Came home from BE's house, spent the morning planting things, realized I left something at his house (my quinoa salad - he'd never eat it) so went back. Spent a couple hours helping him weedwack his lawn, came home to discover that the chickens have totally rearranged everything I planted (digging) and ate my pea starts. :o

I'm not terribly concerned about the peas because I think I'll have plenty, but now I'll have mystery plants coming up all over, depending on where the seeds got kicked.

Maybe your kids need babysitting? Too young to leave alone?

You really expect us to believe you spent hours weedwacking the lawn?

Max asked, "Is that when yer nuts shiver?"

"MAX!" I said!

It is a sad day here. I'll let Jacquie explain.

It was with a very heavy heart but we made the right decision and put Tuppence down this afternoon :(

Our dear sweet little girl came to us almost 9 years ago. She was found by 2 police officers on a hot June day. They were having trouble getting in touch with Animal Control, with it being a Saturday afternoon, so I volunteered to take her up to the emergency vet clinic. The only reason they let me do this was because of the business that my husband and I own.

I had no intention of keeping her but you know you're going to when you start thinking of a name for her. Tuppence's full name was Tuppence Cowley. She was named after a character from Agatha Christie.

Tuppence came to us at 3 months of age. She was severally dehydrated and injured. She had a broken hip and the opposite hind leg was dislocated. All feeling from the vets she saw was that she'd been hit by a car.

The biggest problem that our dear little Tortie had was a tendency to get constipated and this was what caused us to put her down. Her body just had enough of the straining. When the vet gave her a heavy dose of pain meds she was at peace with her body for the first time in 3 weeks. We knew we did the right thing.

So R.I.P. Tuppence. You've now passed over the Rainbow Bridge and will be pain free. Tuppence will now be with Thomas and Max.

Tuppence. March 2002-June 2011.

So sorry about Tppence, Peter and Jacquie. I am sure she was much loved in the 9 years she was gifted to you.

So sorry Peter. I know how much you and Jacquie love your sweet balls of fur, and I have the greatest respect for you for choosing what you felt was best for her, even if you don't feel it was best for you. :(

Jacquie and POeter, I am so sorry. What a lucky girl she was to have found you, and how lucky you were to have been given her. :)

Peter and Jacquie,

:(:(:(

So sorry to hear about Tuppence. What big hearts you have to take a wee kitteh that came to you in such a manner. I think animals know when they have been rescued such as this. Here's to fond memories of Tuppence and all of our pets who have passed.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest...

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!

      Have I got coeliac disease

      And I agree with Wheatwacked. When a physician tells you that you can't have celiac disease because you're not losing weight, you can be certain that doctor is operating on a dated understanding of celiac disease. I assume you are in the UK by the way you spelled "coeliac". So, I'm not sure what your options are when it comes to healthcare, but I might suggest you look for another physician who is more up to date in this area and is willing to work with you to get an accurate diagnosis. If, in fact, you do not have celiac disease but you know that gluten causes you problems, you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). There is no test available yet for NCGS. Celiac must first be ruled out. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. NCGS we is not autoimmune and we know less about it's true nature. But we do know it is considerably more common than celiac disease.
