Susan,

The new avatar is for you.....temporarily.

I'll be back. Gotta reboot the computer, it's going schizoid on me. It's all the nugget's fault! :blink:

It opens a new window everytime I click on something. :ph34r:

Andrea, I know what you mean. I was searching hotels in Cape May and now I have about 20 little white boxes on my screensaver :blink::o:(

Rachel -- I know I have the same moodieness problem, and I don't think it's hormonal. It is more pronounced since my dx, but it is getting bad. ie. Last night I got mad at DW for FLIPPING THE PAGES ON THE NEWSPAPAER TOO LOUD!! :blink::o:unsure:

Sounds silly, and NEVER would I get mad at her for anything, but the paper think was driving me CRAZY!!

Anyway, I read somewhere, that moodinesscan be a signed that we have been glutened or something. I know that can be the number one symptom for me.

Carla -- Love the new pic.

Talk to you all in the morning.

Donna -- I can relate about the Bumble Bar thing. ;)

I completly get like this and I hate it. If I am having a bad day . Especially is I am trying to eat any extra noise sends me over the edge. The other day I was in this health center I go to and I have the sweetest lady who treats me there she was asking me to explain symptoms and I felt like I already had I just started snapping at her then I would apologize and feel really bad but I would snap at her again. By the time I left I still felt bad and super guilty on top of it. I hate that I get like this

On the bright side of things....if I was still eating pizza and Baskin Robbins...I would have not met all of you. :wub:

Thanks, no wild oats or whole foods around here. Went to Trader Joe's - they didn't have it. Will check some of the smaller places.

Glad you got to eat out. I've eaten at Carrabas a few times- their Chicken Brian is really good. :P

A health section of a grocery may even have it.

Ummmm, straight sugar probably wouldn't be so good. How 'bout a bag of nuggets, chocolate chips, bumble bars, or container of ice cream. :P

Those seems to be the vices on this thread.

Umm, you forgot coffee .... I'm indulging today!! :) But, I'm not going to Rachel it ... I hope ...

Susie Q..did you go with your orange hair :blink::huh::o:lol::lol:

Wanted to say Good Morning to everybody :)

I missed so much last night--don't know where to begin :blink:

Andrea--I missed your avatar (I think!) what was it?

Rachel--you know that I hope that you get to the bottom of everything. I've been following everything, and while I get overwhelmed with all of the info sometimes, I marvel at your tenacity! I also agree with everyone about The Dave :ph34r:

Carla--I hope you enjoy your coffee and 1/4 of a donut today. It's gonna taste like heaven after all this time :D

Vincent--Sounds like you got a bad coconut :( How would you test for a good one anyway :huh:

Julie--Orange hair??? Say it ain't so :lol:

Susan--I'm so happy to see you on and having some fun again! You sound perkier to me the last couple of days! :D

Judy--Hey buddy, hang in there! :) Did you and Jim have a nice drive yesterday?

Oops! I goofed :D It's not Julie with the orange hair, it's Susan :o I'm so confused :blink:

ok my vice I cannot have dairy but really do sometimes need ice cream. So even though I am allergic to soy I eat this one brand of soy ice cream that doesn't cause a really bad reaction . Lately I am eating it every night- I don't rachel it - but now I think I am addicted to it

I know about Rache--I left you a message over there.

Sorry to hear you're in so much pain. Will you be able to go swimming this week? That may help...maybe?

They left yesterday morning. I'm fine--started to paint the chairs (the sun was out) and 40 minutes later, it started to rain! :angry:

Good luck with the yard work--I hope the weather holds for you. Our weather is nuts, and they never seem to predict it right. Like yesterday when I was just getting into the painting, and felt rain! I'm using black paint, too--and where the water drops hit, the original color bled thru :angry: So as soon as it dries back out, I have to do those over. <_<

I also need to mow the lawn--gottta wait till that dries out, too. By tomorrow afternoon, I figure, I'll be kinda busy :unsure:

Hate it when my husband is away :lol:

JUDY!!!!! don't worry, dear one!! Yes, folks, was experimenting with highlights yesterday....did a test strand - left it on for over an hour - didn't like it - - um, somehow decided I'd just put some on my own head (I had cut the test strand off) and leave it on briefly .....OMG - it was COPPER PENNY ORANGE - - :ph34r: (my mom verified this) and I had to go out last night - - so I just put some temporary darker dye on it - that's how I was able to leave, Judy. :) But this means, Carla, I have to PAY someone lots of money for corrective coloring now..... :angry:

Why do I WAKE UP feeling SO tired????? :( I want to jump out of bed like I used to (I'm sure many of us do)....

Rachel - overcast - - it's that way here too and I"M in HEAVEN!!!!! I know you miss the heat but holy cow, I feel like I"m in Monterey again!

on a completely unrelated note....one of my dogs ate almost an entire abalone shell last night! :o WHAT is that about - I found abalone crumb remnants (so sad as I actually found one on the beach in Carmel, and you NEVER see them!)....is this pica?

okay gotta try and wake up now..... -_--_--_-

Good morning everyone!

Have fun Rachel......not. I certainly wouldn't have fun. I have a yard full of weeds. You ever notice how grass grows where you don't want it and weeds grow everywhere else? :blink:

Patti, the avatar was of a bag of nuggets. :D Trying to get Rachel to tell me what ice cream she its. She's not divulging it. :lol:

Miamia, be careful about that ice cream. Good to see you. :)

Susan, enjoy your cooler day down there.

Carla, easy on the coffee today and make sure you only eat 1/4 of a doughnut. I could never eat a quarter of a doughnut unless it was a BIG doughnut. Of course....I don't eat doughnuts anymore. I used to make some healthy homemade ones that weren't anything like the store bought sugar filled ones.

My 1/4 of a Kinnikinnick vanilla donut was DELICIOUS!!! I'm still enjoying my mug of Newman's Own Special Decaf with Vance's! VERY YUMMY!! I'm actually allowed to have one cup of coffee per day ... but I think that's just so people are more likely to stay on the diet, I figure I'll heal faster totally off it, which is what I'm reading on the internet and in my book. So, Sunday for me means 1/4 of a donut and a cup of coffee!

Mia, you might be craving it every night BECAUSE you are intolerant to it .... that's what happens to me!

Susan, sorry about the hair. As you learned the hard way, when lifting color, you have to let it process the whole time, especially when you have dark hair, or you get orange .... See a pro, wish you were here, my colorist might chew you out, but she'd fix it :P .... I pay a fortune for my hair color, but hubby doesn't care because he hates my natural color. :lol:

Patti, orange hair?? I must have missed something :lol:

Andrea, I am going to guess Rachel is eating Haagen Dazs...am I right? :lol:

Mia Mia- I was just going to post something to you today, been wondering how your food challenges have been going. So sorry you had a bad day yesterday.

Vincent, sounds like the coconut might have been spoiled. If the eye was easy to get into that would be my first clue, only because I have heard they are like fortresses to break open :lol: and then the fact that it was yellow and tasted like household cleaner.....I'm sure a bag of sugar would be needed after that :lol:

I made cookies last night :ph34r: Peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies and they were GOOD :D I don't know what is going on with me but I am Racheling cookies lately, either Pamelas Chocolate Chunk or the ones I have made.

We are all Racheling everything right now, what's up with that? Must be the moon or something....

Susie, hope your mischevious girl is ok, that can't be good for the digestive tract, I wouldn't think :blink: but then again dogs do eat everything, like canine garbage disposals :lol:

Off to watch football, have a great day everyone! :)

Nope... :P

I dont think Haagen Dazs makes organic ice cream?? I was eating haagen dazs moths ago but it has eggs in it....which dont agree with me...also my eyes got irritated...they got itchy with dry red skin. It was nothing too terrible or even noticeable but still a bad sign that my body wasnt liking something in the ice cream.

I have a book on mercury poisoning that I got about 3 years ago. I could never read it cuz it sounded so much like what was going on with me....it scared me because I knew at the time that NOONE was gonna help me. Now that I have this doctor I'm reading it and learning alot. :)

Theres alot about diet in the book. It explains exactly how mercury causes digestive problems, intolerances, hypoglycemia, what foods are most problematic etc. It explains exactly what is taking place in the body that leads to endocrine (thyroid) problems, hormonal problems, brainfog, depression, memory impairment and all the other brain dysfunctions that can occur. Its really interesting and I can relate to pretty much all of it.

I wanna share some of the stuff it says but I dunno about copyright infringements and stuff like that?? :unsure:

I caused some drama once by typing out (word for word) what it said on my Triumph dining card. :ph34r:

I was just trying to be helpful. :rolleyes:

Anyways, is it still an infringement if I explain what I read in my own words?? :unsure:

Rachel,

I don't have toxicity (maybe I should say yet), but I know I have mercury in my body since I have amalgams. My hair analysis showed low mercury.

I would like to know the foods. You could paraphrase things you wanted to share. If you just type out a couple paragraphs and quote the source of information that should be ok.

I don't see how it could be a problem if you just tell us about it. Oh gosh--I remember the Triumph guy...

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.
