I do love reading about your family get togethers laugh.gif

I think they may be on a par with my in laws. ph34r.gif

Crap!, Terry's just discovered he has another sibling (already discovered his aunt was in fact his sister)

This is an older brother who was adopted out - we may get to meet him later in the year. I'm hopeful he may be 'normal' having escaped being dragged up brought up in the same house as Terry and his other 6 siblings.

They drink an awful lot too blink.gif

Really. Always wondered how happy a poor little bird is in a box with other birds?

Shall write a murder mystery based on my in- laws one day. Just afraid I'll get sued or arrested.

My kids aunt is also their Grandma! So her kids, which were younger than my kids, are thier aunts, too (Until they disappeared.) But we knew that all along.

I have a friend that was adopted when she was 4. She knows she had some older sibs. She has no desire to find them, ever! She's afraid they will be awful and want monsy!

My MIL can drive the getaway car... . . . ..

My maternal grandfather lived a good part of his life before he discovered that his sister was really his mother. This sort of thing happened a lot more frequently three generations ago, when a pregnant sixteen-year old was routinely hidden away and then the pretending began.. . . . ...

A serious question (can you imagine? HERE??): Have any of you done any exploring on Ancestry.ca? It is expensive to join, but I find myself very tempted at times, as we know nothing about this grandfather's paternal heritage -- seemingly a teenaged boy who left town right quickly.... . . but there may be info somewhere if I plug in his sister/mother's name, and the small town near Toronto where he was born. . . . .....

Mysteries, mysteries... . ....

Crap.....imagine what we might all discover if we really started digging into our ancestral past? :unsure::unsure:. . . ......Ignorance can be bliss. . . . .. . ...

My son uses Ancestry.com. Is that what you mean? I think he's pretty happy with it.

I've done some ancestry stuff, but it gives me a headache. I know that I'm a 4th generation product of the Hatfield and McCoy 'union' My great grandma is in a book that was written about it. All my Canadian relatives we've only dated back to the early-mid 1800's, but I don't know any of their stories. Both sides of my family came from Scotland and Ireland. That's all I know :rolleyes:

Blimey, they missed out a whole lot of stupphh. Didn't even mention cobber (mate) or "I'll give you a bell" (will phone you). no worries (kinda translates to "You're welcome", sweet as - roughly translates as "perfect" or "spot on". No worries, I'll give you a bell and everything will be sweet as :P

I probably said way too much. After intensive snooping, I found out that they went on to a better place. The better place does not have Pearly Gates, just normal cow pasture gates.

We know my mom's great grandpas came from Germany right before the civil war. They fought for the north. There wives came over around that time. My Dad's moms side is shanty Irish Catholics. His dad side is harder to know as they didn't like him marrying a shanty Irish girl. We do know he appears to have a common ancestor with Buffalo Bill. Appears to have been his illegitimate first cousin.

So, I was sitting in the house near the sliding door this afternoon, when I heard a loud racket coming from outside at the back. As most of you know, we have a large walk-out deck behind the house. It was a pounding noise, coming from the deck. I looked out and this is what I saw:

That's a Open Original Shared Link, pounding on the railing.

It seems that a Open Original Shared Link had made her nest there, and the woodpecker found it. Here is the through-and-through damage to the railing. The arrow marks where you can see right through:

So sorry abotu your (son?). I hope they will figure it all out soon. Does he have celiac? The bloody stool thing happens to me when I get a large amount of gluten cc, and back in the day when I was in college I bled out of my ears the mornings after I drank beer. I stopped drinking for the most part before I even turned 21 because I got so sick from just one drink.

He had the genetic testing for celiac last year and was negative. The doctor (rheumatologist he saw re lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) thinks it was a hemorrhoid. He has a follow up visit next week. if it's not better he'll send him to a GI. It's going to be the practice I left because of the A hole doctor but he'd see a different doctor in the practice. Today he went to PT and his therapist thinks he might need surgery on his ankle. Tony says he refuses to do it and because he's 19 we can't force him. I'll let Clark handle this one. My main concern (other than wanting him well and his therapist is concerned it will continue to deteriorate) is that it's done while we have insurance.

Speaking of that Clark has an interview tomorrow so please say some prayers and have everything crossed (eyes included)!

Had a LOVELY visit with my girlfriend. I'm over my bad sunburn and can handle the beach if I go early, use a high sun screen and only stay for an hour. It's also less crowed then. So we went to the beach and then took a ride to the wealthy (hoity toity) part of Westerly (Watch Hill) and window shopped.

Still wish we could teleport for a big CLL Psilly Forum party! Looking forward to seeing anyone near DC when I attend a conference with Rob in the fall (if he can go).

Love,

Loey wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Thanks for the update Loey! I hope he sees another dr that can help. If he has Lupus or RA I've heard a small percentage of people find a gluten-free diet to help relieve their symptoms. So maybe you could suggest it, but sounds like he's a typical stubborn teen. I'll pray for his health and for Clark's interview.

Thanks dear lady (and all other well wishing psillies)!

Clark phoned and said he thinks that the interview went well. I'll get more details when he gets home (it's about an our and a half commute). Tony is still bleeding and will see the !@#hole GI I left tomorrow (it's the only appointment we could get). Clark is taking him because I don't want to have to see his face. I will probably want a second opinion from my GI but our PCP is on vacation and I need a referral to see the good doctor. The one he's seeing did the DNA testing so Tony's already his patient - hence taking him quickly. Just trying to stay positive. I've gotten good about staying positive about Clark and myself but the thought of Tony needing a colonoscopy (and bleeding rectally) throws me into s(mother) mode and scares me.

Sorry for complaining. I know this thread is not for that. I hope you all know I appreciate each and every one of your psilly souls!

Lots of love wub.gifwub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

      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.

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!
