Hehe you Pooh-bahtically Grand grammarians just don't like to embrace the scientific or mathematical concept of the unknown variable, do you? ;)

Darn right we don't! NO embracing of unknowns here....smacks of syllogisms and algebriac formulas and all of that HEINOUS mind-aching, aggravating stuff! Give me my misplaced modifiers! My parallel structures! Take me away from all of this!... :lol:

We don't need to know what substance P is to run a successful experiment. :P

Well....I think that substance P is a Past Participle. :P

I think I may have to barf now (am somewhat of a bulimic drinker) :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

but........I'm not as sad as I was earlier today.

This, for some reason, aroused a huge guffaw in me, Susie. May have to barf, now, like I may have to let the dog out, or bring the plants in for the night. :lol::lol:

Sounds like your mojo is peeking around the corner, edging its way back...YAY!

I made mention of it not being 2buck Chuck anymore & they looked at me like I was nuts and making sh.... stuff up!

They said Twobuck Chuck... :lol::lol:

Here it's just referred to as Plonk.

Mornin', Sillies! More snow a'comin....another 5 inches (and the precipitation moderators are women...) ;)

Is the Yeti home sick yet? He seemed to like my house. He loved my huge cat! Lucky warmed up to him too..Lucky was a bit scared of his size, but would curl up next to him when he was sleeping. I think the fur was like a blanket to him.

But he walked around calling out my name, "Sarah, your Daddy called me!"

Made all those other poor blokes wish they had a Daddy like Sarah's . . . :D

the HELL you say! We do TOO need to know what substance P is!!!!!!!!!!! how can we ameliorate the situation if we don't know what substance PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is????????????????????

So I was thinking to my self . . . Self, here they go again with the made up words!! Now what witty, smart-assed reply are we going to make? And OMG it's a real word. Susie, do you have one of those new-word-a-day calandars? Do a lot of cross-word puzzles? California State Scrabble Champ? I can honestly say I've NEVER come across that word before. In my younger days, we would have made you drink for using a word like that . . .

OMG - I have just had THREE glasses of $2 chardonnay.

Oh . . . apparently, that still holds true. :P

Only when he was home sick and got a tad upset

:huh: <confused>

He was @home & sick? Or was there an inadvertant decompounding of homesick?

:huh:

Absolutely no coyotes wandering around London - but we do have loads of red foxes who would eat up kitty Will without a second thought <_<

Ah but you've got another dangerous indigenous beast of your own.

"He's the hairy-handed gent, who ran amok in Kent. Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair."

Is Nikki anywhere near Kent or Mayfair?

"I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's . .. .. his hair was perfect."

Not sure if this narrows down his location any - is there only one Trader Vic's?

Or maybe only one also has a hair salon or very good barber on the same block?

(I've always loved the "his hair was perrrrfect" line :D )

P.S. "ahhhhhh-oooooOOOOOOO!!!"

Mygawd......

"The Open Original Shared Link center in the Open Original Shared Link contains high concentrations of substance P and its receptor, in addition to other neurotransmitters such as Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Link. Their activation stimulates the vomiting reflex."

SUSIE! You said last night that you had to barf.....YOU are FULL of substance P! It isn't a foreign thing at all...It's our Susie!

(There's a vomiting centre in our brain....gad....how BIG is it?) Sounds like a big store. "Gotta get me to the Vomiting Centre this aft. Could be some specials on leftover produce"... :lol:

So glad to give you a good guffaw. :) I was not able to successfully barf up the white, seems the red is the one that erupts more easily - or spontaneously, as it were. :blink: So, a little blurry and tired today.

:huh:

They said Twobuck Chuck...

Here it's just referred to as Plonk.

Silly! You probably don't know about Charles Shaw. He is actually a Franzia, HUGE winemaking empire in California (famous for scary boxed wines in the past). So......Franzia took his leftover wine juice and did the most brilliant thing........he made about four varietals under the Charles Shaw name, and sells them for TWO DOLLARS a bottle, only at Trader Joe's. It's mega genius. He is a bajillionaire now........ So the wine really is nicknamed Two-buck Chuck.

further information: In a blind tasting of around 300 chardonnays last year in California, CHARLES SHAW chard came in FIRST. :o A complete riot and SHOCKER in the wine community. So, I broke down and bought some........I have to say, it is quite a decent chardonnay - better than many, many chards three and four times as much.

Okay and here's a little bit more!!!!!!!!!! I used to work at the only climbing store (now defunct) in this city, with a sassy and beautiful free spirit named Jen. She drove a 20-year-old VW bug......was a starving college student who had backpacked all over the world......no makeup......feisty, down-to-earth, darling girl. Years later, she MARRIED Brian Franzia, scion of the extraordinarily wealthy Franzia family..........

good gawd. We were all pretty astonished!!!!! And we would say - just think of the climbing rack she can buy now.............

:lol:

(freerice.com, thank you Jess) And yes, for years I did the crossword puzzle EVERY single day - sometimes couldn't sleep until it was finished - bit of an OCD thing so gave it up..........

wait.........what? :huh: Do you mean......*I* am substance P?

I should go edit Wikipedia. The TRUTH is that substance P was one of a GROUP of neuropeptides originally thought to be ONE and named substance Z. Further research determined substance Z was a plethora of distinct polypeptides and the most common, abundant one kept the name substance Z.

HowEVah! One pesky polypeptide, particulary difficult to differentiate from substance Z, was so strikingly similar, it became known as Pseudo-Z, ( :o:lol: ! ) aka substance P, tho pseudo-Z was preferred back in the lab. Of course, over time, the squints in their lab coats just shortened verbal references to "pseu-zee".

(There are some who will claim that there was a spiteful aspect to this pronounciation w/ regard to the repeated romantic rebuffs of the cute receptionist Suzannah, whose mantra was said to be "I'd rather puke than date a scientist".)

P.S. I just HAD to get that out while it was still in my head! Now to go back & catch up. (and .. .. .uh-oh .. ...am I cracking mySELF up too much?)

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
