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 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

      IBS-D vs Celiac

The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
