Andrea, I hope you don't feel bad, then again, if you don't, how will you ever convince your mom a little is too much!!?? I'm going to my grandmothers on Tuesday, so I'm hoping all will go well. I told her not to be offended if we get there and I decide not to eat because of some contamination issue she didn't think of, that it's taken me a few months to learn how to take care of myself, that I can't teach her how to in a phone call. After our arrival, I'll be helping with the cooking, so all will be okay then.

She always makes meringue cookies for us, so I told her to get Enjoy Life choc chips or nuts so that I could eat some, too. She was very agreeable. And I warned her about no flour, no crumbs, no porous cookware, so hopefully all will be okay. I usually eat a couple dozen of those cookies myself!! :o:P

Gotta love those enjoy life cookies.....they are much too small. Very easy to eat too many. Sounds like we may have a Rachel problem too. :o:rolleyes:

Yes, my mom thinks we are being too picky. I've heard that numerous times over the years. My reaction is over within 24 hours normally and not that bad. I agree that she needs to understand that "a little" is too much for us.

No, not Enjoy Life cookies .... Grammie's homemade meringue cookies with Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips!!!!! I could never indulge in that many store bought cookies, I'm a cookie snob!!

You know I stopped over-indulging in single items once I got my weight up. I'd sit down and eat a whole bag of Ruffles ... now I'm down to a few chips at a time. I usually indulged in just one food, maybe that was my tummy's way of being easy on itself. Like "Don't eat ice cream and chips, only one or the other, please!!"

I used up all of my Enjoy Life chocolate chips and NO ONE carries them here. So, I email the gluten free store on this forum to see if they can send me a case or two of them frozen (remember I live where it is HOT). The lady was so nice, but she found out that they won't send any of the non frozen items in freezer boxes. I have to wait until this winter to order enough to last me a year. They are so good and taste just like the regular ones.

Who said the bird probably stinks? I took a bath this morning before I went to the grocery store. And I even fluffed my hair and put on my red lipstick.

I tried Retinol based cream once and got peeling skin with irritation.

It's too harsh for some skin types -

I've been letting nature take it's course as regards skin. The more I fuss with it, the more problems I create.

My husband and I stoped having Friday night dinner at my MIL and SIL's place for this reason (CC) and it was really due to carelessness and kind of blatant on SIL's part. Now when someone asks why we don't go there anymore I say that they aren't "kosher" . It got a few people confused when I jused that phrase in conjunction with Christmas dinner, but they caught on that I was talking about "CC" issues.

Well, here I am again, aging as gracefully as possible without losing my face. Do you goofy young'uns need instructions? I have a few secrets I'll be happy to share.

1. If there's a large mirror in your bathroom, never look into it when you're just stepping out of the shower! I haven't looked at my naked body in fifteen years.

2. Never look at yourself in the full-length mirrors in dressings rooms until you are fully clothed. Even then, do not look at your face under those flourescent lights.

3. Remember that all overhead lighting is your enemy. Remodel your bathroom to exclude overhead lights; instead install soft lighting on both sides of your mirror.

4. Put on your makeup in this soft light; go out and have a good time; and never look at your face in another mirror until you get home.

Do you get my drift here? Mirrors are not our friends. That's because we women see ourselves as we really are. :( Men, on the other hand, begin to lose all touch with reality after their 30th birthday. Somehow they become vision-impaired when gazing into mirrors. Do they see wrinkles, sagging pot bellies, multiple chins, shiny bald heads? No indeedy. They only see the bodies of the 18-year-old studs they used to be! And that explains why they believe the flattery of sweet young things looking for a sugar daddy. Men are hilarious! :lol:

5. Wear long sleeves. A few years ago one of my little grandsons was affectionately squeezing my well-covered upper arm, when he suddenly stopped and gasped, "Grandmama, are you OLD?" Thereafter I added:

5-B. Allow no upper arm squeezing. :o

Dinner time, so bye y'all! Talk to you later.

