So I remembered the Coconut Dream stuff? The stuff the Soy Delicious people make out of coconut milk that's made with agave instead of sugar! I get to have that instead of Haagen Dazs! My mother's bringing some over along with refried beans (tasty and squishy and nutritious with cheese) and some frozen spinach for soup. Hopefully I won't starve. It's hard to get up the chutzpah to eat when I have to get past the huge nasty bubble on my lip and the pain in my jaw. I've been making protein shakes and squishy eggs but at some point I will need meat......

So I talked to my work again today and apparently there's at least two people that never had the chickpox. Geez, what kinda parents do these people have? :) :)

Sounds like a good mom! I like that coconut ice cream. If you crumble up some hamburger into teeny tiny pieces, you can bacisally swallow it. (Had a baby who wouldn't eat squishy baby food and had 4 teeth).

My kids never got the pox. They were exposed many times but didn't get it. They got the vaccine. I heard there is one for shingles. Might look into it since you can keep getting them I think.

Bun--I was gonna suggest hamburger too, and also you can mince poached (in chicken broth) chicken up very finely too--mix it into mashed potatoes. You poor thing--it sounds wretched :(

Karreighn--there is a shingle vaccine, my dad got it. :)

Drove Matt to the doctor earlier this afternoon--he caught a virus or sumphin from Mark over a week ago and woke up this morning feeling much worse. He went to work, but left by 11:30--his supervisor told him to....Anywho, the family doctor is on vacation, so we went to another one who was on call.

He may have bronchitis and is on antibiotics. I've been fighting whatever this is for a week and a half....hope me luck (and hyper immune system) holds out :unsure::P

Oh Bunneigh- OUCH! Shingles is awful. My dad had them 3-4 years ago and they kept him doped on percocet 24/7 cuz he was in so much pain. His were on his back and side. I cannae believe you have one on your lip! Bunny, hunny, eat the ice cream. Lots of protein, easy to swallow. If I was a tad bit closer I would brong it to you meselph! :wub: :wub:

What darling Knikki *hereafter referred to as DK* didn't tell you is that she showed up with a bag of treats!!

You both rock! Geoss- first time I saw your abs. WOW- gorgeous!

We are at the most amazing beach, drove all the way out here to see the sunset, which is about to happen! Maddie was swimming with the sea turtles and eels, had to drag her from the water. Conversation went like this:

Me: Maddie, I can see your nipples.

Max: Nickels? Where are her nickels?

Me: No, nipples.

Max: Where?

Me: On your chest.

Max: Right here? (pointing to nipples) Nickels? They're not shiny, they're NOT nickels, but they kinda look like them....

Rolly-eyes. ;)

:lol: :lol: So happy- we's got Psillies in Spain and Hawaii! So jealous- snorkel for me. I love seeing all the fish-ees!

PeOter, brave soul that he is, is the only one who has stick wif us :lol:

That's why we love him!

Precisely the intestinal fortitude needed.....

M-m-m-m....wondering to selph if there is an antibody test fer this intestinal fortitude? Gene test, per'aps? :P

Patti :lol: x10

I think you're right about that, Shroomie! We need to do more squeaking--much like Nik at the airport the other day

As lomng as it's not squealing :lol: PadT- yer cracking me up too!

I'm telling yer!!... this'll be THE LAST 'Hope you're happy in your New Home' card I send Patti!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pseriously hope tis the last time.

We pack well, don't we?

Thank Gawd.....now I have to move and is not happy about it. Our landlord has decided to sell the house we've been renting. Goes on the market soon. I'm on a new round of antibiotics (the break was FUN while it lasted!) and the thought of packing is <insertSuzzle'sgreenvomitousfacehere>

I'm just thankful that she doesn't ask us to help pack and load furniture.

Oh man, I thought you guys would help me! :P

You feel sooooo very awful. It's hard to eat. Really the best food to treat shingles is premium ice cream. I'm sure I saw a medical study on that. Yes, it was 3 separate studies now that I think about it. Sorry, I can't find them right now to reference them. Trust me. ;)

I saw the same study!

