Yes, but it's only SIX DAYS AWAY, Amanda! How can you concentrate at work? You'll just have to keep coming on here...I find nothing else that makes the time whip by like sitting here, fraternizing with the cohorts who really matter!

:lol:

And - - the bigger the deadline, the more HEINOUS the task, the more I find myslef here..... :ph34r::lol:

Yes, quiet, quiet day!! Have we ALL lost our collective mojos? :huh:

I am just not feeling so funny today. Feeling quite blah, actually. And sitting here filling out paperwork for my first physical therapy appointment today (geez, back xrays and MRI were back in JUNE for pete's sake - it's about time!)......back is a TOTAL mess from vigorous carpet shampooing over the weekend (despite Clive Owens' massages ;)). So - - trying to describe on paperwork what back pain feels like. Pins and needles? no..... Numbness? no.... Burning? no... Stabbing? well, a little.....they haven't given the option of what it REALLY feels like - - as if someone has taken a gigantic metal vice and clamped the entire mid- and lower section of my back, making movement nearly impossible. :huh:

AMANDA - six days!!! :rolleyes: Everything will fall into place, it always does. And if it doesn't, you can put it on America's funniest Home Videos. :lol::ph34r:

Okay, that's better! Good Afternoon, Othersillies... I suppose you're wondering why I've called you all here... :lol:

Well, I am somewhat relieved and chuckling. Spoke to DS this morning about his school project involving bulging zycomatics and maxillary notches. It is for a poster he has to make about the austalopicethis, an ancient homonid (250+ yrs. ago). He looked carefully at me and said, "bulging zycomatics refer to their cranial structure, and maxillary notches are in their jaw area. What were you thinking about?" Ha! Who, me? :rolleyes::ph34r:

A silly from my daughter . . . the kids went to a haunted house at the Children's Museum over the weekend. There were goody bags after they had made it all the way through. My daughter remarked that they were Halloween goody bags because they said Aaaaaaa on the side like someone was scared. I looked at the bag and it said AAA (they were a sponser). :lol:

Uhhhhhhh.....Amanda....Hate to tell you this, but you may have to be re-ordering post haste. We'll be needing considerably more seating than for fourteen. There's your wedding party, then all of us...and you must know that the yeti will likely take up three seats alone. Will there be a sunroof that he can stick his upper body out of?

And when Emily says all of us, don't forget she also means the Dalai Lama, Chuck Norris, Robert Goulet (he may need his own ambulance), Michael Jackson, David Hasselhoff (will definitely need his own vehicle - preferably something that can be hosed out) and let's see . . . who have I left out? Bev? Have I left anybody out? I would HATE to leave anybody out. (The nose rubbing continues - heehee).

Is the yeti allowed to bring a guest? a cute female yeti? because that would REALLY take up a lot of room.....

Well, I don't know about all y'all, but *I'm* riding in the limo with all the cute guys. Clive Owens, Benicio, Colin Firth, Rafe Fiennes, that guy from Mad Men (something Hamm), Robert Duvall, Sir Sean Connery.....it's a long list so we've reserved a 25-seat Care Bear float.

That avatar is actually an illustration for a different topic that I started. Yes, surprising isn't it. I do sometimes post in other threads. I'm about ready to change it as the thread has slid to the second page and not likely to get any more responses.

In my pregluten-free past life, I used to decorate cookies. I actually looked into starting a business out of my home. Did a few jobs for friends. Word started getting out about the time my daughter got her diagnosis. I've turned down a few jobs because I won't have anything in the house that she would want and I would have to tell her she can't have it. So I was looking for a new gluten-free rolled sugar cookie recipe. I always like to do two related designs - thus flowers and bees. I did some turkeys and pumpkins last thanksgiving. If I find that photo, I'll post if for a few hours.

Well, I will get us the stretch hummer than, and it comes with a hottub on the roof. Yeti can bring a date, anyone got any suggestions as of who we can fix him up with?

Don't worry Carla, there is a Marriott right next to our reception hall. We are also having gluten free plates too.

We'd better make sure Ms. Spears is NOWHERE NEAR our procession...and everyone, as a precaution, watch your feet.

Susie!! Robert Duvall? Ewwwwwwwwww! Anybody else react to him that way, or am I alone in my he's-a-great-actor-but-NO-panting-going-on reaction? Tell you what, you can sit beside Mr. Duvall. I think I'd even rather sit beside the Dalai, m'self... :lol:

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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...

Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
