So cute!

Years ago, our zoo had a little building with a climbable rock wall inside. It waas caged. They tried to keep about 10 chinchillas in it. You had to go in the double doors & close them quickly because you can't keep a chinchilla in a regular caging material. They would run around in the building. J was about 1 1/2 & in a little stroller. The chinchillas kept runnning up and grabbing his shoelaces & chewing the end of the diaper bag strap. Some parents were horrified that the kids would get bit & ran out. We had the best time. :P

They won't bite... unless you roll in raisins first... then they mistake your finger for a raisin. Which brings up a gluten question (anybody else got hideously dry skin)...oh, wrong thread.. ;):huh:

Think that guy has a hoarding issue?

The zoo wasn't quite that bad. Once the screaming parents got out, there were alot of the little buggers. J didn't want to go to another part of the zoo but we had to exercise the Red Kangaroos. They liked to jump over baby strollers or be chased by little kids. They would wait until he could catch up then hop a couple of hops away.

Dry skin - Try Cerave cream. gluten-free last time I checked.

Dang, wish I had some bandwidth left this month to watch those videos :( Yeah, our broadband stinks Have to conserve it so we don't revert to dial-up. :ph34r:

Your Majesty, Qween Emily, I just saw the most fantastic thing last night, a royal accountrement that should be part of your kkweenliness. T'was in a dream, we wuz in London, and Her Majesty Kween Elizabeth II came by, floating as it were on a Royal Carpet. T'was a magnificent sight with her majesty smiling and graceful and her carpet transporting her elegantly above all the sludge and filth below, just hovering above the ground, floating over ponds and rivers and lifting her up if anything impeded her path. Kept her away from the riff-raff too. Don't you think this would make a fine addition to your inventory of Kweenly tatt, like besmirched robes, jewel-missing crowns, and slightly bent scepters?

Yes, absolutely, a Royal Magic Carpet would be something I could use. Perhaps with a little carpet behind, for the jester. Do these things run on gas? I need to know how much an 8x10 berber gets to the imperial gallon as I would be submitting these receipts as part of my travel expense package.....

I am SO excited for The Ripper. Next week begins the five-night run of his school musical. He is in the chorus, but he's been bumped to the front line as his dancing prowess was quickly noted.

He has been in rehersals every school night until 5:30 pm since mid-January, and it promises to be a terrific, professional show. Yesterday they ran through the entire production wearing all costumes and make-up. He came home, walked into the kitchen, and when I looked at him I thought, "now THERE'S my show kid!" He still had all his make-up on -- full foundation, blush, heavy black eyeliner and his hair slicked back a la Cary Grant. He was so proud of himself. . ...with a huge smile he proclaimed, "I came home on the BUS like this!"

      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!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      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.
    • trents
      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.
