Congrats...it's so fun to get a new puppy (aside from the pee and poo). I have 3 of my own...1 lab and 2 gordon setter puppies...

Oh Bev, he sounds great! I would be so excited, too :D

Of all the names you listed, he looks most like a Bodhi to me--plus I like the description :) Shiloe is nice, too. Maybe he's already used to it?

You'll have to keep us posted on the little one.

( :lol: Beck--people often tell my older son he looks like him! I think he looks more like Seth Green, but what do I know, I'm just the mom :D )

Boy, I had to go through all the work of finding a new thread. :angry::lol::lol:

I found it! Obviously, huh. :P

Love your new little puppy Bev.

I like the name Shiloe as well as Orion. That's just me though.

You'll have to be sure to post many picture updates, since they grow so fast. :D

I'm so glad you are able to get a puppy, even though you are still dreaming of a bernese.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH he is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Just the sweetest little bundle of fur. I like Shiloe, but I am sure you'll come up with something perfect once you meet him if that's not right. I changed Tika's name about 10 times - - and she still gets called many things - and she should ahve been named Sassy.

BTW my brother's dog is named Mojo. :P

I am so excited for you!!!!

Um, both my dogs were house-trained almost instantly from the instructions in this great book I used - The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete (they raise prized German Shepards). In case you need any good tips. ;)

Stinker and Annie are SO excited for you also. :rolleyes:

Congrats! I am adopting a 3-year-old cat named Butch (I will change his name to Spats, the late beloved cat of one of my best friends0>

When I saw your new addition, I thought he looked like a Morrie!

Have fun! I really believe that pets are God's way of saving that He loves us in spite of us!

Oh my gosh- I was so bummed I couldn't log on last night! I wanted to post so bad but it was down. He's doing great!

i, on the other hand, am exhausted! :blink::rolleyes:

We brought him home yesterday afternnon and he was shaking like a leaf. Got better as the day went on. last night I slept on the floor next to his crate! He was really good tough...not a peep (or a pee :P ) and we went out at 11, 1:30, 4:30, 6:30. I then passed out on the couch until 9.

Had to go up to school today to pick up some paperwork so Angus came with. He was great in the car. Shy around the office staff.

We went over the house of one of my committee members because she was dying to meet him. He LOVED her dogs (she has a yellow lab and a Newfie/golden mix with a head like a bulldozer but SUPER sweet). He was all over them and their tails were wagging like mad! He curled up with one of her dogs on the couch and took a nap.

He's had about 5 accidents so far which isn't bad considering we're crate and house training. He's even been nice to the cats.

He's a little suspicious of guys though. MUCH prefers me to Kurt and was afraid of another one of my professors who is male. :( Kurt's kind of bummed out. Me too. But hopefully he'll come around. :rolleyes:

Oh, Bev!!!! He's adorable, and will be such a handsome big fella :)

I'm really super happy for you. So is Angus the name? I like that a LOT. What a great name, and he looks like an Angus....Haines thinks so, too!

Enjoy, and one day he'll be house-broken, and one year he'll be beyond the chewing stage, and you'll be glad you stuck with him because he'll stick with you and be the perfect fit for your home.

Haines is so beautiful (not after Haines Alaska is he or did I already ask you that?). I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

Congrats! He's adorable! Hang in there with the long nights - they'll get better. I can't count how many times I got up with Buddy at night during the first 6 weeks, then it got better. He's now 5 months and sleeps for 8-81/2 hours every night with no accidents!

Thank you, and yes for Haines, AK. Hubby and I took an Alaskan cruise a few years ago. A few months later we adopted a very loving shelter dog...ta daaaa.....Haines!

I wish you lived closer so our pups could play and we could compare gall bladder (lack thereof!) stories.

That would be so grand! Speaking of absent gall bladders, the euphoria was THE BEST ;) I still haven't figured that one out

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.

I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
