I walk down to the car at lunch with John. I have a bottle of coke. I sit down in the car to open it and it was like New Years Eve when some corks a new bottle of champagne. All the coke was everywhere. All over my khakis all over my pink shirt and all over and down my sleeve of my white lab coat. I used my tide bleach pen as best as I could. I am still dirty though.

:o:lol: Oh good Lord! Glad you're laughing about it.

well where IS Everybody? some are moving......but - - Nikki, Bev??? and where's Julie been? I think we lost Daughter entirely - :huh: Richard - too many paint fumes? (my god, remember when everything had to be painted in oil - - how DID we survive our lead-tainted childhoods :lol: :lol: :lol:)

OMG - is nothing sacred - there is Chris Botti playing Nessun Dorma on his trumpet (?).....that ain't right....what's next.....Kenny G playing Vivaldi's Gloria on his insipid sax??????????????

:lol:

slow day here, folks.......nothing to see......just drive on....................

SILLLLLLLLIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(shaking head)

You need not fret so over the FRIENDS list. It was a feature added - maybe a year ago? None of us is sure why....except that, if someone looks at your page, they can determine if you are poplular or not??????????

Yes, yes . . . the most popular wins!

OK for all of you nonfriendly sort . . . you can enable the ability to block people from adding you to their friends list by changing something in your personal portal info . . . you would have the ability to aprove them first. The default is that anybody can add you if they want to. So if you feel inclined to approve anyone that wants to be your friend then make the change . . . then that's were the friends pending list comes in.

Also, should any of you nonfriendly types want to PM somebody, you can type in their name or find their name in a thread . . . OR if they are in your friends list, you get a little menu that you can select them as your PM recipient.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

Sorry to tell you, if you want your own friends list, you have to build it yourself. Doesn't mean you have too . . . doesn't mean that if we have added you and you don't add us back, we will be offended . . . much. :(:huh::lol::lol:

and THANK GOD this other disquieting feature was aborted: you could actually RANK people! Go on their profiles and rate from 1 to 5 stars. :huh: There was a big brouhaha about taht, and it was abolished........................

OMG...Talk about politically incorrect...Ranking people? I was blissfully unaware of this feature while it was around. I'd be ONE star, across the board--then, like you, Tom, I'd be asking for psychiatrist referrals in the Ottawa area. :lol:

I am so amused by the complexity of it all...Ha! :lol: Friends are friends because of the ease with which the relationship happens...Unless you're on the Celiac.com forum--then you've gotta WORK for them friends! And I must say...do any of us sit at work, or in the car, or stand at the bank, and suddenly think, "Whoa! Forget this--I gotta get to my computer and find out if Emily's been on lately!" An...interesting feature...(!)

Bev, it's funny you mention this. I was just thinking yesterday (y'know, deep birthday thoughts, where's-the-time-going, guilt, regrets, all those horrid yearly pinings as the hourglass slowly runs in the background), that I have been SO lax in my responibilities of helping the newbies who get on here, depressed and frightened. Our Cult of Madness makes it very tough to visit anywhere else, particularly with a straight face. I find myself about to post the funniest responses to very serious questions. "Help! My stomach just stays SO bloated!" or "What can I tell my mother-in-law when she brings over her homemade scones?", or "check these pics of my backside out...is this DH?" These things resonate, now, with an inane hilarity, and before my life in Sillyland I was easily able to empathise and advise. WHAT"S HAPPENING TO US ALL? I just smirk at almost everything now....

...It's fantastic!.... B):lol::lol:

I know...me too. I even find myself driving in my car thinking of funny things to tell you guys. I want to help the newbies too but right now, i'm so tired.....I just need to be free to be bawdily silly!!!!!!!!!! :D:o

Carla- EXCELLENT dope slap on your son! WHAT did he DO to deserve it??????? Teenage boys are always up to something evil (we need GREEN GUY AND DEVIL emoticon). :ph34r: <-------The ph34r guy just doesn't cut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH- a fellow Heroes fan! I LOVE that show but went to bed before it was on last night (we recorded it) so don't tell me what happened. I LOVE Parkman and Hiro. Something about Parkman just says "I am a big 'ol teddy bear". SO mad when his UGLY wife left him. To be in the 501 club just post like 150 times. We don't care if youo jibber at us...maybe it will even make YOU the next queen!

