Julie- Are you a baseball fan? Are you excited about Colorado? I am NOT a baseball lover- give me my HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I know- that's like treason where I live (in Red Sox Nation).

Not really, I used to be a huge Brave fan. I'm happy for the Rockies though, we have sucked for a lot of years :lol: so it's good to see and the city has gone mad, the whole state has gone mad!

Sorry so many are under the weather. Amanda and Bev, and Sarah, you guys feel better :)

9 days until the wedding?? OMG it is coming up fast. Keeping fingers crossed for great weather, and for you to feel better!

I've seen Carla in other threads, but she's been feeling so good lately she has been out and about and away from the computer :D:D

Patti- I'm glad I am not alone in seeing the humoUr of Dirty Sexy Money :lol::lol: There are quite a few touching moments as well. I love that actor from Six Feet Under too

Nikki- love the meerkat avatar. I have wanted to watch that series called Meerkat manor on the Discovery channel I think it is, they are so cute.

Thanks Julie! I actually am doing a little better today. Less groggy, less pukey.

Amanda, yes, it's absolutely worth taking some time to get better!!!

It's rainy here, too, which is good, we need it so bad. My dog is such a big sissy, she doesn't want to go outside to pee. I asked her, "What's wrong, don't remember what rain is like?"

I talk to my dog all the time. :rolleyes: She's been acting all Cujo-y the past week, and I had a sit-down talk with her last night. I told her, "Ok furface, I'm saving my money up to get you a hysterectomy, and possibly some doggy Prozac. So just try to chill for a while, ok?"

She seemed cool with that.

BEAUTIFUL weather here...sun and 20 degrees C. We're praying to the sun gods for the wedding day, Amanda...and yes, stay home tomorrow. All you'll probably miss is a few flatulous moments from your cubie. :o:lol:

I have volunteered for things already, so I'm not offering to wash RS's leotard. It's all yours, Queen Bev! A much worse job, I feel, would be washing his hair. He's got quite a mop of ridiculousness.

A good one that is circulating electronically:

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get in a little PR.

After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his

hand and George asks him his name.

"
Stanley
," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley ?"

"I have 4 questions:

First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?

Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?

Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"

Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when

I'm a Braves fan, too!!! We lived there for 71/2 years and caught the fever :lol: We used to take the boys to games as well as my parents when they visited. My dad is a big-time Braves fan--and he lives in Syracuse. I have a 1991 Team Ball--signed by the whole team--it was a Christmas gift from Mark. All the greats--Nixon, Pendelton, Gant, Lemke,--the great pitchers......do you remember the "slide" (Sid Bream--one of the greatest moments in baseball history)?

Lots of tongue in cheek humor on Dirty Sexy Money--and I love Peter Krause, too. He was really good on SFU, but he's so cute on this show--it's not so dark.

Ok, VERY crappy day yesterday. Went home all depressed needing to indulge in some inappropriate behavior to make myself feel so bad physically that I could ignore the emotional bad.

Hmm, overeat? Nope. all the good stuff is breaded and deep fried. Celery doesn't cut it.

Get drunk? Nope. Cocktails are too expensive and you just can't develop a good 'depression drunk' on wine.

Controlled substances? Nope. My body doesn't react consistently to any chemicals so that's just way to scary to contemplate.

I finally realized that the most self-destructive behavior I could engage in is not brushing my teeth before going to bed.

Just not the same impact

:huh:

Why are you farting at Nikki's little kitty . . . what did he ever do to you? :lol:

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Back to flatus are we??

:lol: Have we ever LEFT it?

I shot the worst round of golf in my life today, but at least I got laid

:lol:

Nine more days! Yay! Yes, a day of rest sounds good.

I talk to my dog all the time. :rolleyes: She's been acting all Cujo-y the past week, and I had a sit-down talk with her last night. I told her, "Ok furface, I'm saving my money up to get you a hysterectomy, and possibly some doggy Prozac. So just try to chill for a while, ok?"

:lol: Excellent....definitely try the Prozac - I have heard it can work well for some psycho dogs. Considering something for my stinker - who has permanently taken to her bed in teh back bedroom. :huh: Scared of everything lately - bizarre.

And Sixth, what the f**k happened to Stanley ?"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: Way to live on the edge, Jess! Next time, try the wine and then - maybe smoke a whole pack of cigarettes? that should do it... :huh:

Here's hoping today is better.

Well, could be a slow day here, seems we've got a few members MIA, Bob Goulet is in the hospital, Bev has a nasty cold, Richard's painting houses....

I feel so lonely here today.

Well, since you've got a head cold, it might not be so bad . . . other than the sheer labor involved! Of course, he doen't really wear much, does he? Skimpy shorts and a tank top. :o Perhaps a towel to dab at his damp brow. Might get away with just one load . . . unless he brought his dirty laundry with him to Richard's house. <_<

That's true- jst don't make me wash his hair-EWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Amanda- Stay home and get some rest- wow-9 days!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

The commercials for Meerkat manor ALWAYS cracked me with the( watch these- they will make you giggle!): Open Original Shared Link song and

ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME

WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE:

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:

Marrying you has screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.

That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;

This describes everything you're not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss, But I only slept with you

'cause I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other -- That is, until I met your

brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. But

the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty And

so is your h ead.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;

But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes ......

Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.

What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,

Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

What inspired this amorous rhyme?

Two parts vodka, one part lime.

      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 +

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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
