    ok you guys , send some warm weather up here! On top of the cold sanp and frigid wind chills, I have to walk everywhere including walking the kids to school all bundled up so they get there safe. Dearest hubby smashed up his truck (no one hurt, thank goodness) and is using my car to get to his job. I am cold to the bone and wrapped in blanket...

    2kids4me replied to Marlene's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Pain under the ribcage can be caused by a number of different systems - from liver and/or gallbladder issues, large intestine spasms in the tranverse colon, or epigastric pain (stomach/low esophagus), and then pain can sometimes be "referred" - you feel pain in one spot but its originating from somewhere else. Mention the symptoms to your doctor and have...

    My children are examples of his theory - since going gluten free, they stopped developing further autoimmune disorders. Altought the diabetes was diagnosed first in my son, it is clear that he had symptoms (joint pain and occasional stomach aches) of celiac PRIOR to that point, supported by the severe damage noted on his biopsy. If the celiac had not been...

    I hear ya, I bundled up in my layers to take the dog out, put on ski pants to block the wind as well. Katie (pictured - she's the bigger one) was running around in "speed circles" scooping up snow in her mouth and being rather silly. She was grateful to come inside the house after it was all over. I think I will be okay for at elast 6 hours til I have...

    The anesthesiologist will determine if there will be any additional risk. if he is going under general anesthesia - they likely will not do it if a fever is present. Also if secretions are present (stuffy nose /cough) they may not want to do it. Call and talk to the nurse (there are anesthesia nurses) and discuss any concerns - and also discuss what happens...

    We use Norton as well - automatic upsdates and no problems from here. Norton has updates once or twice a week - if you havent updated in the last 14 days - you should know that there have been a bunch of new viruses and updates. It may seem as if it came from this site but it is actually a weakness in the browser:

    I find it interesting that someone can be vegetarian - no one bats an eye - a vegan - or following some crazy fad diet of grapefruit all day - or remember the ketone diet?, all the rage despite the fact oyu were starving and thus the ketones. So someone finds out that eliminating gluten and/or other foods (without an "official diagnosis") helps correct...

    Actually another case of: it cant be....when maybe it is.. My son whom we recently discovered is lactose intolerant gets consitpated from milk, his sister Kathryn had classic symptoms - nausea, diarrhea. Doctors had been suggesting Matt wasnt eating enough fiber (when he was - beans, raw veggies, fruit, drinking water)... Constipation in reaction to...

    If you feel better on the diet and eliminating gluten helps - go for it!! My daughter was overweight - looked pregnant and puffy faced at 11... fatigue and migraines. She has slimmed out - the bloated "pregnant" look is gone! Her butt and legs slimmed out and all we did was go gluten free, we did get the diagnosis first but you dont need one to go gluten...

    mY daughter gets a deep red rash followed by excema if she touches wheat flour - found that out when the class did school project and made paper mache masks. She came home from school and her hands were red, she had blotches anywhere she had scratched herself with her glutened hands. You can't get villous atrophy from coming into contact with it - but it...

    I have so totally been where you are - some days I want to find a cocoon to hide in or go somewhere else. For me it was something minor that sent me into room bawling - but that was after 6 months of "which kid is sickest and needs to be seen first?" June 2003- Kathryn diagnosed with Kawasaki and was sick the rest of the summer, she was starting to feel...

    Any thyroid test on its own is useless. TSH Free T4 T3 thyroid binding globulin (TBG). Thyroid Peroxidase antibodies Interpretations of the TSH level depends upon the level of thyroid hormone; therefore, the TSH is usually used in combination with other thyroid tests such as the T4 RIA and T3 RIA. RIA = radioimmunoassay The finding of a...

    You can have premature atrial beats induced by fatigue or stress. I get them and have had them recorded on an ECG, it is 'benign" - meaning there is no heart disease. I'll be doing stuff or just sitting and then - pound, normal beats - pound - pound - normal for several beats - this can go on for minutes or for 8 hours What are really felt are not...

    Does this mean he has tested your TSH ? There are other causes for feeling cold and tired. (low B12, hypothyroid, adrenal problems, reproductive hormone imbalance - "perimenopause")For myself, I am hypothryoid and on meds. I feel absolutely frozen during PMS time and walk around bundled up, then once hormones settle - I am fine, but then tired for a bit...

    we had some damage to eavestrough, other houses had shingles blown off, one tree toppled into a garage. We had semis everywhere parked in town.. at least 5 were in the ditch to the west and south of us... so when truckers got here - they stopped! They always push the door to door cause it increases sales = more money to the big guys. We did pretty good...

    We just recently discovered Kathryn was lactose intolerant (she's 13), she has been gluten free for 3 years and I thought for awhile she was getting glutened somewhere, nausea, stomach aches, decreased appetite. I omitted dairy for several days then gave her some milk - she was sick within hours, so then (with great advice on this board), I waited til she...

    Thank you everyone - so good to share great news! Linda - you mean you guys didnt have enough fun selling popcorn? AND that the wind wont be blowing either - the other day, I thought our railings were going to blow off, the school flagpole snapped and I tried to walk my dog (nature calls) and she was getting buffeted around. I only have to camp...

    GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bone scan normal! So the part of his femur that looked abnormal is not "active" whcih means he must have, at some point in the past banged his thigh hard enough to cause a bit of bone reaction. Not sure when, but he IS a boy! YEAH We are off to a fall camp with scouts this weekend - yes, camping in tents, gotta remember...

    Cattle by their nature were intended to forage and eat grasses and legumes. I found some information and it was interesting as you will note that the first site I quote - says corn is superior. Yet information form the second contradicts that. From experience - grains cause bloat issues. Grass fed beef in this area need supplemental magnesium and selenium...

    He may be referring to euthyroid sick syndrome: There is a condition called euthyroid sick syndrome - it occurs when someone is sick - usually an inflammatory condition (like celiac, or viral illnesses like influenza, etc.) The TSH will be elevated and T4 levels low - during the illness and for a time afterward, or in an undiagnosed celiac, until gluten...

    Good questions, I hope I found the answers re: other animals with gluten issues - I have only ever found literature about celiac in the Irish Setter, but several owners have reported animals with gastrointestinal symptoms and rashes clear up with gluten free pet food. Food allergies in pets are common indeed - wheat, egg, dairy top the list. NOD...
