Glad Bagheera (and the Sawyers) are still around. Dunno about Bilbo. I think Lyle needs a friend, but I'm not sure a grown cat will work. MCs tend to be mellow, so maybe....

He is adorable . . . but be careful with herding types and kids. I know a family that had to give their australian shepard up . . . kept herding (nipping) their kids and I know another family that has had absolutely no problems with their aussie. Really depends on the dog.

Just fine. Jacquie went to visit her friend Joanne for tea yesterday afternoon. Joanne works at a vet clinic, and she said they had kittens which were free to a good home. Jacquie asked if there were any black ones, and there were. "Do you want to go see them?"

Well, Jacquie brought him home for a "trial" - Joanne would come by in the morning and collect the borrowed carrier, with or without the kitten. The kitten did not go back to the clinic, and is currently here in the store with us. :)

We were concerned that our five year old female, Riley, would be aggressive and start fights, but so far so good.

Jyesssss! GET. THAT. CAT.

OMG.. . . .....he is beeoootiful. :wub:

Shroomie, whot can you tell us about these incredible, somewhat repulsive creatures?

.:rolleyes:

Repeat after me: "New Zealand and Australia are two very different countries separated by 1700 miles of ocean. Australia is old world; New Zealand is new world. Their critters are totally different." In fact, used to be New Zealand didn't have many critters, especially not girnormous bats (although we do have some itty bitty ones somewheres). Someone let loose some wallabies a long time ago but I have never seen one, and their pesky mynah bird hitched a ride over here somehow, but thank god the rest of the horrendous critters they have stay where they belong - which is NOT HERE!!

Well, we survived the night, and Bagheera is still here. :)

Bug-Ear-A is just that - cute as a bug's ear. :D But then, I'm a sucker for kittehs:rolleyes:

The itinerary could always take in the Lake - wouldn't find much wodka in my house, but plenty of Bacardi and whine (and chocolate cake :D )

Canna wait for England vs US. . . . .. . .. . . ..and I do so wish that Canada had a team.... Someday. . . ..

You can nae wear skates or use sticks in that game :lol: Just wait till Tuesday when New Zealand plays Slovakia!

Glad Bagheera (and the Sawyers) are still around. Dunno about Bilbo. I think Lyle needs a friend, but I'm not sure a grown cat will work. MCs tend to be mellow, so maybe....

My MC is the sweetest thang, she is a great companion. Likes to sit beside you most of the time, rather than on the lap (thank God - don't need 17 lbs on me lap all the time!)

Gosh all these new kittehs and puppies, it must be spring. Well someone better be having spring. We have been having cold floods, and snaough and I can't wait to leave. At least the airport doesn't flood :o

Not hypoallergenic dogs, just cats. DH is deathly allergic to cats but has no issues with dogs. I think we're still about a year off getting a dog, but I can't help but keep my eyes out at the shelters and rescues!

He is adorable . . . but be careful with herding types and kids. I know a family that had to give their australian shepard up . . . kept herding (nipping) their kids and I know another family that has had absolutely no problems with their aussie. Really depends on the dog.

Good to know. A coworker has one and she's been the best dog for their family. Also, anything "mini" just pulls my heart strings! :wub:

So I was thinking of changing Buddie's name to Kiwi, but since he's an Australian shepherd, does that, then, not work? ;):D

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6.

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.
