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. :)

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
