Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Feel better, Amanda :)

Best I don't ever taste the North American PB (I'm sure it would be like Angels copulating on the tongue) unless I get a tapeworm :lol:

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*nervous laugh* ...ahem........

*sigh* BEV -----I 've told you before I'm not prepared to put up with your flatulance (GAD!! That room would be one BIG Dutch Oven :rolleyes: )

...Short word on PB.... :blink: ...tis ok on toast..but can't go mad about it....maybe yours is different to mine

:lol: dutch oven

Yes on Cava and peanut butter.....no on marmite...... :P

Oh Nicola - no good pb? so.....I'll send wer-ste-shire to Emily and peanut butter to Nik -

Susie, this is one horror movie-type setting. I could just hear the swelling music as you set foot outside, into this thick silence. You are so un-stepfordish...how on earth do you manage there?!

Indeed, how DO I manage........*sigh* Well, I think I manage because it's just about the cutest and coziest NEW house (I prefer old) imaginable. So...I just lay low here, pray that there are no pop-ins, and keep my pot and pan banging restricted to the midnight hour :P

Do you think these people are really serious!? I felt so much better when I got rid of mine ... the color came back in my face even .... I don't look so gaunt ... I think two of the pounds were in my cheeks, the other three are in my other cheeks. :P

:o:o

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Yes - I, too, want one - just don't want to know about it, think about it, or see it.....

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Amanda! Go snuggle in bed wtih Lucky, and feel better soon!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*snort*

I know - we are mad!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

:huh:

It was foggy - and the fog throws a thick, viscous blanket of muffled stillness over everything it touches, so I was practically SMACKED with the drear quiet when I walked out front.

I waited......waited........nothing. :huh:

Pure silence.

Lights out, everywhere.

So finally........maybe at about 12:01, a full 60 seconds into the New Year, I just started banging things into the black, shrouded stillness of the Stepford night, a screeching, jarring cacophony into the sterile and controlled environs of this Ridiculous White Enclave.............

Susie, I would love to read those reports that you type for the prisoners . . . you are allowed a bit of poetic license, aren't you?

Check out www.tapewormdiet.net.

All of you wishing for a tapeworm . . . you did check out Carla's website, right? You want to make sure you get a safe tapeworm. And did you read the caption on one of the photos . . . that particular slaughterhouse was too clean . . . only a 1% infection rate. You'll need to find a nasty slaughterhouse.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Amanda, hope you feel well, soon!

Actually, I am certain that tapeworms are NOT a funny thing to have, and I did hesitate to make a joke of them...(but then went ahead... :rolleyes:<_< ). I cannot imagine a large worm residing in my body, and knowing that it's there, and waiting for the treatment to take affect. Gahhh....very un-Silly...!

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Oh, no, I do still think it's funny! And, I didn't know I had it when I started taking the herbs, it was quite the shock when I saw it! Very, very shocking!

In fact, after I got rid of it I said, "Boy, that was stupid, if I knew I had a tapeworm, I most certainly would have waited until after the holidays to get rid of it!" :lol:

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Oh, yes, quite serious .... I guess it explains my inability to gain weight when I have a low thyroid! Just be sure you eat your steaks cooked .... I tended to like mine on the rare side .... bad idea.

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

The man flu cometh, creeping across the Atlantic with stealth and speed....BEWARE!!!!!

My sympathies Amanda :( ....I feel really rough today (terrible cough) and look EVEN worse.

Lucky for me my eldest son works for a pharmaceutical company and gets non prescription drugs dirt cheap....so phoned him with my order of cough syrups, lemsip (cold powders) and paracetomol

Like Milton's revered "Darkness visible"...

You wax poetic, Nikki!! <_<:D

I did :blink: ...... :lol:

So, Nikki, are you a marmite eater? It is available here, but expensive and not very popular. I saw it everywhere over there. Quite salty...seems like spreadable yeast... :huh:

*standing up*....I AM a Marmite eater and PROUD!!!!!!!!!! (Tis gluten-free too)

Dear god, an aquired taste indeed - Love it or Hate it - Mums in the UK were encouraged to wean their babies onto Marmite and toast in the 70's as the marmite has high levels of B vitamins - LOVED it ever since :D

The Aussies have something similar called 'Vegemite'....not quite as potent

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Is that sober reflection Emily??? :P

..but yes, take the extra ten (maybe 15...well :unsure: ...20) we SHALL!!!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

I am SO not the person for this job as unfortunately if I lived with you it would rapidly descend into a somewhat drunken, squalid, obese affair ;)

I have my Carla & Janet av up . . . just to show you I've got one, too. I think Carla's pic is better . . . hmmm, I think her hubby is showing preferential treatment. I'm not going to leave it up too long. People will start asking me about my Lyme disease and tapeworm and instead of telling them I'm not Carla, I'm likely to just make stuff up.

Jestgar Rising Star

As a random bit of info, there are groups investigating whether infecting someone that has IBS/IBD/Crohn's with intestinal parasites could convince the gut to convert from the autoimmune response (that's causing symptoms) to a parasitic response.

Wonder how many 'normal' volunteers they get for those studies... <insert green guy emoticon>

~alex~ Explorer

Ick, tapeworms. I think I would have to be sedated if I knew I had worms in me. Nothing quite gets to me like the thought of parasites. In grade 2 my best friend had lice and I made my parents check my hair like every hour and washed my hair with Nix even though I had been assured that I didn't have lice. Creatures living on and or in a human just makes my skin crawl.

I could use some creative input if anyone is so inclined. This morning I was putting away the couple of ceramic Christmas houses that I have and horror of horrors I tripped and dropped the house that my mom had made about 20 years ago. After many tears and cheering up from my fiance, I am determined to make something special with the pieces of ceramic. Any ideas?

Maybe they pay big?

CarlaB Enthusiast

Alex, sorry about the house .... sorry, no ideas. Are they flat pieces? What about a mosaic?

Every time I saw a piece of the tapeworm I felt nauseous for a couple hours. It was gross. I actually think I need to do another treatment, but the product I use wants you to take a 90 day break between 30 day treatments so you don't build resistance.

Sorry that happened :(

I do have an idea--make a picture frame ("tile" an inexpensive, wide frame randomly with the broken pieces) and put a nice picture of your mom in it :)

ALEX!!!!!!! :( I am so sorry about yoru broken ceramics. What a heartbreak.

Just google McKenzie Childs (Nik will know!) and look at what they do with their broken pottery. Seems to me the large picture frames were nice......good gawd, there's SO much you can do.......I've got tons of ideas and have done TONS of things........

Mosaic picture frame . . . lots of plane wood frames at places like JoAnn's or Michael's . . . then put a picture of you and your mom in it. OK, that's kind of sentimental . . . you're not starting to cry, are you? <heehee, post New Year's Eve button pushing . . .>

      @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?

      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.
