I personally am a peanut.

Just don't be a chickpea. I hate those things.

I don't think chickpeas are nuts ... for that matter, neither are peanuts! :lol:

Yeah, it will be scary!

My brain has not returned .... parts of it have, but the rest is still gone. But I've been on Mino for a couple weeks now, so maybe soon. :)

Janet, WHAT in the world is your daughter doing in your avatar? It looks very industrious! She looks sooo much like you.

Why, she's measuring (fake) dinosaur bones, of course. If you could see the picture full size, you might be able to read the sign that says "dinosaur research". The paleontologist caption was suppose to be a hint. Not too much longer and you'll be in the 501 club. Here's a suggestion to boost your numbers, you wait for Tom to post (preferably on the OMG thread) and then you reply with a "hmmm, that's interesting".

You know, I did see the caption, and thought, Cool. Then I looked at the picture, and it looks like she's woodworking with a lathe or something. Me, peering at computer screen----> :blink:

I think I am here to stay. God help us all (especially me :o ).

Ahhh, Peter!! I hope you can handle it! We females on this thread are a fearsome lot. The guys seem to be able to handle it for only short periods of time. Then they must retreat to catch their breath and gather their wits! Richard has been missing in action for several days now. Tom's been working on gathering his wits but apparently, he has packed them in several different boxes for his move and failed to label them appropriately!

Oh . . . by the way . . . no need to tell Scott anything. We're trying to keep a low profile here. On the other hand, if you do talk to Scott, ask him how come he hasn't answered my Green Guy emoticon thread.

I guess Scott thinks there are enough moderators participating in this thread that he doesn't have to check up on us!

Do you think he reads it anonymously?

Yeah, I still want that green guy. We totally NEED that emoticon. It's necessary for our expressive therapy.

Maybe he is actually participating!! Maybe he has a fake/second member ID so that he can participate in some of the threads!! Maybe Sarah isn't really Sarah . . . hmmm? :o Maybe Emily is Scott - she would have gotten some advice from her dad on how to play a different character - no wait, that's not right. If Emily is Scott, then Emily's dad wouldn't be giving Scott advice!! I'VE GOT IT! Emily isn't Scott! Scott is Emily! Emily is the board administrator! Emily, why won't you give us a green guy emoticon?!!

So many quotations have stayed with me over the years, and it's impossible to pick a favorite. The wittiest, I think, was by (who else?) my hero, Winston Churchill:

Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

:

I love Churchill so much..........have pages of his quotes.......and the most charming books of his paintings......and several biographies. Wonder if I"ll finish one of them, ever?

You are all absolutely nuts. I guess that is why I fit in here. LOL. My dry sense of humoUr often gets lost in the written word, so to avoid p*ssing people off I am careful about what I write online.

Who is looking after the Yeti? I found something in my yard today. DNA testing is beyond my means, but I wonder? Should I treat is as something sacred, or just compost it?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!!!!!!!!!! We've got Peter!!!!!!!! he's one of us, why look, he's even using the superfluous "U" properly!!!!!!!!!! and speaking of practicalities, like DNA testing of possible magical scat in his back yard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol:

oh this pleases me to no end.....................

Peter, I think you are the only one who has read every word since pg 202! :lol:

:o the HELL you say!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I actually DO read all the words. remember, I have no life.

:lol: Well, ok- if you want to be all accurate and stuff. :P

:lol:

TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we need a red-faced devil emoticon.......and - - there was another one we needed - - can't remember........

Likewise . . . I too have read every word and I too have no life . . . here I sit on a Tuesday night, should have gone to bed an hour ago, but I see Susie and Sarah online so I wait to see if they are going to post! :lol: (My stalker instincts have kicked in :ph34r: )

:o OMG - what should we do? Quick - act natural - act like you don't know for God's sake!!!!!!! Drink your absinthe and be quiet..........

I like Ewan but I LOVE Colin (firth).

Naturally - have to

Nicola- You must confirm- is Hugh straight? WHY is he NOT married?

OMGawd Beverly - he's a straight as they come!!!! (Ooops)

He's just a comittment phobe

I think he's not married because he's a horn dog. That's a southeastern term. :ph34r: Is it allowed to say horn dog?

Yes - horn dog - THAT'S what I meant :lol:

Who is looking after the Yeti? I found something in my yard today. DNA testing is beyond my means, but I wonder? Should I treat is as something sacred, or just compost it?

My goodness, I missed alot from the time I abandonded the internet to watch a movie at 10 last night....

elye Community Regular

Mornin' all....Reporting for duty!

I've been pacing around, unable to get my breakfast down....the true identity of Scott...Hmmm. This is troublesome, as I think of the past weeks and how my dad has seemed...well, different. Trying to...moderate...edit...control things. Correcting me on a medical point, criticising when I emoticize too much...And what's with his sudden need for me to log in with a password before I go into their apartment?! Could it be....

He's done it yet again??

I have no life either .... it's the lack of brain, however, that doesn't allow me to read it all! :D I know, I know, it's not supposed to make sense .... but it gets really confusing sometimes! :blink:

What?!? Act natural?!? Do any of us know how to do that?:huh::lol:

Uh, I think everyone is acting natural .... I think normal would be what we don't know how to do! ;)

I have to agree with Carla, normal is not something I think I can manage :)

Joggers/walkers in big cities carry pepper spray to fend off muggers.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
