Hi all, I have a nine-year-old cat who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism pretty recently ("badly", a vet said, based on her blood test results). We haven't started any kind of treatment yet, because she's been scheduled for radioiodine therapy in about a week. Her symptoms have been mostly limited to rapid weight loss, constant hunger, high energy and aggression, looking unkempt and having large, wet bowel movements. Not great, but mostly stable for the past month or so. Our last trip to the vet was on Thursday to collect blood and urine samples, and the vet hadn't noted anything unusual about her then. It's a stressful experience for her, though, and she's very fearful of strangers. At some point last night, she had diarrhea on the floor far from her litter box, which has never happened, and a maintenance person came by early this morning before I had noticed it to clean up. For most of the day she's been hiding out under furniture apparently having trouble breathing. She hasn't eaten a bite of food, even refusing treats, which she never does.
"Cultured or fermented dairy products like yoghurt and cheese contain the least amount of lactose because the culturing process pre-digests much of the lactose, " says chef Christine Bailey. "In addition, during the cheese-making process lactose is removed along with whey. " Which nutrients to watch The main dairy nutrients which need to be replaced with other sources are protein, B vitamins, calcium and iodine. Protein Protein in particularly important for growing children so make sure your lactose intolerant child is offered fish, red meat, poultry, eggs, beans or pulses with each main meal. Adults generally have enough protein in the diet so don't need to make a special effort to replace dairy proteins. B vitamins are found in a range of protein-rich foods so, if you are eating a variety of these, you are probably getting enough. Calcium Calcium is important for bone development in children as well as maintenance of bone structure in adults. Non-dairy sources include green leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts and fortified foods/drinks.
I was an 8 year-old comic book afficianado, so I was ecstatic. Plus Adam West and Burt Ward were reprising their roles as Batman and Robin! Superman and Wonder Woman boycotted the event. It aired only once, just like the Star Wars Holiday Special. And like that special, I thought I'd dreamt it up. No one else remembered it, so I questioned my sanity. Years later I got a bootleg at a Comic Convention. I was overjoyed… I watched it again. When you're that young, satire doesn't register. And this was so amazingly wretched it numbed the senses. The first special (" The Challenge ") involved the search for a bomb, and boy was that a metaphor. Check out some of this magic: The next special was a Superhero Roast, which was even worse! It was a tacky 70's variety show, bad costumes and worse jokes; a format thankfully extinct today. The Roast was hosted by Ed McMahon. He never turned down a paycheck. "Hiyoooooooooo!!!!!
