We are thinking about gettin one since now that I have gone gluten free I am not allergic! YEA! :lol: We live in a small house with a fair yard ( but pestisided unfourtunately, I wouldnt take him/her out there though :unsure: ) We have been reasearching dwarf rabbits for a while now, and we think we have the correct home for one. We were hoping to find an extremely small one that was litterbox trained. I need to know how you would go about getting electrical wires away from the little one. I also wanted to know if there was a gluten free rabbit pellet or if they could just live off of veggies, fruits and timothy hay. I also wanted a few good tips about having one. :D

I've been on vacation or I would have responded sooner. I had a rabbit when we lived in a small townhouse. Great pet. They need time out of cage but need to be confined if you are not there. We pushed the furniture up against the wall so he couldn't get the wires behind them. I'm not sure what was in the pellets but mostly alfalfa or timothy hay. Timothy hay is better for adults as alfalfa has a lot of calcium for young buns if I remember right. Mine wasn't a fan of most fruit, but they do love veggies. Don't give watery things like iceburg lettuce or the red part of watermelon. Where we live there are rabbit rescue groups that can help you, too. We made a large enough cage to fit a litter box & give him room to move. No wire bottom as that is uncomfortable for little bun feet. He figured out how to open the cage & it took 2 or 3 different tries to find a closure he couldn't open. They love sweets like chocolate or cinnamon liquor (would lick the drips on the bottle on the bottom shelf.) I'm not saying to give that to him/her but as a warning. We took him out in our tiny yard to eat the grass but didn't put anything on the grass. Tried to eat any flowers I planted. Good luck!

We are thinking about adopting 2 dwarf rabbits for my kids to do 4H showing.

We only had our previous rabbit out when were able to watch him. They really are little fur balls of personality and fun. He loved bananas.

They have some listed on www. petfinder .com but the adoption prices are really high.

Good luck with your bun bun! :D

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
