I just have migraines every so often SINCE I got preggers with LUCAS years ago...

Ok, first, I just sold all my baby stuff, like the double stroller, and now a bunch of friends mistakenly think I'm pregnant.... This is shaping up to be scary. :ph34r:

Susie is pretty sure she is NEVER having a date again. BAH!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: (way too picky in my old age + paucity of men = Susie Dying Alone)

Susie, seeing how women, in general, outlive their husbands, we're all pretty much dying alone . . . that's why I have made arrangements to be committed to live in the same mental old age facility as my best friend. That way we can keep each other company and complain to each other about how our children never call and that the food taste like crap.

Heinous slobishness! :angry:

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

For me, hillbilly heroin would be biscuits and gravy-- otherwise known in my house as "Heart Attack on a Plate." Sooooo good, and utterly verboten these days!

Biscuits??? :huh: (which are sweet here) with gravy...........EWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

That's just WRONG!!!!!!!

Cardiac country around here is brought on by the famous Quebeqois Poutine. French fries with thick gravy, then mounds of melted mozzerella topping it off. Ate many a plateful while pregnant, then felt just sick....

Again, WRONG!!!! ....chips with gravy??????.....no No NO!!!...they will go soggy :angry:

Around here you can get a salad with french fries and gravy on top.....talk about fattening!

...limp soggy lettuce with gravy :huh:

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

OMIGOD Sarah's PREGGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats darlin'!!!! :D:lol:

Had me going there for a tic Ptaum,..........bloody hell!!..had Sarah in a COLD SWEAT!!!!!!! :lol::lol:

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs.

No Gluten? or No Reaction? . . . There's a difference, you know.

:o

oh dear gawd.......but........if it's a SMALL amount of gluten - I would have a reaction.....(unlike the time I ate half a pizza :ph34r: - just got depressed for two weeks)

Oh . . . I think those are elephant ears, here. . . . does it start out deep fried?

:lol: probably not.....a distinctly southern US tradition

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Lemme know where it is - I'll join you and get my other old lady friends

So I just had to run down to the hospital pharmacy to exchange drugs. So I am walking by the parking office and a woman whom I am friendly but do not see on a daily basis yells out to me, come back here. So I walk back. She says to me, wow, are you

:lol: :lol: :lol: absolutely brilliant idea.........let's round up all of our unwanted drugs, Jess can go as emissary and fill our requests.....

Nicola - - biscuits here are the most YUMMY YUMMY EVIL flaky baked flour-y....rolls? how do we explain a biscuit? 'tis a sticky, yeasty dough rolled out flat, cut into circle shapes and then baked - hence puffing up to many times their volume........absolutely DIVINE w/ butter and jam, butter and honey..........mygawd.........I actually think that is what I miss MOST OF ALL.......... :( People slather gravy on them - very southern - that is slightly vomitous to me but certainly would eat it, without complaining.........

I think biscuits in England are what we call cookies?

:o BEV! Well I don't know about YOU, but *I* am NOT obsessed w/ dog nuts.....I mean, Annie doesn't even have any for Peter's sake.........

:lol: that's how I read it too . .. ..even took a moment to scan memory for "pets+testicle" and only came up w/ Nikki's cat (is that right?) THEN came the synonymical connection to aficionado :lol:

- - and I must say, I was partaking in a GIANT basket of fries from DEDICATED fryer at Nepenthe last Sunday :):rolleyes:

Ahhhhhhh Nepenthe <contented sigh> :)

I must head south soon .. . . .. .

TOM - - NO GLUTEN in the rice bowls at El Pollo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

1) Phew!!!!!! :face-of-relief-guy:

2) Why didn't I KNOW this?

3) I can have something new!!!?? :unsure:

4) Ahhh dang, I'm sure it has ingred I won't eat (yet) :(

I had El Pollo Loco monday. Yum! :rolleyes:

But only because I'd forgotten to defrost anything. It's still a thrill every time I get to eat w/out doing the cooking. Which reminds me :D , dinner at Shelly's tonight. Her 8y.o. got an elec guit from santa so we're gonna jam!!!!

And speaking of music, today feels a LOT like a sax day!!!!! (Boehv?? That's an A, not an E! :lol: )

Here's a bit of silly - ran into an old notebook where I'd made a note of something a friend's 4 or 5 y.o. (at the time) said years ago.

For whatever reason, I'd said something in Pig Latin and she said "huh?". So I told her it was Pig Latin.

She says "I don't care how they talk in Pigland" :lol: I was rofl!!

Last year I walked into the womans bathroom at work and someone left a log on the floor next to the toliet.

:lol: ..this makes me chuckle from Patti..........but who the heck poo's next to the toilet bowl???????? :blink::unsure:

Obviously a hoverer with poor aim . . . or perhaps in mid-hover, the purse she was balancing on her head started to slide. In an effort to keep her purse from hitting the floor, she lost sight of her target . . . so to speak.

If I must clog my arteries it MUST be with double CREAM in some sort of cake!!!!!!!! :P

I'm totally with Nikki on this one.

Hey Colleen!!! Way to stick it to the man! :lol:

Now, I bought one in the summer - took one look at myself in the mirror and thought NO WAY!!!!!!! - off it came - it didn't look like THAT on the model :angry: ........but I am annoyed that all these smocky tops weren't in vogue when I was [i/] pregnant :lol:

Gawd--so true.....when I was pregnant (back in the dark ages) there were no cute maternity clothes. All frightful billow-y blouses with puffy sleeves and bows at the neck <_< I did a lot of maternity jeans and Mark's shirts :lol:

I also bought one of those tops last summer--I think it's because I'm kinda short, but it did resemble a maternity top...of course at my age I'm sure no one was fooled :lol:

During my first pregnancy, I wore several men's shirts instead of maternity shirts. One of the guys I worked with complimented me on one in particular. I told him it was a men's shirt to which he stood up and proclaimed "I call dibs on Janet's shirt when she's done being pregnant!"

ROFL I was just makin' s*** up to tease her a tic (Nikki? This means a bit?? :unsure: ) but now can't lose this sh**-eating grin (what a horrible term!! Especially considering Bev's hinted-at grossout a few pages back) from seeing all the posts it prompted!!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      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

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      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 coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

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

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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!

      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?
