They are only OK. I took his bandages off last night, no skin on the inside of his 2 middle fingers, so I have them gauzed and taped together. I managed to keep him preoccupied in the tub last night with a swarm of ladybugs that have taken over our MA-bath, long enough to wash them up as best I could. They are no longer swollen and he can bend them a bit, so I think they will be fine, I think it's just a bad place to lose all yer skin :rolleyes:

You'd think 26 years of riding a bike, 16 years of driving a car, 10 years of pushing $300,000 ultrasound machines and 8 years of pushing priceless cargo in a buggy I'd have better depth perception.... :wacko:

Thanks fer askin' :)

Good Mornin', gang!

Not much happenin' here in my nation's capital. .. .. . .....snow and then A LOT of rain over the next couple of days. Great snowball-making weather currently - - I have been out throwing them in the backyard for Charles, who is obsessed with balls. He races after them, they plunk into the snow, he begins to dig maniacally, searching, searching.. . ......then he suddenly throws his head up, mouth full of snow.

Um, and no, Karreighn.. . ..this is one o' me dogs, not my son or husband. . . ..... .. .:lol:

My husband & sons have been known to chase a few snowballs. In fact youngest, throws them for Puppy & chases them himself.

Have to rush off to my bone density test. Apparently they can't tell how dense I am by talking to me.

Well yeah....in the bone dept.....

Reminds me--over the weekend I referred to a woman we were discussing as "handsome". Mark looked at me like this :huh: and then this :lol:

So, two things not to describe a woman as--solid and/or handsome. :P

Just heard from the PCP office. Bones are only a little less dense then should be - so I'm mostly solid. Iron is way up, almost normal. Wants me to see the saintly GI to follow-up & diet advice (how will that help 2 months from now?). Not sure what he would do. Had to tell the nurse that he had told me things that did not agree with what I had read on Mayo clinic, Univ of Chicago, etc & that I didn't trust him. Said she would tell PCP & call back.

Here's to solid dense handsome women!! :lol::lol: Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . I think I fit most of that description . . . :lol:

They are only OK.

:(

Glad they're improving, though . . . and those little guys can heal so fast it'll make yer head spin.

RAST testing back for Skeeter . . . Level one for milk and Level two for egg whites . . . and a ton of other stuff not allergic (and I do realize that this is not "false +/-" proof.) Ped also thinks she wasn't on the Reglan long enough to clear up her condition . . . although she has not had any episodes for a while. :blink: So once again, we really don't know what happened which means it could happen again at anytime. Oh well - storing a few possiblities in me head for future reference.

I remember as a kid reading a book or maybe a movie, where in the future, we would eat a pill a day with all our nutrients & food. This would cure all our dietary problems. With my luck, it wouldn't be gluten-free.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
