GFM and my son have something in common. He swells up like a ballon if he eats a mushroom but he hates almost all vegetables and is allergic to most fruit ( so its nothing against you dear Shroomie).

Hugs,

Loey

My throat gets really itchy and I break out in hives if I eat mushrooms. I have to take a benedryl and the next day my face will be puffy so I know I'm still reacting a little. Fortunately I have never had so much swelling from them I have to go to the ER. And the itching always alerts me before it gets to bad. Sorry Mushroom! You just make me itch, but as long as I don't touch you we can be friends. :lol:

Um, so how are you with lye, Manna? Pretty toxic substance actually... . . I'm somewhat surprised that you've ALL not been reacting to me.. .. .

.........Y'know.. .. in an allergy-type way. . .. . . . . . ..

Awesome news K!!!!! It put a nice big smile on face.

I survived surgery but I hurt like !@#$. Back to bed for the ext few days. I'll know the results by the end of this week or early next week. Beware - BTW, my P.S. is longer than this part. Let's face it - I'm a blabber!

Love Loey

P.S. Tony went out to get more gluten free baking products and is making me a surprise after he gets back from Martial Arts. He found out that he's working the late shift every day so he's grumbling. We just tell him "Welcome to the real world!" I don't think it would bother him if he could go to Martial Arts the two weekdays he's been going. The Martial Arts School will still be there i the fall. I told him to stop grumping - that the three of us each have our own set of problems and that we need to be a united family. Evidently Clark had the same conversation with him over lunch (oops). He's an amazing boy but there is so much I would have done differently if I had a do-over (Yes dear Kareng, like the laundry and chores).

It's about 7 weeks of looking at orders and drawings and getting the parts from the warehouse. The company makes parts for forklifts. They wanted to give a kid from the engineering strand at the high schools a summer job. Pays $10.40 per hour so it's better than the frozen yogurt place.

That's a great summer job for high schooler! My first summer job when I was 16 paid $4.75 an hour. I thought that was good pay at the time, LOL! It kept gas in my car anyway and still was enough I could save some. Of course gas was under a dollar a gallon back then. :P

Yup. . .. . there he'd be ordering parts for smoothies and sundaes - - fruit chunks, syrup, nuts. . . . . ...this sounds more like something J will have a vested interest in, although as an 18 year-old I likely could have gotten very interested in surrounding meselph with chocolate syrup and chopped almonds. . .. ... . . . <_<

Good for him! A little spending money and some good insight into how the real engineering world works. More valuable than most people realize.

Optimistically went to home depot and bought garden stuff. We'll see if it stops raining long enough to go outside.

Plants love the rain. Shouldn't be a problem. ;)

I'm so proud! My son is off for his first pre-employment drug test. :blink:

An unusual day today, in many ways.

It was nine years ago, to the day, that we rescued Tuppence. She was near death from serious injuries, and last week lost her battle with complications from those injuries.

Becky, one of the store cats, has been having some issues we thought were related to one of her teeth. Took her to see the vet this afternoon, and she does have a problem tooth, but not the one we thought. It will come out on Monday, but she is on pain meds until then.

With that and it being delivery day, every team member worked today. Jacquie and I opened, C. helped with the delivery, K. covered the afternoon while we went to the vet, and A. closed up for us after school.

A few weeks ago, we had a power outage at home in the evening. We went to Boston Pizza for food, and when we got home the power was back on.

Tonight, after a very hot day, we wanted to have somebody else heat up their kitchen. There was a band of severe thunderstorms moving through the area as we went out. When we got to Boston Pizza, there was a power outage there. We went back home at heated up our kitchen.

I think there may be a warp in the Phorce somewhere.

How'z that?

Peter is just getting the bad stuff over in one week so he doesn't need to worry about it for the rest of the year.

Maybe it is sick pet time. Cooper stepped on something and his pad got infected. They gave him some great pain meds. Apparently, he has a PB deficiency. He must have 4 antibiotics pills a day.

My furs and feathers are all doing well. Wee chickies seem to eat about twice what I expect them to. Always starving when I get home. Cats, of course, are near death from lack of canned food at every occasion. :P

Koopur has a peanut butter deficiency? Poor mutt, his mommie shud fix dat! Just don't give him any of those Nutter Butter peanut butter cookies. I gave one to Corey (sheltie) once years ago and his whole face swelled up on the right side the same day. Had to have a tooth extracted. He sure liked them tho.

Peter is just keeping the vets on their toes.

I put the PB on the pills so he will take them. Tried to put these "gelcaps" in a piece of cooked burger. He carefull spit the pill out. & licked it. We imagined he was thinking "Good burger. Just whatch out for the wierd hard bits".

It's one of those rare mornings in the NW that remind us why we live here. :) Went out and pulled a few weeds while fantasizing about just skipping work for the day. Now I'm back in scarfing brekky so's I can scurry out the door early enough for a walk before the bus.

My MaggieDog could find the medication in anything . . . She even learned to do the swallow-gulp trick to make me think she swallowed it (you know, while you are holding the snout closed and stroking the throat). Then she would walk away and spit it out. These were tiny thyroid pills for Pete Sawyer's sake!! I would find pills and not know if it was today's, yesterday's or last weeks.

The best bet was to take half a ritz cracker, cover with a gob of peanut butter and put the pill in the PB. Then stick the whole thing to the roof of her mouth.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
