I unplug my lap top too. Supposedly if the computer is on a surge protector it is ok....but computers are so expensive I don't take the chance. I had one get fried once....not fun!

Yeah, but surge protectors only protect from so many surges ... you wouldn't want yours to be plugged in for that one too many.

PLUS, a direct hit by lightening, and everything plugged in is toast! Our old house got struck a couple months after we moved .... everything had to be replaced ... washer, dryer, electronics, .... everything! A beam in the attic vapoUrized!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Gawd! :lol:

Susie--yes, you must unplug immediately!!!! about 5 years ago, our house got hit with lightening and it blew out our modem. There was smoke in the wall, the fire dept was called, a mess.

Ok everyone....the stupid award for the day goes to.... (drumroll)----me <_<

I've eaten 2 boxes of Lesser Evil Popcorn in the last week :ph34r: Beyond the obvious glutony, I have been feeling sick--digestive distress, middle of the night anxiety, and the tell-tale ache in the back of my head.

I'm thinking it had to be something else--all the holiday treats and all. Today, I'm still sick, so I go through everything-- mentally-- I've eaten or used different in the last week or so. The hair conditioner checked out.....so I go to call the popcorn company and see in small letters under the large allergy warning "made in a facility that runs wheat".

Crap :angry: I missed it completely.

That'll teach me to use my reading glasses when I shop B)

My dear Janet - you are not quite discerning the canine attitudes accurately - - Stinker is partially to completely senile now - - mostly deaf and losing vision - - so SHE, in this photo, doesn't even really know what's going on. :blink:

Annie? Her ears are almost always down in the submission pose for photos......I have to PUSH her off of me and tell her to stay - - she lunges for the humans every time. Annie is all about the LUVVVVVVVVVVV :wub: She really is the most beguiling and cutest dog ever - even Gail said so......that was huge.

Oh, I have to do a credit check on a potential renter and go to Starbucks for a latte and I MISS PAGE 500!!!

Congrats your highness Jess!

The renter was bad .... why do people pay me $20 to pull a credit report and not believe I'll do it???? So, I call her supposed landlord who is not the owner of the house but a representative for the "out of town owner" and she hangs up on me when I ask the owner's NAME! I mean, if you have such a bad landlord reference and are going to have a friend lie for you, at least tell the friend the LANDLORD'S NAME! It is information that can be found on the internet, LOL.

It gets entertaining ..... I guess they don't expect to get caught.

It truly does. If they're going to lie, they really need to be better at it ... I mean, she tells my hubby she needs to be out today because of a divorce, then she tells me she's having trouble collecting child support .. which is it? Is she just moving out, or has she been trying to collect child support for the past year? :huh:

The sad part is, MOST people lie .... so if you're going to own rental properties, be sure you have someone experienced teach you to do a background check! I used to manage a 300 unit complex in Houston ... the turnover was about 30 units per month, so I've had a lot of experience with it!

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something?

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @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...

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      @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/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      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!
