But we're fine.

Very relieved to hear that, Sarah! We saw some of it on the news early this morning--very scary.

Glad you had a good day yesterday :D

Wow, Sarah! :o

We usually get your tornado/hurricane news quite promptly up here, but I heard nothing of it this morning - - I'm so glad that you guys and your property are okay.

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there....Which states were hit?

North Carolina and Virginia were both hit really hard last night. We've been watching the coverage, both local and on MSNBC, and I cannot believe how freaking lucky we are. There were two tornadoes on either side of us, one really close, but we got missed. :blink: If anyone watches MSNBC, when they show the aerial footage of Greensboro, that's the section that Brian's building is in. They're just now letting a few building owners into the area.

Yeah, I miss Janet-- where did she go?!

Neither one can be allowed to achieve alpha-dog position. At all times, the alpha-dog must be a sentient biped. You are the clear first choice for this role. If you can dominate the quadrupeds in the house, you may eventually be able to dominate the other bipeds. :ph34r:

:lol: :lol: sentient biped - - that cracked me up!!!!!!! <um, there IS no sentient biped around here :huh: >

Gads! Tornadoes! How scary. So much power and destruction with no control (kinda like adding a new animal into your existing complement :P ).

Alpha biped! Not in my house.

Sarah, happy late birthday!! Glad you all are OK!!

Janet's in Indiana, I think...just a couple of states from you, and we haven't heard from her in a few days. Hope everything is okay there...

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . . lots of dr appts for the kids . . . everything is OK there, too, just plugging along trying to figger out my son's growth issues. I saw a therapist yesterday. My son will start seeing him to help him deal with his anxiety over medical procedures. If he doesn't start packing on some weight soon, they'll start the elimination testing (to make sure it's not <fill in the blank>) to clear him to go on the human growth hormone. Hopefully, the therapist will teach him some relaxation/calming/coping skills.

But the real mess going on right now is at our elementary school . . . big fight with the school board . . . totally useless principal . . . PTO president is fed up and quit . . . lots and lots of meetings and highly emotional emailing.

Love all the new avs . . . I don't think Mr Chow and I look alike at all!!!

My daughter got in trouble at school this week for whining. I asked her what she was whining about and she answered . . . "We were suppose to be writing nice things about our moms and I couldn't think of anything!" . . . :huh:. . . :o . . . <_< . . . :lol:

Then, last night I made fried chicken for supper. We probably should have had baked chicken but my son likes fried chicken better and I just want him to EAT!!! So the whole meal he kept complaining that the chicken "didn't taste too good" . . . "something was wrong with it." After about a half a dozen of comments like those, Hubby told him to give it a rest. I'm reaaaalllllly looking forward to this mother's day.

OH NO SHE DIDN'T!!!! :lol: Omg, that's so cold, you gotta laugh. Sounds like something Ezra would say. :rolleyes:

I have to admit, I am surprised that your son didn't have a growth spurt after going gluten-free. I really thought he would. Keep us updated!

Yes....could be rather tornado-like in this house over the next weeks.....

...Where to put that bloody second dog bed? There is room in the bathtub.... <_<

Yes, everything is OK here. Just lots going on . . .

Hey! Janet's here....with a full plate! Heinous school issues, DS's growth curve - - that's just yucky. At least there's lots of action in the medical community, trying to figger out why your little guy isn't thriving. Has he been gluten-free long enough for the diet to be considered ineffective? You must keep us in the loop!

Heading off right now to take MY DS to an allergist...Jack's had chronic congestion for a million years, off and on, but mostly on. Doesn't seem to correspond with anything seasonal. He's had negative allergy tests to everything enviornmental and all foodstuffs. So, hopefully this specialist will shed some light. I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

. . . in the dryer? . . . would be nice and cozy warm in there!!

He is actually no longer gluten free. He was gluten-free for about 7 months. His growth rate actually slowed down during the diet (he is a major bread-aholic). He did not compensate for the bread calories removed. He just did without (with a fair amount of complaining). I think the GI was the most dissappointed. That was a hey-nus appt though. The GI's what-all-possible-things-that-could-be-wrong-but-shouldn't-say-out-loud-because-it-is-sooooo-unlikely-and-it-will-freak-out-the-parents filter was not working.

I'm SO TIRED of hearing him sniffle and snort....and I believe his teachers are, as well.... :rolleyes:

Can't stand this sound!!! I am likely to scream from the other side of the house . . . BLOW YOUR NOSE!!!!!

Sarah, please tell me that the dog in your av has had those puppies!!!! OMGAWD!!!! That poor dog!!! It doesn't look like she could even walk in that condition!!

:lol: That pic is actually from last year. She is pregnant again right now and due in a few weeks. The pic in my av was taken just a couple days before she gave birth, and yeah she couldn't walk much at that point. Her belly dragged the ground. :o My friend is a small breeder, and she dotes on that dog like you wouldn't believe. Don't worry :lol: she gets carried everywhere toward the end of her pregnancies!

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

From my BIL . . .

When I say I'm broke, I AM BROKE

A little old lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be

confronted by a well-dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.

"Good morning," said the young man..

"If I could take a couple of minutes of your time, I would like to

demonstrate the very latest in high-powered vacuum cleaners."

"Go away!" said the old lady. "I'm broke and haven't got any

money!" and she proceeded to close the door.

Quick as a flash, the young man wedged his foot in the door and

pushed it wide open.

"Don't be too hasty!" he said. "Not until you have at least seen

my demonstration."

And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure onto her hallway

carpet.

"If this vacuum cleaner does not remove all traces of this horse

manure from your carpet, Madam, I will personally eat the remainder."

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

It's posts. Fifteen to a page, I believe. Ptaoughmn's the one who knows all this stuff - - the guy who's sweeter than a caress.... :lol::lol:

So, how do we get Rachel into Sillyville to ramp up our page numbers? Is she very Silly? does she have photogenic neighboUrs?

I should go get a pic of her when she's not pregnant, so you guys can see how pretty she is!

OMG....

You think that little dog transforms when pregnant....I was SO scary as a pregnant woman...((((shudder))).....huge, hair falling out, dark circles....I'll be sure to put one of them pics up......Gaaaaaaaahhhhh....................

The old lady stepped back and said, "Well let me get you a fork,

'cause they cut off my electricity this morning."

Travelling vacuum-cleaner salesmen...gotta luv 'em. Where are they all now? They seem to be an extinct breed. Anybody have one come to their door in the last...thirty years?

      Sprouts packaged roasted, salted nuts - says "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      I never buy any nuts from a facility that processes wheat. It’s not worth the risk. Surprisingly, Trader Joe’s nuts do not come a factory that processes wheat, and I do not react to them. I am sensitive to gluten.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process.

You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?
