Got on here to find some giggles. I found some, but they quickly turned to sobs. I swear, if I hear 1 more person say, "At least it wasn't a cat or a dog, that would have been worse..." I shall SCREAM!!!

WIH??? Love is love :( Jeepers, I loved Mocha and only "knew" him by the pictures and you telling us all about his antics. What a sweet, wee lil' fella--I don't think I'll ever forget the sight of his nose in the paper roll. :wub:

He had such a happy life with your family, Rach. Hug each other a lot and let yerselphes feel ;)

Oh Rachel, I am so sorry about Mocha. Never saw the wee fella, but bunnies do worm their way into your hearts. Grieve now and then remember later :wub:

Max is my saving grace. He keeps looking at me like he's expecting me to explode at any second (I waited for the massive waterworks until they were at school), but I asked him if he was sad this afternoon and he said, "Not anymore... Can we get a dog tomorrow?!" :lol:

We just had the burial. Poor Maddie. My heart is breaking for her. Max on the other hand was eying the box, then the hole, then me... "can I do it?" he asks... Um no, since he wanted to throw the box, with "FIRE IN THE HOLE" to follow. Now he's singing a cartoonish song about a dead bunny. Jesse just pulled him aside to talk to him about sensitivity....

Watch out that Max doesn't try ( or succeed) to dig up the body. I have known kids that age that want to see what happens.

No, actually not my boys.

I shall SCREAM!!! I passed a mirror an hour ago and it looks like I've been in a major fight. I guess I have though. I'm going back and forth between fighting with God and repeating the Serenity prayer to myself. Mocha was so very loved in his short time with us. I'm just having a hard time holding my daughter while she sobs, clutching her chest crying that, "It just hurts so bad mama, my heart hurts so bad"

RIP Mocha bunny -_-

So sorry to hear about mocha bunny. I will keep your family and her in my prayers!

love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

:lol:

I don't think he could if he tried. Jesse dug the hole so deep that I could barely reach to the bottom. We let him shovel the dirt back into the hole. He was satisfied with that ;)

:ph34r:

OK.....I confess.....

I used to dig up my long-dead hamsters. I would dig up all the wee bones, clean them off, and coat them with clear fingernail polish.

....in the name of science, naturally :P

Sorry to hear about sweet Mocha :(

Had some blood tests run today. I've had swollen lymph glands for 3 weeks WHILST on antibiotics. <_<

When do you get the test results?

Did you put the hamster bones back together like a museum dinosaur?

      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.

      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!
