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:

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

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 :)

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
