I am going to see her and the other baby elephant tomorrow!  Maybe I can get a picture.  I am going to squee with excitement the whole time I am there.

Oh please, give her a hug from me!! The precious baby elephant I used to know always wrapped her trunk around my waist while I leaned my forehead into hers. That was the way we hugged.

 

I just KNOW that there will be elephants in Heaven because it wouldn't BE heaven without them.

My day was complete when we arrived at the zoo at 3pm after a late start to the day, and we saw a sign that said "Brief appearance by the baby elephants at these times... last at 3:30"  So we waited with the crowd, they brought one out but they never said who it was, haha.  Being two months old it/he/she looked about the same as the pictures but was a little more plump :)  It made my day, though, with its hairy little rounded head.  I wish I could have hugged it!

 

By the way, Fort Worth Zoo is awesome overall, if any of you ever travel to the area it is worth a stop, unless it is 100 degrees outside in middle of summer.  Even then, if you can take the heat, most of the Zoo walkways and stuff have great shade.  :)

Just like it wouldn't be heaven without giraffes! It may get crowded. :lol:

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
