So Em.....I presume they didn't bring a ballcock today either?...... B)

Bah! Nope, no ballcocks. But there are SIX big guys on my roof right now....I think they sent so many to get it done pronto, before any rain starts up. So far, so good. <_<

I thought you-all would be proud of me for not making snarky comments in other threads :rolleyes:

I figured Ckought wouldn't want his lovely forum degenerating into a free-for-all of tangential, abstract snips.

Hey, ya'll speak for yourselves! <_< I like snarky! :D

Do you have to 'vote' newbies in??? :unsure:

Oh no! This does not sound good :( Nikki, if you can't get any water into him or he keeps throwing it up, you need to get him to the vet for an IV fluid. We had to do this with Allo once when he was young--the vet said that not drinking for 24 hours is an emergency.

The good news is that he came home later that evening looking like a camel (the fluids build up under the skin and disperse from there) and recovered completely. :)

Keep us posted on the wee one.

Although I realized I wouldn't object if I were allowed to end every post with something like "There are no omnipotent beings spending every moment of their existence focusing on just you, so maybe you should take some time to learn to take care of yourself."

I mean, just look at Judy's flowers - omnipotent beings clearly have better things to do than sit around and listen to us whine.

Poor baby :(

May I suggest some watered down baby food in that syringe? Sometimes a little substance can help.

He had the tiniest bit of cooked chicken - but that came back up after a couple of mins :worriedface:

I MAY have to bite the bullet and have take him to the (weekend) vet if he doesn't pick up a bit tomorrow (KA-CHING!....Why does this always happen @ weekends???? :rolleyes: )

Nikki! Poor wee Barphin' Boris.....! :( Do keep us posted........

The less weight a creature is, the less time he can manage without fluid. I agree with Patti - - should take him to the vet tomorrow am if he hasn't consumed SOMETHING......

I believe I could manage quite a while, thank you..... <_<

Patti, you look FABULOUS. Don't anybody believe her. Jack told me after our great evening, "Patti is really pretty. She looks about 36. I think Mark kind of looks like her dad". :o:lol::rolleyes:

Gawd, Patti, don't tell Mark that.......... :ph34r:

Guys I am so excited...this is our week sans-baby....and we have so many phun things planned! We are going to see 1-legged Dave our old lab buddy tonight for dinner. I miss him the most from the lab, everyone hates this man, he turned out to be the best friend John and I ever made down there. Everyone told me, he will be civil to you for 1 year and then he will turn on you....well 5 years later he was at my wedding, his daughter was my flower girl....Guess I proved them wrong :)

Then Jen has a babysitter for the evening and she and John and I are heading to the casino. I still like Atlantic City much better than our PA casinos since there is more to do. But this is still a fun night out. I think it is nice for Jen to go out every now and again as well. Next weekend she is coming home to my moms again. We are doing the county fair and that kind of funs tuff.

Well time to head out of here. Bye Bye Sillies!

Where is everybody?? :unsure:

So, I'm outside this evening, weeding and going along great guns when I pull this good-sized weed out from under a shrub......and an entire colony of ground bees come pouring out! :o I drop my shovel, run towards the porch, dropping my gardening gloves and waving my arms to try and keep the bees away (quite a sight, I'm sure :blink: )

Luckily, I only got one sting--the little sucker stung me right through my jeans! :huh::angry: It still hurts a little :(

elye Community Regular

Mygawd, Patti! :oGround bees? Lord, I've never heard of such creatures.

Like land sharks? <_<:rolleyes:

Thank goodness you only got away with one sting!

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

We were at the store until 7. When we got home, I made dinner and we dined out on the deck, where we still are. I have the laptop out here on the table.

We're still struggling with staffing issues. We had a temporary person, already trained, whom we expected to stay with us until LaboUr day, but he found a better job for the rest of the summer, and today was his last. We are training a university student (local), but he won't be ready to work alone for at least a couple of weeks. So for the short term, one (or both) of us has to be there all day every day. :(

Nikki, the advice you have already had about Boris is good. Kittens are fragile, and dehydration is very serious.

Judy, I love your flowers.

Open Original Shared Link There are four in the Vancouver area and two in Greater Toronto. The closest one to me is the Avenue Road location, just north of Bloor, and I have not been there. I seem to be surviving with other more conveniently located stores. But I will have to visit one of these days. Maybe they will eventually come to Ottawa. :huh:

Judyin Philly Enthusiast

Gosh Peter sounds like you sure have your hands full at work.

Good luck and don't over do it

Your dinner on the deck sounds so nice.

thanks ......glad you enjoyed the flowers.

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
