Amanda!!! You should know by now that we don't scare easily!!! We've all got family stories we could share . . . some might be immediate family, some might be extended or in-laws or extended in-laws :P . We currently are not too bad right now in my family . . . but don't ever lend my brother money . . . every one of us learned the lesson, the hard way.

We went up to J's sister's place this afternoon and saw the new PBGV puppies. Pictures on FB for those who are interested.

WIH does PBGV mean?

Pygmy Beagle/Giant Vizsla? . . ..I'm pretty sure I'm close :lol:

Sadly, the smallest/youngest did not make it through the night. He had been struggling all along.

:(

Amanda, not at all--You didn't scare me off, I just haven't been around here as much. Like Jan-it said, I'm sure many of us have "family situations", so we really do understand. My heart goes out to little Silvia--that's so very sad.

One thing I've learned (sometimes the hard way) is that we can't change anyone, but only our own reactions and how we relate to them.

On another, kinda dopey note....I couldn't find the bedroom TV remote yesterday, for the life of me. When we pulled down the covers to go to bed last night, there it was--I had made the bed right over it :blink:

Bunnie poop-in!!! I's been MIA, I's a bad girl.

Manda, my sister is a trollop who's evil and has the world's biggest mood swings. She went from all organic no gluten to McDonald's for ABSOUTELY no reason, just because she didn't feel like it anymore. The kids look terrible, and boy are they confused. I know how you feel.

Dat's all I caught up on, and the wedding YAY Lisa! How wonderful.....

I bought new sheets and I'm PMSing. That's all I got about me.

Awwwwww Judy . . . I'm sorry . . . I didn't know that your kitty wasn't going to make the move with you. I hope he finds a new home quick, though, so that you know that he's all settled in.

Judith, I'm so very sorry :( He is a beautiful kitty and I just know that someone kind is going to scoop him up. I can only imagine how hard this is for you.

So sorry Judes. Passing on a friend is so hard.

Max is really sick. He apparently ingested some sort of poison that's causing hemolytic anemia. I'm just trying to keep him fed and hydrated and hope for the best. If his crit drops much lower he may end up with a transfusion. :(

Morning Sillies-

Sending prayers to Max--sorry to hear about him :(

Today is going to be chaotic- I entered 3 baking contests at the fair- 1 PB fudge, 1 cupcake and 1 cake---both of which are gluten-free Keep your fingers crossed :):):)

Mornin', peeps... . .

Sad kitteh stuff 'round here. .. . . ...... :(:(

So sorry about Max, Jyess. You are so good with your cats, he's lucky to have you as an owner and caregiver.

Any calls on our Velcro, Jooooode? I would, honestly, take him into my home in a second. Wonder how he'd feel about two huge, energetic sub-standard poodles vying for his attention? :rolleyes:

The Ripper is away at a two-week sleepover camp. It's the first time he's been away so long, and we really hesitated to send him so soon after his grampa's death. Jack has been very quiet since Dad died.....still waters running deep, and all.

But we finally decided that it was the best thing for Jack to do -- get away from here and the lingering sadness, be on a beach with lots of other kids, swimming, canoeing, hiking, horseback-riding.... . . . ...but I do miss him.

I sent him my first letter the day before he left. :huh::rolleyes:

Yes, such sad kitteh situations :( Thinkin about wee Max and Velcro.......

Em, I think it's a very good idea for Jack to go to his camp. Time out in nature with friends and kids his age sounds perfect right now. :) How is Sophie doing?

I THINK IT'S GOOD THAT THE RIPPER IS OFF AT CAMP AND JACK WILL FIND HIS WAY...JUST AS YOU WILL EM. NO WORD ON VELCRO. NOT SURE THIS WILL WORK BUT........BUT WE'VE DONE WHAT WE CAN AT THIS POINT. FLYER GOING INTO THE VETS TOO.

Good morning, psillies.

The basement is no longer full of garbage. :)

I'm thinking of Max and Velcro, hoping for good things for both of them.

I'll bet Jack has a great time at camp, phocused on phun stuph.

Actually, Soph is doing well. She is a very physically busy kid, with a lot of group sports going on, and she has many friends. Jack is a different beast -- he thinks and reads a great deal, doesn't surround himself with many other kids... .. ...I know that when he grieves throughout his lifetime, it will always be a huge trial for him.

But camp will be a great experience right now.

SO MUCH TO DO AND SO LITTLE TIME.

Been thinking about you, Joooodie. Nothing is more stressful than a big move..... ... but hey, it will be all over soon and you'll be in your new abode, and right near your son! :)

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      By catnapt · Posted

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
