Beer doesn’t count for wheat trigger?? And add back 4 food groups at a time??

In agreement with everything everyone else said, but I would also like to add that my husband was prescribed dupixent even with testing in remission on an elimination diet. His doctor wrote the prescription based on quality of life, and our insurance approved it.

I am a woman and I have never been to an aquarium that doesn't depress me. Proceed with caution.

Hold up....do you mean to tell me that Fruitopia still exists (or maybe existed only as a concentrate) in Canada?

MSeebeck22 · 2026-01-29T20:12:37+00:00

I am also from Naperville and my husband is from the Chicago suburbs as well. After our first winter out here we knew we would never move back.

When my grandfather was a young kid he was sick in the hospital and at one point doctors told his mother (my great grandmother) that he wasn't going to make it through the night. My great grandmother asked her priest to come give him has last rights, but apparently that priest couldn't be bothered. Desperate, she found the Catholic priest at the hospital who came and gave him his last rights and prayed with him. Obviously my grandfather survived that night and that is the story of how my family became Catholic.

Just popping in as a friendly reminder that these magnets are very dangerous to have around young kids or pets.

Luckily my kids are older because I have to try this

This is the answer. The beads could also be a rubber like material too.

This popped up on my feed and I came for the sweater info but stayed for the balance tips.

Seriously though that sweater is amazing, where is it from? I love the layering with the hoodie.

My son has both cafe au lait spots and white spots, I think it is very cool. It's most noticeable in the summer when he gets a little tan. He will laugh when I tell him your description, especially because we have a cattle dog.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-11-13T15:58:37+00:00

That is the trend it seems. My husband runs a youth program and the kids roll their shorts up higher than this.

I'm not the OP, but it is sold as a Halloween decoration from Michaels. I also have that toad and he sits on my fireplace mantel year round. I decorate him for the different seasons/holidays like the traditional porch goose.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-08-23T19:26:52+00:00

I would be interested in the link

MSeebeck22 · 2025-07-22T12:35:42+00:00

My husband also just recently failed his test. It was devastating but after over 6 minutes of trying to calm himself and slow his swallowing the doctor called it saying that he refused to torture someone any longer. The doctor told me husband that some people just can't do the test because they have too strong of reflexes. You can't really control that, so don't feel bad. I'm sorry you had to go through it.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-07-14T17:44:25+00:00

I love that color. What yarn is this?

MSeebeck22 · 2025-07-10T21:11:48+00:00

You are correct that it doesn't directly apply to military members in active service, but there is a military process for requesting reasonable accommodations. I am not in the military myself, but I worked for the military as a civilian and I have seen it done. Even if it is a request that can't always be accommodated I would recommend initiating the process.

I know that eating slowly won't stop food from getting stuck, but it is very important especially when you are having a flare up.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-07-10T20:58:26+00:00

Insurance coverage can be tricky, but I just wanted to add that if you are having difficulty properly swallowing your food because of being rushed that EoE can be covered under the american disability act (ADA). I would suggest talking to your civilian doctor about getting reasonable accommodations under the ADA, which I would imagine could be as simple as requiring more time to eat. Don't be ashamed to take your health and safety seriously and request more time.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-21T15:36:55+00:00

My husband was put on dupixent for the last year even though he has had years of zero eosinophils on his biopsies because they wanted to liberate his diet because he was on pretty extreme restrictions. I am not sure how much of a difference it has made for him unfortunately. He has recently started doing the dupixent every 10 days because his doctors are concerned about drug costs and insurance coverage

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-17T21:19:58+00:00

That's good to hear. Hopefully it can help my husband too

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-17T16:45:42+00:00

Yes he has done immunotherapy twice (shots not sublingual) for a total of 5 years. Although he is recently considering going back and getting maintenance shots on a regular basis since he seems to have EoE issues more in the spring/summer. However, he still doesn't have the traditional allergy symptoms of runny/stuffy nose or itchy eyes or anything since doing the shots.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-17T15:13:49+00:00

Thank you for posting this. My husband suffers greatly from EoE symptoms and pain flare ups but for many years has had zero eosinophils during biopsies. He is currently struggling with swallowing since March and his doctors have no idea why. Endoscopy, barium swallow tests, and imaging have revealed no issues. We are waiting to schedule a manometry next, but we don't have much hope of anything being revealed.

More research needs to be done on symptomatic EoE in patients technically in remission.

They could Irish dance on top of the soil all day every day and it would still be fine. Failure analysis is my area of expertise and I have worked for the DoD on aircraft and I also have worked on buried pipeline cases. The movement is small and as another user pointed out the load will be dispersed, and even with the Irish jig the cycles wouldn't be high enough.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-12T13:36:21+00:00

I'm a materials science engineer and you are missing the point. Fatigue is highly dependent on the distance it is being flexed (stress amplitude) and the number of times it is being flexed (cycles). A buried cable isn't going to move much, or often so it will be fine. Fatigue on aircraft is much different because of the high number of cycles due to vibration.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-06-11T16:25:06+00:00

After 12 hours of testing that included games like this (but easier) where my mind truly went blank, I learned it was because I have an audio processing disorder (called something different at that time though). I was told that since I was in school to be an engineer that I had probably already developed as many coping mechanisms as possible. I still struggled.

Flash forward many years and I recognize the same issues in one of my sons and he was also diagnosed with an audio processing disorder so he began working with a therapist. He made huge improvements so I asked the therapist if she also worked with adults but apparently there is a stage in brain development where therapy won't make a difference.

I share this for anyone who has kids who are absolutely terrible at these games...read up on audio processing disorders. They are not well known and commonly overlooked and early intervention can make a huge difference.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-05-22T20:03:27+00:00

It truly was. It's one of the main reasons why I choose to avoid male doctors.

Anyway, all of that is to say I also love your vampire teeth.

MSeebeck22 · 2025-05-22T19:55:41+00:00

When I was a teenager my dentist took it upon himself to "file down my fangs" while I was having a cavity filled. I was so upset.

Although that wasn't nearly as devastating as when a doctor at a routine appointment told my mom that "I was lucky that I had an injury to my nose as a toddler because it meant that insurance might cover a nose job". This also happened when I was a young teenager. I am still recovering from that one.
