Donnatal is a combination of active ingredients. I was on it for a while for my "irritable bowel" in my early twenties. It has atropine (belladonna), phenobarbital and other ingredients. Like Immodium, it may help ease the symptoms of celiac disease, but does nothing to address the underlying problem.

Thanks Peter. Stopped taking it for now in case it was making me dizzy ad caused some of the falls. Levsinon gave me the runs.

Will be back online tomorrow morning for a bit. Miss my psillies!!!!!!

G'mornin' all. Met wif my new calculus tutor yesterday and he's perfect, as I expected (a grad student who was my instructor for matrix algebra).

Going out w' BE tonight, and we're going to a friend's open house on Sunday, so he'll meet some of my theater friends. Still finding out fun things about him. I invited him to go to see the Picasso exhibit that's touring here and he agreed. I thanked him for doing that, thinking he was indulging me in my silly art tendencies, and he told me that his mom's and artist and he minored in art in school. He then proceeded to tell me about taking his kids to Europe and making them go to all the big museums. :)

It's really nice when the new stuff you learn about people is more than you expected to have in common. :)

I took me a mental health day on Wednesday! Went for a really long walk in the sunshine, cleaned out all of the summer veggies from the garden and took a really long nap! Spent yesterday morning wif my BFF and the afternoon cuddling wif the little one watching movies :wub: Then the evening a nervous wreck watching the older one trying to perfect her front handsprings for an hour waiting for her to break sumphin :huh: Made a yumm-o veggie soup and enjoyed a nice hot cocoa after my run! Twas a very nice 2 day vacation :)

Hope you had a phab-oo day yesterday!! I float tomorrow. Had a panic attack thinking about it last night. Will have to do some pserious deep breathing exercises to get me into that coffin tank!

When I would "force" the boys to go to art galleries, we would play a game. Count the horses and dogs or all animals they see. When they were a little older (8 & 11) we went to the Hirschorn modern art at the Smithsonian. They complained at the first statue outside. Told them they were to count the naked people in the statues and paintings. How many male & how many female. Had a great time. Found about 90 females and 12 males. Cracked up at how the only way you could tell some were a person was they had boobs. :)

That's heeelarious!! You're such an awesome mom!

My older son loves that sort of thing (museums). We took the kids to The Smithsonian when they were younger and they really enjoyed it. When we lived nearer to Philadelphia, we liked to go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Such a huge place, it takes a number of visits to see it all.

Got People's Court on. It's hysterical! A guy hired another to cut down brush and haul off junk. Paid the junk man $2000 up front. The junk man wanted his last $1000 before he finished. The guy wouldn't pay him until he finished. The junk man brought " suitable garbage" back from another job and dumped it on the property.

Hmmm.. . .. .during the last significant visit I made to the National Gallery of Canada, I ended up having to bring a margarine container in with me to collect my urine should I have needed to go. I had started my annual 24-hour urine collection that morning, forgetting I had volunteered to do this school field trip. So, did I throw out the partial collection of urine when I realized where I was going to be all afternoon? No. Decided to live on the wild side -- or the ridiculous side -- and keep going.

Did I collect urine while in the gallery? Yes.

Did security ask me what I was carefully holding as I tried to nonchalantly follow the children out through the atrium doors? Yup.

It was, uh...... . . . .. ....well, quite a field trip... . . . ..I think it was quite something for the two security guards that listened as I told them that my plastic container had urine in it. The funniest part was how I had to tell them whose it was -- mine -- and then it seemed okay. "Oh, so it's your OWN urine. Very good - - carry on......have a nice day".. .. . ..

:lol:

He said it was garbage of a similar sort that he had originally taken off the property! He said that the junk man's code says that if they aren't paid, he can dump up to 3 times the waste they cleared, back onto the cleared property. He has a warrant out for his arrest for illegal dumping!

I'm Baaaack!!! Missed my psilly pfriends!!!! Had a phab time with my girlfriends. Spent a wee bit too much money considering I don't know how much longer UI is lasting and if I'll be able to get disability. I should be able to at this point. What I really want is to get well and get a job!!!! I bought little things for the most part (XMAS gifts and psilly things for my son's mid-term goody bag that I'll bring him tomorrow (a gorilla pfinger puppet in honor of Karennng, a floating eyeball, a sparkle thing that lights up when you turn on a switch, a brown bear eraser/sharpener - brown bear is his college mascot- and of course about 4 pounds of leftover halloween candy). He better share the candy or he'll be a walking zit!!!!

I took my girlfriends to Westerly yesterday (where I live) because the weather was horrible and I wanted them to see Mystic Seaport when it wasn't a cold steady downpour. One of my friends is a newlywed and the other is getting married next October. Evidently her sister was a b!@#$ when she went shopping for dresses with her. We happened to find a wedding shop in downtown Westerly and they were amazing. They spent two hours with us. I think my girlfriend found her gown there (or at least narrowed it down to 2). She might just have to come back up to visit me with her mother. She was beaming and my other friend and I were thrilled that we could help her enjoy the experience. Her fiance is in the National Guard and has already been to Germany and Iraq. We're all praying he won't be shipped out again (or at all) before the wedding. It's hard for her to get too excited because of that. I plan on being well enough to make the trip and Rob said he's come and drive me (he HATES weddings or going to big affairs where he doesn't know anyone).

Today we went to the seaport and walked all day long. A bit hard on my coccyx but I think it was good for me. Seeing them definitely was!!! I dropped them off at the train at about 4:30 and although my hubby says he didn't miss the time we usually spend together I know he really did. I do know he was happy that they came to visit and was a very gracious host.

They also were big help with my getting material from basement to use with the girl I'll be tutoring. That means I can return about $50 worth of books back to Birder's tomorrow.

OK - Multiple replies here:

Rashelle , BE just gets better and better and I couldn't be more thrilled for you! You deserve it!!!!!!!! Dali is one of my favorites (I have two signed and numbered lithographs) and we went to the exhibit in Philly a few years ago. Tony was very nonplussed (he'll learn one of these days). I also love M.C. Escher and SO many others.

Karannng - you're too funny with counting naked people in the paintings. Do you and your children ever discuss it today?

Patti - Philly Museum of Art is where we saw the Dali exhibit. Use to be members when we lived n Jersey.

Elye- you are a real pisser! Did the urine make it out of the museum safely?

Going to make Klark dinner and then watch Ironman with him (we missed Ironman 2 in the theaters so we're watching the first one tonight then we'll watch the second. I have a serious case of the hots for Robert Downey Junior and my son thinks it's gross.

So good to be back! I missed you all!

Was it Levsin? My doc gave me that early on--made me dopey and didn't do a thing for my cramping. Have you tried laying down wif a heating pad?

He gave me that first and it didn't make me dopey but gave me the big D so I stopped taking it. The he gave me Donnatal and i think that was the culprit (It's a mix of belladonna and phenobarbital) because I stopped taking it yesterday and walked around all day yesterday and today with my girlfriends and didn't get dizzy or fall.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Theresa2407
      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
    • Hmart
      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
