Patti, I am having problems with my vitamins too, I started taking a liquid vitamin but then threw up the other morning and was sick to my stomach for several hours and now I don't know what to do.

I seem to be stalled, I got quite a bit better and then I just got stuck.

Page 300, that is just too amazing. :)

The corn science is scary and yes we may all have to plant our own gardens again if we want real food. I read something recently about them growing meat in sheets. :( I don't understand it and it just creeps me out even thinking about it. My sweetie and I are buying a lot in a little town, it has water, electricity, a septic field and costs less than a thousand dollars. We won't be moving there right away but I hope it will become our summer place and where we can grow lots of vegies to eat and to store through the winter.

Cecile, I wonder if there is anyone in your area that is doing Community Shared Agriculture.

Rachel, glad you got the thyroid thing figured out.

Ok as Senator of Rachelville........

I just got solicited, as most Senators do....from a fellow I used to date in college. He then, thought I was wonderful, but not as much I did of him. THIRTY YEARS AGO. He found me though Classmates.com. Soooo, he did some searching.

He would like to see me, talk to me on the phone, and visit me in my home town... blah, blah,blah. I did tell him that I have been married for 27 years and he said "any contact is good contact"

So what does the tribunal think of this? A ghost from the past. It is very stange for me because during that time, my parents died and I have no contact with anyone in my past for almost 30 years. It has brought up memories that I thought have died long ago...and I can remember things. By the way, he is 55 and he said he has never married and has always thought of me for all these year. Gad, can't a girl get a break. And, yes, before anyone asks, Yes I am flattered, he said some pretty nice things about me (at 19, so where is the reality.)

I told my Jim about this (he's the other Jim) , and I have always entertained his female school friends with good enjoyment with no issue.

Hubby, said not problem meeting him, but in reality, he REALLY doen't think it will happen.

So, a great new issue for Rachelvillians tonight. How should I pursue this?

(On another note, the moon is getting close to full...Karen, undercover)

Lisa,

As a man I can tell you... do not meet with him. Men think differently then woman, and most likly he is not intrested in "freinds". If I was your husband, I would not be comfortable with it at all, not because I would not trust you... but cause I know better hten to trust HIM.

Just my thoughts on it... now to find a couner crawl up in, realy messed up at dinner. :(

Yeah, I know. :( He was betwen chicks and thought on a whim, that I might be single. The chick movies kinda deal....long lost love reconnected thing.

It is so very strange to me (good and bad feeling) that after 30 year, someone still has thoughts of me. Flattering, oh yeah!... So for all you guys out there, talk sweet to your girl. You never know who's out there. ;);)

Cecile,

Container gardening would probably be best for you in the sand. You can buy soil to put in them, just make sure they are well watered and have an outlet on the bottom. I need to figure that out too.

Susan,

I'm sorry you didn't get to hike....sounds like the girls had a good time though.

Lisa,

I agree with Vincent and Cecile....My husband agrees with them too.

Rinne,

Sometimes we hit a plateau and it takes a while to start feeling better or whatever the case may be. Don't give up. :P

Vincent,

I hope you recover quickly from your meal out tonight.

Tavi,

How was your mini trip?

I would say it would of been great if he came and met your hubby and you, but the whole any part of you is better than no part, that kind of creeps me out. And the fact he is 55 and never been married. I think I would pass on it. My 2 cents :D:D:D

To everyone else, I am back from Reno and Hot August Nights. It was fun to see all the old cars, but I am glad to be home

(pant !pant! I think gasp! I am caught up pant! pant! whew!)

Cecile--I grow tomatoes, red peppers, basil, cilantro, parsley, rosemary, mint, catnip, and dill in big plastic containers on my deck. Get potting soil, not dirt--it's more expensive but the plants do SO much better!

