Madeleine is running track now. Her biggest problem.... She runs like a girl :huh: Knees nearly together, arms flailing. She looks like Sandra from that show 227...'member that?? :lol::lol: We're trying to teach her to run like a boy, or at least a normal girl but it's not working. She's getting faster, she just doesn't look any better :lol::lol:

Bonus though, her increase in speed landed her a full handstand from a sprint on the vault on Monday. Then I was the dork, I stood up and whooped from the stands. There's a 100 kids out there... Everyone looked at me like I was the fool :rolleyes:

OK, my life is officially material for a sitcom. I have to delay all of my procedures (shots for shoulder and back and removal of lymph node) because I have two blocked aortic arteries and now have to have cardiac catheterization next week possibly followed by immediate angioplasty. I'm actually finding it all rather amusing. I'm calm and trust my doctors. I''m more worried about Clark than me.

Does this all ban me from the psillie thread? Now THAT would break my heart!

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Sounds like you're going in for a complete overhaul, Loweeee!By the time yer done, you'll be good for another hundred thousand miles!

....and don't even THINK that you can get rid of us!

Hi Psilles,

Just a quick note before I head back to bed to let you know that things went well yesterday and the result showed that I have hypertension (treatable with meds). The worst thing about the procedure were 1) it took 4 tries to find a vein (and the IV specialist) and 2) I had to lie on my back for 6 hours (ouch). Now I can reschedule the other procedures. Thanks for all the love and positive energy. Can't wait to get back online regularly and also visit other threads in case all of my illnesses can help anyone else. The psillie thread is my home!!

Hugz,

Indeed, we will. :)

Ya gotta hurry back, here, Low.. . . .. ..there's another addictive thread-on-fire afoot here, and it's being frequented by many a Psilly... . . .. . requiring knowledge of songs and singers, I'm afraid, and I'm much sillier than I am proficient at recalling names. Therefore, I pop over there, struggle, and leave for a while. :lol:

Mulberry, the little silkie, is too small to get up on the shoe box with the big kids and she'll cry pitifully when they're all up there and she can't jump up so I put a tea box next to the shoe box so she can double hop to get up with everyone else. :) :) She also falls off the other side, but that's a whole different issue. :P

Was looking up a recipe on line and this is part of the instructions:

Let the soup cool for a few minutes, then transfer to the blender and carefully blend at high speed until smooth. Do I have to remind you to do this in stages, with the blender's lid firmly held down, and with the weight of your body keeping that thing from flying off and allowing boiling hot mushroom pur

:lol: :lol: Poor boy is exhausted. I left him home alone to sleep. He was already napping on the couch when I left, so I expect he'll be out cold soon. He tends to hog the bed, so I didn't get much sleep last night and I'm looking forward to being out cold shortly.

Wore him out did you?? Hard night, hard day....:lol:

On a more genteel note, the delights of a fall garden. Wandered out in the late sunlight, picked some apples for an apple cobbler, a couple of artichokes, and some hydrgangeas which have faded to a glorious dusky pink/blue/green combination for a bit of decoration. Cold blast of early winter approaching tonight. :( Nevermind. In a couple of weeks we should be getting our roof repairs and our soapstone fireplace repairs, and these damnable aftershocks can quit already!!! :angry:

Heyy Psills - how 're we doing??

I have chickens in my pocket. :ph34r::P :P

Seriously need a picture of them!!

Lots of change is aphoot over 'ere.

Sadly, our (Tel & me) relationship with our youngest son (Devil Child) has completely broken down and he has HAD to move out.

This saddens & troubles me as he is only 16yrs old but simply CANNOT have him threatening me. - the stress was enormous living with his behaviour dry.gif

LOts & lots of stuph has gone on - mostly hideously embarassing for me to admit as I gave birth to him rolleyes.gif but we've finally reached the end of the line.

Our eldest son (22yrs) is also moving out (but under normal circumstance...will be flat sharing with a pal. Bachelor pad!! tongue.gif)

Soooo with just Alzey at home I'm feeling a slight 'empty nest' syndrome.

The upside is with the 2012 Olympics coming I've got 2 empty beds for any psills who wanna come wink.gif!!!!

What else....OH, and Tel's got shingles dry.gif Think stress had a part to play in that tho'

Carry on yooz peeps smile.gif

Gnickkers! I am really sorry to hear about DC. :( It sounds like something that had to happen, however... . . . ...and his moving out will bring positive change to your everyday life, for certain, and this is good. Perhaps it will end up bringing good things his way, as well.. . . ..it can only get better, right? Thinking o' youse.. .. ...:wub:

So, I'VE got first dibs on DC's bed for those sixteen days in 2012... . . . ...

Tel's got shingles on 'is face. .. ....:( .. Jyessss's got chickens in 'er pocket. . . . . . ...:). . . ...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Lkg5 · Posted

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms.  I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free.  Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative.  In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken.  Major mistake!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?

      Is it gluten?

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.
