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.

I'm sure you will get ALL KINDS of calls re. Velcro... . ... . ......lots of good families looking for a mature, handsome boy like him. :)

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! :)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
