M's butt and other bits are in the shower, safe & sound.

Robotics will probably be a big NO! I don't really want them out right now. Also, the school has sent a very definite NO to any activities today. We tried to sneak in a few kids one day, and the principal was there and said to leave. The other snow days they have let kids in after the roads clear. Roads aren't clearing today.

There is a snow covered squirrel on the squirrel feeder. He seems frozen in place except he keeps chewing. Agh! I only have 3 cages suitable for thawing squirrels and 5 squirrels. They will have to take turns.

For sure!

I brought the bunny to school yesterday for Maddie to show her friends. He was quite the boy magnet :P I've never seen boys fall all over themselves over anything like that before (except teenage boys and a hot girl B) )

Perhaps we girls would like to go many places with them, as well. .. . ..but we cannot get a good enough look at the musher.. . . . .looks young.. . . . . ..rather virile. . . . . . ..tough call... :rolleyes:

And hey, speaking of dog-mushing, the Yukon Quest begins this Saturday. Here's who we need to really root for!

Did ya send a GPS with them for blizzard navigation? Does Michelle use GPS??

WE are having the wind (without the snow!!) but poor old Queensland has a category 4 cyclone bearing down on them, expected to dump up to a METER of rain, so they can phlood the parts of the state that are not already phlooded (share the grief, so to speak) :o And the state premier says "We are a resilient people." I should jolly well hope so!!!

So you guys do your normal northern hemisphere blizzard resistance, and we will do our southern hemisphere drowning phlood resistance, and hope we all come out the other side. :unsure:

Part deux of our blizzard has begun. :ph34r:

It's raining icicles :o .....and hubby went out for pizza :wacko: (At least my son-in-law went with him)

.....because the pizza place refuses to deliver. Imagine that <_<

BTW......there are no gluten-free pizza places near us, so DD and I will have to make our own dinner plans.

Nope, not allowed. Gotta find yer way through the mountain passes and psnough squalls, over barren, frozen lakes and ice ridges by yourself. Trails are marked, but for those twelve-plus days you have to be payin' attention.. .. .

OMG... .thank GAWD MIL is not a dog-musher.. . . . . ..... . .cars get dented and banged-up, but these are DOGS....! <_<

They really are something.. . . . . ...those poor pholks... :(

      Is this celiac?

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms. The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines. While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten...

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
