Sarah? Is today when your mom gets news/results?

I thought we'd be hearing something, but no. They want her to come in Thursday to have her stitches removed (they took slices instead of a punch biopsy this time,) and I think we'll get the results then. I've got to see if my MIL can watch the boys so I can go with Mom.

I made a corn and black bean salad to go with dinner tonight, and it turned out really good! (Brian, of course, heated it up and dumped it on rice. :rolleyes: ) I think I need to write down what I did. I kinda winged it, and I'll never remember if I don't write it down. :lol:

I"LL TAKE YER RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had some to give ya, Susie........I want some rain to get rid of this oppressive, thick, heavy, wet, steaming air. :droopyboilinghotface:

I was wondering if we'd hear news of your mom, Sarah. Waiting's tough, I'm sure. :( We'll be here for you!

Great llama pic, Ptaoughmghmn!. Actually, I've just realized that I may have looked an awful lot like a llama before I got off gluten...... .. contented, sleepy, long-toothed.... .. . :lol:

Tomorrow's Father's Day! Dinner with my dad, and my children's dad (uh....that would be DH....) Should be a nice day. :)

The Ripper's team could end up in first. It looked like they were going to lose today because they had someone else as third-base coach, not waving them forward or home in close, risky play. I walked over to the coach in the last inning and said, "We need five runs. Now. You need to put me over at third". So, he did. And I had them tearing to third base, stretching out doubles with terrified looks on their faces, sliding crazily into home, desparate and scared.....

So, we got the five runs. Jack said to me afterwards, "You are crazy, Mom. But uh, I guess.... thanks".... :lol:

Lots of rain up in Moose Jaw, Ryan? We just keep threatening, here.. .. ..heavy humidity, like we're going to get pounding rain, and it never happens to give us some relief. Ptaoughmghmn, I want yer dry, arid 100 degrees! Trade 'ja!

Yes..We've had over 3 inches of rain in the last week or so...most of that in the last 24 hours or so. I am glad the sun came out, but we've now had thunderstorms ALL day. It's getting a little old. :)

Happy Fathers Day to all the Silly Dads out there.

Very phunnee... .. .I of course was thinking of you, Susie, when The Ripper insisted on this tie for his dad. Jack being Jack, I told him what these pretty, orange-red leaves grouped in threes all over this tie looked like, as I knew he would find it fascinating. Well, he spent some time on google reading all about poison oak. This is what I now am privileged to know about this classification of plants (and what Jack wanted me to tell you, Susie):

The infamous rash one gets from poison oak is from the oil on the leaves called urushiol, meaning "lacquer" in Japanese....

Only 1 nanogram (billionth of a gram) of the oil is needed to cause a severe rash.....

1/4 ounce of urushiol is all that is needed to cause a rash in every person on earth.....

Isn't that all just fascinating? :rolleyes::D

<_< Oh, I know all of this already. Tell Yon Ripper that to FULLY experience the joys of the demon weed, one must contract it, be highly susceptible to it, and then suffer its burning, exploding, itching-like-the-devil, PAINFUL, swolt-up KNIVES ON ONE'S SKIN, lingering-for-weeks-or-months oozing blisters and purple-welted diabolitry to fully appreciate its joys........ :angry::angry:

and DO tell The Ripper that this urushiol is active and toxic even on DEAD PLANTS for up to five years. <_< And that in California, victims can actually receive workman's comp for it......it's THAT painful and debilitating.

I'm not even going to Last Chance on David's two upcoming July trips - can't risk it. :(:angry: (but I can BET you all that I'll actually get it just from coming in contact w/ Kissey when he returns :blink: )

Mygawd, Llama Lady....there is much to learn, here. But do not be afraid. Most importantly, do not scurry away! I don't think any of us can tell you the reasons behind our PH's for F's, our compulsory Commonwealth spelling, our license taken with proper name spelling.....these things have simply....happened......

Um.....it's a pertinent and fascinating question to ponder - - whether or not llamas can be afflicted with gluten intolerance - - but there is, really, a more pressing question:

Do llamas have anal glands? :huh::huh:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OMG - that is PHUNNY! LlamaLady is a phearless contributor to our wackl thread, adn bold enough to ask questions, rather than run away askeert, confused llama tail betwixt legs! :lol:

LL, we started w/ psilly spellings eons ago...........but I"m not sure why. Um, we're pretty wacky, and it just seemed phunnier to us, somehow.

we spell many things in goofy ways, such as Tom - his name has become Ptaum (short version) or Pthaughoughm (variations therein) - Welsh version. And yes, we made that up. :lol:

We use the word wackl a lot, and that is because I was trying to use the wacko face ----> :wacko: and instead of typing that correctly, I put in :wackl: and it suited us, so it stayed.

We always use British (Commonwealth, as Em said) spellings for words that contain the superflous u, and we capitalize said U:

flavoUr

coloUr

tumoUr

and - superfluous O:

cOelic

anOemia

Um........just run wif it. It's phun :lol: and psilly :wacko: and makes no sense. :P

There are many more nuances to our spelling and words, but truth be told, we're juts plain NUTS, and we crack ourselves up........most people around here are pretty scared of us, though, we don't mind that. :lol: In fact we are rather pleased wtih our self-proclaimed reputation as naughty stepchildren :lol:

But - as nutty as we are - and we are truly barking mad - - we keep up w/ each other's daily lives, pretty much, and really do care about each other. :wub: We welcome newcomers, as well - the more sillies, the better.

Happy Dad's Day to silly dads, silly's dads etc!!!!

Hey nice new avs! :)

Heehee

Tom - where's Tom? Have the smoky skies obfuscated you from our view? was thinking of you on brothers' birthdays.......

Awwwww thx :)

It WAS weird how much smoke came up from the 'Indians Fire', from WAY down in southern monterey county.

Not sure how you'd know that .. .good guess?

. .. so I hope to get a chance to teach my dd how to ride her new bike,

Yeah that's a biggie i'n't it? ;)

I walked over to the coach in the last inning and said, "We need five runs. Now. You need to put me over at third".

LOVE this Em!!! :lol:

So, he did. And I had them tearing to third base, stretching out doubles with terrified looks on their faces, sliding crazily into home, desparate and scared.....

So, we got the five runs. Jack said to me afterwards, "You are crazy, Mom. But uh, I guess.... thanks".... :lol:

Way to coach, coach!!!!!!! :D

Tel is so totally crack-whipped

Yep . . . there she goes . . . did anybody keep track of how long Emily lasted before she had to ask llamalady an anal gland question?? You know, next time we have someone join our thread, we should start a pool.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
