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.

I kinda remember that too, now that you mention it.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
    • Scott Adams
      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.
