Nikki!! How do you make those thingies bigger?? (the pictograms! <_< ) And added coloUr??!

The robe smells. Needs dry cleaning. I think Emily let her dogs sleep on it. Don't ask about the blood stain!! Yes, the jester and trumpeter are doing better, however, they have a standing appointment for their couples counseling that you will need to make sure that they get to . . . and whatever you do, don't let them get ahold of the keys to ANYbody's car, truck, RV, lawn tractor, etc . . . you get the drift. If you've got a lock for yer bike, I would use it.

:lol::lol:

Yeah, what's with the smell on that robe? Me poodles don't smell, and don't shed, either, so they were free to lounge on it regularly. . . . . . ....the wrinkles in the velvet are absolutely due to prone dog. Get them to press it, Erica, when you take it in . . . . ..

I think our Jester/Bugler couple swiped it one evening and took turns adorning it while out carousing through downtown Ottawa. . . . . bugling, tambourining, staggering, singing. . . . who knows what the source of that lingering stench is. . . . ..... :huh: And that stain.... . . ...I've been wondering if it is from blood, or something else.

I think the bugler wore it to his shift at Walmart, without clearing it with me.

:lol:

Now we all can say, "you just wait, one of these days you will want to get a hot tub and however will you manage without MATH!!!!!!!"

Yes!! Thank you for this, Jooolie! I shall put it into practice at once! :lol:

I said, Shush girl shut your lips,

Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.

:blink::blink: Mygawd. . . . ..... . .♠ ◘ ○ . . ........I jus' dunnno what to say about that one. . . ..!

Ptaoughmghmn! Interesting. . . . candida shouldn't be offering you any problems. .. . ..curiouser and curiouser. . . .....I'm sorry you're no closer to some, ANY, answer. . . ..... :(:angry:

I'm off to peruse Oracle PeOter's pictogram site of page 37, er sumfin'. . . . .

Got my candidaq bloodtest results yesterday.

I really expected higher numbers.

Candida IgA 8

Candida IgG 2

Candida IgM 7

Limit's 10 for all.

IgM is the first response, followed by IgG. A low IgG may mean "no", or it may mean "not yet". IgA may or may not be present in serum.

These tests seem like the "positive, if positive, but not necessarily negative if negative" type.

Thx Jess ;)

I'm still so surprised I didn't register over limit.

And here we go .. . ..I have an interview tomorrow @2 for that part-time job that I'm not quite sure I can do. :ph34r:

There better not be fragrances or fumes. :(:ph34r:

Yay! A new Queen, HRH Erica the Young! And hotubs! And puppies, oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The puppy smell <contentedsigh> Labs are crazy diggers. I had to make a garden over the hole that Kramer (the lab who lived here before us). Angus has some lab in him- he even buries his treats!

I WANNA pet Sammy!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:

happygirl Collaborator

Bev, I wish you could pet her too. She's asleep at my feet right now...she really does make life better.

Today she learned how to run, and is learning how to play. She met another dog in the neighborhood, and had more neighbors come to meet her and play. We've had a few accidents in the house, but we are working on it. I still have no idea what the plan is for sleeping tonight. Is it terrible that I just want her to sleep in the bed with me? !!!! (Sleeping in the bed with me does NOT equal "crate training", apparently)

I love, love, love her. LOVE HER.

I love, love, love her. LOVE HER.

Her little "playing picture" is so darn cute :D I want to just pick her up and hug her!!

I spoke with an old friend today--lots of catching up and gabbing.....it's been a while and one of the things she told me is that she got a new puppy earlier this year--a Chocolate Lab!! She said that the dog thinks she's one of the kids :rolleyes:

I told her about Sammy, and how adorable she is. I thought that was such a neat coincidence :)

elye Community Regular

Laura! Bring that adorable pup into bed wif you........ . . there was no way I could resist bringing my little, crying poodle pup into bed with me on those first cold nights. . .. . I know, I know, it's against the crate rules. . .. ...but gawd! How can we resist?? And she won't pee in your bed - - she'll whine and wriggle around first, to let you know she's gotta go . .. .you'll just hafta move quickly! :):)

Well me sillies,

Off to bed. Weezee and I worked an eight-hour shift today, it's been so long! My shadow has not darkened the doorway of ANY establishment at 8 a.m. since.......God knows when! I never make early morning appts and......if I see 6 a.m. it usually means I've been up all night. :blink: <thank God that's been quite a while>

It was such a good day. Pray for phunding (it's a non-profit) so that this can become my REAL JOB. I LOVE working for Shane and he loves having me. Weezee gets to go too. :)

      @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.
