Gaaaaahhhhhhh....all this talk of happy childhood junk food memories.... :(:( I've got none, really....T'was diagnosed with type one at seven. There went all the Dairy Queen weekend treats, McDonald's milkshakes, Wendy's frosties....

When I'm hypoglycemic, I'll have a half a caramilk bar at times......YUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM......

So! She's HERE!!!!!!

Elsie is a gorgeous standard poodle. A little smaller than Gus, and pute white. She DESPARATELY needs to be clipped, so I've got her going in on Monday. I'll put up her av then. Gus quite fancies her. They walk together on their leashes splendidly - - this is important, as DH and I will run with them both together.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

And big hugs all around. My daughter immediately got on the phone and called all ten of her friends. Hilarious...... :rolleyes::lol:

So far, so great....It's almost too good to be true. I'm waiting for some calamity. Too easy, I tell you...

Off to Petsmart for a new ID tag, and treats!

Hopefully none of the "fluid onslaught" I've been warned about :unsure: ...new dog in a new environment and all.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

:unsure: Yeah, I was thinkin' this, too. However, Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!! Welcome home BellyDog!!! Hope all goes smoothly, Emily!!!

It's so great here.... :) You guys are terrific, excited about my little life's twists, let alone caring at all! I honestly was as excited to tell you guys about Elsie (perhaps even more... :ph34r: )as I was to tell my kids!

. . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

You bet, it could REALLY be worth it, as you can perhaps have Patti's plumber in to install it..... ;)

It's bizarre....I just don't know...

Perhaps it's been because I haven't been nekkid....... :rolleyes:<_<

Emily, great news about Elsie. Somehow I just knew Will would come around to seeing this your way. Occasionally I am an optimist. Which reminds me...

To an optimist, the glass is half-full.

To a pessimist, the glass is half-empty.

To an engineer, the glass is the wrong size.

The biggest excitement in my life today was repainting the lines in the parking lot at the store.

Now for some really big excitement, if I remember right, today was Alex and Ryan's wedding. She's about two hours away from me, and had pretty much the same great weather we did. I hope it was perfect for them. :)

She should follow Tom's lead and have a sidekick with her so that she can check in off and on all day long!!! I hope the yeti is behaving himself. You know how he gets when he doesn't catch the garter.

Just in case you are checking in . . . Congratulations Alex!!

The bank have phoned me today to tell me that hubby\\\'s card has been \\\'cloned\\\' (very sci-fi) and that a person in India has very kindly taken it upon themselves to spend ALL our cash (and then some)

Either that or Terry has a secret double life in Mumbai :unsure: (he does look very tanned :blink: )

HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can people like that sleep at night?!

Umm, Nikki, my dear friend, when you say you had your three children "the old fashioned way," do you mean, no epidural?! OWIE! I could not handle that. I wanted my epidural. Actually, I tended to want it when I was about 8 months along. :rolleyes:

Yeah, those were my fav. And let's not forget about Moon Pies :P

(We're going to have Nikki googling like crazy :blink::lol::lol:)

Moonpies!!! Ohhhhh, how I loved Moonpies. All that sticky, gooey, deliciousness! I'd estimate that at least two inches on my hips are due to a Moonpie phase I went through a couple years ago. sigh.

The kids were SO surprised. They didn't believe that she was actually OUR dog, that she was staying when we first brought her into the yard. When it became clear, Jack's eyes welled up, and in a little voice, he said, "I can't believe this. I'm SO happy, mommy"....

Omg Emily... that's so sweet!!! I actually teared up a little! I'm such a sap. :lol:

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
