You must hate cats .... we lived out in the country and the coyotes ate all our cats .... it was difficult keeping cats to keep down the rodent population ... but it was always open season on coyotes. :) There was a pack that lived near our house .... we had all 19 acres fenced in to protect the kids from them.

We have had coyote problems here the past few years, getting worse. They do go after the pets, and even the horses. (We don't have horses, but many neighbors do.) Luckily a couple of our neighbors got a bunch of donkeys, so that has helped a lot around our place.

Donkeys scare the crap out of coyotes, and will even attack them. I don't know why, and didn't quite believe it at first, but it turns out it's true!

Have lost EVERY shred of mojo I ever had. This time, it's pretty serious. Back on antidepressants, full dosage......not the low maintenance dose I take - which is every three days or so.

Am I STILL bipolar? :( Sorry - - tale for another thread.

Lots of love :wub: :wub: :wub: and big (((HUGS!!!))) Susie. Let the medicine do it's job, stick with your healthy foods, and try not to stress about the labels and categories of what's wrong right now.

PS- You can always post stuff on my Ezra Thread, if you don't feel like starting a new one. I need to update it, he's doing really well!

OMG - there is almost nothing better than the sound of coyotes in teh distance.........

I have to admit, I agree! Though I can't admit it to anyone around here. It's a beautiful sound, and eerie...

Oh gosh- no! Not cat and kid eating coyotes! I like them at a distance too! Although I met a pack in Death Valley that I really liked. was walking out of the campground store and almost had to share my ice cream with one :o

But I like the sound of them in the distant woods....fisher cats and mountain lions at a MUCH further distance.

:lol: I know what you mean! I don't want them up in my yard, but they really are beautiful animals. Supposedly there are a few big cats around here, too... but I'm still undecided as to whether I believe that one. My mother-in-law swears that she's seen one.

Every once in awhile we hear strange noises out in the woods and we try to figure out what beastie we're hearing...

speaking of funny noises....I think we have a ghost at our house...I know the cat has been acting strange hissing and jumping at the wall for no reason...I look for bugs and nothing....

Ghosts I tell ya!

Add me to the dissenter's list . . . grew up in rural Illinois . . . too many problems with coyotes to like them. Although a baby anything is pretty cute. I think baby alligators are cute but not so much the big ones. I live in a pretty citified place now and someone in our neighborhood ('bout a block and a half away) had a dog that was attacked and lived but ripped up pretty good. We had several attacks (about a mile away) a little over a year ago - mostly cats and little dogs - and most did not make it.

Hugs and well wishes for everyone who's feeling blue, mojo-less, under the weather and such. Speaking of weather (how was that for a segue), they reported that we got about four inches of snow last night. I look out and see maybe two . . . conclusion? . . . must have been a male meteorologist. ;)

I know we got snow today, there is a covering out there. It looks like its not sticking on the roads but I hear they are slick. The commute home will be so much fun. This is the first snow of the season which might impact traffic.....crazy's will be out!!!

I've seen them shun neopolitan before. Hmmmm did you get roadrunner flavor?

The odd little growl when I had the tape measure near parts he wanted protected, but nothing else...

:rolleyes::lol:

"Odd little growl"? *snort* puh-leeeze! It sounded like a bit of a moan to me, followed by what sounded like a very long outstretched arm locking the door!!

Good luck braving the mess, Amanda! Around here, they close the schools if it flurries! :lol:

.... of course, I laugh, but I'm a big wimp when it comes to driving in snow. I used to not mind snows, just ice. But when I was pregnant with Ez, I was driving home from work one night in the snow, and was totally traumatized.

Ran off the road (a mountain road, switchbacks, etc,) there was a pileup, multiple wrecks, people standing all over the place in the dark (no streetlights out there and NO cell-phone service.) An eighteen-wheeler fishtailed, sliding down the hill, hit several cars (including a cop car and a plow,) nearly ran a bunch of people down, everyone running and screaming, jumping over the guardrails, etc.

At least I had my Mom with me, lol. She and Dad carpooled at the time, and saw me on their way home. Mom jumped out- Dad never totally stopped the car, he would've gotten stuck too. As soon as he got home he called a tow truck for me. When the tow truck eventually got there, I thought the crowd was going to jump him! But he walked around calling out my name, "Sarah, your Daddy called me!"

*shudder* I hole up when it snows now! We don't have enough plows and trucks to handle bad weather, because we don't get it often. So when we do, it's chaos.

OKAY! I need to go recover from reliving that event. :lol:

Um, thanks for the hugs everybody. :) I took a long walk with dingos and then did some errands, now will be in seclusion. :ph34r:

and OMG, had my last Spanish class last night, I do not have to take the final, and squeeeeeeeeeeeeeked by with an A. ;) I am so happy. Dear gawd, I hope I don't take Spanish 2...... :huh:

Um, I think........to punish the people who cut down the trees...........AND my stepford next-door-neighbor (she said she had "mixed feelings" about the trees being cut down, which she could see from her second-story bedroom, "because there were just so many birds in there" that annoyed her) GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: - - - WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE??????????????????????

anywho I think to punish these people around me I am going to go get a pack of coyotes and fisher cats and beautiful little foxes and just let them loose in the 'hood.

MOJO FINDING EXPERIMENT

Okay, this is a bizarre piece-together from assorted scientific data, and the gist is this:

Substance P is a response to pain.

Substance P is also involved in mood (negatively).

theory: Removal of free substance P will elevate mood.

Experiment:

Eat a lot of spicy food. You'll send all your substance P to your gut, remove it from your neurons, and elevate your mood.

Expected results:

1. No physiological change in substance P, but mood is elevated because you've just eaten fabulous spicy food.

2. Substance P is removed from neurons. Mood is elevated because of decrease in free substance P.

Gah.....

Jess, you may have once again provided us with a post-halter. This has a whiff of syllogism to it, which makes me askeert. I am left with one intriguing question: What the hell is substance P? Peroxide? Pineapple juice? Pee? I know my mood is markedly elevated when these substances are removed from my gut. :lol:

We don't need to know what substance P is to run a successful experiment. :P

Personally, I'd have to question the part of the hypothesis seemingly suggesting a direct relationship between spicy food & gut pain. :o

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
