Are you sure that she actually needs to return to the outside pen? Sounds like she's making herself at home.

Can you litter-box train a chicken? :huh:

M & Hub are going to Northern Minnesota, crossing into Canada, to go canoeing & camping. No cell phone coverage for the 5 days. They might not see anyone else the whole time. :blink:

I KNEW you were coming to help me move! Your only 4 hours away. Everything's almost packed up. You'll have to share the airbed with my In-laws though. :ph34r::lol:

On a good note the in-laws have decided to come the week AFTER we move instead. Yay! :D My husband was great. He called them and was VERY clear about where they would have to sleep if they got here the day before we move. He also told them we have plenty of help which was a big a factor in them changing their plans too. It turns out they feel bad because they have never helped us move before and they thought we were doing this alone. They really thought they were being helpful by coming during the move. They've never visited us while we lived in the city however and I think we made it clear that if they came AFTER the move we could relax, go to the beach have some fun, etc and it would be more like a vacation for them. The food situation is still a little stressful but I think I can deal now. MIL is still not understanding why she can't buy groceries when she gets here. I think a few more calls from hubby are going to be needed to straighten her out. Fortunately he is backing me on this 100% and is going to make sure there is no gluten or dairy brought in.

LOL! I actually have TWO places I trust to eat out: Red Robin and Five Guys. So we will take them to those places at least. Although the last time I went to Five Guys they couldn't do the lettuce wrapped burger because they only had shredded lettuce. They gave me a plain burger patty with shredded lettuce wrapped in foil. It was sort of a mess to eat, so we might skip that place. Although at least I didn't get cc'd. We also bought a grill so hopefully we can grill a lot of "normal" food.

Tomorrow is the big Cheese Day festival in my home town. Was planning to run in the 'Cheddar Challange' but I buggered up my foot yesterday and can barely walk today :rolleyes: We shall go to the parade and see countless log trucks, tractors, horses and pigs. The kids will fight in the streets over the label-less candy that they won't be able to eat and they we'll take them to get tatt'd up just like the rest of the folk in Toledo WA-at least theirs will be temporary...

I shall try to take a lot of pictures :P

Because the world needs to know this......

Chickies are back in pen. Chicken litter swept out of house. Spent a while watching them yesterday to make sure Mulberry wasn't going to get picked on. It's quite a bit of fun. :) Read today on Backyard Chickens about putting a bug zapper in the pen so chickies have fresh barbecue in the morning. I think I'm gonna try this.

So my mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. She had alot of fluid retention in her legs. She probably waited too long to tell the doc. This is a different hospital then she was in before. She is supposed to be on a low fat low sodium diet. In the previous hospital that would have meant they wouldn't give her a pack of salt. When I called to order her dinner, they told me she couldn't have some things because of her diet. All Hell will break loose when she realizes she can't have a hamburger for lunch tomorrow!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand.

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
