One of my guinea pigs died this morning. Maeve. We got her from the humane society a year ago to keep our other guinea pig (Boudika) company. Maeve had sight problems, seemed to be kinda old, reeeeally cuddley. We spoiled her rotten, she was fine yesterday..... These things happen (I grew up on a farm, I've been thru this b4) but it just really sucks. We got our girls when I was going thru a terribly hard time, needed company and companionship. They very much give that to me. Now Boudika is all alone, I think we'l get another one later to keep her company. I miss her....

This day sux

I'm so sorry. :(

It's always hard when we lose part of our furry family.

How's Boudika doing?

I had a cat get out once and never saw her again. My other cat went through a little down time before she bounced back.

Hi Adelle,

I'm so sorry to hear about Maeve :( It's so hard to lose a pet--they become a part of the family.

Adelle, I am sorry for your loss. Yes it is hard to loose a pet, they are members of the family. They are a great comfort when we are feeling down.

I will be devastated when my geriatric cat decides to go.

But poor you, it was quite unexpected for your Maeve to go.

My thoughts are with you and little Boudika.

Hugs.

Catherine

It's always hard when we lose one of our little furry friends... Or our feathered friends or our friends with fins and scales or flippers! LOL... sorry. I went off there, I was just thinking about when my daughter's goldfish dies we will all be really upset... (Trust me, the silly fish is 5 years old and is over a foot long)...

I've recently lost several of my kitty babies and I'm still missing them, but we have a new addition to the family (another stinky boy kitty named Gizmo whos really sweet and cute)... but boy he stinks...

Thanx for all of your support! Boudika is making the "I'm a lonley piggie" sound a lot. It's breaking my heart! We're gonna get another baby to keep her company soon. They were in separate cages (cause maeve was kinda aggro w other piggies due to the blindness and abuse by others) but they could see/hear eachother (they were good friends as long as there was a fence between them). Boudika keeps looking for her.

We'll just have to keep an eye out at the humane society, they r so social, I hate her being lonley!

Again, thanx for the support. U guys rock.

Dear Adelle,

From one animal lover to another, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Growing up in a house that always had it's share of animals we had a saying when one passed: "It never gets easier..."

Have you ever read the Rainbow Bridge poem? I love it, and even though it always makes me cry, it's beautiful and very comforting:

Ditto on the Rainbow Bridge poem! So, so sorry for your loss. We just lost our 12 year old dog and it was a very sad day for us and the kids. I found a bunch of poems and funny stories on the internet that we shared with the kids to put a smile back on their face. I was reading all the dog ones, but I'm sure there are plenty out there for all pets. There were some really cute stories that not only made us smile by bringing back wonderful memories, but also got a few laughs at a very difficult time. My favorite was the one about how to train a puppy. It said you roll up a newspaper, tie it with a rubberband and leave it on the table. When your puppy chews up something or does something naughty, pick up the newspaper and hit yourself on the head with it, repeating over and over, "I should've been watching my puppy. I should've been watching my puppy."

Hugs to all of you and remember all the funny, quirky, and cute things she did. :)

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.
