The Worst Nite

ok, on average this probably doesnt classify as the WORST nite, but it wasnt a good one that led to a cruddy day. Last nite I was online until about midnite, which is almost unheard of for me, with Colin I am in bed by 9. But alas, I was reading and such so I stayed up. When I went to bed I only took my regular meds and my valium, no sleeping pills. It was late and if I took them I would have slept until 3, if I had only known then!!! I laid in bed, rather peacefully thanks to the valium, until about 2am, when Colin started fussing, so I got up and went to him as it was like he had a bad dream. I picked him up and took him to the rocking chair and began rocking him. He pretty much fell back asleep, then OUR nitemare began.

I place him in his crib ever so gently as not to stir him too much, and kaboom, the side of his crib just falls off!!! The whole moveable rail side was on the floor. I thought I must be dreaming. How does a crib that is made to certain speificaitions by law, just fall apart???? Well it did. I went and woke hubby and told him, he thought I was just crazy. He came into the room and couldnt believe it. Also realize by now, Colin is FULLY awake, and began crawling around the room. We tried for two hours to fix it, then I finally saw in my sleeping stupor, (oh, maybe I should mention that I gave up just before Colin woke up and took half a sleeping pill) a huge plastic beige piece on the floor under the crib! Unfixable! Now we had to set up Colin in his pack and play to sleep, which isnt the most comfortable of things.

I call the crib maker today, being Simmons they told me they could get the piece out to me for a mere 8 dollars with 7-10 day shipping. ummm... should I pay b/c their crib broke? nope. and for 7-10 days, where is my child to sleep for that time??? oh now they can rush it to me, all free of charge. gee thanks. now I am worried that when its fixed, what if Colin decides to be a bed jumper? He doesnt do it now, but what if?? I dont know what to do.. the only good thing about the rest of the day, is Colin let me snooze a lot, I needed it, and ninis chicken nuggets. Its our usual Monday nite dinner as dad bowls so me and Colin share them with some ranch dressing.. ummm... made me feel better anyway!

Thanks for listening to me complain!!!

this happened to me when i was babysitting once and it really sucks

the girl is 3 so she has a raduated crib with one side that does up and down. I put her to sleep at 7 and then the other 3 girls and I were watching Harry Potter on DVD and there was this giant crash in her room and we all ran it and realized that she had tried to jump out of her bed and the graduated crib side had cracked in 2 and was broken all over their room. it was very traumatic for the little girl and she didn't go back to sleep until her parents came back.

i hope that you get some sleep tonight and feel better tomorrow.

Argh! How nerve-wracking! I am glad that Colin was not hurt!

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
