I thought you were coming to gluten-free colonize Colorado with me? :(

when we lived in the Sacramento area, they were talking about splitting off from the US.

Yep the split in two thing failed...back then our economy was very strong and was something like 8th biggest economy when compared with other countries....that was before our state went broke ;)

I could live at elevation in Colorado : )

Ahh, I'm planning a big move to Ohio to be near my relatives.  The wonderful gluten-free island kingdom doesn't seem to have materialized yet, so Ohio it is.  I don't know about Kansas tho Crayon.  It's kinda close to the Yosemite super-volcano area for my taste.  Deep fried celiacs anyone?  Plus they have those big-foot things in Colorado I think.  Of course Ohio is sorta close to the big East coast quake they say is overdue too.  Dang, where is that island kingdom?

 

And yes, Crayon,  I notice them!  Wink Wink! :)

Nothing like an overplayed song that gets stuck in your head to turn you into a crazy person with a bad attitude in a snap. :lol: :lol:

When my friend was visiting, we were both reading and enjoying the sunshine. That song came on the radio.

 

When it was over, my very calm and usually very upbeat pal said "oh thank gawwwdd....I f--ing hate that song!". 

 

We both burst out laughing at the thought that she was actually irritated by someone singing about being happy.

 

Hubs hates it too. 

 

I don't get it. I like it-- and turn I it up loudly when I am alone in the car--and sing at the top of my lungs. 

 

And anytime anyone else sees me moving and shaking in the car at a red light, they smile and start waving at me. (either that or they think

I am having a seizure of some sort) 

 

One time, driving to Florida, somewhere in the middle of Georgia, i was dancing in my seat to some energetic song and  gesticulating like mad

doing the "swim"...pointing my arms all over the place, ...

and this car load of women (looked like a mom and her 4 girls) pulled up along side us and they started doing the same thing I was doing...it was hilarious!

 

That amused us all for about 10 miles until they had to take an exit. 

 

The hubs just shakes his head at me. What can I say? As Colleen says. I'm happy happy. 

 

Beats the shyte out of being miserable miserable. ^_^

Sounds like Ohio is going to get crowded!  :)  Visitors are welcome or maybe a meet-up somewhere.  I don't think there really is a Canfield in Ohio though.  Sounds like somewhere we toss our empty beers cans on Friday night.  Er, well, that's about anywhere we happen to be driving by tho.  Ever try to hit a road sign with a beer bottle?  That can fill up a Friday or Saturday night drive with fun.  We have some hills and a little crick with minnows and snapping turtles to play with.  And the coyotes and boars and bears are moving in too they say.

 

I wonder where Oscar is?  He always seems so happy and cheerful.  I thot sure he would weigh in on this thread and let us know how happy it makes him.

No prob with a DD Leesur.  A DD might actually help the aim! :)  The beer throwing was 40 years ago, they might have come up with some more interesting things to do by now.

 

If you all aren't sure you are happy, you get happy by traveling to zombo.com.  There you can do anything.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
