Hey Sharone -

What kind of gastro disorder does your granddaughter have? I have, besides familial dysautonomia, IBD, Chrone's Disease and Ulcerative colitis along with gallstones. So does my daughter and she's underweight like I was at her age. She's 27. I've been sick all my life with gastro problems.

I'll be praying for your granddaughter:)

Stay sweet,
Maribel Caban

Hi Maribel,

She has Gastro Reflux acidity. And has inherited this weird stomach condition that comes straight from my Caban father, to me & my sister, to my daughter (who is 25), to the baby... food repeats on us all. We all have (or have had as my dad's no longer alive) gastric/digestive disorders. And a touch of the old IBS too!

I'm sorry to hear you and your dear daughter are in the same boat. This is one piece of heredity we could have done without, que no?

Hugs!

Sharone

Hey Sharone,

I will be praying for all you! It's the same deal with us with the gastro/digestive deal. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy (ewwww) and I'm on 4 meds for this disorder alone along with the Familial Dysautonomia.

Your right, one piece of heredity we don't need indeed. That's why I eat only Kosher foods because its so hard on my system. Since I've been stricly Kosher, things seemed to settle down and I feel much better. Its no wonder that YHWH (G-D) stated in the Torah (Bible) the foods we should and should not eat....including pork. Ewwww. A typical Caribbean meat - if the PRs, Cubans, Dominicans, etc. would only realize what a pig eats, including their garbage and their young, they wouldn't eat it too.

In my prayers. :)

Hugs,
Maribel:)

Oh, Fatima!!!

Look what we found about your surname http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.4crests.com...

Enjoy the below: MAZUL TOV!

The associated coat of arms for this name are recorded in J.B Rietstaps Armorial General. Illustrated by V & H.V Rolland's. This Monumental work took 23 years to complete and 85,000 coats of Arms are included in this work. This surname of SEDA is a Russian patronymic from the nickname SEDOI, meaning someone who had grey-hair. The name has also been adopted by Ashkenazic Jews in the forms SEDOFF and SEDOW, and the spelling in Czechoslovakia is SEDIVY. Surnames having a derivation from nicknames form the broadest and most miscellaneous class of surnames, encompassing many different types of origin. The most typical classes refer adjectivally to the general physical aspect of the person concerned, or to his character. Many nicknames refer to a man's size or height, while others make reference to a favoured article of clothing or style of dress. Many surnames derived from the names of animals and birds. In the Middle Ages ideas were held about the characters of other living creatures, based on observation, and these associations were reflected and reinforced by large bodies of folk tales featuring animals behaving as humans. Russian surnames are almost exclusively patronymic (occasionally metronymic) in form, usually ending in 'ov' or 'ev'. Habitation and topographic names are rare, and many common Russian surnames are polygenetic, and their literal meaning is clear, even though the reason for their adoption may not be. Heraldry appeared later in Russia than in most other Western European countries. It is generally agreed that it was copied from the west sometime in the late 17th century, and quickly achieved state significance. In 1722 Emperor Peter I (The Great) established an official Heraldry Office headed by a Master of Heraldry under the jurisdiction of the Senate, and granted 355 armorial bearings in the 18th century. Among the humbler classes of European society, and especially among illiterate people, individuals were willing to accept the mistakes of officials, clerks and priests as officially bestowing a new version of their surname, just as they had meekly accepted the surname they had been born with. In North America, the linguistic problems confronting immigration officials at Ellis Island in the 19th century were legendary as a prolific source of Anglicization.
