YOU KNOW RACHEL..........THIS QUOTE SEEMS TO ME...

"IN MY OPINION' :lol: can't forget to add that god forbid!!! :ph34r: "

ROFL...

Ummm yeah...let me rephrase this....it might sound too much like fact...rather than opinion. <_<

"In my opinion....some people CAN overcome their intolerance when properly diagnosed. In my opinion...this would be considered a non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

In my opinion I will eat PIZZA again!! B)

Just to be sure there is no confusion. ;)

And no...I will not be eating pizza tomorrow...I do take my current restrictions seriously and will only indulge when all is clear. I'm waiting for that green light....may take some time...but PIZZA will still be around. :D

Judy....cant get anything by you!! :lol:

Thanks for the laugh... :wub:

Just got some distressing news ...

I hope this gets resolved. :( I don't know anyone who would be comfortable in that situation.

Everything is progressing, I've come up with a second one, did I mention I am going to produce a line of gluten free foods?

This is great news! :D Can't wait to hear more when the time is right!

..when I'm done here I'm off to shower...then nothing but lay around until my massage. The candles are ready, bubble bath and epsom salts ready, clean jammies ready....

green nail polish...ready! :P

Sounds like a plan :P Have a lovely day, Donna :)

I'm glad you found the culprit. Waiting anxiously to hear how your appointment went. :)

It went fine. I like this doctor--very crisp, business-like demeanor--but I definately got the impression that he knows his stuff. Unfortunately, because of this allergic reaction, he dosen't want to do any bloodwork at all for 2 weeks till all this is out of my system. I made that appt today before I left.

He wants to do a full, fasting workup as well, so we'll see.

This is an allergic reaction, and he feels it is due to the generic med. I asked him why I was suddenly allergic to the active ingredient, and he told me that the active ingredient is not the same as the name brand--it's "close" but not the same. He was not terribly surprised that this happened. <_<

He said it should begin to resolve in about a week. (Probably less if I haden't taken it for 7 days. :ph34r: ) In the meantime, I'm doing Claritin. ;)

Oh, and my BP was very good with only taking the one other med, so he said to try only that until I see him again. Maybe I won't have to go back on the Norvasc at all :rolleyes:

I was more happy to hear that my SIL"s sister was pregnant than that she was eating pizza!

I am, too--how wonderful for her. Have a nice time soaking up those rays B)

Just got some distressing news ... a rapist just moved in four doors down. :angry: He raped a woman at gunpoint ... we live REALLY close to Head Start ... they came out and measured today to see if he was too close ... keeping my fingers crossed. We're also going to call the owner and give him a piece of our mind! :angry::angry::angry: WHAT could he possibly be thinking???? I ALWAYS check criminal records before I lease to someone! Then again, I'm not a slumlord like this guy is.

That is distressing! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too. :)

Well.....*I* would not mind......because that rapist would be scared out of his wits by me, as there is a righteous anger I have always carried, from the Holy Spirit, I think....which is why God never allows me into those situations any more (witnessing the evil terrorizizng the powerless), because I could get myself killed......some of you may know my very fearless and vigilante streak, it has gotten me in some trouble over the years. :ph34r: But there is a way of looking, of seeing into the soul of a person like that - - - - they cannot handle the discomfort of it. I have done this many, many times in my life......with choice words to go with it...... :angry: And I have seen true fear in men from this. they are rendered powerless and it is a battle of good versus evil at that point, a battle of spirits, if you will. I have had girlfriends over the years who have actually called ME in the middle of the night for a perceived intruder or harassment.....and they know I"ll be there immediately, Iriquois Skull Crusher in hand. Am just wondering now, as I often have, how I can channel that fearlessness into something really productive and beneficial for others......

Carla - - it will be quite important to teach your children, I imagine yours alreayd know this but I have had to teach my nieces and the daughters of friends - - how to walk, make eye contact and carry themselves with power and with NO FEAR, and to look at people so carefully as to be able to give a description - - - the way in which to carry themselves so as not to be victims or be harassed.

:ph34r: Sorry for my rant......

Patti - - that man sounds like a great doctor!! What good news. So glad you're doing better.

