Our New Kitties

So, my 18.5 year old tabby, Kitty, died in Feb 2010. All my symptoms of celiac started about 2 weeks after that. It was so horrible when he died, I wonder if that actually was the impetus for the celiac.

We got him a week after we got married in 1991, he was such a part of our family.

So the months passed and I thought I would never get another cat until I started browsing the local humane society website and found Bucky (who we renamed Dexter)in Sept 2010. He is a GORGEOUS orange tabby, so soft and plush. I call him the healer of hearts and bodies, I am sure focusing on him helped me to not focus on me so much. Anyway, he is hysterical:

A month ago we were buying toys for Dex at Petsmart and met an orange kitten for adoption called....DEXTER! So, he came home with us and is now called Jeremy. He too is a scream:

The boys seem to get along, they sleep together and groom each other. Little healers :)

I can just imagine what happens when you try to dust. Thanks for giving me the best laughs I have had in days.

I love orange kitties and these are hilarious! Nothing funnier than cats and boxes.

Mine fetch toys when they feel like it but I haven't been able to get them to do anything worthwhile like dusting. tongue.gif

Thanks for sharing!!! :D . They are cute and fun! I agree--they are little healers. I shared my story of Bella (in another thread ):> ) She was a kitty in need, but frankly, she has been my gift and companion and healer too!

She does this weird drag thing with her body along the floor---sort of like dusting!!??--and she even does under the bed LOL LOL

They are a hoot, these furry babes...enjoy your little guys!!!

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
