Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 Hi Kristi, I'm sorry your having such a difficult time of it. I wanted to say that I think that is staying until Tuesday. I may be wrong, but I believe that's what she said. I know that she will help you as soon as she gets back. She is just so busy right now. She did tell me that the rest of the Alabama folks are going to be her priority when she gets back. I know for a fact that there is a least one more Alabama person who is waiting and not heard from her yet, so you're not alone. I believe if you will just give her a few more days, she'll get everything straightened out for you. It's so hard to be patient when you want something so badly. I had to wait a year for approval. Dr. R's office is really backed up right now, too. Barb is pulling her hair out trying to get things done. My thoughts are with you. Stormy > Has anyone heard from T. lately?

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 Rene' 8/24 Have you tried using Vaseoline, cover whole finger, and work as much as you can under the ring. It should come off, unless you have a big knuckle. Good Luck. Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 There is a trick you can do with string. Wrap it around your finger tightly starting at the base of you finger at the ring. Wrap real close together and then try and slip ring off over string. I work in an ER and we get them off that way sometimes. be careful, dont leave the string wrapped around you finger very long. Hope it works. Bob > Re: Help! > > Rene' 8/24 > Have you tried using Vaseoline, cover whole finger, and work > as much as you can under the ring. It should come off, unless you > have a big knuckle.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 Hi Rosemary! I am going to try vasoline tonight & if that doesn't work some trip Bob told me about putting a string around my finger.... We will see! Lynn in Dr. R's office told me I could tape it, but you know how that is... I am scared I will get there & I will get a nurse who wants to cut my finger off (smile!).

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2000 Report Share Posted August 21, 2000 Rene - You might also try putting your hand in very cold water and then working the ring off as your hand " shrinks " because of the cold.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi there! I just joined this group, since I am having some questions pop up. I've been on the SCD diet for 3 months, which has helped cure or lessen much of the pain I've been going through. After a lot of research, I had my 2 daughters tested through enterolab for gluten and casein reactivity. They were positive for both. So now I have some questions regarding children (they are both on the SCD diet with the exclusion of all dairy since they are mounting an immune reaction to casein)(their eczema, D, constipation, hyperactivity, uncontrollable emotions, headaches and backaches are all gone). 1. Calcium - for young children (age 2 and 5), how much calcium do they need? Can they get this from the SCD diet minus dairy, or should I supplement? What is a good supplement for the young ones who cannot swallow a pill without chewing? 2. Multivitamins - is this necessary or detrimental for my kids? Again, what is a good supplement for those who cannot swallow without chewing? 3. Enterolabs - I did as much research as I could before paying for tests. Their casein scores were 15 and 28. Gluten was 38 and 60. Does anyone have opinions about the validity and accuracy of these tests? (From the standpoint of defending my elimination of dairy products from their diet permanently)(father in law is convinced that perhaps the tests were wrong, and therefore we are wrong to take dairy away forever) Thanks so very much for your input.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Heidi, I don't know what the RDA is for calcium for young children. I'm sure you could ask the pediatrician for a resource... or do a Google search. If you're eliminating all dairy, I think it makes common sense to supplement. With very careful planning, you might be able to supply enough with other calcium rich foods (almonds, broccoli, etc.). It would depend on your food selections. Really hard for us to say. You need a good nutrition almanac/reference... so you can plan according to how much calcium is in everything they are eating. There is a list of legal supplements on www.pecanbread.com... under the " supplements " link. This is not every supp in the world that might be legal, but a good starting point. I would look for those in capsules that can be opened into food... or tablets you can crush with a mortar and pestle. My daughter can't swallow pills either.... so that's what I always do. I know zero about the tests you refer to. I just know that many kids here who have sensitivities to gluten and casein, can tolerate these foods after being on SCD long enough to heal their leaky guts. Patti, mom to Katera Help! Hi there!
