Probably. I know her cardiologist. I can make a low sodium less fat burger.

Just a heads up incase you all hear about a hospital explosion in KC.

What a little champion!! Hope he learns to do it when the sun comes up (and NOT before) :P Of course, the hours you keep that probably doesn't make much difference :rolleyes:

Hey Psilies! Mulberry IS one adorable chicken.

I'm just stopping by quickly as I'm in the midst of preparing for my move next week. Just needed to blow off some steam! What is it with utility companies trying to up the bills when you move? All I want to do is transfer everything to the new address without a rate increase. I understand there may be disconenct or connection fees but I'm moving within the same city. My monthly rate should stay the same. My internet company rep pissed me off when they said the rates for the same service would be going up by $10 a month for my new location. I happen to live in an area that has more than one internet company and I knew the competition was offering a lower rate so I told them I would be going with the other company then and to cancel! Argh!! I'm still so mad! I was really hoping that when I said I wanted to cancel they would offer me a better rate (they are offering a lower rate for people signing up online right now and I even pointed that out) or let me keep my same rate. That has always happened in the past when I threaten to cancel a service. But she just said, "sorry to see you go" and gave me a cancelation number. Now I'm going to have to either sign up with the other company or re-sign up online with my same company at the new address to get the discounted rate. Why do they have to make everything so complicated? Ugh, ugh, ugh. Gotta go try to get a hold of the water company for the new place next. I sat on hold with the "we are experiencing a high volume of calls, your call will be answered in the order it was recieved...blah...blah..blah" message for about 30 minutes and then gave up and decided to try later. Wish I could just do the water online but I can't find anyway to do that on the website.

So if y'all don't hear from me for a while It's probably because we don't have internet at the new place and I'm too busy hauling water from the river and boiling it for drinking. :lol:

So my mom is in the hospital. She'll be fine. She had alot of fluid retention in her legs. She probably waited too long to tell the doc. This is a different hospital then she was in before. She is supposed to be on a low fat low sodium diet. In the previous hospital that would have meant they wouldn't give her a pack of salt. When I called to order her dinner, they told me she couldn't have some things because of her diet. All Hell will break loose when she realizes she can't have a hamburger for lunch tomorrow!

:ph34r:

Sorry to hear your mom was in the hospital! I hope you were able to smuggle a burger into her to prevent hell from breaking loose. If not, maybe that's why I'm having such trouble with the utility companies? :lol:

She was actually happy with the lunch after all. She had either salmon or tilapia and it was good!

Perhaps you can send smoke signals? Is there a Celiac forum using smoke signals?

You'll have to get a grill for smoke signals!

Wow! Maybe I just need your mom to call my utility companies for me and threaten to break hell loose on them. :lol: Glad it went well and hope she's feeling better now. I think lighting fires for a smoke signal may be against the HOA rules at the new place. :ph34r: Would also be hard for you to see since we are getting lots of smoke here already from the wild fires in North Carolina. :blink: Maybe I should invest in carrier pigeons or something?

Oh, excellent idea! Does Mulberry fly? My handwriting IS like chickscratch so if she's not up to flying I can just mail my posts for her to peck out on the computer. :lol:

Mulberry does not fly. You need actual feathers for liftoff.....

Well, Whewwwwwwwwwwww....... . . ...((((((((((groaning and falling on hotel bed)))))))))... . . . . ...

We've seen Abe, Ben, Thomas J., JFK and Jackie, Holocaust survivors, snipers on Obama's roof......

Youse Yanks really know how to put together a national capitol. 'Tis magnificent: regal, clean, welcoming, bustling.......it is important for all to see this city, methinks. :)

Now everyone must come north and check out Canada's city of government........Tag! You're all it!

I wish we could have organized a Psilly Psummit........:(.....next time, and when I'm a little further south.....or west?... . . . ...

I've been there! I liked it, mostly because my northern relatives fed me junk food, but that was also where I learned to not take my mother to a museum and expect her to leave a room without reading aaalllll the words. Second grade, so it's been a while.

And that is an adorable chicken, for the nth time.

