Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I am still floating. Mom and baby are doing well. I had to come home so I haven't seen him in over 24 hours but mom said he is eating on his own and she got to feed and hold him last night. My brother is one proud papa. She is doing well and may get out Saturday. Bruce will be there at least two more weeks.

Congratulations!! I may be biased ;) , but I think preemies are the cutest babies. (My preemie is eighteen years old, 6' 4" tall, and 160 lbs.) He's leaving for college in the fall. I will keep your little guy in my prayers.

Hi

Congrats to all

My daughter and I will pray as well, as we do for all the mommies and babies at my work, I work with the newborns not as a nurse but a Tech, I love my job and see plenty of babies down in the NICU and at time we will get a 34 weeker, as long as he is eating, are the giving him extra cals to help him along with mom nursing. He will do just fine as long as nothing happens, infection wise, remember preemies are susseptal to getting the dredded RSV, but I'm sure mom will not let any body hold him when going home without washing up or who have colds.

Update: Bruce is doing fine. He has a feeding tube in his nose to help supplement bottle feedings. He lost several ouces but is now back up to 4 pounds 8 ounces. He is just so wonderful. Mom is doing well, she got out Saturday but is staying at a Ronald McDonald house until he gets out. My brother will stay with her this week and her step-daughter the next. By then Bruce should be able to come home. I've got to touch him through the isolette and talk to him. He opens his eyes and wil look around when daddy talks. Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts, and concerns.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