Some one smack me. Silly me went and bought a air conditioner on Sunday. My Sun-in-law and I spent about 4 hours putting it in yesterday. Now there is ice crystals all over the house. Wait got to go put on my snow suit. Ok I am back, the windows are starting to freeze over and I think I am getting frost bite on my nose. Don't know who is more silly me or my wife. Me for going and buying the darn thing or her because she has those female heat flashes. So it has to run 24 / 7, I think she figures we are all having the hot flashes. Ok got to go out side now to thaw out.

Have a great warm day, :unsure:

Grump,

You sound like a great husband! As someone who's going through those female heat flashes, there's no way I'd get through this summer without an air conditioner.

I know it isn't always easy being the menopause-husband :D Make yourself a nice cup of cocoa, throw on a sweater, and try to stay warm ;)

Gives you lot of time to get the Igenex paperwork sent to you. :D

Sorry you have to wait though......that's a bummer.

It does sound promising that you might be able to drop one med hopefully.

Hey, I just noticed your in Washington....unless I glanced wrong. :ph34r: Are you eastern or western. I'm in Western Washington.....Southwest actually. It's supposed to beautiful....for us that is. Rachel probably still on the cool side for you. :P

OMGosh- Grump that is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! You know you could open a spa in your home and charge admission. My friend was just in Vegas and at the spa at Caesar's they have a room where snow falls! Not very attractive to those of us East Coasters but cool nonetheless! Start chanrging admission- you could open a life-size snow globe! :P :P :P

Patti- Your doctor sounds great! I HATE generic drugs-- they are NOT the same and I am tired of pharamaceutical companies claiming they are. Even though i can't stand michael Moore, I'm glad his new movie is about health care. If nothing else it will bring awareness!

Carla- Thanks for the sauna info!

Susie- I knew you were strong but wow! I would not want to be a bad man staring you down. You go girl!

I hate when you hear that a rapist or pedophile is moving into the area. It's like they have to live somewhere, but why next to Carla? Or any of us for that matter? Where we lived in Portsmouth, there were 10 convicted pedophiles in a one-mile radius. If I had kids, I would have been out of there the day I found that out! I agree with Susie- Carla- arm your kids with pepper spray if you can. That and confidence and knowledge.

I don't like to get political in Rachelville but at least you have 'Megan's Law' in the US allowing you at least to know if your kids are at risk.

There is a huge campaign in the UK for parents here to have the 'right to know' after many, many truly heartbreaking crimes but government keeps blocking it.

I need my own personal Susan!! ;)

..sorry,...horribly off topic :ph34r: ...carry on... :)

Yes, I've taught Morgan as she was becoming a teenager, how to not be a victim.

I took a self-defense class once that taught what you are saying. The teacher said that predators look for victims. He said it might start with, "What time is it?" He said that a man should never ask a woman who is alone this at night, so you should give him some choice words if he does.

Soooo, one time I was walking down the street alone and a business man asked me the time ... because he was so clean cut, I didn't use choice words, but I did say, "Are you serious, don't you know that a gentleman does NOT ask a lady the time after dark?"

Another time, I could hear someone walking behind me, I was getting ready to go into a relatively dark parking lot, so I stopped, turned around, looked him in the eye, then turned around again. He said, "Man, I hope my wife is as careful as you are!" Apparently, I had "the look"!! :lol:

But, predators don't want prey that is self-assured like that. Who knows what the outcome would have been in either case had I not been proactive.

But, just got good news, the guy was moving too close to a school, so the sheriff is not letting him move in.

:lol: No you would indeed not, but you WOULD want to be wtih me if a bad man were staring YOU down! ;) And I will also chase storms with you and Jin. :) NOTHING BETTER than a good thunderstorn - - I leave the doors and windows open. BTW did not know that Michael Moore had a new film on health care, I think t hat should be really eye opening, and he is probably the man to do it...

Update on Stinker's health, full detail is on her "stroke" thread, but, short version - - she is doing SO much better on her fifth day of antibiotic, not really fallign any more, just a bit sideways and confused. Doctor just called, and her thyroid is quite low, poor baby - - so she is going on some meds. That should make her much more comfortable, I am so happy to report.

