I have been begging and pleading with my Dad for MONTHS now to get a llama......WHY you say? I don't know.....llamas are good for keeping predators away from cattle and sheep. We have cows (at my parents). So finally this week I found a llama that was for sale. Dad said he was "too much money" and we couldn't get it. However, the man selling him took less money for him and on Saturday (if all goes well) I will be the proud owner of a llama named Gus. I am terribly excited!!

If anyone has experience with llamas...share your knowledge. If you think I'm crazy....that's ok too ;)

You are not crazy. We don't have llamas - but we live in suburbia. We hope to get one or two or three when we move to Montana and have sheep or goats. Good luck to you!

Gus :D how cute!

There used to be a llama on a farm not far from here--I would pass by it every so often. The llama was adorable and always seemed to be standing near the fence watching the cars go by. They also has a few horses who wore the cutest "coats" in the cold weather.

Hope all goes well this weekend--I'd love to see a picture!

I just can't stop laughing that I own(will own) a llama named Gus. :lol:

Gus was abandoned by some people....that is how his current owner came to have him. This guy was going to breed llamas and "just never got around to it" so he was selling him. Gus sounds like a sweetheart and the sad abandonment story doesn't hurt my fondness for him. The guy says he's very nice, doesn't spit (which I guess is quite the bonus :P ) , is very curious. When I called the guy to ask about Gus...Gus was laying down outside with the guy's grandson....awwww!!

I have loaded film in the camera to take pictures. So I'll post one of him sometime soon. He doesn't arrive until Saturday and the wait is killing me!

I am one HACKED OFF chick!! The guy who we were getting our llama from sold him out from under us (or at least I'm pretty sure he has). I am so sad and upset. I went shopping today for a comb and a collar for him............ :( This guy that is selling him sounds like a real piece of work......who knows if he even HAS a llama for sale.

Aww, I'm so sorry.

And I was looking forward to llama pics.

Maybe it just means that there's a better llama looking for you.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
