Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for.

Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

What a bunch of ARSE crackers (except the pediatrician)! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Goosey- That whale bone vertebrae sounds SO cool!

From past experiences with Olympic venues (Salt Lake City): Because these are so popular, you can probably get them after the Olympics. For at least 1 year before and 3 years after, you could get SLC Olympic stuff at gift stores. I think the mittens were made for charity to pay for the Olympics. We were at Whistler last year & got our Olympic shirts. Going to be in Tahoe area this year & at Squaw which had Olympics in 196? & they still have Olympic stuff.

I baked yesterday, I experimented with gluten-free, vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan chocolate/espresso frosting......Wholly sh!t, they were AMAZING!!!! I didn't know vegan could taste like that! They were in no way psilly ;)

Let it rip. I won't tell anyone, and you can blame the dog/child/husband or anybody else who happens to be in the room. :ph34r:

Thanks for your support!! :lol:

Finally found the Burly Robed Messenger's Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. Just made some for lunch as I still have a headache (may be gluten withdrawl). Loved it! Its a cross between Cream of Wh#@t & Oatmeal, 2 of my old favorites. On to the chocolate as it replaces the endorphins my brain is supposedly missing.

OK, next time, add a pkt of hot cocoa mix to the cereal while you're cooking it......WOWZA!

Funny to be around Deaf people who think you can't hear them fart :lol:

If it's so cold you can see your breath and you fart outside, does a puff of 'smoke' appear near your bum???

Skeeter update . . . testing that was done by the arse GI came back clean . . . had to find out through my pediatrician though. Pediatrician contacted the arse allergist that we saw over two years ago about what he check her for. I don't know if you remember this, but he could tell by looking at her that he only needed to check her for environmental allergens. He also told me to challenge the celiac disease diagnosis because . . . wait for it . . . "the diet is too hard" . . . ummm, yeah, that's the reason you should challenge the diagnosis. Anyway, pediatrician is ramping up to order some diagnostics so we can light a fire under the appropriate specialists. I like her . . . she's very much of an "I'm in it with you" kind of person.

Pseriously?? I know we've been obscenely lucky with our doctors for the kids, however, I work with some of the arse-crackers. Tis very unfortunate that there are so many of them!!

I'm headed up there in a month or 2, if you don't git yer mittens, let me know and I'll see if I can rip some off. I'm sure if I say "please" they'll just hand 'em over. I LURVE Canadians!!

Olympic mittens have been plentiful around here, and they're only nine bucks. Ours say "Canada" on one side with a maple leaf, and the five rings on the outside. I stood looking at them not long ago, and put them back after I checked the label and it said, of course, Made in China. Dunno, just seemed kind of. . ..... . .dumb, er sumfin'. . . . ....:rolleyes:

Although I suppose if they were made over here they would be twenty bucks. . . . . .. ..

Patteigh! You left a cup o' pee at the lab? Precisely a cup? They needed eight ounces exactly? Did you pee in a measuring cup? :rolleyes: Actually, a cup is a whole lotta urine to be handing over. I usually put the li'l plastic container underneath mid-stream for a second only, and hand them that - - about an ounce, likely.

Isn't that fascinating? <_<:lol:

But that big orange jug - - man, that's a whole other ball game. . . . . .....

AND: WHY oh WHY do women not have access to very wide, shallow containers?? We are given a skinny, long container, not a problem for men, nice and neat.. .. .......us women...bah. Infuriating.

I didn't mean it literally, Em! :lol: I used the lil cup they handed me.....no wheres near an 8 ounce capacity which made it a pain to maneuver. Managed to get an ounce or two in there--that better be enough. :unsure:

I'm sporting a cute purple smiley phace stretchy bandage around me arm B)

Aren't ya all just so happy to know all that??? :P

Count down to the disco pah-tay tomorrow night. Friends are stashed in secret locations and I have the most obnoxious ABBA inspired outfit ever (with huge hoop earrings and a feather boa). The waiting is killing me! Senor K. knows something is up but not what. Asking for hints. I told him the only thing I can guarantee is that he will hear "Dancing Queen" at least once tomorrow night. :lol:

Skeeter looks at everything to see where it's made. Skeeter quote . . . "We need to go to China. They have everything there."

Skeeter's going in for another blood draw tomorrow . . . major allergy testing . . . I think it's gonna cost me some bigtime dollars (stupid insurance deductible) but I need some answers and if I get some, then it's worth it.

Bevel, looking forward to a review and pics of the par-tay. Ummmm . . . :unsure: . . . I still haven't received my invitation in the mail.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