Grump - you are hilarious - - and I must be mental-pausal also because that ice-crystalled room sounds wonderful! Of course, temps are heading to 100 here - - dang it all....

Just a quick drive by...need to get back to my relaxation, lol.

Just a little hitch in my plan...the therapist at HN called in sick so they had to cancel my massage...BUT, I called the place I usually go to and was able to get in there...so within 45 minutes of the call to cancel, I was on the table. :) I love this place, they are quite good, and the only reason I didn't book here first was because the girl I usually see doesn't work on Mondays or Tuesdays and doesn't work until afternoon. I usually see her on Saturdays, but since BioSET started, I haven't been going. Anyway, the need for massage was great, so I took who was available today, and she was quite good.

So, all deep tissue massaged, nicely bubble epsom salt soaked and now just kicking back...not sure if the green toes will happen today or not...I'll have to play that by ear.

Susan,

Hi Andrea :) Do you mean - - how to carry yourself, etc? I come by it innately, I think....as a very little girl, if I heard a strange noise in teh house at night, I just got out of bed, FURIOUS, and crept around with an aluminum bat, to find the offender(s). My parents never thought anything of this - well, I'm not even sure they knew....but when I was 13, a man with his pants down came to our kitchen window and was, um, amusing himself.......my mom screamed, freaked out, called the cops - - and guess who ran outside to find the guy, with bat in hand? :ph34r:

It is just sad......that I've had - MANY OF US have - - certain "skills" ( :huh: ) or abilities in my life - genetic talents or attributes or whatever - - and never was able to channel them appropriately, really, as my brain was SO messed up and fogged and confused my whole life, until this past year. Maybe I do have Lyme Brain? but from what I've read about that, even, almost nothign of it applies to me.....maybe I"m just really a misfit toy after all..... :( (oh dear, slipping into my unemployment craziness and terror as to what will become of me - - - :o )

Probably a good thing I couldn't become a cop, or something, because most of the miscreants would just cause such a fearsome and holy wrath in me, that I would NOT tolerate it/them...... :lol::ph34r:

So, all deep tissue massaged, nicely bubble epsom salt soaked and now just kicking back...not sure if the green toes will happen today or not...I'll have to play that by ear.

Yay! sounds fantastic, the massage with the DonnaSpa.

YOU'RE NOT A MISFIT TOY!!!!!!! :angry:

You a lovely person with a wonderful personality. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, including yourself! :angry:

We love you and that's that! :wub:

Now, it's probably a good thing you didn't become a cop, but it probably would have been fun for you. :P You'd make a great neighbor though. ;)

Oh, and yes, you could have lyme brain and I'd still love to see you tested. Lots of people are asymptomatic if you take into consideration the children that have autism that test positive for lyme.

You can order pizzas very similar to that at the Risotteria in NY! Thin crust ... we had pesto, feta, and arugula. The bread sticks are to die for ... very salty.

I'll have to find a reason to go to New York. <_<

Oh you and me both!!!! DEfinitely could rachel me some of the rinne bars right about now!

We knew what you were saying! :P

Yay, for a second rinne bar! We have choices!!! Ugh, selling of houses...heinous!

My sweetie found me yesterday morning lying in bed going, "I've got to get off the Rinne bars man'. :ph34r::lol:

......

Selling a house, not fun.....well at least getting it prepped for sale. Sounds like a good counterplan since you can't paint to sit around Rachelville and take in some rays. :P

:lol:

Rinne - - you really should be a writer, you are just an other-worldy creature and I think the above paragraph proves it. (insert winky face here)

...

;):lol:

How's Stinker?

Beverly, such great news about healing from Lyme.

Andrea, how is Talitha?

Patti- updates?

Rachel, the thread we shall not speak of. :lol:

Rinne- I love the REALITY IS NOT A MENU! I'm with you on the celiac diagnosis. I WONDER but I doubt I'll ever challenge it. I just hope that I walk out of this less sesnitive to CC and eating peanut butter. really. That and chocolate.

Glad you like it, :ph34r: and I am totally with you on the less sensitive stuff.

Carla, loved your parking angel story and yes, very scary to have a known rapist nearby.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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 with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. 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.

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

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates?  https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/
