I am going to be a first time father later today. My wife is having contractions now 10:00am, but it will be a long while before she dilates full. I am very nervous, but excited. Please send your prayers for a healthy boy and a safe delivery for Mom. I will post a picture in a week or so. Thanks for everyone's support over the past 9 months. You guys are truly amazing people. God Bless!

Tip: If she's breastfeeding, tell her it really helps to put a pillow over your belly and breastfeed...takes the preasure off the wound and it doesn't hurt then to hold baby on belly!

Little Levi is perfect. He is a healthy 7 1/2 lbs and 19 1/2 inches long. Cute as can be. I feel a little guilty because i dont feel as close to him as i thought. Maybe it just takes some time. Mom is doing good and we should be home by friday. Thanks for all of your prayers and support.

That's great! :D

BTW, I think it's normal to feel the way you do. Takes some time and adjustment.

So glad everything went well and that you will be together at home soon. Enjoy a good nights sleep tonight, they may be hard to come by for a bit. Don't be concerned about not feeling as close as you thought you would, that will come in time. After all you don't really know each other yet. Wait til the first time he lights up when you walk in the room or the first bottle when he looks at you with such love just because your holding him close. Be patient with yourself and enjoy.

      FDA says that most drugs are gluten-free???

      Question

      By trents · Posted

      There really is no test for diagnosing celiac disease that does not require the consumption of wheat for weeks or months ahead of the testing. All testing either measures the antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten consumption or looks for the damage the to that lining that the inflammation causes. If you take away the gluten, the inflammation subsides and so do the antibodies and healing takes place such that there is no damage to see. The only "test" that does not require gluten consumption is a genetic test but it can only be used as a rule out for celiac disease since 40% of the general population carries the one or both to the genes that have been tied to the development of celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease.  The joint inflammation you describe could possibly be linked to gluten-related reaction, either celiac or NCGS.

      Question

      By fritz2 · Posted

      Thank you.  Is there a test that does not include consuming wheat that I can request my doctor to have done?  Also, is it a celiac reaction for me to blow up my joints with gout like symptoms? thank you, is it safe to eat links that contain sucrose and dextrin?

      Question

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @fritz2, in the USA it is extremely rare for maltodextrin to contain wheat, although technically, according to the FDA, it can. Various celiac support groups over the last few decades have contacted the 3-4 biggest USA manufacturers of it to discover that corn is almost always used, rather than wheat. The sugar in the vitamin water, however, may have contributed to your gut issues.

      Thanks for this update, and it is scary that drug manufacturing is being outsourced to India, a country that is notorious for having very little, or extremely relaxed business regulations.
