Sorry Jan- it....um.....(looking down at toe, swiveling phoot back and forth)....car wouldn't start. Yep, darn car:(

Trick or Treaters coming around now. Happy Jersey Halloween everybody! :-)

Think I'll join ya in that glass of wine, Lisa. (think there's room for both of us in there ?)

Hee

Lisa Mentor

Yup, wine always makes everything better. And home alone for the moment...it's a lovely noise.

Car? Ah huh... :rolleyes: You just wanted to stay and hand out countless pieces of candy to adults who drag their children along. :huh:

:ph34r: BOO!

jerseyangel Proficient

Ah, solitude! Nice every so often ;)

I was sitting on my doorstep, li'l suitcase in hand.....several bottles of wine in my backpack....waiting and waiting.....

Okay, we gotta raincheck.....next time I'll fly to Jersey and we'll drive from your house, Pattiegh. If your car acts up, well, I'm stranded at YOUR place. I'll have my backpack full of pinot.... B);)

Whatever. You know she was lightening up the backpack by 'sampling' the wine.

Just voted! Line was long already. I showed up right about 6am as thier were opening and got out about 647am. Line was longer when I left then when I arrived.

Darn210 Enthusiast

The advantages of not working . . . I'm going to go mid-afternoon and avoid all those people trying to vote on their way to work, at lunch, or leaving a tad early to vote on their way home for work. I'm targeting 2:00 pm. Four years ago, there was still a pretty darn good line at that time.

I'll be glad when this is over . . . I'm sick of the ads and I'm sick of the phone calls.

Darn210 Enthusiast

Well, a raincheck it is . . . the wine will keep (if we can keep Em out of it) . . . but watchu gonna do with all them oysters, Lisa?

Got any Junior Mints left, Patti? How about a sugar hangover? (I always have one of those the day after Halloween :ph34r: )

VydorScope Proficient

I'll be glad when this is over . . . I'm sick of the ads and I'm sick of the phone calls.

Ditto on putting the ads behind us!!!!!

jerseyangel Proficient

I hear ya, Jan-it. I plan to go mid morning for the same reason.

Wonder of wonders, there are actually a few boxes of Junior Mints left. :P

We had lots of kids last night--I was curious to see what would happen with it being postponed but it actually felt like Halloween.

Yes--the ads, and phone calls pertaining to the elections. Will not miss those at all!!

jerseyangel Proficient

the wine will keep (if we can keep Em out of it) . . .

<snort> :wub:

Darn210 Enthusiast

Hubby went this morning . . . 7:30 ish . . . 45 minute wait but apparently everyone we know was there to keep him company. :rolleyes:

Jestgar Rising Star

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Here is a link to the spreadsheet I kept to track my nutrition intakes.  Maybe it will give you ideas. It is not https so browsers may flag a security warning. There is nothing to send or receive. http://doodlesnotes.net/index3.html I tracked everything I ate, used the National Nutrition Database https://www.foodrisk.org/resources/display/41 to add up my daily intake and supplemented appropriately.  It tracks about 30 nutrients at once.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
