The drs said they can not do anything for him. We can not leave and be with him now cause it is a blizzard here. Please pray we can leave tommorow and make it on time. My husband is not taking this good at all, so also keep him in your prayers.

I am so very sorry, Paula. The holiday season is an especially difficult time to lose a family member. My grandmother was buried on New Year's Day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

He's 26 again and free of pain, in heaven with family and watching over you all. You will all be together again one day, until then, just know he is with the angels.

Sending you angels too help ease your pain.

Thank you everyone, he is up in heaven with his mom and his big sister. Our 6 yr old son looks exactly like him, even more so now that he is no longer on this earth, so we will always have hubbys brother living on threw our son.

My hubby also thanks you all for your well wishes, he was reading them this morning and crying. He is trying to be strong but i think he is still in the numb stage.

We are still not sure on funeral plans or anything yet, it is so hard when things happen on the weekends, and no one knows of what he wanted. i just hope they let hubby have some say it what is going to happen.

thank you all, things are really an mess. Of course his 2 sisters took over and let my hubby have no say in any of the arrangements. The kicker is the funeral was supposed to be in our hometown, but his sister decided to have it were she lives, were he had only lived for a few months. Cause that way people dont have to travel in the snow. No consideration that we have to drive 4 hours with 5 kids in the snow. This has turned into ww3. I am just so fustrated with it all, my hubby cant even grieve cause he is so upset and hurt.

I wish I could go backhand those two sisters for you. It sounds like they have made everything as hard as they could from the very beginning. I am a firm believer that what goes around comes around and they will get theirs in the end. It doesn't sound like there is any way you can override their decisions, and they don't sound like the decisions your BIL would have wanted, but you will get through this. I hope 'the sisters' realize the damage they are doing and that their actions are going to drive a wedge in the family that may never be removed. You and your family remain in my prayers and I hope this ordeal is over soon and that your dominant memories of your BIL are good ones and not overshadowed by the memories of the sisters attitudes.

I wish i could back hand them to. My hubby had it out with both of them last night, but no progress on the plans that they decided, but they gave lots of excuses for making the plans without him. what it all comes down to is no one wants to pay for any of it, and the ones who have paid some and compainingb about it. Hubby was like if we do it in our hometown, ill pay for the priest and the church, and we already have people that are willing to make the food(and real food, not coldcuts). I was like if everyone would just take 100 out of their christmas budget then he could have a great funeral. It just gets me they always have to have the latest gadgets during christmas, but they cant come up with money for an funeral. And many of the family members make 6 figures an yr. Then they told us we cant bury him now cause the ground is frozen. I really dont think they dotn bury everyone that dies in the winter. So im calling the mortuary today(i went to school with the cornoner) and find out what he really said. The biggbest kicker is they still dont know when the funeral will be, im so over this.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation. He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation." I don't think black seed oil is...

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats. Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat. Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel. Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body. Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
