Morning/afternoon all! :D

Morgan.....like the new pic.

We decided to start school a week early.....so tomorrow it is. Gotta get a few more art supplies and need to print out some more aids then we are set to go....I think. Talitha is very excited. Maybe I'll be a better writer and a little more artistic when I get done teaching all three kids.....then again, maybe not. :lol:

Yea, where is everyone?

Did you go to St. Paul's or are you going tonight? I think the students generally like the 5:30 or 9PM masses.

I went this morning...I have some dorm meeting and a bar-b-que tonight.

Tavi,

I don't know....we talk sometimes on myspace too. But she responds quicker on here. We both seem to be on here a lot so the conversation just happens.

Yea, it's just because I saw her here. We text on our phones and talk, too. Usually we're both on here to chat with all of you, and think of things to say to each other.

I know I tried to edit it out because I thought it sounded rude, but I had already been quoted. I didn't mean it to sound rude, I was just curious. I must go hang my head in shame now :ph34r::P:ph34r:B):ph34r:

Me, too.

Morgan's been a huge help to me, and believe it or not, more of our chatter is off this forum. It's just a habit ... I think we even drive my husband/her father crazy when we're together. We text and talk every day, too. I'd email her if she ever checked her email!

Plus, none of you were around last night or this morning when we got on!!!! ;) That made it seem like we were using this as our own personal chat room!! :P

I check my email twice a day (sometimes more) bc I have to watch out for emails having to do with school. But I am on here a lot more than that.

Ok as long as I didn't hurt anyones feelings! Boy, now I know why I don't have any friends! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I really was just curious and then when I re-read it I thought it sounded rather rude. I really do enjoy seeing you chatter at each other, it reminds me of myself and my daughters.

Anyway, I tried to edit before anyone read it but it was already quoted. So sorry :(:(:(

Thank-you for your forgiveness, on with the Carla and Morgan show, please!!!! :lol::lol::lol:

Good afternoon Rachelville,

This is as deserted as I have ever seen it :( a very sad sight...

Tavi, if it's any consolation I am completely in the dark over what you posted :lol: , but I tend to miss most everything and be a little on the oblivious side!

I also want to say that I enjoy the B Girls conversations, you guys have a great mother/daughter relationship, that seems rare these days. It's been fun being in the midst of all of it :lol:

Andrea, so you made a decision on starting school!!!! That's great :D Best of luck getting started, I know it will keep you very busy but it's going to be a wonderful experience for you and the kids. Check in when you can.

Julie,

Checking in. :D

Just got back from getting all (hopefully) of the art supplies for the year.....plus some. :P

It has been quiet in here. A lot of people must be getting in their last bit of fun before school starts for the year again.

Welcome Carrie, glad to have you. :D

Prince Edward island. My dad was there about 10 years ago during the fall colors. He loved it. That was when he was traveling in the RV. He even got to meet my husband's mother before I did. He stopped on his way through Pennsylvania.

It's been quieter here lately, so not too hard to keep up with. Almost everything is chit chat anyway.

I grew up on PEI and it is a beautiful place. I highly recommend going there for a vacation in late July/early August and going to the beaches. They are gorgeous.

Carrie, I LOVE your new avatar! I didn't know your wedding was so soon. I thought it was farther in the future.

My 8.5 year old son is reading Anne of Green Gables right now. I convinced him to read it. I said that the book was really really good, but he might get a bit hung up on the writing style because it's sixty years old and the story took place longer ago than that. We take turns, I'll read out loud and then he'll do silent reading for a while. I think he's enjoying it.

Wow, seems like so much is going on since I last read here. I am just here long enough to read a few and check in with everyone.

We are headed to the neurologist in PA tomorrow for my sons first visit with one since he was discharged from his stay in the hospital. They are checking him for seizures and such. I am a bit nervous about it. I just have to keep trying to think positive. I would appreciate any prayers and good thoughts. That is really the only thing going on here right now.

I hope everyone is well, and I am going to try to check here more regularly now. Take care everyone!!!

Enjoy the last bit of summer!!!

Stephanie, I am definitely thinking positive thoughts for you and your son :) Best of luck with the appt tomorrow and please keep us posted.

Hi Carrie! You look gorgeous in your picture, and your dress is fabulous! Sounds like such a pretty place you got married :)

My face is breaking out, what is that all about?? It hasn't broken out forever. The only thing new I have been doing is:

1) Eliminated my occasional indulgence in dairy products

2) Started using Bare Minerals make-up

3) Started taking cod liver oil

........Anybody know what it could be????

Off to watch the Emmys, anybody else watching??

Julie,

I have no idea....shouldn't be the dairy as you weren't having it much.

Possibly makeup.

What brand of cod liver oil did you get?

Stephanie,

Good luck tomorrow.....please keep us updated.

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

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      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 ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      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!
