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.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.
