I do sometimes wonder if people I know are secretly reading my posts. I mean, just think of all the people who lurk and don't post. For all I know, any of my coworkers could know all sorts of random facts about me, that I don't really want them to know :lol:

I think this too, there are thousands of lurkers, thousands. :ph34r: And with the amount of people that have celiac/are getting celiac, there is bound to be people we all know here sooner or later, I would think??

Hey, we're still helping Rachel, it's just that we're having a sleepover now, eating potato chips, and talking about boys and stupid things some of us did while drinking! :P

Amen to that, sister! Somewhere in Arkansas, a frat boy has a video of my and my piercings at Mardi Gras :o:blink::ph34r:

This made me cringe. I was so stupid in my youth, so stupid. When I did drink I was out of control. At sometime a frat house had video of me that I don't even know what the content was. :ph34r:

I think Vincent posted that he came on here once in a while to offer input but it just got too diverse for him. :ph34r:

Hehe...in other words we scared him off with all our girl talk. :lol::lol:

Hmmm...maybe it was all the stuff about ovaries?? :ph34r:

By the way...my appt. with the OBGYN is tommorrow at 3:30.....hopefully I get something out of that appt. since I've waited a lifetime for it....well, at least 30 pages or so. ;)

I was never a big drinker and after going through a program with my brother (they required a sig. other and my parents were to busy at the time), I quit drinking the little bit that I did. Never seemed to bother anyone if I had a non alcoholic drink.

I got it all out of my system when I was young, I guess. I have had a glass of wine only rarely the past 20 years or so--none in the last 2 except a glass at Easter dinner. None since. Just don't like how it makes me feel.

My drinking was very short lived, only 2 years in college. I got drunk very quickly on very little and would black out. I have heard now that that is a sign you have the genes to be an alcoholic so I nipped that in the bud right away.

Celia, I am free to be your non-alcoholic friend :lol::lol:

I loved having a non-drinking friend, that meant I didn't have to worry about a thing when I drank :D

I wonder when Rachel is going to be back from the doctors.

I think she said her appointment was at 11:00, so it hasn't even started. I am so anxious for her. :huh:

Yeah I don't like getting "drunk"... I've had my nights where I tried to sleep with one eye open so the room didn't spin and one foot on the ground.... ick.... I like to feel just tipsy and that's it.

Not me, I have not had a drink in years, but when I did drink if I have the slightest hint of typsyness I dump the rest out. I like the way Mudslides taste, YUMMY, but hate beer, and when i do drink its actually for teh flavor not the effects....

I have categories of tasty drinks and serious drinking drinks. :ph34r:

I too have always hated beer. Bleh, yuck, pahtooey. :P

I had about 2 years at college too of real drinking, mostly because I had the ID. The state screwed up my card and although it had the correct year, it didn't say under 21 bla bla. (they put my info as being born in 1884, I looked great for 116 :P ) Anyway, NY liscences aren't shiny and hard, they're matte and flexible. A little colored pencil to make the 4 into a 1 and I was good to go. They've since fixed the id's so you can't do that, but it worked great for me, especially since I went to school out of state. :)

Anyhoo, I was the liquor whore. Although I was by far the youngest in the group, I turned 21 first. I didn't look suspicious at all in the liquor store, what with my list, wad of cash, entorage of 5 underage guys and purchasing LARGE QUANTITIES every week. Once, my roomate came running into the store when I was already in there and started screaming, WAIT, I NEED SOME TOO!!! :lol: Nope, not suspicious.

And at the ripe old age of 22, I don't drink much anymore. :P

Pickard - Welcome :) Where'd you go when you left the country for a couple years? I need to come up with some ideas of where I want to go when my OZ visa expires LOL.

I lived in Japan for a couple fo years while in the Navy. Spent some time in the Phillipines :rolleyes: ; Korea ;) , Oz :D to name a few. I have travelled to Ireland, England and various islands in the Caribbien. if down in Oz, try to get over to New Zealand and/or New Caledonia. I really like New Cal beautiful place, not too many tourists mainly Aussies, Japanese and a few French. Lots of diving and a good casino.

As for getting yourself in trouble, well I am sure many of you know rugby players add to that I was a Navy Diver and well you get the picture. I am not sure of any vidoes but, that is always possible. :lol:

Know the type well, Picard....lived in Monterey for 7 years, dated a couple of Seals, all kinds of military officers and instructors (Naval Postgraduate School), a Marine Harrier pilot (Marines are the craziest of all - dating-wise)....a British rugby player/Naval officer - - - -he brought BOTTLES of wine into the movie theatre -

many years of insanity for me....had to move back home where it is safer! :)

Wow...you guys have been busy....I can't keep up. :o

My appt. isnt till later 3:30 (like Andrea said). Wow girl you are getting good at finding stuff in this thread!!

Be careful or we're gonna start sending you on "errands" to find our lost thoughts. :P

I still have no clue what I'll say at my appt. Guess it'll just be whatever happens to come out of my mouth at the time. I'm pretty sure I'll tell him/her "I'm totally allergic to everything so could you please get rid of these cysts now so I can get on with things...my friend Floridian from the slumber party said it could help." :P Yeah....it'll be something along those lines.

Haha....no wonder I never get anywhere with my doctor visits. :lol:

I'm pretty sure they'll schedule me for another ultrasound first before anything. I'm wondering what happens if the cysts are still there but small (under 4 cm)...will they do nothing? What if I want them removed anyway? :huh:

I guess by the time I post some of you will already be in bed.

The joint military language institute is also in Monterey. Never made it up that far. My last duty station was Long Beach in 1996.

Wow, memories of drunken hot tub hopping are flooding back!

I dont have too many "out of control" memories as far as the drinking goes. I did drink quite a bit though....I just didnt lose control too often. I dont think theres any videotapes floating around or anything. B)

I dunno, but for being pretty small all my life...I really could drink....It would take alot of alcohol to get me drunk. Definately not a cheap date. :lol:

Maybe I had some malabsorption all along but I just wasnt feeling the alcohol like most would. Its a diferent story now though...I wouldnt trust myself with one beer. :ph34r:

I'm hoping this is temporary cuz if and when I am able to drink again I wanna be able to have full control like I used to...and also be able to drink more than half a drink w/out the room spinning on me. Please say it will go away!!

I hate the flavor :lol::lol: I drink for the effects :P

When I was about 8, my brother gave me a glass of something carbonated and said, "Here, have some ginger ale!"

It was beer. Bleagh. Never could swallow it down after that!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      By catnapt · Posted

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
