I am spending the afternoon once I get there with my Little Leah...who is not so little anymore she is 10 :rolleyes: she was a foster child in my house when I was in high school, and she got adopted 10 minutes away from where we live. We are in close contact with her family. I can't wait to see her!!!!

So if you don't hear from me as much. I will try to check in. Bye Guys!!!!

Oh, your next few days sound superb, Amanda! :)

And so nice that you've kept in touch with one of your foster kids.....I think your parents are amazing people to devote their lives to fostering children - - and SO great for you to have grown up in a wonderful, dynamic household like this!

Em---hope you feel much better ASAP! That sucks!

Take care of Emily....send the Yeti to bring her more reading material for the loo...she may need em!

:lol: Actually, things have really calmed down....it was only the first couple of hours this morning, and I don't usually spend much time on the toilet....just walking around with my pants undone (quite something when I'm at work) :lol::rolleyes: and feeling those telltale needle-like stomach pains. It's all good now. Threw meself into a good run, and that does seem to help. Also keeps me from becoming a Princess Chunk, myself...... :lol:

Well, I'm outta here for now. Gotta jump in the shower real quick. Luke has a pretty important doctor's appointment today, regarding the chronic constipation. He also has a weird mark/lesion/thing on his leg, that has been growing. I don't know what it is, but with my mom getting dxed with Sarc, it makes me nervous.

Will update yall on the appt later.

Sign for the day:

. . . tomorrow is my knee surgery.

Surgery

Form both hands into *A* hands..........remember those?....fists with the thumb along the side......and touch the tips of the thumbs. Pull the dominant hand away, like you are drawing (or cutting) the incision. This can be done at the location of the surgery, so Janet's would be done across her knee.

Good luck, Gian-knit!!!!

Hope Luke's appt is fruitful :)

Gian-knit's gni surgery already!! It'll go perfectly - see ya Saturday :)

How's Ptaum doing ?? :unsure:

Haven't even started the bulk of the new pills. Trying to gauge the one w/ a bit o' milk from the probiotic blend component. So far, only once felt like I might be getting the weird mental effect.

She (the ND) wanted me to test it for 3 days at first but then agreed to 5 - w/ refund if applicable.

I might extend it to a week to be more sure.

I won't expect anything to report until a week or so after starting the other pills, which include an adrenal formula. :)

Hehe seeing the question makes me think Knic hasn't seen me posting every day!! :o

Good to see Julie back in the mix .. ..now where's Bevvy? And .. ..Poetre? Maybe just working too much .... .

Janet! Be thinking of you tomorrow.....the best of luck to you (which you won't need)!

Sarah! You must be home from Luke's appointment....Tell! Tell! :)

Mygawd......just been going through a mental list of all the words that Lisa has given us in ALS, trying to come up with a sentence or situation where one could use a smattering of them together for practice.

So, here were the first, obvious ones:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

:blink:

Don't know if I wanna pursue dat sentence.......

Yup, just got home. The appointment was... a smidge disappointing as far as the constipation problem goes. I updated her on what I've tried with the df diet, fiber supplements, etc. She already knew about the improvement he's had on the gluten-free diet.

Her thoughts right now are that his system is sluggish due to... wait for it... IBS. :( :( Whaaaaaatt? I'm one of those who believes IBS is a symptom, not a condition. :( Soo... today was the first time in nearly eight years of her being our family doc that I've disagreed with her. But I'm going with it for now, for two reasons.

A- She is taking the problem seriously, and we're going to try step-up doses of Miralax to get him moving again. This is my number 1 priority right now, because if we don't do something soon, he's going to get seriously impacted.

B- I found out that the GI docs at Brenner's won't even take a referral for an initial appt until we've tried the Miralax. (Brenner's Children's Hospital is where I would take him. They're an excellent facility, associated with Wake Forest, and they actually have a major pediatric Celiac center. Yup, all that less than hour from me. Too bad I didn't have insurance for the kids a few years ago. <_< )

She said that if the Miralax works well, he just needs to stay on it, on a maintenance dose. He may grow out of it, or he may need to stay on it for life. I'm not happy with that idea at all. But I'm taking it one day at a time for now.

She looked at the mark on his leg- checked out the pores with her scope thingy- and it's nummular eczema. Basically this is just a particular shape- circular, coin sized- of eczema. While we were looking at it, we found other, patchier areas of eczema on his hip. She thinks it's probably caused by stress from the bathroom issues.

Sigh... I just don't know.

Janet! Surgery tomorrow - zoigs!!!!!!!!!! You'll be in my thoughts. :) Be sure and get some good drugs.

Surgery, stuck, penis.

:lol: :lol: :lol: useful terms......come on Em, make a sentence!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes I just completely chortle to selph when I think about all the naughty words and......bathroom humoUr we regularly use on here. :lol: :lol: Anal glands, penis, scrotum (tho 'tis a kangaroo scrotum, I believe), pee, wee, poop, boobs, phecal, phart chart.....what'd I miss? :lol:

sarah..........ohhhh. :( I don't know what to think or say about this diagnosis. Miralax, forever? Wow. Somehow, I don't think that's the final answer......but SO glad you can get into that facility later. You guys are going through too much this past year. I'm starting to wonder if your house is poisoning you! :unsure: (except, your hubby's healthy, isn't he?)

and BTW - I think others have learned that it's best not to disagree with......um.......well, certain person(s) on this forum. :ph34r:

Lord, I have to go to happy hour today. :yawn: You see, that would be REALLY fun if I lived in a great city like, say........Seattle, Chicago, Denver, etc. But here??????????? :rolleyes: You gotta take fun friends wif you because........the patrons ain't all the interesting. <_< (you'd have to live here forEVER to understand)

Why thank you, Tom :)

Good luck with all the new supps! Is the one with a bit o milk the probiotic? If you do have a problem with those they do make df ones. You are lucky she will give you a refund if you react, GOD I'd have thousands and thousands of buckaroos if I could return what I opened and reacted to after one or two doses :rolleyes::lol:

Surgery, stuck, penis.

I read that as "sugary", which I do believe would have a totally other meaning :nervouslaughface: :lol::lol:

Another sentence to chase away any new silly prospects, and possibly warnings for all.......

Sorry about the disappointing appointment Sarah :( I do hope the Miralax will at least get things moving in the meantime, that is for sure the priority.

Julie--"buckaroos" :lol:

Sarah--I'm sorry the appt wasn't what you had hoped, but good news that the spot on his leg was "only" eczema and nothing more serious.

I had a gastro in NJ who used the term IBS <_< , but still acknowledged that there was a cause. Hopefully, the Miralax will <_< work while a real cause is looked into :)

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
