*****sigh*****home From Hospital--temporarily

i've just gotten home tonight from 5 days in the hospital with tianna. kevin is staying with her right now, i will go back up on tuesday. i don't think she will be coming home for quite awhile. the doc said he is keeping her there until we have a "plan". her potassium was low, so she is on supplements and a heart monitor. her heart rate is pretty low because her body has gone into a conservation mode---it has been dropping even lower when she sleeps. the nurse came in and woke her up one night because of it being so low. she is pretty restricted. the bathroom door is locked, the water in the sink is turned off, and the garbage can has been removed from the room. she has to use a portable potty chair, and someone has to be in with her when she showers. she is not supposed to be walking around, so i have to take her in a wheelchair to get the outside sunshine that the doc wants her to get. she was originally being allowed to order her own meals, but she wasn't eating enough, so yesterday the doc had the dietician step in and now tianna's meals are just brought in to her. friday and sat she only ate 700 cals and 795 cals. the doc says he does not want to put a tube in her nose, but if she doesn't eat enough, he will. last night she ate a good dinner, pretended to have a stomach ache, and then threw up with me sitting right there-----even sitting with her i couldn't stop her. as soon as arrangements are made, she will be going to an eating disorder clinic. she just wants to die---i think she thought she could starve herself to death. the doc thinks that she has probably had the tendency for the eating disorder for awhile, but being diagnosed with celiac was just the last straw.

I have suffered on & off with an eating disorder for years. It is a tough battle and will continue to be one for the rest of my life. I am glad that she is in a place where she can receive the help that she needs.

I'm so sorry to hear this. You and your family are in my thoughts. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for you. The greatest gift we can give our kids is love; your daughter is very lucky to have you.

Chrissy,

My heart goes out to you and I will keep you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine the feeling of helplessness watching your child go through this. At least she is exactly where she should be to get the best treatment. Are they giving her any kind of psyciatric treatment, specializing in eating disorders? I hope so......

Chrissy-

Oh wow... I am so sorry. I am sure your heart must be breaking right now. Eating disorders are such a hard, and usually, lifelong battle. I am going to pray for healing, for a recovery, that her desires to harm herself would disappear. I had an eating disorder many years ago...and by the grace of God just snapped of it, I lost the desire. Rare story...but true. I hope she lets her guard down, listens to her family and counselors and loses the fear she is tangled up in... Prayers for you too...

Chrissy,

Lots of hugs to you! I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's condition. A church member of ours had a daughter that we helped to send off to a rehab center for eating disorders down in Arizona. It was costly, but it seems to be working. I pray that your daughter will recover soon.

I am so sorry for your pain, and her's. We will keep you in our prayers. She has two things going for her: she's in a place where she is safe, and people will take care of her AND she has a fantastic mom who is on her side. Eating disorders and depression are so serious, and so long-term, but even the longest journey has to start somewhere, and sometime. Keep us up to date and let us know how she and you are doing. (You can create a website for her at caringbridge.com and save yourself the trauma of having to re-tell things over and over)

It's okay to worry. And it's okay to take a break and watch TV or sleep or read a book, too. Take care

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
