The past week has been a blur of sleep deprivation due to our new puppy, who's finally getting more secure in his new environment.

What a beautiful pup!! Makes me think of what our Lucy must have looked like then. We have a white standard female. She is a rescue. We got her from Circus people who had over 100 dogs with all of them in crates all day with only 2 potty breaks and no play time. It was pathetic. She is partially blind and mentally retarded. But we just love her!! :)

Have fun and enjoy every moment of it!! Hide your shoes. :P

we've named him Neo, like in The Matrix, and he's settled in, and doing well with what we're teaching him so far. he picked up sit very quickly, so we're mostly reinforcing; he naturally retrieves, so we just need to correlate it with a command. stay is just starting to happen, as he's just now getting comfortable with the idea of this being his permanent new home and feeling confident of it. come is one my husband is working on, and it's a little slow going. he knows the idea of housebreaking, but doesn't get the idea of puppy pads, which is kinda frustrating. not too many accidents, however, since he's good about waiting until we go outside (which is often).

he's been fairly good with shoes. trying to teach him not to chew on the ethernet cable I have on the floor while I work from home has been harder, but he's picking it up. the guy is smart, just sometimes very puppy. :) he is only 9.5 weeks old, after all. :D

huh, that's odd. I had a link to my flickr pictures (not an advertisement, I don't sell my pics, and none of them come close to offensive, they're mostly trees from hiking!).

perhaps someone edited it out?

I'll try again: Open Original Shared Link

Some more pictures of Neo - both feeling unwell (we think it's a bad case of teething) and playing like crazy (taken on back to back days).

Tiifany, what a gorgeous creature Neo is!! I would never get another breed after having spent half my life with standard poodles. We have two, a big white female rescue pup, and a very big apricot male. They are the ideal dog -- with children, the elderly, big families, small......perfectly cut out for the job of special needs dog...cannot say enough about them.

Funny, our black female standard that I grew up with went through all kinds of obedience and agility training, and learned so quickly, as these fiercely intelligent beasts do. Sit, down, stay, heel, everything was picked up immediately. However, she would not ever respond to the "come" command - - ever. She knew what it meant, but simply chose not to obey that one. :lol: One of the trainers at the time told me that standard poodles are renowned for this, the refusal to come on command. My two current standards, as well, just stare at me when I yell at them from across the meadow, "Come!"

.....They're too smart for their own good!! :rolleyes:

They are, aren't they? Makes training a hoot, since you have to be on your toes to keep them from getting bored! :D

We won't try an un-enforceable come for a long time yet (at least another six months of training it on a long line), but so far, he's done great. Both for "come" (our command) and "here" (our request). It takes *a lot* of time to train that one to use it as the life-saving, emergency recall that is ideal. (If he doesn't outgrow his puppy ADD very quickly, he might not be 2 until we test him off lead on come. ;) )

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @thejayland10, Do you still consume dairy?  Dairy can cause increased tTg IgA levels in some people with celiac disease who react to casein, the protein in dairy, just like to gluten.   You might try cutting out the processed gluten free foods.  Try a whole foods, no carbohydrate Paleo diet instead, like the AIP diet (the Autoimmune Protocol Diet by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself). Processed gluten free foods can be full of excess carbohydrates which can alter your microbiome leading to Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  SIBO is found in some people who are not responding to a gluten free diet.  SIBO can elevate tTg IgA levels.  The AIP diet cuts out sources of carbohydrates like rice, potatoes (nightshades), quinoa, peas, lentils, legumes, which starves out the SIBO bacteria.  Better bacteria can then proliferate.   I followed the AIP diet to get rid of my SIBO.  It's a strict diet, but my digestive tract had time to rest and heal.  I started feeling better within a few days.  Feeling improvement so soon made sticking to the AIP diet much easier. References: Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth among patients with celiac disease unresponsive to a gluten free diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7759221/   Luminal antigliadin antibodies in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9260801/#:~:text=Luminal total IgA concentrations (p,response to local bacterial antigens.   Potato glycoalkaloids adversely affect intestinal permeability and aggravate inflammatory bowel disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12479649/

      New to gluten free living, in5ro and small question

      By trents · Posted

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears down the "villi" (mucosal finger-like projections that make up the lining). Over a significant period of time as gluten continues to be consumed, this generally results in impaired nutrient absorption. There are specific blood antibody tests available to check for celiac disease but the testing will not be valid while on a reduced gluten diet or a gluten free diet. Those already having having begun a gluten free diet must go back to consuming generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks if they wish to pursue testing for celiac disease. Fourth, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Fifth, you state that you are convince you don't have celiac disease by are just "gluten intolerant" (aka, gluten sensitive). How do you know that? It seems to me you are making a dangerous assumption here. I suggest you consider getting formally tested for celiac disease.

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By AllyJR · Posted

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten intolerant,  I looked it up and had every one of 8 or so symptoms listed. Bloating,  weight gain,  headaches, brain fog,  constipation, etc etc. I took the decision to give going gluten free a try. Within 1 week I had lost 4 lb, now 7 weeks in I've lost 13 lb. I feel much better in general,  the bloating has severely subsided, it used to keep me awake at night as I felt so uncomfortable.  So pretty much a success story, as everyone here knows,  going gluten free isn't always easy, and eating out can be awkward,  but I consider myself lucky that I appear to have an intolerance rather than an allergy or being celiac.  I can deal with most of the gluten free options at the supermarket but, the big one for me is bread, I love bread, and the gluten free options I've tried are pretty poor. I was at a posh black tie event last night and chose all the food options I thought would be gluten free,  however,  there was bread on the table and I couldn't resist it, I had I small piece of bread,  god it was good, I wanted more but I resisted. Today I feel a bit dodgy, my stomach is churning, and I generally feel a bit urgh.  So here's the question, is that really down to 1 small piece of bread or is it coincidence?  I'd be interested in hearing how other people have reacted to a similar situation,  as I was considering having a day off every now and then and enjoying some lovely fresh bread.
