Tomorrow's A Snow Day!

Tomorrow is SO a snow day!

That arctic storm coming across the Pacific Northwest came down during our commute home (and pretty much only during that). Something around 6 inches of snow during those 2.5 hours. (Note that it usually only takes 25 minutes. <_< )

Given that there are plenty of cars stranded on the freeway, and more on the street coming up the hill towards our house, and the roads were icing over at 7pm, it's probably not going to be safe to go to work tomorrow morning. :P Given that our car is parked in a parking lot 2.3 miles away and we'd have to walk through the snow (again) to get to it (at least this time, *not* up the big hill :lol: ), it might be kinda hard to get in anyway. :rolleyes:

So it's a snow day! :lol:

Of course, our workplace (my husband and I work for the same company, same project, same group) "doesn't shut down due to adverse weather" but we "can flex our time to make up the time later in the week or take vacation time, but not sick time". :blink:

Yay for snow day! Too bad I can't go skiing. :P

Bad weather is coming my way, it just seems to be taking the roundabout path to get here. I'm prepared to stay home for a couple of days!

We got a couple inches down here (north of vancouver).

Supposed to be one icy mess tomorrow morning. Poor dh can't get out of work....he's a local truck driver. He'll be allowing twice the normal amount of time to get where he needs to go.

We're all doing the happy dance here too. All the kids will be out of school, we have 6 inches with more coming down (slowly now) and we all LOVE the snow. It's a treat here - last time the area got hit we only got 3/4 inch.

Hopefully we can get out by Friday, because I have plans on Sunday and can't work *both* weekend days! :)

Well, I don't know about snow or ice, but we sure have wind here! It's gusting so hard, it takes everything I can muster to keep the car on the road. I think we'll be staying home tonight!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
