I am so sorry. I like my doggie better than my kids... j/k obviously, but not totally. Dunno if the Rainbow Bridge is too hokey for you... I always thought it was for me... till I lost my 10+ year old Boxer Boy, Boozer. Then I asked someone to post it for me and cried like a baby!!

The Rainbow Bridge poem has been posted here. Open Original Shared Link

It's been a long time since she has posted, but I know she still visits from time to time.

Losing a pet is no easier than losing a human... I hope that you are able to find peace in this difficult time. God knows you've been through enough in the past few weeks.

Thanks for rainbow bridge, i really loved it and know its true. I have not slept yet, and its 5:30 in the morning and the boys are up with me. She was my first dog and i didnt get her til i was in college, so i had to leave her with my parents when she was 1, it was so hard in an apartment. They always told me I could take her back once i got an house, but they loved her so much i let her stay with them. My parents are having such an hard time and blame themselves. They felt they should of called the vet sooner, the doggie passed away while my dad was outside waiting for the vet. SHe told them there wasnt much they could have done for her, even surgery only had a slight chance of survival. The vet was shocked that she never cried. She just got up to go get an drink of water and hit the french doors and my mom ran to get her and she looked at my mom and took 3 breaths and passed away. They left her in the kitchen, and will take her down today to be cremated, they dont want to bury and i cant blame them there.

I never knew lsoing an pet was so hard. My kids are devastaed. They told my hubby that he had to stay home today cause ginger died. But my 6 yr old looked at me and said u know what mom, uncle and grandma were up in heaven waiting for her to come and play iwth them cause they were lonely until we can go play with them. And they are goign to pray for the dog today at school. I really have great kids. Why cant i be strong like them.

Ok im done rambling, see what no sleep does to me.

That's a tough thing to go through. I feel for your family. I was never a dog person, but am now. We too would also be devastated.

It's a cruel trick of nature that we humans outlive our animal companions, our friends that love us so unconditionally.

I'm very sorry. lm

thanks everyone, my parents are feeling so bad today. They blame themselves for not calling the vet sooner and for going to a meeting yesterday. Their lives revolved around this dog, she ws a very spoiled doggie. I told them even if they would have got her in, she would of probably still passed away, but they said then at least they could of tried everything they could. My mom took an pic of her right after she passed, and she looked so terrible, i put it on my screensaver, they tell me she didnt suffer, but for the looks of it, she did.

They are talking about another doggie, but they want a lap dog that cant hve this happen to it.

what she died from was bloat from too many grains, to me it sounds like a case of doggie celiac.

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I am new here but celiac disease is not new to me. I was diagnosed with it at age 60. At the time I weighed a whopping 89 pounds. I was so ignorant to celiac so I buried myself in learning all about it and looking for food I could eat. I lost so much weight and stayed sick all the time. So to combat the sickness I was give all sorts of meds for loose bowels and vomiting. All that just made me sicker. Eventually I chucked it all and went back to eating like I had all my life. Now I am from the south and biscuits and gravy are a big part of our food, as are breaded foods, pasta, and sandwich bread. Through the years I would try to do the gluten free thing again and am doing it now. It has not helped any. Within and hour of eating I have to run to the bathroom. I am now 75 and am wondering if I should just forget it and eat what I like, take Immodium and live the best I can. I cannot eat before going anywhere for fear of embarrassing myself. Family and church dinners are out of the question unless I eat and run straight home. I am so frustrated I just want to sit down and cry or throw something. Does everyone go through all this?
