I guess I didn't explain it well. It isn't that he lost. That's disappointing. he played on a football team that didn't win but as long as he did his best, he was happy. This is more the realization that something he has given his heart, soul, & a lot of free time to, is over. This has been his passion for 6 years. He had hoped to win so he could have 1 more competition. As oneof the kids pointed out, they build bigger and better things in engineering school.

I believe hockey is one of the few times a girl likes to be called "The Wall"

Well, The Wall is finished her tournaments.

It was such an incredibly exciting game, and Sudbury was a team of big and very aggressive girls..... . . ...we were way out of our league, actually, but we were TIED 0-0 (Sophie faced 20 shots, the other goalie 4) until the dying seconds of the final period, when Soph saved a tough shot off her glove and the rebound was whipped up, like ligfhtning, over her shoulder. Into the net. I looked at the clock -- 3 seconds remaining.

That was it.

What a way to lose! But Sophie got MVP. A great way to end things....and I don't have to head out to YET another game tonight.:rolleyes:

Okay, now on to baseball.....training camp for Jack is in two weeks. . .. ...

So I accidently flashed a guy at the park yesterday :unsure: Max was showing me some yoga moves he learned and I asked him if he could do the dancer pose. He asked me to show him. Welllllll, when I leaned forward, I kinda lost my right side outta my top. Couldn't figure out why this hottie was watching us so intently... Then I stood up and caught a but of a breeze across the chest. Oops! I was laughing so hard! Thank goodness it was time to leave, we hightailed it to the car and got outta there!

Dear GAWD Raechulle?! ....yer (passion fruit! tongue.gif) jam was butter??? unsure.gif

Would you still put it on toast?? *confused*

It's not really butter. It's hard to explain... Have you ever had apple or pumpkin butter in autumn? It's a big thing here. It's a fruit spread, but creamier, like butter, no seeds like jam, not gelatious like jelly. But it's basically a fruit/sugar puree I guess. It is heaven :)

Gawd, some severe dating of meselph, here.. . . . there has only been one movie that absolutely terrified me as a child: When I was about four, my sister and her boyfriend let me come along to the drive-in to se (the original -- probably 1970) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Hate, hate HATE that movie. Reminded me of a creepy pedophile. :unsure:

I turned on every single light in and around my house last evening during Earth Hour.

:lol::lol:

Warning: very unpsilly stuff ahead!

We were eliminated. Our robot did OK but not as well as it should have in the last rounds. That's probably the hardest part for J to take- his last robotics match and he didn't do his best. Glad hub was here, I couldn't talk to J without crying. It's really hard to see your big strong son in tears. The 2 girls on the team he has known the longest were looking at him helplessly. I'll try to be silly later.

Well, The Wall is finished her tournaments.

Congrats to the girls! AND the boys!! K, I know how disappointing it is for them, but they came so far!! I hope they're proud of what they accomplished :)

Hi My Dear Psillies,

Finally got through most of my testing. Think I mentioned I'm in the watch and wait stage of the CLL. Back is a major issue (scoliosis and curvature) plus rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis (in addition to Celiac),

I'm writing to let you knpw I'll be offline until the weekend My son is coming home to look for a summer job and is bringing two friends (who date each other) They'll be staying in my study (hip parents are letting them stay together). I did want to share this hysterical poem with you that I had my PCP make me a photocopy of:.

I'll miss you all but be back by Sunday.

You know.. chinchillas are amazingly brave. If you are sure your dogs won't do the 'bite shake' thing, they might really enjoy each other. Chilli is very social and I think he would love a puppy if we could do it...but we can't get a dog. (sigh.. :rolleyes: someday, I hope) If you rescue one, try to get one that is young or very people trusting. If they are too old and half wild they are more nervous and it takes a lot longer to get them people friendly(which isn't that good for introducing dog friends too... but by all means, all chinchillas are cute). They are so neat!

My silly lab has finally given up, after 2 years, making friends with the squirrels. He would walk out, nose down, tail wagging. The rude creatures would run away.

      @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!
