I have to go out soon and shovel. Commounity services for the blind is coming tomorrow. They pick up useful household items, toys and clothing that we no longer need. Have to put out trash, if they will pick it up! They still have not plowed the streets near where I live.

I was worried about my friend, but she is staying with her son who lives near where she works.

My parents did not buy much food and now they are stuck at home like we are. Husband did walk to drugstore so if we really needed something, he could go get it.

We've got about five inches of snow at our house, but I have an Outback (and even have chains for it for icy conditions, just in case), so my husband was able to get to work. If Daphne wakes up before it gets dark, I might walk over to the store - we're lucky that it's can be a pretty short walk (~5-10min) if we shortcut through our backyard. It's looking like we aren't going to have the warming/refreezing thing that had previously been in the forecast for Wednesday (it's just going to stay cold), which at least means that we won't have the horrid, horrid ice conditions that could have occurred.

I hope you guys don't have to go out much!

My mom called and said we'll do Thanksgiving on Fri. So I'm redoing our meals. Chicken stew tomorrow. Lil Smokies in BBQ sauce for Thanksgiving, Thu. I can do those in the crockpot while I bake. Chicken is still partially frozen so that will have to be done on the stove.

Had no power all day yesterday. The house gets really cold when it's 20 degrees outside. :o Ended up going to a friends house for the night.

Not good! We do have heat, but it's not enough. Had ice in th kitchen greenhouse window last night. Am going to bake a small cake now. The heat from the oven will help.

We had about 8" of snow at our house and it got down to 13º F (10.5º C) last night. It is 24º F (4º C) at our house right now. Fortunately we have a wood stove and it is nice and toasty at home.

We were on a HWY 12 in central WA and there was a little coupe that had skidded off the road. It was -3F and we were out there trying to dig and push the car out. The lady had 2 teenage sons and a new baby in the back seat :o 2 big trucks showed up and one had a tow chain, thank goodness! We were out there for at least a 1/2 hour before we got them pulled out. The lowest we saw on our trip was -7F and when we HAD to stop at a rest station, it was -5F! Soooo happy it was 47 here today!!

Glad y'all are safe and sound!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
