Mark's wee room? Thought you were moving into an apartment? I am confoozled.

It's confuzzling to me too :lol: Mark's been living up here in a guest house during the work week since early May, driving down to south Jersey on the weekends, where I've been staying at my son's house since early July when I moved up from Houston. :blink: We are moving into our (brand) new apartment Tuesday--it's about 10 minutes from here. Can nae wait to sleep in me own bed again :D

She flew out here for THIS:

Open Original Shared Link

She has been an "athlete" in the Canada Senior Games for about ten years, now. This year she won the gold medal in the Predicted Walk.

:)

Most importantly, this means that she has been in Brockville for most of her visit out east - - she's only in Ottawa for three days.... ..

And here I was wondering if she played hockey or contract bridge :ph34r: And she really hasn't been there much, so that helps. Half the sympathy withdrawn, especially since she's not a hockey player :lol:

Was wondering if Nik would comment on #5. Do they still use cobbler in polite conversation? Or even not so polite?

Em, did the MIL just show up at the door? Couldn't you pretend you weren't home? Had gone on vacation? Moved? Died?

Keep drinking and try to be in another room. That is my strategy for my FIL and his wife. Maybe the kids and the dogs can take her for many walks? That puppy could go for hours!

Quick pop-in. We live in interesting times. Personnel issues at the store are keeping us both challenged. We are losing one for sure--she is going to university out of town in less than a week. Another, who has just come back from family-related leave, needs to cut back on her availability as school demands increase. We are hiring, and have more applications than we have ever seen in a decade in business. We are down to a short list of two, but can't decide between them. Trying to line up another interview with each of them. Got one on for Wednesday; the other hasn't returned the call yet (not sure if the human who took the message can remember to deliver it).

Hub has hired many people in HR. He said if you have 2 you really like, you can't make a bad decision. He also said, decide what is most important - the ability to do the job really well or a personality friendly fit. Some times in small offices, personality fit is more important than how well they can do the job. Also, I know that when I have interviewed people the second time, they relax and weird sh&& comes out. Had a girl I was ready to hire. Had been working as a temp with us. Asked her why she was fired from previous job - for stealing! Stuff had been missing from others purses and desks at our office, too.

I was asked in an interview what I liked on my pizza? Pizza day was very important and my tastes needed to fir with theirs. I like black olives so I got the job.

Man, would I hire somebody who puts black olives on their pizza?...... . . . . ..

Absolutely. Not even a question. And the individuals who say green peppers? Sorry, we have nothing for you at this time. :huh::lol:

I must remember this. . . . . . ....I do NOT order the black olive option when getting pizza, but I sure as hell will lie about that if I am ever again interviewed for a job... . ....

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with your son's health journey, and it's understandable that you're seeking answers and solutions. Given the complexity of his symptoms and medical history, it might be beneficial to explore a few avenues: Encourage your son to keep a detailed journal of his symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, any triggers or patterns, and how they impact his daily life. This information can be valuable during medical consultations and may help identify correlations or trends. Consider seeking opinions from specialized medical centers or academic hospitals that have multidisciplinary teams specializing in gastrointestinal disorders, especially those related to Celiac disease and Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE). These centers often have experts who deal with complex cases and can offer a comprehensive evaluation. Since you've already explored alternative medicine with a nutrition response doctor and a gut detox diet, you may want to consider consulting a functional medicine practitioner. They take a holistic approach to health, looking at underlying causes and imbalances that may contribute to symptoms. Given his low vitamin D levels and other nutritional markers, a thorough nutritional assessment by a registered dietitian or nutritionist specializing in gastrointestinal health could provide insights into any deficiencies or dietary adjustments that might help alleviate symptoms. In addition to routine tests, consider asking about more specialized tests that may not be part of standard screenings. These could include comprehensive stool analyses, food intolerance testing, allergy panels, or advanced imaging studies to assess gut health.