Cissie, you tore me up. I started on number one and lost it. How funny. Number five I have a hard time with. When it is 115 outside and I plan on being out for awhile, I HAVE to wear cap sleeves as it is just too hot. I just try and pretend that my upper arms (and lower arms) are when I was 20 - he he. I also try and keep them tucked into my sides while I am talking with someone. And since I am a talking ostrich, they never look beyond my beak.

Cissie - - - so fantastic. Yes, I know about all those things.....and there are mirrors all over the place here. Maybe I"ll just throw black cloths over each, mourning the passing of.....my youth. :ph34r:

Ehrin - - thank you for your input! Kinda crazy here....what must you think of us.....

But POO, it is really not fair to be 44 and STILL break out AND have wrinkles at the same time (my wrinkles are actually not bad.....and two people were astonished yesterday that I was 44 - nearly shrieked. Guess that was good).

These days, girls, there are just good days and bad, appearance-wise.....fewer good days.....holy cow.....I do NOT LIKE AGING one single bit......need to join a gym again and become at least physically very strong again.....THAT part I CAN control!

CArla - how is your dizziness - - must be from that evil bite thing you have to use......

CECILE - - dingbat - - here I am, ever-so-briefly, where are you now...you will be so sad....when you see that I"ve been here - - and you were not....... :( BUT IT IS SUNDAY, my favorite day, and I am a busy little dingo-girl here....painting furniture in teh garage, and worked up a full sweat. Very hot here - what was I thinking.....and there is staring, lots and lots of staring from two restless dogs who want to play.....later, much later when it is cool we are going to do this illegal thing we do here - - - run like wild dogs through the 'hood, it's totally against the rules, no leashes - - we do it when it's dark and have never been caught....ha ha ha ha :P:P:P

Carla, Armetta, I'm always available to give helpful advice on True Life.

Cecile, you're as crazy as I am.

And is Dances with Rivers still in that garden? She will need coffee for her aches and pains tonight. Or . . . a nice box of frozen spinach?

Good night and pleasant dreams to all.

Cissie

Let's see, must address said instructions:

1. If there's a large mirror in your bathroom, never look into it when you're just stepping out of the shower! I haven't looked at my naked body in fifteen years.

Check ... once glanced back when I was stepping in and frightened myself and the dog after I screamed.

2. Never look at yourself in the full-length mirrors in dressings rooms until you are fully clothed. Even then, do not look at your face under those flourescent lights.

Check.... those rooms are pure evil :ph34r:

3. Remember that all overhead lighting is your enemy. Remodel your bathroom to exclude overhead lights; instead install soft lighting on both sides of your mirror.

Check.... this again is why I am angry at Thomas Edison... we should have stayed with candles.

4. Put on your makeup in this soft light; go out and have a good time; and never look at your face in another mirror until you get home.

Check.... once glanced in a mirror at the mall not knowing I was looking at myself and was thinking... good googly moogly she needs some make-up.

Hi party bird!

When do we get to see a picture of you again?

Inquiring minds want to know. :huh:

Headache is getting better after musty, moldy fumes from an old photo album that Mitch cleared the pictures out of. He promptly got rid of the old album and pages so it wouldn't stink up the house. :P

The list is on the new Rachelville 2 thread......I know how much you love to read those. :lol:

Are you saying you don't like this picture of me? I was trying to pose very pretty for the camera.. :D ..it's a bit hard to smile with a beak tho...

We (Mitch and I) would prefer to think of you as better looking than a bird, eventhough it is a cute picture. From Mitch: Only Dr. Doolittle can talk to birds. :lol::P

Tell Mitch he is wrong!! My bird says, "Cmere, step-up" when he wants out of his cage! He woke up one morning and said, "Hi Baby, howya doin, I love you, cmere!" I nearly fell over laughing!! Today at lunch, Adam yelled, "Hey" then the bird yelled back, "Hey, what?"

Birds definately talk!!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
