Or laugh at other people....Britney Spears?? :lol:

Hee Hee!

I'm still got a bit of Bowel Growl, but i slept better last night (wifey too). I'll be close to "normal" tomorrow (normal is not an adjective normally associated with this loon). I don't ever hope to be normal..."regular" is all i can hope for :P

You said "bowel growl" :D

Here's to feeling regular by tomorrow!

Richard, I think you've got it...Annie found Susie's mojo! What else could a "funny" lump be but the lost mojo? Of course...she was playing around with it, and swallowed it. Hey, maybe Bev's mojo is there, too...didn't we hear there are two lumps?

Speaking of interesting things in dogs, the most startling thing I have ever seen in Gus's poop was when he was still fairly young and everything was being inspected and gnawed....a sewing needle. Incredible. Dogs...they certainly seem to have more interesting poop than we do (wait, I'm talking about a bunch of celiacs, here...things, I hear, can get rather interesting with us) :lol: ..

My brother's dog started eating an old chair which of course passed on through. He declared the dog defective since his stuffing was coming out.

Nice Av work, Richard and gorjuss kitty, Patti. I need to take a decent picture of my JosieDog so you can all be envious of my barking, deck chewing, jump on the company dog.

Talking of wee (*snigger*) - - Will the kitty done a wee on my bed <_<

He bats my face with his paws to wake me up in the morning ...and I thought his paws were wet!!! <_<

Anyhoo, I got up and got in my sons bed and left hubby to discover it (hee-hee) :lol:

BTW Kitty Will was seen by the vet (don't want to 'spook' the pets) today & he thinks he has a sprain on his leg - no breaks :)

Thus began Will's discovery of what the 'carry box' is for !!!

Hope Annie is ok ;)

Dontcha just miss the old coot sometimes - my god how NON PC was he? :lol:

Susie good to see you posting, how are you holding up? What is the latest?

Hi Julie :)

I am just moping around here. Haven't heard anything and I pick Annie up at 5. Tika - she has taken to her bed in the back bedroom as the DEVIL DOG from next door is staying with us. She is terrified of him. :huh: Spike is an extremely annoying, ill-mannered little terrier - - highly exuberant and still puppy-ish and that doesn't sit well with my old, autistic cranky dog. So she just stays back there all the time. it's SO crazy. Quite funny but I never laugh at her....out loud. ;)

Incredible. Dogs...they certainly seem to have more interesting poop than we do (wait, I'm talking about a bunch of celiacs, here...things, I hear, can get rather interesting with us)

oh my Lord. :huh:

Annie has had some GOLDEN poops - when she's eaten half a bag of hershey's kisses or nuggets...lots of golden foil. And Crayon poops are quite colorful as well. :huh:

My brother's dog started eating an old chair which of course passed on through. He declared the dog defective since his stuffing was coming out.

oh good LORD! If ONLY I had something that had been run over by a celebrity.....IF ONLY!!!!! Shall I just LIE and SAY it was run over?

Do you know what I found in a box of old stuff the other day.....a very old tennis tournament program autographed by Efrem Zimbalist jr. Think that would fetch anything? :huh::lol:

Now i must come up with a pic of my sweet lassies....

oh FINALLY Richard has a normal photo! Such beauties, your lassies!!!

Am goign to have to post Super Annie as my avatar, thank you for sending it along. ;)

The house is very quiet today, without the Weasel following me from room to room......:unsure:

Isn't she in California? That would be 8 o'clock for us east coasters.

Speaking of devil dogs, I am really starting to think my dog has some kind of loose wiring. :( She has had major problems with aggression, and I thought I had gotten it trained out of her, but now this past week it's resurfacing. I don't understand, I raised this dog from 3 weeks, bottle fed her and everything :( :( I am so depressed. And sick. Ugh.

Sorry to be a downer.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