Lisa--a few years ago, it seemed like ALL my old boyfriends came out of the woodwork and looked me up. One put it in a very beautiful way--he said that he was hitting a birthday milestone, and going over past memories, and that all those memories made up the fabric of his life, or something like that Anyway, it turned out that he and my husband both grew up in San Jose, and his grandmother ran the Japanese Sunday School that my husband attended as a child, and my husband remembered this guy's uncles, of all things. They ended up emailing each other back and forth, which felt just a wee bit odd to me!

Anyway, of all the old boyfriends that looked me up, I didn't get the feeling from any of them that they wanted to reconnect romantically--they just wanted to check out what I was doing with my life and with whom.

Of course, when they saw me very happily married, with 3 children, the youngest of whom we dubbed the Velcro Baby because I could NEVER put her down, that may have dampened any concealed interest!

Okay, I will add to the story. He was a Senior in college at a male college at the time. I was a freshman, at a girls college and just away from home. He gave me his ring and said shortly he would replace it with "another". Toooo much toooo soon and I backed off. I truely believe that I broke his heart.

So.......he was wanting to marry me, but never married.What did I do to this guy. (no, not gay) :blink:

The only conclusion that I have that I was the ultimate standard, no one else could cut it. B) Yeah, in my dreams.

Vincent, haven't had contact since I wrote that "my husband and I would ...

I love this..........I seem to alway struggle with my past and my future. I have soooooooo very little contact with any one or any where in almost 30 years. My parents are gone, my home place is gone, I have no contact with anyone from my pre-married years.

Someone searching me out was more of an "ephiphany" to me......in that a reminder to me that I did have a life, I knew people, I went places, and I "may" have imprinted someone.

It though, has brought back some memories that I have put away.. :ph34r:

And everyone else with unknown ailments...good luck, feel better!

Ya know, I don't want any man from high school (or college) to reconnect with me. Of the ones that would, one is gay and I might punch him upon seeing him anyway, one's in the priesthood, one was one of those wierd things, and several I'd rather not remember ever again.

I give up... off to find that courner to crawl in to... ttfn! :(

Feel better, Vincent!

You know what's fun? Sorting through tax returns to figure out what to put on the FAFSA, and then having parents stage a coup d'etat in the troop :rolleyes:

Maybe it's more of a mutiny...

Anyway...

Funfunfun...

Vitamins-wow, I cannot find a vitamin that either ds or myself can tolerate. I remember on here that there was a question about folic acid being troublesome--too tired and brainfogged to remember it, though.

Lisa,

No, no no...I would NOT go see this man. Nothing good can come of it. He's flattering you already. Even married women can be swept off their feet by a love from their past. I see no good in it. Maybe you can continue talking to him so that you can be more clear what his motives are before you see him (if you wish to do so). What if you get wrapped up in the moment, or the flattery, or the memories of the past?? Nobody is above this....even in a perfect marriage things can go awry. I wouldnt take that risk....but thats just me. ;)

Ok...corn. The chips I ate were organic corn chips. One brand even said non-gmo. I try to get the "safest" stuff. But still....there were blisters. I dont know alot about the Starlink corn but I do know that it was BAD. <_<

Penguin...dont worry about not knowing about masa or Auxigro. You are on gluten right now and we all understand. ;) It will all be over soon. :D

Andrea....what?? You dont want the Altoid Trophy?? :lol::lol::lol:

You crack me up.

Great job on the updated list too! :)

Rachel, dear cracker addicted president, I have the brain fog so much lately, I would never know when someone else was brain fogged. You all make perfect wonderful sense to me no matter what!!!

:lol: Robbin, trust me...you would notice if I actually posted when I was truelly brainfogged like I was last night. I seriously could NOT post at all cuz my brain was really fried. I had to wait until I could write small sentences that sounded normal. It got better as the night progressed.

It scares the heck out of me every time....I start thinking I'll never get back to normal again. It doesnt matter how many times I go through it...it still freaks me out! I feel soooo dumb and when I try to write....it seems like maybe I'm in kindergarten. :huh:

Its the most bizzare thing....I can never get used to feeling that way.

I must go back now cuz I've forgotten stuff already. :rolleyes:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .
