I see you Cecile.

Loves to you also. :wub: Hope your tummy is better today.

I really need to play with the kidlets. Talitha is sulking because I need to spend some time with the baby and she doesn't think it's fun for all of us to play on the floor.

Had to change the pic again ... Adam took this one last night at Maggianos, the other one had been taken at Christmas. There was a great pic of Morgan and I making fish lips that I was going to use, but Adam didn't email it to me.

Morgan, they're not telling you the truth, your hair is ugly, just like I've told you every day ... (I'm so jealous of her hair and the fact that that's how it looks air dried!!!)

Susan, great news about the painting!

Andrea, great pic!

Vincent--Glad that your situation is stable. Continue to take good care of yourself and stay on top of this thing. Is it ok with your doctor to run? If it's still hot down there, don't stay out too long. :)

No way am I going ut side! Its tripple digits! I can not take it much over 80 realy. This running is on my tread mill till fall.

Vincent--One other thing. Have you tried New Balance? My son has problems with his feet, and those are what the podiatrist recommended. They come in many sizes and widths :)

Yes they do, and I used to wear them when running track in HS. LAst store I went to I tired EVERY pair they had in my size range... no go! :(

Hiya Andrea!!! Beautiful picture!!! I have that one already ;):) How are all your little rug rats today? Hope everything is going well with your new lessons! (Did you start teaching or are you just getting ready?)

Don't start until the 4th of September I think.....just trying to get ready. Then I'll really be going through thread withdrawal. I'll be on here as much as possible once school starts but I'll probably be spending most my time keeping up like a lot of you. :D

JoshuaN... I seeeee you... I know you're new and this thread is a bit intimidating, but we really are harmless :) You can join in.

ha ha Cecile, do you think...when hapless visitors come to our thread, that they start waaaaaaaaaaay back at the beginning, or go to the end? oh God help them if they start at the end..... :lol:

I love your new signature addition (but I will say that I miss the choo choo click clack) :P

I have my own OMG revelation that I noted on a different thread.

I have had knee to ankle pains for the last 6 years. I just noticed a week or so ago that they are finally gone. I have a sneaky suspicion that the gluten and/or soy was the culprit. I had always figured it was a nerve or something from my first pregnancy that never got back to normal. Sure glad that it was just food related. :P

Mitch was talking to another driver while he was waiting up north last night. She had said that HSP causes problems with the liver, everything I've read online has said the kidneys. Wonder if it could be both. I don't know if I should ask the doctor tomorrow or not. He doesn't think Talitha will have any problems. I will be real curious to see what happens with the first cold this season. It supposed to come back, but not as bad then. I wonder if the severity could have something to do with gluten. After all, rheumatoid arthritis and abdominal pain are also part of gluten intolerance.

EDIT: The fellow driver is also familiar with celiac/gluten intolerance and the probelms with soy. He was quite surprised about that. She normally hauls bees and honey for one of the owners of the business who has a berry and honey business also. They must of needed an extra driver for the main business which is primarily lumber.

Andrea, I always had bad joint pain in my knee, mainly my left knee, my wrist, and my thumbs. It's pretty much gone now that I'm gluten-free, but I noticed it bugging me again a little, not nearly as bad as before. I had been taking glucosimine, chondroitin, and msm, but ran out a month ago, guess I need more.

<----- I can't seem to do anything with my hair today :D

Gums and Giggles sure has grown up fast......and what did you to her pretty smile, eyes, nose and hair?!?! :blink:

Baby alert.....Didn't I just put him down.....oh, I guess it has been an hour. Talitha had me putting together a puzzle on the computer which took 44 minutes.

Don't worry, come into the Rachelville salon and I'm sure we could fix it in some way :rolleyes: . A little trimming... and maybe even a little bow on top to finish it up :D .

Seriously, you're the cutest ostrich around. :P

Now, off to find the kids under the crib. That has become there favorite thing to do when Seth wakes up. My daughter gets him (since he's next to my side of the bed) and takes him underneath to hide. :P

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

No!! Leave them there for at least ten minutes while you enjoy a tea and some social time with your buddies!! Then tell your kids how well they hid! You get some quiet time, they get to think you can't find them! It's a win-win situation!! :lol: Yell out once in a while, where are you? :rolleyes:

I think I gave them 5 while I was on here. Talitha took Seth into the closet this time. Good thing he's not afraid of the dark.....yet. :P

Good idea though. :lol::lol:

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

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

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free. Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
