Did anyone besides Julie see "Dirty Sexy Money" last night? I'm already back into it :lol:B) Julie--what didja think?

Good luck today, Amanda :)

Em--I agree, it's just wild that they sell treadmills for pets. What happened to taking a nice walk?? :huh: I'd much prefer to walk outdoors, but they drive pretty crazily here on these winding country roads. A goil takes her life into her own hands out there :P

Enjoy the day sillies--see ya later :D

It's the squirrels, I'm telling you. They MUST be behind it all. Coaxing the odd rat to "eat that stuff...it's delicious and harmless, really"...., convincing hapless birds that "it's a throughway into the house - - you can see right inside....go ahead, fly through....you're good".....

They are brillliant, charismatic and dangerous. . ......

Who can stop them??

:lol::lol:

Well, I had to scoop up the beautiful, dead bird with my HAND TROWEL, to extricate it from the plant, and THEN onto the shovel.

It broke its neck in teh window crash, and blood was coming out of its closed eye.........dear gawd.....too much savage imagery for me. <erase - erase - erase>

:blink: I showed it to Annie, who was quite curious about it, and she opened her mouth and started to try and get it...........zoigs. A firm "NO" put a stop to this........wonder if the little scavenger would have eaten it?

so now, things in my trash can:

1. an old Nike soccer slide smeared with poo

2. dead, poisoned rat

3. dead, suicidal bird

:unsure:

Woo-hoo I have 2 eyes again!!!!

My Dr said she couldn't tell if it was pink eye or allergies but looking at me today she thought I was fine and if she didn't know anything that I had told her she would assume that I never had any issues with my eye.

I have got to vent something.....Jen was supposed to come up here and help me do a few things this morning, she didn't and was not home when I ran out at 9:00. She is still not back but didn't have even the courtesy to call or send a message saying look something came up I'm sorry. I am really angry cause I waited for her. This isn't the first time she did this either! Any thoughts?

Amanda! Shame on Jen. . . ..Things that you've mentioned to us in the past have made me suspect that Jen perhaps does not always respect your time, your needs, your incredible, unconditional support and friendship . . . ... . ...I dunno, I may be judging too harshly on situations I know too little about - - just a feeling.

OMG. . . . .The PHUNNIEST of lessons today. . . . I had squirrels on the brain, so held an impromptu pronunciation session. :lol::lol: Now, the word "squirrel" is, bar none, the most difficult word for Francophone speakers to pronounce - - some simply cannot say it at all. So, I was hammering away at it, breaking the word into syllables and having them repeat it over and over, lengthening the sounds which continued to remain beyond them . . . ... :lol:

. . . . Perhaps you had to be there. . . . . .... :huh:<_<:lol:

Ok- so Jen has a good excuse this time-- Landen is in the hospital. She took him to the ER at 5 am and the ER discharaged him with a temp of 105. saying nothing was wrong. SO she took him to his Ped. who is not affliated with our hospital. Here he has double earaches and a rectal temp of 106...so they are going to put tubes in his ears ASAP....

Amanda--poor little Landen, that baby's been through so much this year! Let us know how he does.

Well, we just got home.....all I can say is that this appointment was worth waiting for. The gastro spent over 30 minutes wif me, going over me tests/bloodwork/etc. She even ran a haplotype/gene test.....which incidently came out the same as Enterolab with the DQ2. No big surprise there, but good to know about the accuracy of Enterolab.

She's committed to helping me with my food intolerances and resulting D. We're trying sumphin for the next 6 weeks involving meds and a detailed food diary. At that point, I go back and she'll review the situation. She has a couple other ideas, so if this isn't successful we will go on to the next thing.

I may have to have another colonoscopy :( (had one 3 years ago), we'll revisit that too in 6 weeks. (not to check for anything sinister, but to take more biopsies for diagnostic purposes) She also told me she has some literature that talks about sprue and the colon, which she will read up on in the meantime.

I looked at her and asked her if I was a lost cause (tongue in cheek) and she said no--and that the goal was going to be to get me feeling better.

She sat and asked how this all started--she was very interested in the full picture. I have never had that happen before--her eyes were not glazed over, she was really listening. :o I'm so hopeful :D

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
