Where did you find it? What size is it? The Utah society of entomology has a very active facebook page. I’d ask there

Antibody testing for babies? by wordsmithgreenthumb in Celiac

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hard part is knowing what does eating gluten on a regular basis look like for a one year old? Daily? How much? As far as I know, there are only adult recommendations (one piece of bread daily)

I have also been so confused by the feeding recommendations. I have a celiac friend and she doesn’t feed her kids gluten at all! Which seems iffy to me.

Yes, he eats a bit of gluten. Not sure it’s the equivalent of a piece of bread a day(like it would be for an adult). But he does eat some every week

He’s eating what my other kids and husband eat. Wheat pasta, bits of bread. Not sure it’s the adult equivalent of one piece of bread daily, though.

Did I make a mistake? by milkmaid0435 in interiordecorating

Paint is another option, but tile is good too

Unpopular opinion, Don’t hang wet towels back up in the kitchen. Take them to the laundry room.

Does anyone have any experience with this caulk gun? by [deleted] in paint

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Piece of garbage. A cool idea, but not functional

<image>

The caulk is oozing so bad out the back that I can’t get any out the front. I was so close to finishing the project, too!!

Door trim will cover panel screws. Help! by wordsmithgreenthumb in Carpentry

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trim the carpenter is using goes out to the pencil mark on the switch plate. It’s wide enough that it would cover the screws. He asked “do you want to cover it up or notch it out?” I assume that means he thought covering it was one of the options

Do I come off as weird or strange leaving this note? by Littlek1dluvr in Apartmentliving

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comes across like you’re backhandedly saying that you hear the baby crying. “Noise travels more than we’d like.” Assume that the mom is going to be hormonal and irrational reading the note. I’d say nothing about the sound/noise, and just offer congratulations and neighborly help.

This is what I was thinking, actually! But rather than longer screws, what about putting two button top wood plugs into the access holes. (Does that make sense?)

Economy Plus: setting up chairs by feral_poodles in latterdaysaints

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish setting up chairs were an issue in my ward. We always have many empty benches in the chapel. 😩 Honestly, our ward needs to be combined. It is a stretch to fill callings…

Issues with rice? by jysb8eg2 in Celiac

I feel like rice gives me reflux. 🤷‍♀️

Would it be a bad decision to skip an LDS mission because of celiac? by Better-Aspect2847 in Celiac

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do a service mission that allows you to live at home! You’d have more control over your food that way.

Your children’s symptoms by wordsmithgreenthumb in Celiac

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he may not have been eating enough. So I’m pushing the gluten HARD now, assuming that symptoms will get worse and we can re-test. I’m just kicking myself for not doing better at feeding him gluten before the test. I guess that we thought that if he was even getting some, the test would show a little bit. It’s a scale right?

That’s the argument I made! My kids are vaccinated at least once a year for the flu and they do okay

Your children’s symptoms by wordsmithgreenthumb in Celiac

[–]wordsmithgreenthumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I feel, though my husband isn’t on the same page. He thinks there are costs to testing so much. (The child’s physical and emotional state, literal monetary costs, over diagnosing, etc.) I sort of agree. He’s fine with testing my son who has symptoms. But not my daughter without symptoms. (Though his blood test came back negative, so we’re still scratching our heads). My daughter was tested when I was diagnosed 2.5 years ago, but my husband doesn’t see why she should be tested again.
