Came home from BE's house, spent the morning planting things, realized I left something at his house (my quinoa salad - he'd never eat it) so went back. Spent a couple hours helping him weedwack his lawn, came home to discover that the chickens have totally rearranged everything I planted (digging) and ate my pea starts. :o

I'm not terribly concerned about the peas because I think I'll have plenty, but now I'll have mystery plants coming up all over, depending on where the seeds got kicked.

Maybe your kids need babysitting? Too young to leave alone?

You really expect us to believe you spent hours weedwacking the lawn?

"MAX!" I said!

"Sorry, when yer balls shiver??"

"MAX!!" me again.

It is a sad day here. I'll let Jacquie explain.

It was with a very heavy heart but we made the right decision and put Tuppence down this afternoon :(

Our dear sweet little girl came to us almost 9 years ago. She was found by 2 police officers on a hot June day. They were having trouble getting in touch with Animal Control, with it being a Saturday afternoon, so I volunteered to take her up to the emergency vet clinic. The only reason they let me do this was because of the business that my husband and I own.

I had no intention of keeping her but you know you're going to when you start thinking of a name for her. Tuppence's full name was Tuppence Cowley. She was named after a character from Agatha Christie.

Tuppence came to us at 3 months of age. She was severally dehydrated and injured. She had a broken hip and the opposite hind leg was dislocated. All feeling from the vets she saw was that she'd been hit by a car.

The biggest problem that our dear little Tortie had was a tendency to get constipated and this was what caused us to put her down. Her body just had enough of the straining. When the vet gave her a heavy dose of pain meds she was at peace with her body for the first time in 3 weeks. We knew we did the right thing.

So R.I.P. Tuppence. You've now passed over the Rainbow Bridge and will be pain free. Tuppence will now be with Thomas and Max.

Tuppence. March 2002-June 2011.

So sorry about Tppence, Peter and Jacquie. I am sure she was much loved in the 9 years she was gifted to you.

So sorry Peter. I know how much you and Jacquie love your sweet balls of fur, and I have the greatest respect for you for choosing what you felt was best for her, even if you don't feel it was best for you. :(

Jacquie and POeter, I am so sorry. What a lucky girl she was to have found you, and how lucky you were to have been given her. :)

Peter and Jacquie,

:(:(:(

So sorry to hear about Tuppence. What big hearts you have to take a wee kitteh that came to you in such a manner. I think animals know when they have been rescued such as this. Here's to fond memories of Tuppence and all of our pets who have passed.

      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...

      Is this celiac?

      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!
