Well, she's not naming it Bunnie.....

Maybe that is because you don't spend enough quality time here with us, Julie. Don't be a stranger. :wub:

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

Hey! Where's Patti? I hope she didn't freeze in a snow pile!

:P I'm here--we are having a floor installed in my son's kitchen and laundry room. It was supposed to be done yesterday, and suffice it to say that everything that could possibly go wrong did.

The installer--whom we have known for 15 years and did mucho work for us when we lived here--decided to remove the hot water heater, which is the right way to do it. Hyjinks ensued when he turned the "shut-off" valve and it proceeded to spew water all over the place. (he missed the real one underneath the unit :rolleyes: ) It ended up phlooding the floor, got all over the walls, and even soaked the phone.

We had to put in an emergency call to the water dept, who came within 10 minutes and shut off the water to the house--and this is where Karrighn's snow pile comes in....they had to dig through about 2 feet of piled up snow to get to the valve. (once it was under control, they turned it back on) Since the water heater spent the night on the back porch, we had no hot water last night. The floor guys are here now, the plumber will be back around noon and hopefully it'll be done by this afternoon.

I did have a quiet break in the afternoon yesterday when I drove Matt to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. Got to sit in the waiting room and watch Animal Planet :D

Why do they do that? My house has 2 shut-offs to house - one 8 inches above the other. Plumbers have never been able to explain that.

Glad you are OK. You are usually on here all the time but when you weren't I started worrying. Then my mind started going in wild tangents. I hoped you decided to chuck all this snow & had just run off to Tahiti. But then.... I remembered you had been sick. There was a thing on the news about what happens to your FB if you die. One of J's football & lacrosse teammates dad died suddenly so we have had that on our minds. So I started to leap to horrible thoughts.

Hadn't thought of Remodelling Hell.

Holy crap. . . . .. . ....well, you haven't just phlipped over a big number.. . .. ....Patteigh, you need to ask your son if he is posting on any online forums, and if so, to check his post count. This Deluge Clause could be present in many other forums, for all we know.. . . ... .. :unsure:... . . . ..

Aw thanks :wub: Twas a rare thing, but I wasn't on the computer at all yesterday. Mark had to go back last night to get back to work (he took yesterday off), but I'm thinking I'll just stay till Saturday so he doesn't have to make the trip to come get me after work. I just hope the washer is hooked up tonight--I've been here since Friday night and don't wanna run out of clothes...

Put them out on the front lawn as an art installation. A commentary on the weather and our society.

Was thinking maybe a name made with all our first initials but we don't have enough vowels.

I started to make a list of alternative names for the short bus, in case the Canadian group knows not what I mean, but as I was typing the list, I felt dirty and ashamed, so I erased them all :blink:

Well, I was new to the short bus (although sometimes feel I need to be on one :blink: - see below ) Had to google it - that's one bit of technology I have mastered to a fine art :P

I tried to do it last week and couldn't. I tried for an hour changing formulas, picking different pictures.... Nuthin <_<

Hahaha - welcome to the world of the technology challenged. :lol: That's what it's like for us all the time. Although I have scrambled out of the 1900's. Instead of saying "I wanna Iphone" I kept saying "I wanna Ipod" Of course, being of short bus calibre I didn't know what they even looked like, but said to hubs, if I'm going to put in the miles on the damned treadmill, I gotta have me some decent music, and sent him to not only buy me one but to put the music on it too :lol: Now I toddle along to my heart's content listenin' to the happy beat with my happy feet. Couldn't believe how tiny those things are, but my humungous head has such little ears stuck on it that the speaker buds are almost too big to stay in :unsure:

You need the ones like ear plugs that you squeeze, put in ears then they expand so they stay in better. Or just the old school headphones like earmuffs ;)

      @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.

      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.

      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.

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!
