Hey Addy, I know there are some nasty fires in your area. If you get a chance, let us know you're OK. I hope you haven't been evacuated, and I hope the smoke is not so thick you can't breathe. (((((HUGS)))))

All fine here. One of the worst is up near Park City, which I'm nowhere near. That is all touristy and such, I've actually never even been there. There is another relatively bad one that is all the way out near Tooele, so the middle of nowhere, but we can see the smoke all the way down here near Orem. It was pretty thick and brown yesterday when we headed up towards American Fork for an errand. There is a third that is the closest down in Spanish Fork canyon but we can't see the smoke from it here and that is still relatively far out. None are close enough that they could be a threat to us here.

 

I am watching closely though for new fires and such. Keeping enough gas in my Jeep for an emergency evacuation without a pit stop. Checked our go bags, made sure we have bottled water in our cars, all that. I'm not too worried unless something starts near Provo canyon or something, we're close enough to the mouth of that for it to get scary and fast. There are plenty of recommendations for people close to fires to stay indoors if they aren't evacuated. The air gets pretty bad pretty fast.

 

My husband works close to where a fire was last year up in Saratoga Springs. I had to run something up to him last week on a rather windy day. It is terrible up there, the dust was blowing off the hills and it was so bad it looked like a wall of dirt. I got the hell out of there as fast as I could, it kept getting worse and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see to drive soon.

Glad to hear it! This morning as I woke up it was the first thing I heard on the radio and I thought of you right away.

 

It has RAINED here almost every night this summer! Haven't had to worry about fires at all. What a relief! There has even been some minor flooding, like the night last week when we got six inches in five hours. No one is complaining though. :)

That's a lot of rain! I wish we could get some rain that doesn't come with lightning. If you guys get sick of it, send it this way. I swear, most of the people here don't even know what rain is. Sometimes they call things I wouldn't even deem worthy of the word "sprinkle" rain. :rolleyes:

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By lsky · Posted

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
