Health - 28 September 2007

Hi, I am 17 1/2, male, can I still grow any more? I am 5'11'' and when I was 16 I was 5'8.5" but I don't look much different, as for facial hair I have none still and still look same as I was 16.

my dad is 5'7'' and my mom is 5'4''. by how much maximum can I get taller?

I hope to at least reach maybe 6'1''.

are there any ways to get and idea if your done or you are still growing besides getting a bone scan? I asked my doctor about it and he didn't want to do it because it's only for people who are like 4'10''.

thanks for the answers.

anyone know if IBS affects milk supply?>
Question Details: I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. So badly that I've lost a TUN of weight. Before I got pregnant I dropped down to 107. I had sch a hard time gaining weight durring my pregnacy that the doctors threatened to put me on steriods. Well, glad to say the birth went well and my son is healthy. but as much as it pains me, we had to put him on formula because I can't produce enough milk (probably because I have such a hard time getting food down). I'm on lactation vitamins and drink a lot of water. I'm back to 120 pounds, so I'm not realy underweight anymore. But I was wondering if anyone else w/ IBS had the same issue and if so what to do about it?

is one of the most aggressive and devasting forms of cancer. My question is, what causes this? Over eating? Over drinking of alcohol? I know Pav was very heavy, loved to eat and drink wine, etc. Or is do we just chalk it up as, natural causes why it happened? Are there ways to prevent your body from getting Pancreatic Cancer?

Mother and daughter are fighting over pads or tampons. Mother says if a girl is still a virgin she would not be able to use a tampon. I am not really for sure whose side I am suppose to take. Please answer seriously. I need to know to try to stop the fighting between the 2 of them. If you are a virgin do you ever use a tampon over a pad?

I've heard that it does go away from people that have had it, then I've heard people say they've had it for years. Which one is it? Is it both?
Can I please just request answers from people that have this syndrome, or have dealt with it before? Thanks.