Well, I have a BIG confession to make. I have no idea what making someone your friend on here does,--why we do it, what the perks are...Richard suddenly became my FIRST friend a couple of weeks ago, and then more followed. I tend to be something of a sheep, and follow the great flock, so now I have started "befriending"...Do we go to each other's houses? Can I borrow makeup or books from you guys? Do I now have special access to your hidden journals? "Add as friend"...it's a lovely option, and when I get an email announcing that someone has put me on their Friends list, I'm just all warm inside. But I wanna go to some of my friends' places... :lol:

Yes- Tom can borrow your makeup, Richard has access to your hidden journals and they BOTH know about your lingerie drawer. And there's always spouse/significant other switch night. :o :o :o :o If you have no significant other- not sure who does and doesn't- you have 3 choices:

1. Bon Jovi

2. Reese Witherspoon

3. A male or female yeti (freshly shampooed of course).

The friend's feature is lovely but my favorite is the COMMENTS section where you can say nice things about each other.

Also with your friends list, you can do a quick check to see if they've been on recently . . . unless your Bev because she has that blocked and I haven't looked into how she did that.

You caught me (shhh!!!!!!!) I logged on as invisible cause as a moderator theres a few threads I's keeping me eyes on. SHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it by logging out, then log back in and checking log me in invisible. Then you can be but a mere ghost that no one can see, and SWOOP down at any moment, add a reply, then disappear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

With the star thing (when we had it) I thought it was evil so I just went in and gave everyone 5 stars.

Okay...I hate having no friends! I'm finding you all and you're ALL going to be informed that I've put you on my friends list. ..Wait, now...is this like facebook? Can you refuse to be my friend? I don't know how I would manage that. Any psychiatrist recommendations yet, Tom?

Yes, and my offer is still there re. my blow-up lawn Santa, but Tom hasn't responded to it. Perhaps he thinks it wouldn't fit in his pod. TOM! Silliiiieeee!! It DEFLATES! Takes up no room whatsoever!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

Half-nekkid man alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm minding my own business, taking out the trash cans. Down the street, at the very end, is a distinctly slow-ambling male, clad only in thin pajama bottoms. No shirt. Or, I think to myself - - is it a flesh-coloUred shirt? I stare and stare. He's less than 1/4 mile away.

Well, I simply can't take it - I've discerned he's got no shirt on (not normal folks, even when it's 110 in summer). I jump in the car, and take a spin around the block.

Yup, he's got no shirt on, a shaved head, a ghostly palloUr, and is clutching his abdomen. His eyes meet mine, they are steely gray, adn DON"T WORRY EVERYBODY, I can do a police sketch if necessary. ;)

So.....I see that there is nothign further I can do....and go back home.

Soon, he is walkign AGAIN around the block.....shufflign very slowly - and is in front of my house. I whip out my camera, but alas, to take his photo, would have had to move the blinds and he would have heard me as window is open.

But - I was able to discern that he has a large bandage on his abdomen, indicating recent surgery - OR A STAB WOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o or maybe a GUNSHOT!!!!!!!!! (alas, no bandage or scar in rear, indicating bullet egress - - but then again, perhpas it is lodged in his SPLEEN or something, and hence the ashy paloUr) :huh:

but tell me this - what man in his fifties walks around, half-clad in cooler weather, who's just had surgery, in THIS gated, stepford, Aryan community? Has he LOST his MIND???

stay tuned.

I am out of my MIND for things like this. :lol:

Sarah,

What a story! I'm so happy to hear that gluten may be the problem. It's funny, isn't it...sometimes in the frustration of living with this food restriction, we wish the cause of our symptoms could be ANYTHING else! Hearing a story like this allows me to give my head a good shake--my illness can be controlled with a diet change. It ain't cancer!

BTW, I LOVE the name Ezra! It was the second choice on our list of boy names, and Jack won out... :)

      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?
