    ditto to the previous post. If/when it happens - come here for hugs, support and empathy. Both my kids are celiac and I have made some oopsies along the way. Live and learn. Never assume anything - I made the mistake of thinking - since regular skittles were gluten free - all of them were. Til I read the label on Skittles littles (Canada) - wheat ....

    This video is heartwrenching but worth watching - it deal with the so called "pit bull problem" and shows the good and the bad .......of the people that own dogs and the diffrence the right owner can make to a dog Open Original Shared Link

    Many valid points made. I am an Animal Health Technologist. I have been charged agrressively by all different breeds ......... small ones, big ones. Nature plays a role but the way a dog is raised has lot to do with their disposition. That said..ANY dog is capable of biting. Most of the time is is not an attack - kids pulling at the dogs tail, feet ears...

    What upsets me on behalf of these little ones - is the attitude towards celiac. If the child was diabetic or had a peanut allergy - they would be watching that kid !! My children are older and able to understand what gluten does to them - so they can "talk back" whne offered something with gluten. the teachers all seem to take it seriously as well. Correct...

    Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and hugs! {{{{{{ HUGS}}}}}} right back He is booked for Nov 8th, they inject the radioisotope and then we hang around for 2 hours, then they scan. I usually stress out for a few days thinking of what they might find - then I remind myself - they want to rule out a tumour not confirm it. Big difference. ...

    HI guys, I have been skulking around, trying to distract myself answering some posts on different threads. This is the only place i knew to come to....I cant talk to my family cause they already think I am a worry wort over everything. sigh..... Matt has been having problems off and on with leg pain, they xrayed him last Monday... doc's office calls...

    umm, hmm I am confused too -watch and wait for what? If rabies is endemic in the area and local health dept has concerns - go with their advice. If symptoms of rabies develop - umm, too late. Chances are very low that a stray kitten has rabies - it depends on # cases seen annually. If animals have the "vicious" form and are biting - they are also acting...

    hI, I am an Animal Health Technologist. Good advice by all so far. Any animal bite near a joint (like anywhere on the hand) should be examined - at the very least, as others have said...contact your doctor. Rabies would be low on my list because cats bite when frightened - esp kittens trying to caught. BUT any advice re: rabies should come form local...

    E coli had many species - it can be the deadly strain that causes food poisoning. the normal flora that is in your gut, or the one that got from your intestine to your bladder through a little travelling from rectum to urethra..... E coli strains are also used to manufacture human insulin after genetic manipulation by some researcher.. The same e.coli cultured...

    What kind of digestive enzymes would you be interested in taking? There are enzymes for panreatic insufficiency. They are needed when the part of the pancreas that produces enzymes does not work. They are very expensive and not needed if pancreas works fine. Are there others who have tried enzymes and felt they helped?

    This is the link - it is in pdf format. It's an administrative policy. The way its worded - it initally looks like it only covers anaphylaxis. BUT read the first page - it includes "certain foods" that cause life threatening illness . They do not have a policy specific to celiac cause then they would have to have list of specific illnesses and they would...

    i wanted to add this for parents with celiac kids. It is part of the response I snet. Kids with celiac should be covered under administrative policies. They are covered under the School Act already, at least here in Alberta. We are in the Livingstone Range School division. Because it is not a learning disorder but a food related illness - the responsibility...

    Good posts here The eye is definitely the window to our body - many systemic illnesses have subtle [and not so subtle]changes in the eye that reflect a disease process. Autoimmune disease like celiac and any of the 60 other immune conditions can impact the eye. Malabsorbtion and resulting deficiencies of things like riboflavin or selenium can present...

    in a word ....no. Not too worry. Gluten is broken down into amino acids - the meat is muscle and no intact gluten gets into bloodstream - marshmallows are from gelatin which originates from beef - and I will not give up crispy rice squares Ok so last part was weak attempt at humour, grain fed beef, chicken etc will not contain gluten

    This is a great site on gastritis: Open Original Shared Link There is a form of autoimmune gastritis. In that sense - it is not caused by celiac and the only relation is that both conditions are immune mediated and if you have one autoimmune condition, you are more likely to have another.

    Frequent urination has many causes. Frequent ruination of samll amounts indicate bladder irritation- if accompanied by discomfort - then usually points toward infection/inflammation. If no discomfort - irritated bowel, reproductive issues (menstruation, fibromas ect) can irritates the bladder from inside the abdomen. In malabsorbtion diseases - certain...

    The key is how fast you drink it. Rapid drinking of a large amount of water causes cells to swell with fluid (the brain being the most vulnerable), electrolytes get screwed up - affecting the heart rate. The kidneys are fine tuned organs that can balance water intake and get rid of the extra - if they have time to do it. Drinking 8 x 8 oz glasses of water...

    Maybe, it depends on how others respond. I see that it created some responses about why we have signatures etc. That is a good thing for newbies to see. It is one person's reality, one person's opinion.
  23. 2kids4me
    I am glad you post when you can. It sounds like you have alot of knowledge to offer. The choice to post various issues (in a signature)is a personal one and lots of members do not have signatures listing everything. For me - I am not a newbie at autoimmune disease and dont believe everything is related to celiac. I do understand how many without a medical...

    I cant begin to tell you how this forum has helped me - I too would forget someone! It seems that no matter what issue you struggle with or deal with - someone here will post and say "me too" or I know what that's like -and they really do. I always felt alone in dealing with multiple issues and each time a new diagnosis came up - some family member or friend...

    My son has struggled with it off an on... we just figured out that it is related to 2 things - lactose and consitipation. Our daughter just started going lactose free and as an experiment we had son go lactose free..he decided he didnt have to worry so he went back on regular milk etc. Lo and behold but his "wet toots" [as he calls them] returned withing...
