Amanda!!! You should know by now that we don't scare easily!!! We've all got family stories we could share . . . some might be immediate family, some might be extended or in-laws or extended in-laws :P . We currently are not too bad right now in my family . . . but don't ever lend my brother money . . . every one of us learned the lesson, the hard way.

We went up to J's sister's place this afternoon and saw the new PBGV puppies. Pictures on FB for those who are interested.

WIH does PBGV mean?

Pygmy Beagle/Giant Vizsla? . . ..I'm pretty sure I'm close :lol:

Sadly, the smallest/youngest did not make it through the night. He had been struggling all along.

:(

Amanda, not at all--You didn't scare me off, I just haven't been around here as much. Like Jan-it said, I'm sure many of us have "family situations", so we really do understand. My heart goes out to little Silvia--that's so very sad.

One thing I've learned (sometimes the hard way) is that we can't change anyone, but only our own reactions and how we relate to them.

On another, kinda dopey note....I couldn't find the bedroom TV remote yesterday, for the life of me. When we pulled down the covers to go to bed last night, there it was--I had made the bed right over it :blink:

Bunnie poop-in!!! I's been MIA, I's a bad girl.

Manda, my sister is a trollop who's evil and has the world's biggest mood swings. She went from all organic no gluten to McDonald's for ABSOUTELY no reason, just because she didn't feel like it anymore. The kids look terrible, and boy are they confused. I know how you feel.

Dat's all I caught up on, and the wedding YAY Lisa! How wonderful.....

I bought new sheets and I'm PMSing. That's all I got about me.

Awwwwww Judy . . . I'm sorry . . . I didn't know that your kitty wasn't going to make the move with you. I hope he finds a new home quick, though, so that you know that he's all settled in.

Judith, I'm so very sorry :( He is a beautiful kitty and I just know that someone kind is going to scoop him up. I can only imagine how hard this is for you.

So sorry Judes. Passing on a friend is so hard.

Max is really sick. He apparently ingested some sort of poison that's causing hemolytic anemia. I'm just trying to keep him fed and hydrated and hope for the best. If his crit drops much lower he may end up with a transfusion. :(

Morning Sillies-

Sending prayers to Max--sorry to hear about him :(

Today is going to be chaotic- I entered 3 baking contests at the fair- 1 PB fudge, 1 cupcake and 1 cake---both of which are gluten-free Keep your fingers crossed :):):)

Sad kitteh stuff 'round here. .. . . ...... :(:(

So sorry about Max, Jyess. You are so good with your cats, he's lucky to have you as an owner and caregiver.

Any calls on our Velcro, Jooooode? I would, honestly, take him into my home in a second. Wonder how he'd feel about two huge, energetic sub-standard poodles vying for his attention? :rolleyes:

The Ripper is away at a two-week sleepover camp. It's the first time he's been away so long, and we really hesitated to send him so soon after his grampa's death. Jack has been very quiet since Dad died.....still waters running deep, and all.

But we finally decided that it was the best thing for Jack to do -- get away from here and the lingering sadness, be on a beach with lots of other kids, swimming, canoeing, hiking, horseback-riding.... . . . ...but I do miss him.

I sent him my first letter the day before he left. :huh::rolleyes:

Yes, such sad kitteh situations :( Thinkin about wee Max and Velcro.......

Em, I think it's a very good idea for Jack to go to his camp. Time out in nature with friends and kids his age sounds perfect right now. :) How is Sophie doing?

Oh Judy- He's stunning- my dad would have taken him in a second. I bet you someone like my dad will scoop him up and he will be King of the Castle. But I'm sure you must be so sad. ((((HUGS))))))

Ditto here- get better Max!

Em- The Ripper will have a GREAT time at camp- bet it will get his mind off everything.

      Diagnosis confusion

      By Hummer01 · Posted

      Hi all, I've been experiencing some new chronic GI issues for about 2 years now and was leaning towards celiac being the answer, but now feeling very lost after a confusing diagnosis process.  My symptoms have included things like severe bloating, diarrhea, mucus, abnormal colored stool, worsened depression/anxiety, etc.  I had a very borderline TTG-IgA result (4 where <4 negative) last year while on a low-gluten diet. This year after a gluten challenge, I had a negative TTG-IgA but a positive EMA (1:160 where <1:10 negative). The EMA was not run last year so I don't have a comparison for that. I am not IgA deficient. The other panel tests were negative in both cases.  At the beginning of the year I had the scope done while on the reduced-gluten diet (with a short gluten challenge) and nothing was found to suggest celiac.  I had the scope repeated this month after the longer gluten challenge that also yielded the EMA result. The doctor stated that my duodenum was "drastically different" than the first scope and that "gluten is clearly doing something to me." She also said that she believed the pathology would come back positive.  I just received the pathology report with the doctor's comments, and it shows "findings not consistent with celiac disease" and that she believes I may have NCGS. My understanding is that NCGS wouldn't cause a positive blood result or damage to my small intestine though. Just feeling so defeated and confused now, and would really appreciate thoughts from anyone here. Thank you for your time reading all of this!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!
