Watching SNL. Got an idea for Russell's costume. The girl said she went last year wrapped in cellophane. She was a left-over.

Hmmm. Was the cellophane the only thing she was wrapped in? That certainly would be an attention-getter. :ph34r:

Phamily phun around here. MIL broke her hip and/or femur on Friday and is in hospital. She underwent surgery yesterday evening. As you may recall, she has dementia. She keeps trying to get out of bed, so she has been restrained. The four children are taking turns mom sitting, since she can't feed herself with the restraints on. Jacquie is doing her daughterly duty as I type this.

O......M......G!!!! You TOTALLY spelled me name wrong!

Ahhhhh. . ..welcome to Psillyville, dear one... . . . .....;)

(((((((sigh)))))))) Yes.... . . . ... . . . ...moms are hard. :( and :exhaustedface:

But they are SO worth it.

POeter, I'm thinking about you and Jacquie, and your poor MIL. A hospital is such an unhappy, stressful place to be when old and sick. And it ain't great for the support system/advocates, either... .. . . ....hang in there!

The whole concept of dating as an adult is so bizarre. We discuss our parents and house renovations. I don't think tv or favorite band has come up once. :rolleyes: "Getting to know each other" consists of comparing commute times and refinance experiences. Could there be anything more dull to talk about?

Actually, yes.

The fact that a kid needs a parent to get his laundry out so kid can do his.

The need to water the lawn tomorrow.

Who's taking the kid to Scouts.

See...dating is exciting. Feel free to use any of these topics on your date.

MIL update. J is back and tells me that her mother is on some SERIOUS pain meds after the surgery which are affecting her judgement. She is as high as a kite and is experiencing an escape from reality (can I get some of the stuff?). Anywho, the catheter and IV are expected to be removed tomorrow, along with the restraints.

If you're talking about Russell, she went to the beach with the relatives she liked and none of the ones she didn't. She put a pic of Max on the beach on FB.

Unless there's another Rachelle? :huh:

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
