Hey all! Rain, and more rain here. Just cold enuff to freeze on the trees and shrubs...looks really pretty. Not cold enough to freeze the roads, so that's kool. Has iced up me deck.....wooden but not self-erected :lol: . I am not in the least tempted to try going down the ice-covered steps.....oh, no,no,no. Still having troubles from my slinky adventure <_<

Glad to hear from Kween Manda! I'm excited for you! After a year in our house there are still some things unpacked....still some things unfound (probably in the black holes with all of those escapee socks and squished boobies :rolleyes: ). 'Tis fun to arrange and decorate a new home.

"Kool Beans in the Belfry"? Just playing around with our trite sayings. Can come up with some pretty odd mental images. I love words, language, playing around wif it all. Maybe that's weird....but I am comfortable with my weirdness.

Hope yer all havin' a super day. Later

Good afternoon, psillies.

HOLY Tiger Pigs!!! What in hell's me post count??? :o

PHLUID events have been occuring and they are GUT CHURNING!!!!!!!

Poor wee Alzey.... he's had a Whitlow cuticle infection on his finger for about a week, they usually clear by themselves (he bites his nails, I think that's why he gets 'em?)

WELL, this one ain't clearing...I phoned me gp but the dragon receptionist was adamant that the quack doc couldn't see him 'til MONDAY!!!! :angry: ....poor lad's in alot of pain.... (UK's NHS is going to pot BTW! :rolleyes: )

....ANYHOO, can't leave him in pain so I took him to a 'minor injuries unit' (a bit like a 'minor ER')

The nurse looked, winced, and said 'let me just take a look'........OMG!!!!!..as she touched it, IT EXPLODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHhhhh!!!!!!! Pus and blood everywhere!!!!!!!! :vomitface:

She's had to put a dressing on it - he's going to lose his nail :( .....they want to test him for diabetes as he the slightest scratch gets infected :blink::rolleyes: (although I don't think it's that ...he just has a poor immune system)

Ok, hope you weren't eating and reading :lol: ...but HAD to share ;)

OH, boiler news...... they'll ring me when they know something :blink::lol: ('cos I ain't on their computer!)

Okey dokey ......this could be a looooong winter.... but I think we're acclimatising!!!!!!

Nik! Poor wee Alzy!! Well, he ain't so wee, now, is he?). . . . . :rolleyes:

Gawd, methinks you'd have a pretty good idea if he were diabetic - - so many screaming, debilitating symptoms (rapid weight loss, excessive thirst and urination, blurry vision, wicked head pain).....this can't be it! An easily infected kid, wif a wonky immune system . . .. . . ... . .hope there's no more blood and/or pus!!

Ummmm, Ptaughmmnnn........we need to have a talk :ph34r: I already know we were both in Tucson about the same time. I also lived in another Chicago suburb, Elmhurst, in about..........let me think..........I was in 4th and 5th grade, and I guess 6th :unsure: ...............age 8-10, maybe 11...........carry the one................1967, '68, '69 thereaboutish. Where else you been?........Florida?........Utah?...........Indiana? Had no idea you been tryin' to find me all yer life! :lol:

Venice FL & Sandy UT!!!!!!!!! :o :phokoinkidinkphace:

Elmhurst Rd (aka 83) is a main thoroughfare thru Mt Prospect!! Taking it straight south 2 or 3 towns puts me in yer old town :)

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Nope, I used to live in Lake County but have migrated closer to "the city" to be closer to school... I guess better wording in my original post would have been "suburban Illinois" (the HUGE area that is referred to as "Chicagoland" but is actually not conveniently located to Chicago) ;)

Psilly Illinoisians!

Ahh yes Lake County's nice. As a kid we'd go applepicking in Wauconda, and fishing at Fox, Pistakee, Chain o' Lakes et al. :happyreminisceface:

I was .... but it takes more than that to gross me out. :) I hope his nail grows back quickly.

I was so easily bruised before I got better that I lost a toenail last summer due to bruising .... and the worst part is, I don't even know how I got the bruise! I didn't even know it was there till I removed my toenail polish and saw it!

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Uh, I missed this ... are you serious? (I ask on the silly thread, ROFL!)

Nik Nik, you may have to start mentioning the dreaded ......lawyer word to those pee-poles. If lawyer does not work the first time you may have to mention (ahem)...lawyer There has to be a way to get them moving! It's inhumane to leave people without heat in midwinter. Jak Phrost should NOT be knipping at your nose in your own living room :angry:

:lol::lol:

I haven't been blue-googled this ad yet - - are TOMS an American restaurant chain? Or is it really a dating site, where only those named Tom can be members?

Perhaps it is just a statement.....All Toms, generally, are vegan-friendly. Running through all of the Toms I've ever known... . . . . .. .Y'know, it's probably true!! :huh::lol:

Poor Alzey!!!! I hope it heals quickly :)

Exciting times Amanda!!!! :D

      Buckwheat

      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
