Thank you all so very much! I deeply appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and good wishes on behalf of my family.

Lynne, I agree that there is power in numbers--and this is one determined group we have here ;)

Nini, Yes, they are definately planning to incorporate alternative/natural therapies along with whatever the doctors recommend. My sister has been consulting with her Kinesiologist.

Liz, You're so right about PE teachers--you are all very special :D

Marcia, Bev and Jestgar, thanks for your comforting words. I'm glad to hear that the people in your lives were able to successfully overcome this.

Ursula, I will never forget your generosity the other day.

Again, thanks to each and every one of you :)

Patti, just finally got on and saw the thread. I am so sorry to hear about your b-i-l. I will keep him in my prayers. Please, keep us updated. How is your sister doing with all of this?

They are lucky to have you in their corner for support.

I have just seen this thread. Of course I will keep positive thoughts and have already stopped and said a prayer. Elementary P. E. teachers are special people, and so are brothers-in-law! Prayers for him, your sister, and all the family. God bless!

Thank you, Jaten--I appreciate it :)

Laura, My sister is not taking this well at all. He is actually holding it together better.

What we're hoping for now is that the scans come out clear in terms of the cancer already spreading. If all clear, they will do surgery that will, hopefully, take care of it. Don't know yet about any additional treatment.

May God's blessings be bestowed upon you & yours.....It is at these times where we are tested....

Just checked in and wanted you to know I was thinking of you, your BIL and family.

When you said that your sister wasn't taking it well and that your BIL was handling it better, I think that happens a lot because the family and friends think that there is nothing they can do to solve the problem. They can't cure the one they love. You have no control over the situation and that is really hard. :(

Hugs hugs hugs B

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
