Just got back from the hospital. Mom's still in a lot of pain. You will find this interesting: Mom is on liquids only but has really bad heartburn and they can't get clearance for her to have any antacids, so I pulled out my Altoids, asked the nurse if Mom was allowed to have them, she said "sure", so I gave them to Mom and they took her heartburn away!

Tellin' ya, I could write a book - 101 Uses for Altoids!

Hugs.

You're so funny! What's going on with mom? I apologize if you already explained this. I hope she gets better!

I had to take her up to the hospital a few nights ago. She is having another flare-up of her diverticulitis..... She has a CT-Scan tomorrow, hopefully, they won't have to do surgery.......

Hugs.

It doesn't look like this flare-up is as bad as the one last year, where she had many days of bloody diarrhea and was VERY sick. This time around, she is in alot of pain, but she is constipated with it this time...... The x-ray showed there was no perforation, so I think they won't have to do any surgery, just keep her on the IV and the antibiotics for a few more days......

Hugs.

Does anyone remember that song by Gowan, Strange Animal? It could be the full moon theme song with all the howling in it.

Karen, I hope your mother recovers soon.

This seems to be a relatively tame full moon gathering, is it too early yet? I've heard rumors of past shenanigans. :lol:

Yeah, unfortunately, when there is a Post Patrol Police Officer around, we keep our straightjackets on so as to not get hauled up on the carpet..... <_<

I am getting into trouble at my house between this thread and the 40 ish thread. I am laughing so loud that hubby thinks I should tone it down so he can hear the TV. I love Karen's photo :lol:

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