Oh and BTW I am no longer a mod (didn't have enough time right now) so I can no longer protect yer identity under the Moderator Protection Program. You is on your own! :lol:

Well, apparently they can be triggered whenever your immune system takes a blow, and also by extreme sunlight exposure? Last weekend (10 days ago) I got a wicked bad sunburn on my face. So it's all my fault. And it's never going to happen again, lemme tell ya. I've had my "Come to Jesus" moment, I'll be traveling with sunscreen in my purse from March to September from now forever onward. I'm just hoping it won't last as long as I've heard it can, since my system usually kicks the crap out of viruses in half the time it takes everyone else to deal with them. I'm taking the doctor-prescribed antiviral, Vicodin, and Advil for the pain. Also- Vit C, Vit B complex, zinc, spirulina, cod liver oil, probiotics, and am going to start using a detox tea. Anyone got any other ideas?

I guy I used to work with swore that extra tough/long workouts (to raise your body temp and burn it out of you) followed by large amounts of alcohol (to help you pass out sleep) were the keys to getting over illnesses quickly.

Depends on what's made you sick . . . I had the phlooh once and the last thing I had to eat before I got sick was mint chocolate chip ice cream . . . I used to love it, now I can't stand it.

No lie--when I was in 5th grade, I puked one night after eating rice and never ate it again until after I was married. :huh:

I puked fairly recently (sometime this year) from food poisoning, and I had had pasta with tomato sauce. That was pleasant. Hasn't kept me away from tomatoes though! Once when I was a kid I threw up a chunk of chicken, completely unchewed. The weird part? I hadn't eaten chicken in days. We still sometimes puzzle over that one!

I have this mental image of Bunnie and extended phamily sitting around the Christmas tree with presents and wrapping paper strewn about and then someone (Uncle Ray, maybe) says . . . "Hey, remember that time Bunnie barfed up some unchewed chicken and it had been days since she had chicken??" . . . followed by . . . "yeah, them were some good times."

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.

      And thank you for your encouragement. I am glad that her body is doing a good job fighting it. I also just want clarity for her moving forwards. She was only 6 for the last round of testing and she's 10 now, so I'm also hoping that makes a difference. It was weird during her last round of testing though, because right before her biopsy, we'd upped her gluten intake by giving her biscuits made from straight up vital wheat gluten, and her labs actually normalized slightly (lower ttg and her ema went negative). Bodies just do weird things sometimes! lol

      The first negative biopsy in 2021 just said "no pathological change" for all the samples, and the second one in 2022 said "Duodenal mucosa with mild reactive change (focal foveolar metaplasia) and preserved villous architecture." So I think Marsh score 0 in both cases, though it's not actually written in the pathology reports. I'm really hoping to get a clear positive result this time, just for her sake.

      Blood results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hopefully the biopsy gives a conclusive and correct diagnosis for your daughter. Im in the UK and have been in the situation a few years ago of trying to rule celiac in or out after inconclusive results. Many symptoms pointing to it including the classic symptoms and weight loss and folate and iron deficiency. You have to play a waiting game. I also had the label of IBS and likely food allergy. Genetic test showed low risk for celiac but not no risk. It sounds like the Gastroenterologist is on it and hopefully will diagnose what it is correctly. Food hypersensitivity (allergy) can also cause similar symptoms and inflammation as well as mimicking IBS. Milk / dairy and wheat (cereal grains) being the biggest culprits. The “oesophagitis” and “gastritis” you mentioned can be caused by another gastrointestinal disorder called “eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders”. These are named depending on which part of the gastrointestinal tract is affected. For example eosinophilic oesophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and more rare eosinophilic colitis. They are antigen (allergen) driven. When the blood test measuring anti-ttg antibodies is positive in absence of a positive ema test - which is more specific to celiac, this can also suggest food hypersensitivity (allergy). Usually delayed type allergy similar to celiac but not autoimmune if that makes sense. In this case the ttg antibodies are transient. Which happens. I’ve first hand experience. For info, evidence of villous atrophy too can be caused by food hypersensitivity. Not just by celiac disease. In Egid disorders the six food elimination diet, under a dietitian and gastroenterologist care, is the dietary protocol to figure out the culprit or culprits. Sometimes only two food elimination diet is used at first. The number one culprit is milk protein / dairy. Followed by wheat, eggs, soy, fish and seafood, and nuts. Most are only reactive to one food group or two. Most are only reactive to milk. Hope this is a helpful reply.
