Only in my dreams. Nothing but grade A coffee in my travel mug. EVER. A crash is imminent, however Robert Goulet is in the hospital awaiting a lung transplant :o (I kid you not), so my afternoon slumber will be undisturbed. actually it is a co-workers birthday, and it was is my turn to supply the cake - a NAMASTE chocolate cake with sinful dark chocolate frosting....refueling to begin in 1 hour.

I did see that Bob is in the hospital! :huh: So yes, your afternoons seem quite safe for a while....but now we must appoint another LIMPSY ambassador.....how about Bridget Bardot?

Is the cake quite good? Haven't had one yet.....have not had cake in nearly two years. :angry:

(only in my dreams in Patti's snack kitchen :lol:)

No time to be cheerful. I was just checking in on the puppy. Glad Annie's OK.

If I had time I would do a huge rant on stupid bosses. If everyone would just roll your eyes at my boss for me I'm sure he'll feel it.

:wacko: We could use this eye roll - different directions at the same time.

<_< But this one is probably most appropriate for the situation.

After we get the green guy emoticon worked out, we'll shoot for the eye roll emoticon :whatever!:

Richard, so sorry to hear about RG. I noticed that it said he was coming back from NY . . . was that a personal visit to your house then?

:blink:

...and now we get to the REAL reason your mojo has left town!

NO CAKE IN TWO YEARS????! :blink::o It's no wonder your subconscious is forced to raid Patti's Uber-pantry. Forget LIMPSY - SOMEBODY GET SUSIE A CAKE! STAT!!

This cake is soooo rich (with the homemade frosting = a tub of cool whip melted with 6 squares of semi-sweet chocolate, cool slightly and drizzle over cake) I always bring a carton of milk. It's guaranteed to make your teeth hurt! :)

Never saw him. The only thing I can think is that he ran into the 'Hoff. Perhaps the smell of wee was so strong that the ammonia caused chemical burns to his lungs? :o

it's a darned shame. :angry:

It didn't work out for George Costanza...but then again nothing ever did. Maybe you could try the bottle/can deposit redemption scam :huh:

Don't you need a mail truck for that? Now where is Susie going to come up with a mail truck? Susie, is your mailman (or mailwomen) open to advances? Would said mailman/woman be wooable with your womanly charms? (Reading back that last sentence makes me think of Barbara Walters!) :lol::lol:

I was out doing errands, and the big sad news about Bob came over the radio. Now, only this crazy thread could make me actually be amused at news as bad as this. I said, aloud, alone in my car, "Bob Goulet! Lungs...why is this amusing me?!"

Sheesh...poor man...with an unbelieveable voice like his, he couldn't have been a smoker. Hmmmm..ammonia burns, possible. Severe, asthma-type reaction to yeti fur, a possibility.

All right, guys. You know he was here a few afternoons ago. I'm feeling a sickening responsibility, here. After all, it's too big a coincidence! Did I somehow cause this?! Ohhhhhh......he walked by my husband's hockey bag.... :o:o

:o ahem, excuse me, Cool Whip is rather evil, isn't it? is that really considered homemade frosting? all right, I confess, it DOES sound teeth-hurtingly good. :(

I have lost FOUR POUNDS on my strict calorie intake diet. :) So, NO CAKE FOR ME. :angry:

Now here's something. curiously, there is no consistency in the mail trucks or drivers here. Sometimes the mail is delivered in an orange jeep :huh: (only one I've ever seen on mail routes in my entire lifetime in California), sometimes a standard mail truck, sometimes another jeep, and SOMETIMES, not kidding, it's like a gold Toyota Celica or something, but with driver's side on right side. :huh: That one REALLY throws me.

Different drivers all the time. I will see if I can hijack any of them for my madness. mwoo-hoo-hooooo--HAAA-HAAAA-HAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:diabolical emoticon:)

I don't *think* Barbara Walters has ever delivered the mail, but who can really be sure? :lol:

While I was gone in search of candy I was gone about 10 minutes.

The girl next to me says...Amanda I have a confession.

While you were gone I was kneeling on my desk and I farted loudly.....

So she was hiding and peeking around the corner making sure no one heard.

I adore my cubiemate, we are a perfect match. The reason we are so relaxed around each other. About a year ago, we were walking down the hall and a fart escaped on her, she was going to die. She said my facial expression is unforgettable.

We can be ourselves around each other. So when she says want to hear a funny story, I know it has something to do with farts or people exploding in the bathroom or something along those lines.

We do have fun here.

Anyone want to come to the Clinical Trials office and work? We always have food here!

Suffering from chemically burned lungs myself <_< Just got my hair cut. The odoUriferousness of my hair is starting to iritate my throat. Time for a mid-day shower so that I won't have to join RG in the ICU :huh: I'd hate to think of the mass riots that would ensue against me if I beat him out for the next set of lungs.

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

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. 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
