Later babies are still crying

Oh gosh, yes! I remember that!!

All my babies went in the nursery at night so I could sleep - but the funny thing was I would wake up hearing a baby crying and just KNOW it was mine.

Admittedly having lots of crying babies to deal with would be trying!!! :lol:

Tell me about it. I have 2 babies in here that can't settle down very well. but i cant blame one of the them because he has a terrible bruise on his head and breastfeeding all the time and then i have another 2 who wants to spit all the time that is enough to make anyone want to go home which thankfully I only have 2hours to go and counting.

Do you believe in the cycles of the moon. May 07 is a bluemoon month and it has been trying everywhere. I am betting things will start to calm down in a week or so. I can always tell when it is a few days before the full moon, just by the behavior of people. The full moon is on Thursday the 31st--things should calm after that.

I totally believe in the full moon that is when we are the crazy busy and that is when we get all the crankist babies and also if you can believe the weirdest names as well as first of babies and last names. usually the babies are eighter over 8lbs or under 6lbs. it really goes in cycles as well

Oh by the way the little girl in your picture is she your daughter or your niece, she looks alot like one of my daughters friend here in texas Baylee L

the little girl in your picture is she your daughter or your niece :D Thank you, she is my granddaughter, Brooklyn. She was 6 at the time and will be 9 next month. In that pic, I think she has many of my features, which would make her mom crazy! ;) I have 7 grandchildren now, Scott 9, Angel 5, Taylor 9, Harley 3, Brooklyn 8, Colin 7, and the little guy, Ethin 7 months. All beautiful!!!

I work in a doctor's office and I can tell the full moon is almost here just by the behavior of the patients. I then look at the calendar so see when the full moon appears and I am always correct.

Brooklyn is beutiful, My daughter is 7 will be 8 in Aug and we probly wont have any more because im 36 and I think that is too old for me to have another at this point, but if it happens then God will give me what he wants us to have. But yes right now i think that the soon to be full moon is affecting my husband as far as the "Dirty Laundry " goes. Along with what happens with the Ladies in Labor and Delivery..

Yah!! :lol: relief is here

I get this in insurance business too. There are times when just everybody is calling about the smallest things. Not so much on my end, but the homeowners dept. goes crazy....especially when weather is bad it appears that people are home and bored and have taken to either reading their insurance policies or are grousing about the increase in the premium. If I were home the last thing I'd do would be to read my insurance policy ;)

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
