Can't remember where I read this, but,

Canada had a contest to create a new phrase similar to the American phrase "As American as Apple Pie". The winner (at least in the author's eyes) was "As Canadian as possible under the circumstances".

My other fave was the brit proposed slogan for England - "No slogan please, we're British".

Tell 'em Hurricane Janet wiped (no pun intended .. . ..REALLY!) out their cozy abode. Then proceed to discuss the role of gov't, the need for taxation, FEMA etc.

Maybe next week, when one fails to adequately handle some sort of mess, the other will say "yer doin' a heck of a job, Brownie".

Can't let you have all the fun scaring away the timid.

Gads, trying to understand principle component analysis and Eigen vectors. I'm pretty sure if you place the word "theoretical" in front of any subject, that subject should be considered only "theoretically" important. (As in, "I'm theoretically working today").

Sorry, babbling. Brain wearing out.

Gawd.... so this week it was Ezra's turn for a check-up, and he had 4 immunizations Tuesday. Yesterday he woke up with a badly swollen leg, red lump a little smaller than the diameter of a baseball. This morning it was TWICE that size, and growing. :(

They'd told me to expect some redness and swelling in that leg from the tetanus shot, but when it got to where his whole thigh was one big, hot, red lump from top to knee... I was like, This is a bit extreme. Called the doctor. Of course, they said to come in immediately.

His poor little leg is at least twice its normal size. When we were at the doctor's office, hanging out in the hallway talking to the doctor, a group of nurses and receptionists gradually gathered around to gape in amazement at his leg. He loved that, of course! He kept yanking the leg of his shorts up so everyone could get the full view... "Look!!! I got SHOT!" No, no, no honey, that's where you got *A* shot.

He's going to be on Benedryl and Prednisone for a few days. As Ezra was enthusiastically skipping around behind me, singing the Spiderman theme, the pharmacist says, "This stuff might hype him up a little..." She pauses... and then bursts out laughing. I just shook my head. "You got anything back there to help me keep up with him???" :rolleyes:

Our doc is starting to think we may want Ez to see an allergist... Which I agree with. Especially now that I've got the state insurance for the kids for at least a year... now is the time to do it if we're gonna do it.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Oh my Goodness Sarah!!!! Poor Ez . . . at least it doesn't seem to be bothering him too much. When my son was on prednisone and bouncing off the walls at the docs office once, I mentioned in passing to another mother that he was going to survive the illness but I was going to have to kill him because of his behavioUr. She remarked "that's how I feel when my kids are on steriods" . . . and she didn't even know he was on it . . . :lol::lol: Yep, get that boy to the allergist, stat!!! It took me two months to get in to see one so make an appointment soon!!!

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

OMG-Sarah so sorry to hear about Ezra's leg....poor kid. Any better yet?

jerseyangel Proficient

Gawd Sarah--how awful! At least Ez isn't too fazed by the whole thing.

An allergist sounds like an excellent idea ;)

elye Community Regular

Sarah!! That poor kid a' your'n! heavens - - leg like a tree trunk....Gawd. At least he was not frightened (as you were, I'm sure!)

Hope the Benedryl takes hold fast...I gave Jack some last week for a bad skin reaction to an oral allergy med he started, and it was much better very quickly - - like within the hour. :)

Alas, no more, now I'm writing a skit for the cub scout meeting tonight . . . boo - hiss . . . would totally get in trouble if I added my own humoUr to it.

Oh!! Janet - - just print off the last fifty pages of this thread, and voila! Ya got yer play...complete with an ensemble cast, plot twists and turns, catharsis, tragedy and comedic relief...dogs (they love the pet thing), left and right-handedness, discussions about neighboUrs, different cultures....oh, wait.....Jess the dominatrix.......Hmmmmmm....

      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 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      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 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. 
    • trents
      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.
    • SilkieFairy
      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 coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @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/
