I think I will definitely call tomorrow

:lol: Sounds like a sure thing! :lol:

I thought it was in the cheek (not the ones on your face :lol: ) .

If you decided to give it there, be sure you have someone show you where. You don't want to hit the nerve. Basically, divide the cheek into four imaginary quadrants ... it goes in the upper quadrant on the outside of the body.

Thigh sounds easier.

Our man Tom is a hoot, we'd better keep him.

You two are both a hoot.

Tom, I think the additional question should be "Do you have a girlfriend?" You two seem to have a lot in common. :P

How old is he, late thirties ... same as you, Susan, right. ;););)

confession - - I have padded the OMG thread with nothing but goofiness. So sorry for the pages and pages you have all had to read......will compress. ;)

Don't! We like it this way!!!

Don't u dare!!

And I bet someone reversed something on the bone scan. ["What? We're supposed to get *all* of them perfect?"]

Um, just you watch, soon we will get busted and kicked into another 'hood. That is how R2 started.

maybe we can be silly on the Silly Yak thread? it's like a Seinfeld episode over there - we talk about NOTHING. :lol:

did you guys know how HEINOUSLY HEINOUS my doctor is (not my beloved GI)? that she looked at me during my "physical" (which lasted all of three minutes and I think she missed my wildly irregular heartbeat BECAUSE SHE DIDN"T LISTEN TO IT :angry: ) and said, What is gluten? What is it in? and she never even heard my answer...

so veyr well true indeed that misinterpretation is rampant there. No one cares.

:angry:

:o:lol: um, are you SURE about that?? :)

Absolutely positive!!! :D

forgot to tell you guys, had my bone density scan (per GI's request) two weeks ago....just got results. Shows medium risk in LEFT hip and upper thigh....that is so strange, bc my RIGHT hip and upper thigh are always killing me......maybe the girl at doctor's ofc. was reading wrong?

So what does the acticel (or whatever it was) do?

Do you think celiac caused any of this?

Don't you dare! :angry: We love you and all the pages you've padded on here. :wub:

:lol:;);) ;) yes indeed-y. ha ha ha ha

FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRST of all, Tom is GU (geographically undesireable, lives in PHoenix, WHICH IS HOTTER THAN FRESNO, for Pete's sake, but closer than my other boyfriend in GEORGIA)...........

Second, I will bet anything that he is married. :lol: The interesting ones always are.

:P:P:P

Um, BTW, it says on my page how old I am. am going to change that now. I was hit on by a 30-year-old two weeks ago at my pub, he thought I was 35, stayed for half an hour at our table, until I told him how old I actually was.......within 5 minutes he left.

LAST time I tell anyone my age. ;)

oops - I think I am re-telling stories.

:ph34r::lol:

and also, padding the pages with a whole lotta nuttin.

Do you think celiac caused any of this?

ABSOLUTELY! And I was quite blessed to have it diagnosed when I did, I was so malnourished that really horrible damage could have been done had I not been sent (by EEEJIT doctor) to a competent GI. My intestinal problems, after all, were not intolerable.....I didn't even care and just figured all of it was from nerves. :o

Where is Tom....he is going to be embarassed (CARLA!!!) when he comes back...... :lol:

He got diagnosed with Celiac in the early 60's......or was it just the 60's. I'm thinking around 40-45.

Reporting in doctor's appointment: I have my first meeting with my naturopath tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait because I'm so tired of feeling so awful all the time.

Hopefully, I'll be on the path to good health soon, and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for you all tomorrow night!

Thanks again for this thread; it's really like a gift for me at a time like this, as no one in my family or friends really "gets" it and what it's like to feel sick all the time, so I'm very thankful for all of you!

That was mostly due to the fact that those who needed help were being ignored while everyone else was busy having fun. As long as we keep the thread supportive of EVERYONE, we should be fine......am I right Rachel?

Oh sweet! I'm not ready for a game yet - was just shootin around a little.

Used to play in games 3-4x/wk b4 1st getting sick. Pretty often for a guy in late 30s. The whippersnappers seemed more energetic every year.

It's good to hear you can play again. Helps give me more hope. (But can ya "leap over a small forward for a single reBound"? Hehehhe)

I thought he gave a clue to his age ... I guess it all depends on when he got sick.

:lol::lol:

JULIE!!! we were wondering where you were. SO GOOD that you're seeing the naturopath!!

Um, hey, I"ll send you some seeds if you send me some delicious salmon. My mom and I went to Costco the other day, I unloaded everything from car except a huge slab of salmon and some chips, in the very back....didn't realize it until late that night. ALMOST cooked and ate the salmon.....who cares....but thought better of it and had to throw whole thing out. :(

dingo must sign off, 60 Minutes is on.

what a hoot! lots of fun today.

Most of us here don't have a brain, so having a bit of brain fog is not a negative here! :P

So, 45 and single. We're going to need to see a picture ... not for my sake, I'm happily married ... but if you're going to be flirting around here, I'm the screener. Remember, we're shallow! :lol:

Thanks for all the birthday wishes for my mom, we had a very nice day.

Beverly, sorry the herxing is so heinous. :(

Susan, glad you weren't gone for long. :)

Donna - - my mojitos would not poison you. :) They have magical restorative qualities and are reputed to cure any condition. :lol: It's fun to sip with dingos, they're such lovely company. Just now and then, 'twould be nice to have someone raise a glass and stare lasciviously at me for something other than remnants of my food.

.....

I'll have one of those magical mojitos.

As to lasciviousness, I suggest you take that late thirty energy and exercise it :P before you find yourself fifty and preferring to shop. :lol::lol:

....

for once.....I am actually out of words......and just savoring the fact that it is no accident that we all find ourselves here together in this magical place.....we are all here, a family, for a reason, and the reasons just build and build.

....

Yes, yes, yes.

Rachel, so glad your appointment went well, great news about the treatment that you thought you would have to travel for being available right there.

Whew! I think I've been reading for an hour. That'll teach me not to go shopping.. :P ....we were only almost completely out of food.

:lol:

:ph34r:<_<

Thanks again for this thread; it's really like a gift for me at a time like this, as no one in my family or friends really "gets" it and what it's like to feel sick all the time, so I'm very thankful for all of you!

Julie, that is exactly how this thread was created, I'm so glad you found us. :)

ROTFLMAO

Jin, I love your use of language. I know I wanted to respond to something you said but I dingo'd it. :(

Leaving for a whole day is risky, I've been reading for nearly an hour. :lol:

I'm sorry about Alison leaving, I'm not sure what heinous thread it was. There were a couple that started to heat up :( but I didn't stick around.

I find I have very limited energy for conflict these days. I prefer to accept that others see things differently than I do.

Hi Donna, Laura, Patti, Andrea, Tom, Miamia.....

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
