I'm gonna get going, have some errands to run plus I'm getting a cheek cramp (and not the cheek on my face) :o

Oh my gosh, I gotta go also, Rachel's Slumber Party/Chatroom Girl Talk Thread is posing to be a huge excuse to avoid doing all the work and projects I have to do.....excellent and fun time - waster (well not that it's wasted time but you know, so much to do around here and can't just laugh and e-chat all day!!)

And Andrea, you are so right about Sarah.....so, if she was 90 in biblical times and gave birth, maybe you can halve that age and I'm still good? :rolleyes:

Chelsea - - good for you for leading those girls! - - -I've been looking into Big Brothers/Big Sisters and am concerned because I am SO broke right now, still no full-time job and currently not even a PART-TIME job as the writer I work for has been gone for two weeks......if I had a little sister, what would we do? Even gas money is scarce......

You guys are awesome......all kinds of laughs, encouragement, support, and heck, I only started on page 90 or so.....as mentioned before, need the Cliff notes to catch up on the other chapters...........

I'd say 50 or so actually. Wasn't the average age 120 then. That's about 35-40 years beyond ours..so don't give up. :P

WHAT???? so there is still hope for me? (44 years old)

Now that I'm gluten-free and not drinking, I think that my, um, selection process for dating candidates will be MUCH healthier than before...... :rolleyes: but I had totally ruled out having children....problem is, I really want grandchildren!! :blink:

Susan, there is always hope, and always many possibilities. :)

I've been following this string almost from the beginning. I didn't check it after about 2:30 PM yesterday, so when I checked in this afternoon it had gone from page 101 to page 112!!! I'm so dizzy! :blink:

I'm crashing this slumber party! It's the absolute BEST!!! :D You all are so smart and witty and caring and loving! Hugs and kisses to all! :D:D:D

About babies, sure you can have babies when you're in your forties. Go for it! After my first three, my mother was embarassed to death when I would turn up preggers again. Nice people just don't DO it that often!!! :lol::lol::lol: Poor daddy. ;)

About alcohol, unless something dreadful happens to my body because of it, I intend to have my Jack Daniels every Friday and Saturday night. I'm a loyal Tennessean! :lol:

Rachel, I pray all goes well at the doctor's today. I'll check this string in the morning.

And your ovaries

The ovaries...old, chemically/medicinally fried eggs in there..... :blink:

First need a man, I don't care what that other thread says about not needing the male, I will want one for that.....oh, and I'm done looking, so God himself has to send the guy to me when it's time!

thanks Julie, Floridian, Patti and Andrea for all the encouragement about these older women having babies. You know, I never even really wanted one that badly, until now, when the gluten-haze has been removed - - - somehow I am looking at them now in this whole new light, and then think I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!! :o

Oh, nanny will be required too as I am old and tired. :P

Welcome to the party Cissie.

I think it's pretty hilarious that right when a couple men join in, everyone starts a long conversation about ovaries.

My DH got over his embarassment real quick when I had an emergency need for monistat. He's also been sent out for emergency OTC UTI meds, emergency phazyme, and emergency pregnancy tests. He's also present at Sam's when I buy tampax in bulk :lol:

He's a good kid :)

Sunday marks one year of marital bliss!!!

Personally, I got over the embarassment of buying tampons/pads when I was old enough to need to buy condoms :ph34r:

Andrea-- :o is right! It better be good-eh :D

We usually by the ground beef which is still very pricey but we bought it on sale. I had to call my mom to find out how to do pot roast. I'll still probably have to call her back tomorrow when I make it. Of course I have to adjust ingredients as I can't use wheat flour to coat it in. She also uses onion soup mix which I won't use. I haven't had pot roast for years...probably since I was last living at home...about 20 years ago...that's a long time...hope it's as good as I remember considering my mom won't be making it.

Our grocery budget is through the roof. Organic isn't cheap.

This isn't embarassing or anything, but just today Mark went to Whole Foods for me on his lunch break (it's near his work, but about 45 min from here). The store is under renovations, and he had to ask the guy where my Kiss My Face soap and Zia cleanser were--all the time on the phone with me making sure he got the right things. :rolleyes:

what comes to mind here is my phobia of "proper" words .... I can't say "menstration" and the rest of those.... I get SO embarrassed... now I can say the "slang" for everything and I have no problem.

Well I'm off to my appt. :)

I had to catch up on the thread first...I feel like I'm running late all day today. Late for work, late coming back from lunch and now...if I dont move my butt, late for the appt. Could it be the thread? :o

Nah.... :P

BTW...The last guy I dated wasnt at all bothered when after only a few dates I sent him to the store for tampons. :lol:

It was kind of a test but he wasnt phased at all...I think he was actually happy to do it. :huh:

Many times after that he brought them home....knew exactly which ones to get too!

Oh...we werent living together....alot of times I was too sick to go to the store though so he went for me. :)

      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...

      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...

      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