First rainy day with the wee chickies in their new pen. Those adorable feathered feet turn into little balls of mud. :o:lol:

Sweetie-pie is on vacation and I won't be seeing him for three weeks (the longest time ever not seeing each other!).

I was thinking this was a good thing because he's not the most expressive guy around, and if he really wasn't thrilled with me, this would give him a chance to figure it out. He just called to say how much fun he wasn't having and how much better everything would be if I were there.... :) Guess it's all ok... :)

Forgot to tell ya'll this : On the rare occasion where we find ourselves at a restaurant for a family dinner, I now always order my chicken filet as "my usual civckeb and rice".

I now have the kids referring to chickens as civckebs, as well. :lol:

I believe it is giving both Sophie and Jack some real street cred.

At the rate of posting on this thread, I am settling in for a good long reign. I am thinking about taxing the peasants.

Hey....I got a kid going to an out- of -state college! Subjects buying fancy chickens and vacations on foreign countries!

Hey all . . . I'm back from North Carolina . . . what happened? Did all hell break loose because apparently it's hotter 'n hell here and no rain. Two trees that were transferred last fall died while we were gone. OK, they were in the process of dying when we left but I couldn't believe how quick they completely browned in the last 9 days. Problee gonna have to do sumptin 'bout that.

We got home about 6 (after driving 9.5 hours) . . . then went to the 7:10 showing of Harry Potter.

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      @MagsM, It concerns me that your physicians seem to be preoccupied with the concept of "classic celiac disease".  That suggests to me their knowledge of celiac disease may be dated and they don't have a concept yet for the "silent celiac" who doesn't manifest with classic GI symptoms.

      I have copied in a summary of my latest bloodwork from ChatGPT below. My GP will not refer for any further investigation and given that I do not have gastric distress symptoms it doe seem that I do not have classic Celiac but may have some malabsorption issues. I am now considering just going forward with a gluten free regimen and tracking symptoms. I will see the Consultant Otolaryngologist tomorrow and will share these results. I have already ordered the B-Complex and Benfotiamine and will start that regimen soon. Any feedback and your amazing expertise truly appreciated... Key Immunological and Nutritional Findings Test Result Normal Range Interpretation Tissue Transglutaminase IgA.   <0.2 U/mL.      <7.0 =            Negative   Strongly negative — rules out celiac disease Endomysial Antibodies (IgA).    <10                                         Negative   Supports absence of celiac disease Total IgA                                       1.94 g/L            0.65–4.21.   Normal IgG / IgM                                      8.47 / 2.04 g/L                      Normal.      Normal immune status ✅ These results do not indicate immunodeficiency. IgA is sufficient to make celiac testing valid, and IgG/IgM are in normal range. ⚠️ Nutritional / Absorption Concerns TestResultNormal RangeInterpretation Folate (B9)        3.1 ng/mL.          3.1–20.5.       Low-normal — borderline deficient Total Protein.    63 g/L.                 64–83          Slightly low Ferritin.              33 ng/mL.           15–150.        Normal, but low-normal; could reflect depleted stores 📌 This constellation of results suggests possible subtle malabsorption, suboptimal nutrient intake, or a functional GI issue — even in the absence of celiac disease. 🔄 Implications for Ménière’s and Autoimmunity While there's no evidence of classic autoimmune disease or celiac, subtle immune dysregulation and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) cannot be ruled out. Your symptoms and lab pattern could still fit with an immune-mediated or inflammatory trigger for Ménière’s flares. Borderline nutrient deficiencies (folate, protein) may affect inner ear function or neuronal stability, indirectly exacerbating symptoms. Nutrient absorption issues might stem from subclinical GI inflammation, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities. 💬 Suggested Talking Points for Consultant Could a functional immune or inflammatory mechanism be driving Ménière’s in the absence of overt autoimmunity? Does a trial of immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., steroids, antihistamines) make sense if flares persist despite dietary changes? Would referral to a GI specialist or dietitian be appropriate, given borderline folate, protein, and symptom profile? Continue gluten-free diet trial for 4–6 weeks to assess symptomatic improvement, even in absence of celiac serology. Explore possibility of non-IgE food sensitivities or mast cell activation, especially if symptoms are episodic and food-triggered.
