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:

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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
