How do you stuff a quinoa????? :huh:

Do you REALLY want to know? I tried explainingit to SusieQ (Q does not stand for Queen of all things Quinoa), and if my memory serves me, the various flow charts and power point presentations outlining the 145 simple steps (several of which involve consuming alcohol) resulted in befuddlement and poo-pooing (not to be confused with poo-ooping :o ) So I ask you again, do you REALLY WANT TO KNOW?? :huh::o

Good luck with the 700 gene thingy..wotsits

OMG!

I took Ezra back to the doc again, and now she thinks he has reflux. Ok, I was waiting for that one, no big surprise. The surprise came when I was at the pharmacy to pick up his Zantac, and the children's syrup is $200 per month. :(

I HATE DRUG COMPANIES!!!!!

You can get adult Zantac at Walmart for $4 per month's supply!!! And by the way, the adult version is 10x the mg!

I am so pissed right now. And kind of want to barf.

I don't know what to hope for- that it helps him and he finally stops coughing...

Or that it doesn't help him, because I CANNOT afford it anyway.

Ugh.

Oh jeeze Sarah--that's absolutely ridiculas....they shouldn't be allowed to jack the price like that :angry:

Is there any way you could give him a 1/10 dose of the adult med? I don't know--just thinking out loud. I don't even know if it comes in a liquid.

The least they could have done is give you a sample to see if it's gonna help him before you fill the Rx.

Ugh.

:( Can you get teh adult version, and water it down severely? Would your doctor consider writing a prescription for that and instructing you on how to dilute or reduce it?

(um, this coming from a grown woman with no children :huh: )

Why thank you. ;)

Um, ahem, in case you didn't know, and I'm sure you did not, about 60 of the units in my worthless Liberal Studies major are in English/foreign languages/linguistics/journalism...I think my minor is Romance Languages. :blink:

And for WHAT, I ask you??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :lol: SO I can type parole reports in my pee-jays, but more importantly - -

WRITE TO MY SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About, breaking up and adult dose, I'm not sure yet. When I talked to the pharmacist about it, she said that the children's zantac was the only medication of it's type that comes in a syrup. I don't think breaking a tablet into that many pieces would work. Even if I could do it, they wouldn't be uniform size.

Now, I do think I could break one into 1/4s. So if it does work well for him, maybe we can find an adult tablet that is small enough mg's to break into 1/4s.

For now, I just had them give me a 1 week supply to see how it goes.

sigh... Thank you guys SO MUCH for letting me vent.

Indeed he does....it is a tight squeeze though (have to shoe horn him in)....perhaps there'll be more room once the christmas tree comes out....but yeah....getting on famously with the little people :D

One of my sons used to have to have a drug that only come in (really small) adult tablet form.

I used to crush the whole tab - add water to it - then split it into four - just a thought but he's only a wee thing so probably not practical <_<

There's a possibility. May not be the most practical, but it's more feasible than $200 a month right now!

Susie, I have to ask . . . what were you trying to sell in your latest (rejected ebay pic) avatar? I see no signs of any merchandise what-so-evah.

I have to tell you all . . . I have been enjoying the drama that has unfolded because of the changes. It's starting to slow down now . . . somebody needs to go poke that owie!

Ah! I smells a job for the CLOSET ORGANIZER CONSULTANT LADY! I'm certain there is none of this shoe horning business going on in HER closets. :o Nikki, Patti can give you her contact particulars, but be certain to mention when you call her that there is a massive, apocryphal beast in seashells that will need placement. Always best to warn individuals of our yeti ahead of time, I've found. I'm sure, if she's a true professional, she will see it as a healthy challenge...!

Emily said 'Apocrphal'......no idea what it means BUT it sounds good AND i'm pretty sure it pertains to 'yeti' and 'yeti like' creatures.

Poke the Owie is a phrase I got off of another thread. I like it so I'm keepin' it. It means that everys so often you have to see if something (like an owie) still feels bad so you need to test it (say by poking).

Sarah knows 'cause she posted on that thread . . . but I believe she's posted on just about every thread. (Have you noticed, she's getting reeaaaalllllly close to 501!)

Now I have to ask, is pulling yer finger out the Brittish version of pull my finger? :huh::lol:

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
