:) Yes, thank you all for a great fun evening on here!! Here's a bedtime prayer for you all:

Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll beat him to death. AMEN.

lonewolf, I don't know where you live, but you do know that the coyotes can jump an 8" fence. And if they run in packs, they are not afraid of humans and would take your puppy away from you. So, that is great that you left him at home. But, the packs also will run in the daytime, not just at night. We have a pack running about 3 miles from us and since they move around, I am extra cautious when my toy poodle goes out.

Oh, we posted at the same time and I didn't see this. Now that I'm done laughing, I'm scared for my little guy. We used to live by about 100 acres of woods, but they've all been bulldozed down and new houses put in over the past 18 months. We have rats, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, squirrels and coyotes all displaced and over-running our long-standing neighborhood with large yards and lots of trees. First, the raccoons ate our chickens, then rats got into everyone's houses, then we started smelling skunks quite often. Now we keep seeing coyotes right on our street. First about a 20 pound pup several times, then a small adult, and then last night I saw a huge male.

We have a 5 foot high fence and I thought Buddy would be safe. I guess we'll keep him inside unless we are out with him. I know the coyotes have been in our yard, but I hadn't thought about them jumping the fence - we don't always close the gates.

Just got back inside from letting out a few good howls at the moon...... :rolleyes:;)

<_<:rolleyes:B)

yeah well....don't think that would offend - - just don't mention ANYTHING about religion lately...oops - keep that off here! we have a nice, happy, silly thread!

Then he had to tell me to stop laughing as he can't hear the football game.

Okay...thanks for the laughs you goofballs. Updates.....Rachel - see the OMG thread - most likely has LYME!!! can you believe this??? I just read it and am still processing it. NOt a 100% diagnosis, but most likely.....treatment to begin later.

Bad news....Vincent has left the forum. He had a thread about it earlier this morning, I tried to post on it, and it was gone. I dont' know what's going on. I really think we need him here.....maybe everyone should BEG him to come back? :(

I gotta go....not feeling great - - too much rice pudding..... :ph34r: my new favorite thing.... :o

Liz - where do you live? sounds fantastic but do take care of that sweet little dog!

Bev - you crazy th ing - - - love the photo, you vixen :lol:

What you may want to do is build a dog run with a house and a door on the front of the run out of chain link for when you put him out there. If you have a door with a latch and a way to put a lock on it then you could put him out there when it is nice and lock it so no one lets him out and no coyote will push up the latch and open it. They will not just go after your puppy but also when he gets older. My mother's German Shepherd when they were out walking in the morning was attacked by coyotes and had to have stitches. That wa done by a single coyote.

The problem is humans are greedy and have taken away the habitat of the animals, we can move but their place of living is theirs for life.

Thanks guy's my eyes are closed mainly so I don't have to look in the mirror! Funny story I woke up and looked in the mirror and thought I saw a huge new wrinkle then looked harder and it was a scratch. Oh well, guess you had to be there! I took the day off work mostly so I wouldn't be harrassed all day B)

Happy Birthday Tavi.

Now the scariest age for me was 30, so far. However, I know that they made a mistake on my birth certificate because my mind is 25 except for the senility part and well my body is the give away, this morning it feels ninety. Of course winter weather makes it hurt and creak more. My saving grace is most think I am maybe 40 not that over half a century look.

You guy's are just too funny! I know Patti can relate as she just hit the mark. Susan: I just thought that when you are 50 I will be 55 wishing I was 50, why are we so messed up about our ages?

I did email Vincent and he is gone, that's too bad, I enjoyed his posting.

Guess what?? There is another Tavi posting! Could it really be me and I have multiple personalities, and just don't remember posting? Could it be the picture of the dog's name? Oh my, holy moley batman what is going on?

When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to.   1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
