How are you today?

A little better today. Hubby got home early, and I slept from like 4:30 till midnight. Then got up with Ez, who is throwing up mucous again. :( Gonna take him back to the doc again today. Then I went back to sleep at about 3, and got a couple more hours before having to get Luke ready for school. So all that sleep helped!

Is Scott Irish?

Patti - I agree with the George/Izzy scenario - perhaps the writer's listened to public opinion and decided it was best to keep them as friends!

I actually think the Celiac-green is kind of spiffy, but I am also having trouble with the change. Things aren't where I expect them to be, and it makes my eyes cross!

Speaking of Celiac-green, we reeeeally need to band together and organize something in the way of Celiac awareness. You know, all those basics that all the OTHER diseases have. Little rubber bracelets, car magnets in the shape of a ribbon, bumper stickers, ribbons, t-shirts, all that stuff.

In fact, we should get Scott to make a new forum for Activism, too.

Our thread is hopping this morning, I logged in at 8- then I gabbed with my coworkers since we all get in at 8, we went downstairs for dirnks and water, it is now 8:30 and I missed quite a few posts. Wow!

Patti- how are the closets today?

Yep--sleep sure helps! Glad you got some shut-eye last night :D

Poor Ez :( Good luck at the doc today.

They're coming to install everything on Dec 3rd. I think it's really gonna be nice--nothing fancy--just lots of shelving and hanging ability.

So settling into the new house pretty well? Liking the area, my state?

Julie knew about the greenness because Julie was on last night when the color change took place! And form that point on, things would never be the same.......

Julie does not like change either :(

Patti-

It was so pretty driving to work yesterday. All the leaves were falling and I live in a country-like setting so it was so pretty.

So fellow sillies any good plans this weekend?

Jestgar Rising Star

Good Morning all. The dealie in my avatar is how to do an array (look at all the genes you are using all on one piece of glass). I've been so busy planning and executing a bunch of experiments that it didn't hit me until yesterday that I have to do 700 of those.

700

It's inconceivable at the moment.

My friend went to Kenya to work in an HIV lab. She'll be there for two years at least and if they like it they'll stay longer. What a fabulous experience for the kids. As one of them said "Dad, we ARE the Discovery channel!"

My brain is unbelievably toasted. The lab had a gluten free bday celebration for me yesterday and I ate more dairy and grains and whatever than I have in a very long time. No sleep. Entire body feels swollen. And I have to prepare an intelligent report for someone. Thank heavens there's no math today.

Or quinoa stuffing.

Where is that danged yeti when I need him?

Ah,....he's over at mine....sharing slow cooker tips and recipes (hubby bought one half price - what a coup!)

We (hubby, me, yeti) are just going through the info booklet now.

Good luck with the 700 gene thingy..wotsits :blink:

Bah to the 'new look' forum!!

Av captions don't even come up on the same SCREEN as the av now for me!!

Speaking of Celiac-green, we reeeeally need to band together and organize something in the way of Celiac awareness. You know, all those basics that all the OTHER diseases have. Little rubber bracelets, car magnets in the shape of a ribbon, bumper stickers, ribbons, t-shirts, all that stuff.

Awesome idea!!

But I have too little faith in being able to edumacate the public when MDs are still so clueless.

This one, near honeymoon-land btw, seems to think it's only a "disorder of malabsorption".

<tom's quite sure his problems went a tad beyond that>

"Dad, we ARE the Discovery channel!"

:lol::) Isn't it impossible to picture this and NOT smile and/or chuckle?? :)

P.S.

elye Community Regular

Man, do I hate this new look. Difficult to decipher when one person's post ends and the next guy's begins...our av captions are no longer under the av...

Scott, why did ye do this? He's probably Scottish.....I would prefer the Adams tartan than this! :blink:

I still think it was our constant green subject matter... :lol:

If it has to be green, fine, but WHY IS THE FONT so small

I know--I just love this time of year!

I just came in from lunch and I saw snowflakes.....tiny ones but snowflakes to say the least.

Darn210 Enthusiast

I said I wanted a GREEN EMOTICON GUY . . . not everything green but an emoticon guy!!!

Don't like the layout - captions NEED to be under the av. The print seems to be less black . . . is that a figment of my imagination? Is that just because of all the green background? ('Cause my eyes do look blue-er when I'm wearing blue.)

Not a decent vegetable or fruit in the house - must go do some produce shopping - and it won't be green!!

Ah Janet--be careful what you wish for around here :lol:

This is going to take some time to get used to.....

Wow--it's very windy here, and cold, but no snow yet. The sky is getting dark, though, so maybe....

Bev, I agree! There is no way I can read this without my glasses now!

      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."

      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.
