As I sit here in Ontario (north of Toronto) I am watching the snow come down. My meetings in the city got cancelled and I get to sit in my comfy clothes and work on the lap top.

I think we need some fun. Anyone up for a snowball fight?

Ahhh Tanya, I would join you but unfortunately I only have one phone line and my computer is tied to it now :( So, I'd better get off instead of playing online games, which would be great fun! So ... hit someone for me with that snowball :lol:

I'm going into my sewing room to work on the 'Terrier' quilt for the kennel club raffle.

Have fun!

I live in northern minnesota where we should have multiple feet by now but when i look out my window i still see GRASS!! there isn't even enough snow to cover it yet!

:lol: I hope you got her with several, it looks like she is really missing the stuff. We have a couple of feet of the beautiful sparkly white stuff.

Linds- I know how you feel, I live in PA and we usually have seen snow by now even if it had melted. I saw people wearing shorts the last few weekends. It is not our typical winter weather...I could use a blizzard. I miss the snow we got when I was little.

Plus I am a skier and the man-made snow is not cutting it over the past years and most ski resorts arent even open now....and if they are there are 2-6 trails open. I feel for their business...it is hurting.

I have a couple inches of ice covering my backyard. Anyone want to go ice skating?!? I even have a dog you might be able to convince to pull a sled for you.

dog sledding is one of my favorite things to do in the winter... when there is snow! my boyfreinds mom has 19 huskies that pull us however this year we can't go its not safe. They have canceled the dog sled races except for the large one here. But the dogs will be pulling idling 4 wheelers this year instead of sleds because there isn't enough snow! The worst part is that it is -18 degrees out and no snow! the lakes aren't even frozen enough to snowmobile on! and winter is my FAVORITE time of year!!!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Matt13, About half of people with Celiac Disease react to Casein, the protein in dairy, in the same way as to the protein Gluten.  They have similar segments of polypeptides which trigger the autoimmune response of Celiac Disease. Damage to the Villa lining the intestines can be patchy or beyond the reach of the endoscopy equipment.   Hope this helps!

      Nutritional deficiencies caused by undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease can cause symptoms like you describe.  Malabsorption of nutrients is caused by damage to the intestinal lining which makes absorbing essential nutrients difficult.  We need to absorb sufficient vitamins and minerals from our diet everyday to make sure our body functions properly. Different vitamins and minerals can be stored for different amounts of time, but usually one of the first to become insufficient is Thiamin Vitamin B 1.   Every cell in our bodies uses Thiamin as an energy source to do cell functions, especially the brain.  Our brain just sitting and thinking uses as much thiamine as muscles do running a marathon.   Emotional trauma and physical trauma can each precipitate thiamine deficiency disorders.   Thiamine deficiency disorders can manifest as sudden weight loss (without trying to lose weight),  OR sudden weight gain.  Pins and needles (paresthesia, neuropathy), muscle aches and cramps, forgetfulness and brain fog, insomnia, frequent urination, constipation and/or diarrhea, and abdominal pain are all symptoms of deficiencies in Thiamine and other B vitamins.   Gastrointestinal BeriBeri  is caused by Thiamin deficiency with the symptoms of nausea and abdominal pain.   Doctors are not well educated in nutritional deficiencies, so deficiency symptoms are often brushed aside and ignored or attributed to other things.   Blood tests are not accurate measures of thiamine or other B vitamin deficiencies.  The best way to determine a thiamine deficiency is to take thiamine and look for improvement of symptoms. Symptoms should improve within hours or days.  Doctors can administer thiamine intravenously for faster results, but over-the-counter Benfothiamine (an active form of thiamine) works just as well.  Thiamine is not harmful to be administered because thiamin is water soluble, meaning excess is easily excreted by the kidneys.  Thiamine is nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps with PTSD and C-PTSD.  PTSD happens after one traumatic event or series of events.  C-PTSD happens after being chronically traumatized, day after day, frequently starting in childhood.  An example of Chronic PTSD would be a child being told their stomach aches were faked to get out of going to school because the child was really just lazy, when in reality the child has undiagnosed active Celiac Disease and diverticulitis.  My blog on this site has more information on my journey and thiamine deficiency. Do talk to your doctor and nutritionist about correcting nutritional deficiencies that accrue in Celiac Disease.  Ask about Gastrointestinal BeriBeri.

      Fibrin glue

      Thanks.  I never would have dreamed this would take so much research!

      Fibrin glue

      By trents · Posted

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them.

      Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten?  I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer.  Thanks, Tammie
