Good Worm-free morning, Psills! (Have SO often wanted to greet friends with this salutation, but have never had a time that fit.. ..!) :huh::lol:

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but.............then what is wrong with Charlie????

Nothing is wrong wif 'im, thank gawd. :wub: The heartworm test is given every two years to make certain the disease is not present, so that preventative meds can continue (apparently it can be dangerous for dogs to be on the preventative if they have heartworms already present). So, a sudden positive appeared, completely by surprise. As the day wore on after this, I was truly beginning to worry, as symptoms of the illness do not appear until things are advanced, and Charles does have a couple of symptoms -- he coughs and gags at times, something I was, correctly I know now, attributing to the scar tissue from his devocalization. He also has some laboured breathing after running, another possible heartworm symptom.

SOoOooooO, what a relief.

Yes, whot in hell are these li'l things? Inulin -- think this might be baaaaaaad stuff. Super-refined food additive, is it not? Used as a sweetener... . .. ..... ..like sucrose. . .... . .must do some reading.

YAY! Some reading about something other than heartworms!

I'm so happy your baby is ok! I can't believe people devocalize dogs. can you say obedience school?!?!?!

I believe inulin is a food based fiber additive. Used in yogurt?

Robotics is going well so far. Some guest in the hotel kept complaining about the kids. They were asleep for hours and he kept calling the desk to complain. Robot working well so far.

Glad to hear it's going well!

I joined Weight Watchers this week. I have a bet with a friend that I would lose 25 pounds by October 1st. It was made last October and so far I have lost nada . . . so I figured if I want to have any sort of chance, I better get started. Soooooooooo, Jess, what are these fruity fiber crunchies of which you speak? :rolleyes:

Good for you, I know a lot of people who have had great results from WW. I've always wanted to try it!

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days)

Yeah!!! Don't wait for it, just go with it ;)

FALSE POSITIVE!!!!!

WooHoooooooo!!!!

that's fan*f&@#ing*tastic!!!!!

Tru Dat!!

EXACTLY. :angry: :angry:

Any dog can be trained to keep the barking to an absolute minimum. This horrendous butchering of the dog's larynyx causes a compromised airway and very often behavioral issues, things that we are having to deal with in Charles' "rehab". These dogs cannot communicate, so they are often nervous, pushy and deal day-to-day with the stress of having the inability to make ANY sound. He is coming along slowly... . . quite a project.

But at least he has Elsie in place, a very competent and willing interpreter. Charles will go to the window and make his pitiful, gasping attempt at a bark, and Elsie moves in immediately right beside him, conveying his doggie-message... . . . .... :rolleyes::lol:

Oh Thank Gawd!!! My reign is over!!! I thought it would never end!!! . . . Oh, and a congratulations to you Rayshell. Ummmm . . . tis a wonderful honoUr . . . no problems really . . . quite a joy . . . :rolleyes:

Oh . . . forgot to mention . . . no vomitous episodes from Skeeter for the last two weeks (although I am expecting one within the next few days).

So within 24 hours of this post . . . both the dog and Smackl have vomitted!!!! (Skeeter's still good, though). I'm not worried about Smackl. I think he got a bad corn dog at the school lunch. JoDog, however, had another seizure last night. This is the second one that I know of and it's been quite a while (9 months?). It wasn't as bad either. She and I took a really long walk last night and I'm kind of worried that I pushed her over some limit. I didn't take her to the vet because last time they just did a bunch of blood tests that came back fine and said that happens sometimes and they won't do anything about it (medication) unless it happens a lot (weekly). She does have her annual appt coming up so I'll bring it up then unless she has another before then.

ALL HAIL HER MAJESTY, QUEEN RAY SHELL!!!!

(who seems to have gone into hiding after her coronation)

Does the crown not fit, your majesty? Is the train too long? - we can call the royal dressmakers. Is the sceptre too heavy??? Are the robes a bit grubby and smelly from Skeeter's vomitousness and need a bit of drycleaning??

Do let us know how we can help your majesty adjust to her royal duties :lol:

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
