Poor Little Zoey

Ursa Major

Yesterday my daughter and son-in-law took Zoey for her x-ray and they were so hopeful that her cast would come off (for anybody who didn't read my first topic on this- she broke her femur four weeks ago and is in a cast that goes from her left ankle right up to her ribcage, so she can only lie flat). It was their fourth wedding anniversary yesterday, too.

Anyway, the doctor looked at the x-ray and told them that it isn't nearly healed, and she needs the cast for another three weeks. When then they tried to book another appointment for in three weeks, they were told that doctor would be on holiday then, and they had to book it for in four weeks.

They asked if they could see another doctor, so Zoey could have her cast off in three weeks, but were told that wasn't possible. That makes me angry! There is a poor baby in this heat in that big cast, and they can't accommodate them somehow? Don't they have a heart?

The doctor said if he would take the cast off now, it would break again if only she would roll over in bed the wrong way. It doesn't seem fair.

But through all this, Zoey is incredibly cheerful, it is amazing. She is also getting very patient with her colouring. A month ago she was scribbling all over the place when colouring, like all two-year-olds. Now she won't leave a single speck white, and completely colours in the lines! I've NEVER seen a child her age (25 months old) colour in the lines before.

Oh well, I guess the next four weeks will pass soon enough, the first four weeks went by quickly.

Ohh, the poor, sweet baby! This is the age where they really get into playing outside, and the poor thing is going to miss 1/2 of her summer. :(

I agree, I've never seen a child that age be able to focus enough to color like that! She's going to be a smart cookie. ;)

Yes, she got a swing set with slide for her birthday (it is for her baby sister as well) from her parents and both sets of grandparents. She loved it so much, she would get up from her nap in the afternoon, run straight for the back door and say, "Go outside, slide?" And then wear herself out completely by climbing up and sliding down for hours!

She got to enjoy her new swing set for three days before she broke her leg. :(

And the weekend after this next one they are going to the cottage on Lake Erie (near Owen Sound) and she won't even be able to play on the beach and go into the water! But her other grandparents and aunts and uncles and a great-grandmother will be there to entertain her and take her for walks in her wagon. She'll get lots of attention and love from everybody, and I'm sure she'll enjoy that.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
