Sillies I have a favor to ask and since this is the Silly Thread I guess I am allowed....

I listen to this awesome radio station out of Rochester NY which we found while on our Honeymoon...I stream it over the net at work but it is an actual FM station. My favorite DJ is in a popularity contest with other DJ's in the Rochester area for the next few weeks. He won last week's round and today started a new round. Could you all throw some votes his way for me? It won't let you vote on the same computer more than once a Day. Anyway he has been on the radio for 15-20 years and up there he is very well respected.

The website is called RochesterInsider. You would click on the Radio March Madness link and then hit the vote here button. It will show you 4 match-ups. He is on the bottom of the first column. His name is The Mayor Pete Kennedy and he is matched up against a girl. He is currently losing.

Thanks Everyone!

Ps---- He is a cutie in my eyes too!

if anyone is offended by this I will delete my post too....

They told her she needs to bleach her entire house top to bottom. She is going to try to grab a 2nd opinion now so hopefully she gets somewhere. They always say a mothers instinct and she says she herself feels like something else

is going on

:huh: Bleach???......yeah , the fumes will be really good for a little baby...NOT :angry:

IMO a good doc always listens if Mum thinks there is something wrong

Had a great time--my dad was truly surprised. He is a very quiet gentleman, and true to form, after we all yelled "Surprise" upon his arrival--he calmly turned to me and said--"everyone's here." :rolleyes::lol:

Twas a bit dicey the first hour or so of the drive up--felt some creeping panic but was able to breathe out of it eventually. Amanda--I did look for you--we probably just missed each other. I'm so sorry about poor little Landon.

It was so nice to see everyone--can't remember the last time I laughed so much! When we got into town, we drove by the church we were married in--it was 33 years to the day and almost (by the time we got there) to the hour! Pretty cool....it looked exactly the same :)

33 years Patti???...........NAH - you don't look old enough in your new av (positively GLAM!!)

Glad you had a good time - (and your Dad :) )

EMILY - :lol: Also glad YOUR Mum had a good birthday and loved her bib (how could she not?? :lol: )

Oh heeeellllp me!!!.........what have I done???? :unsure: ..........I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder.

Watching me 'try' to turn my head is no end of amusement - dunno if I over done it with the 2 gym classes OR it's from crashing out on the couch !!!! :lol:

Where's Jess?? - I neeeed the number of her masseuse :o

That's an alleged solution to a temp of 103?????

Patti!! Great av!!! (You look not a day over 38 you spring chicken you!!) <bawk!>

And a smile :) at the great time you had.

Seeing the church of nuptiality sounds really nice. :)

Update

What is wrong with the world?

Indeed.....bleach.....no possible ear infection......

Come on. :angry:

I'm back!!!!!

Had a great time--my dad was truly surprised. He is a very quiet gentleman, and true to form, after we all yelled "Surprise" upon his arrival--he calmly turned to me and said--"everyone's here." :rolleyes::lol:

What a GREAT pic, Patti! You look terrific, as does your dad.

Didn't get a shot of me with Mom.....so much going on, I just didn't ever get my hands on the camera.

Sillies I have a favor to ask and since this is the Silly Thread I guess I am allowed....

Done. I'm voting for him on looks alone..... :rolleyes:

33 years Patti???...........NAH - you don't look old enough in your new av (positively GLAM!!)

Totally in agreement. You look young, girl!

Oh heeeellllp me!!!.........what have I done???? :unsure: ..........I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder.

Heat for ten minutes, then ice for ten minutes...do it for an hour if you can, then take a break and do another hour, say, before you go to bed.

Em puts the Fun in Functional, bib-wise. :)

Ah! Phunny you should choose this word, Ptaum....said bib was anything but functional. :lol: So hilarious....I ended up using thinned acrylic paints, as it was too big an area to be using very expensive fabric paints. Well, the terry of the bib just kept sucking it in, so I was plying the paint on with reckless abandon, as I wanted it to be quite vivid. Well, it is vivid....but I probably used three entire cans of paint. It is rather....stiff. More amusing, it weighs probably fifteen pounds, so my mom put it on and just about collapsed on the couch. :lol: So, she will be wearing it when she is eating while reclining, and there won't be that huge drag on her neck. :lol:

It would probably work well as a dental bib, worn to keep radiation from leaking through to one's body during Xrays. I would bet it's bullet-proof.

Perhaps a whole new market.......

Can Do.

Jen (Landen's mom) has applied for a nursing position in my office which will be better for her. My office is very understanding on families and sick time. It would be better for her right now.

This is SO funny....I can just see your poor little mom trying to stand in her bib and saying "yes dear, I love it, really :unsure: ", all the while trying not to topple backward :o

Ha! Actually, it went something like this (I'm paraphrasing): Mom snaps the bib around her neck, tries to stand without pitching forward, and shouts, "Un-f*cking-believable!! My neck's gonna snap!" :lol:

She did, however, love the picture itself, and will take it downstairs to their dining room and put it on when she's about to sit down. :rolleyes:

Patti, I bet you look remarkably like your dad...I can see a resemblance in your two faraway picture faces, so it must be very evident in real life!

The poor little thing. Such a shame he had to suffer so long with it :(

Hopefully the meds kick in quickly and he's better soon.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have read fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, Kombucha are great for gut health besides probiotics. However I have searched and read about ones that were tested (Kefir, Kombucha) and there is no clear one that is very helpful. Has anyone take Kefir, Kombucha and noticed a difference in gut health? I read one is lactose free but when tested...

      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...

      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?

      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...

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      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?
