Oh...I only have one line too but I actually figured out how to get past the not receiving calls part. I got call forwarding so all the calls made to my house go straight to my cell. Now I can be online and still talk on the phone. :D

Clever girl...

BTW you only need one phone line for DSL.

Be sure to keep up with us. Have a great time in Australia. May I ask why you are going? Didn't you say for five months.

I'm traveling through a work abroad program. So basically I have a work visa and I'm hoping to find a job when I get there and travel around the country as well. It's just something I've always wanted to do. It'll be a great way to shake things up a bit - after eliminating gluten I still suffer from cubicle induced brain fog. So...I needed to do something slightly drastic to force myself out of my current (not so exciting) situation :D It'll be a fun adventure if nothing else :)

Can you be my designated typer?? :lol:

wow... just took my first sip... almost forgot what it tasted like ^_^

Good luck with the wine. One sip can be powerful if you haven't drank in a while :lol:

I think at this point 3 sips of wine would probably get me drunk. When I got sick I totally lost my tolerance for alcohol. :(

Mango, I agree with Floridian...you're really brave!! I'm the type that wouldnt ever think of going to see a movie by myself or going to eat by myself....let alone going to a whole other country by myself. :blink:

No way...I'm chicken. :ph34r:

But... I can go shopping by myself....I'm really good at that!! :D

Donna you probably look beautiful and healthy... I still look sickly... I hate it... the doctor said I'd start to gain weight but it's not happening as fast I would like it to.

Floridian-

I'm 5'5 and not even 100 lounds- so I'm sure compared to me you hardly look sickly!! I can't seem to gain weight no matter what I gained 3 pounds and got excited and than lost them within a few weeks.

So Donna feel free to pass any weight you don't want over to me- I need it!!!

Miamia

Okay... question.... should I try a glass of white wine? Haven't had a sip of ANY alcohol in about 4 months.

Hi... my name is Celia

I haven't had a drink in 4 months.

I'm not an alcoholic but was thinking it might be fun. :lol:

I was wondering the same thing the other day and didn't- god I miss wine!!!

If you go for it give a review of your reaction.

OMG, you guys have added 5 more pages since I was last here late this morning :lol::lol:

Hi Mango! That is so cool you are going to Australia. Will you still be able to access the board from your travels? I hope so, maybe you can post pictures of your adventures??

I can also be a designated typer :lol: I don't drink at all.

miamia Rookie
Oh Miamia... I can feel your pain SOOOO much!!! Isn't it hard to gain??? Drives me nuts!!

Floridian-

I just see how its possible I don't - even when I am having a reaction or a truly terrrible day I force myself to eat because I am so scared of losing weight and still I don't gain a pound it really is FRUSTRATING!! Everyone thinks I'm anoerexic- trying to explain malabsorbtion and food intolerences is a joke- nobody gets it. Well except those at the sleepover.

I have a doctor's appointment on the 17th and she's gonna ask me how I've been... thinking I should print out this thread and hand it to her :D

:lol:

I wonder how much paper you'd need to print out the entire thread. :blink:

I'm just imagining you plopping down this huge book and saying "Its all here...in black and white...this is how I feel". :D

And you're doctor's looking at you like this. :huh:

Rachel--24 Collaborator
I'm looking at all of these :lol: on my last post, thinking that might be the wine <_<

LMAO!!

Yeah...as the night goes on there will be miles of smiles!!! :lol::lol:

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Haha....that guy I've been hanging out with just sent me a text saying I should give him the name of this site that I'm always on. :huh:

Ummm....I'm thinking that would be a really bad idea....all my past posts would come back to haunt me. :ph34r:

My reply was...Never!!

This is an all girls slumber party. ;)

Clark Bent as Stupor-Man

Yeah....that cracks me up everytime!!

Rachel--24 Collaborator
Ha ha... oh gawwwdd you'd die for him to read all of this :lol:

OMG...I would die if anyone I knew read half this stuff!!

:lol::lol:

Lets see I've talked about all my exes, my bowel movements, my ovaries, even the color of my urine!! :ph34r:

I would definately hide out for a very long time. :lol::lol:

jerseyangel Proficient

I see the slumber party has been going on without me :angry::D ! I came on to see if anyone else was here, and I see it's been non-stop for 5 or 6 pages! Floridian, I had a glass of wine with Easter dinner--the first on in 2 years. No problem at all--but I haven't had another....How are you feeling now--or have you gone to sleep :lol: ?

Hey Rachel--no problem with the pinning--I have more time during the day than you do anyway!

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Well we can all see what kind of affect the wine's having on Floridian!!! :lol::lol:

She's laughing at her computer screen and doin alot of editing. :o

Hehe....miles of smiles... :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well then--bottoms up!!! At least you'll sleep good tonight :lol:

Oh yeah... bag of chips... chips are not bad, well except for Rachel.

Yeah...for me chips are really bad. :(

jerseyangel Proficient

Floridian--be careful now--your avatar tomorrow will be of you with an ice bag on you head :lol: Yep--potato chips have potatoes in them--actually, they are them :blink:

Nite everyone. :)

jerseyangel Proficient

OH gawwwddd Rachel... I'm sitting here laughing at you so hard and my Tony comes in ... oh Tony my hubby... and he goes "maybe it's beddy bye time" and I go "why"... and he goes "cuz your sitting here staring at a computer screen laughing your (you know what) off.... he just smiled and hugged me and went to watch TV

I've been doing the same thing. You women are very funny.

I had two doctors appointments today, my GP asked why I was there to see her and I told her it was because her office had called me to come in and talk to her about the letter from the Gastro. :huh:

So then she read the letter and had nothing to tell me I didn't already know. The next doctor I saw was a surgeon who is determined to take out the fibroid cyst I have in one of my breasts. In the midst of the Celiac crisis this winter I discovered the lump and had a month or so of wondering if I had breast cancer but I don't. :P They all thought I did though, I kept hearing the, well you are 51 and it is an irregular mass, worried looks and such. I have a CT scan scheduled this week too because I have a cyst or something in one of my kidneys. :( I am really wondering if there is a connection between all the soy I consumed in my twenties and estrogen and these cysts. Has anybody else suddenly been "cysted"?

      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. 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/

      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.

      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."

      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.
