate to the legs. A red foot would be a symptom of a different issue, and could be related to complications from the diverticular disease, such as sepsis (a severe infection), or another unrelated condition like poor circulation or an infection. It’s important to see a doctor to determine the cause of the red foot and rule out a more serious problem, especially if you have symptoms like fever or severe pain.
As sepsis is mentioned, if it happens again, I’ll see a health professional.
Does Injecting Disinfectant Cure Covid?
I wrote this post to test one of Trump’s most famous pieces of advice.
I asked the question of Google AI and received this answer.
No, injecting disinfectant does not cure COVID-19 and is extremely dangerous, potentially lethal. The idea is a harmful myth that was widely debunked by medical and scientific experts during the pandemic.
The language is fairly clear too.
Does Dropping Barometric Pressure Make Your Nose Run?
I’m asking this question as my nose is running and the pressure is dropping for tomorrow’s rain.
Google AI told me this.
Yes, a drop in barometric pressure can make your nose run, as it can cause sensitive nerve endings in your nasal passages to react, leading to swelling of the blood vessels. This can result in congestion, a runny nose, and post-nasal drip.
How it happens: When the atmospheric pressure changes, the pressure in your sinuses no longer matches the pressure outside your body. This difference can trigger a reaction in the nasal passages.
Nasal response: The nasal tissues may swell and sinus drainage ducts can become blocked in an attempt to equalize the pressure. This irritation can lead to symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose.
Other factors: This reaction is often more pronounced when barometric pressure changes are sudden or combined with other weather changes, such as rapid shifts in temperature or humidity.
My left eye is also painful.
I also should note, that a very experiences eye surgeon once told me, that I had the driest eyes he’d ever seen.
45 schools Benefit From Rail Safety Resources Supported By Lumo And Hull Trains
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on The Shields Gazette.
This is the sub-heading.
The UK’s leading open access rail operators, Lumo and Hull Trains, are celebrating supporting the delivery of vital rail safety resources to 45 schools across the UK over the past year.
These three paragraphs add more detail.
In association with the Rail Safe Friendly Programme, the operators’ involvement has led to a social value impact of over £724,000, directly educating thousands of young people.
The programme is dedicated to spreading the vital message of rail safety among young people, educators and parents in schools across the UK. Lumo and Hull Trains have supported the important initiative for the past two years, with their support renewed for a third.
As part of the partnership, Lumo took over the Metrocentre’s ‘mini express train’ to highlight the issue of rail safety to families and children visiting the shopping centre during the school holidays in 2024. The project secured industry recognition at the recent Corporate Engagement Awards.
It’s not just in the UK, that this type of excellent engagement is being setup.
This train is the world’s first hydrogen-powered train to enter passenger service, between Hamburg and Cuxhaven in Germany.
When I rode the train, a German schoolboy told me, that their school had given them safety lessons about hydrogen.
Does Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease Affect Races Differently?
I asked Google AI the question in the title of this post and received this answer.
Yes, there are some differences in how uncomplicated diverticular disease affects different racial groups, particularly regarding the location of diverticula and the prevalence of the disease, though the picture is complex and influenced by environmental factors like diet. While Western populations tend to have left-sided diverticula, Asian populations show a higher prevalence of right-sided diverticula. Black populations also show a tendency for proximal (right-sided) diverticula, though their overall disease prevalence can differ from White populations.
The source used by Google AI is this paper on the National Library of Medicine, which is entitled Sex And Race Disparities In Diverticulosis Prevalence.

E-Bike Injuries Are A Massive Burden, Say Surgeons
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
We’re in the morning meeting on the orthopaedics trauma ward on the 10th floor at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
These three introductory paragraphs add more detail.
Like every morning, the team are here to talk through the cases that will face them in the day ahead, and a familiar theme pops up.
From one side of the room a surgeon talks about his patient: “A 32-year-old, fit and well student… a couple of days ago he fell off an e-bike sustaining a closed left tibial plateau fracture.”
And a few moments later a voice next to us describes another case: “Six-year-old girl, she was hit by an electric bike, she has a closed tib/fib fracture.”
There is a lot more like this in the article.
The introduction of e-Bikes into London has been like the Wild West, with no suitable regulation and a powerless and afraid to act Police force.
Cycling and e-bikes in particular are going to be a big issue in the next London elections in May 2026.
Vape Ban Isn’t Working, Says Waste Firm Boss
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
The ban on disposable vapes is failing to stop millions being thrown away incorrectly, and the devices are still causing chaos for the waste industry, a boss at a leading firm has said.
These three introductory paragraphs add more detail.
“We’re seeing more vapes in our system, causing more problems, more fires than ever before,” said Roger Wright, the strategy and packaging manager at Biffa.
Vape firms have launched cheap reusable devices, so instead of refilling and recycling them, people were binning them and buying more, he said.
A spokesperson for the vape industry said the June ban had been a success, and any rise in devices being thrown away was likely due to black market trade.
It looks to me, that the government didn’t get the legislation right.
Are Disposable Vapes Available On The Internet?
To find the BBC story, I typed “Disposable Vapes” into Google.
I found headlines like these.
- Cheap Disposable Vapes | From 50p | Free Delivery
- Disposable Vapes – Multi-Buys & Free Next Day Delivery
- Legal Big Puff Disposable Vapes on Sale in the UK
Why aren’t these adverts being taken down?
