So we are having a " fun" 4 th. hub is installing 2 faucets we bought 6 years ago. Boys are at the tent from 8 am today until 2 am. I'm just cleaning out some drawers/ cabinets. At least it's cool in the house.

I think chickens, raccoons , coyotes and hikers would melt here.

Thanks Shroom:). It's going around-- several people we know either have it or have just gotten over it.

I'll keep an eye out for that soup ;)

Happy 4th of July to all of you celebrating. Boy have I missed you all. After I took a fall Memorial Weekend I was fairly out of it and vision was off. I'm doing much better. Just have to have an MRI to see if there are any fractures. I didn't go to the ER because of all of my bruises (didn't want Superman questioned) and also after spending a week in the hospital in January I didn't want to take a chance that they'd admit me. Not too smart but what's done is done.Rob did keep waking me the first night because I'm sure I had a mild concussion.Just came back from a lovely neighborhood BBQ and I left earlier than Superman as we're leaving for NJ tomorrow and I still tire very easily. I have been keeping up with the posts and sending positive energy and healing hugs to all of you. Will try to be better about keeping up with you when we return.

Love,wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif

Happy 4th all!!

We had a hot one here . . . Smackl is on the TKD demo team so he had to perform in the 4th of July parade here . . . two miles with constant demos along the route. Temps at parade time in the low 90's but high humidity. Lost two kids (had to ride in the support truck) along the way due to heat. Then Smackl had to work the booth at the festival from noon until 5:00 with a full demo performance at 1:30. . . and all these kids/staff are wearing their standard uniforms(lightweight and loose but long sleeves and pants). He was a trooper . . . I didn't hear him complain once. He also knows that he totally has the day off tomorrow. He can plant himself in front of the computer and shoot all the zombies he wants.

Good to see you Loey and take care of yerselfs, Patti and Mark . . . and Loey!

jerseyangel Proficient

Yea Smackl !! Hope he has a grand time tomorrow :)

Unwrapping my twisted ankle and removing blister bandage to take showers. Piece of advice for amateur hikers- If you think maybe you should stop for the day, you should stop for the day! Ow....

Loweeee!!!! I've been wondering how you've been doing! Was going to do a shout out for you but you beat me to it!

Patteigh....sucks about the phlu. You and Mark get better soon

Well, we had originally planned an all day motorcycle ride (yes...we still ride) with friends to go down across the Ohio River, but it was just too dang hot. So we ended up having a bar-b-que.

Thanks guys, is a lot better already. Stupid rocks...

mushroom Proficient

. Stupid rocks...

Them rocks will get ya! I once went hiking in a rocky national park (well, the trail wasn't rocky but there were rocks everywhere except the trail, and those rocks were all third rocks from the relentless SUN which held HEAT and we was gone most of the day. And I had a hat and two bottles of water, both of which I employed, but when I got back to the hotel for a nice cold amber one I was sick as a dog for two days (felt like sunstroke and heatstroke :P ) GAHHH. Avoided rocks ever since :rolleyes: And sun too!!! for the most part.

Sorry bunny :( ({{{HUGS}}} too)

YEAH! Lisa

"snort" Vscope

dat all?

Lovely 4th. Watched the fireworks from the boat - excellent view, and 'home' is 2 seconds away, down the ladder.

The bread turned out fabulous, and much easier to regulate consumption in 1 pound loaves. Even the Pirate thought it was good with home made butter.

Mulberry (the silkie) is broody again. She's managed to acquire 5 eggs which I've marked, and will leave under her (since I'd have to throw them away otherwise), and I'll check daily for new additions to limit her collection.

Play is done, auction is done, just sent in my little bit of work for the stat lab, forecast says 'no rain' - should be a fabulous weekend.

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
