Yes, I will admit that I did once train a minnow . . . :lol:

GAHHH!!!! What does it mean when you are doing something totally unrelated to this board and it pops into your head how you should have worded a post!!??!!

This is what I meant to say:

I admit that I did once school a minnow!!!

Here's another serious question . . . are your symptoms for consuming dairy the same as gluten? how 'bout trace amounts?

Morning Sillies!

I am so tired today and yes another dreary days ahead, one of those I can sleep forever days. Hubby is home sick. He went home early from work yesterday and now he didn't come in at all today. Says his stomach is bothering him.

Morning, all!

Lotsa rain today.....what a winter!

I have read quite a bit about lactose intolerance (not casein), and what I have learned is that yes, the symptoms are similar: gas, bloating, pain.....

You know what I think winter is never going to come this year....

:o what? who? where? What distillery? OMG, this is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will this so-called absinthe have phaeries? Or allow us to SEE the phaeries? :lol:

:lol: means we are truly mad.......and, I forgot to add Barracuda to the list of bad kissers - 'tis a step far beyond Darter Fish and could involve tonsil contact. :blink:

trace amounts of dairy - that did not affect me when I was dairy-intolerant, the first few months.....is this about your daughter? How is she doing?

What in hell am I doing up at 5 a.m., talking to you people? :blink:

:lol:

back to bed for a bit more. 'Tis far too egregious an hour to be awake and communicating w/ people.

I think you have to drink the absinthe to "see" the phaeries.

Yes, this is about my trouble-maker . . . I'm doing everything I can to keep the dairy. I've got her on probiotics and I'm treating her as if she is lactose intolerant. No MSG. Really trying to cut the artificial dyes. Took her off of erythromycin (which I never thought she needed). She's on prevacid for acid reflux and it continues to "break through". I will be confessing to the GI today as we have an appointment. Cutting all dairy is my next step . . . praying that we get to add it back later is the step after that.

DingoGirl Enthusiast

Amanda, waiting for winter, did you say? :huh: Well then what was all this talk of heinous roads, driving on ice, snow......all of that. Was that imaginary? Were you lying to us? :lol:

Janet - the GI today - - oh I hope he has some brilliant idea for you....... I'm sorry your girl's still struggling......and yes, we MUST pray that dairy can re-enter her life!!!! It does happen. :)

I'm so sleep I don't even know what in hell I'm writing or saying. :blink:

Back to bed sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's another serious question . . . are your symptoms for consuming dairy the same as gluten? how 'bout trace amounts?

Mine are different. It affects my head mostly, I get very congested, sinus infections, head spacyness, and vertigo. I get some "gluten" symptoms too which are usually gastrointestinal, but not as much and not as severe. Trace amounts aren't bad as long as I don't do the trace amounts every day. I think that's why I can do small amounts of sheeps milk once a week. The two times I have knowingly had gluten, I got bad stabbing pains in my abdomin...didn't get that with dairy.

How does one school or train a minnow???? :unsure::lol:

I mean, if it doesn't come naturally is it worth it??

Hmmm, how long has she been gluten-free Janet??

Hubby also (as Susie) had the 'temporary' lactose (NOT Casein) intolerance about 6 months into going gluten-free.

He could tolerate butter and hard cheese so we knew it wasn't a casein thing.

(BTW - I believe sheeps milk products have less casein - feta cheese etc)

The slightest amount gave him worse symptoms than a 'glutening' (he is annoyingly mostly asymptomatic with gluten - it takes a build up for that to effect him)

Symptoms were really bad stomach pains and crashing headaches <_<

Hope you work out what's wrong :)

Did Susie go back to bed??? 5AM!!!!!!! (unheard of :o )

Mad giver of fish kissing catergories that she is :lol:

EDIT!!!!!! Don't want to panic myself but I'm fast approaching 2000 posts..........should I get the mac & wellies out??? :unsure:

I am a winter fan for skiing and watching it through the window...I do not driving on it. Snow is not too bad, ice forget about that....that is a death wish!

This warm weather for two days and then cold again is doing nothing but making us all sick...

jerseyangel Proficient

Yeah--it seems like an odd winter, although this is my first one in PA.

It could hit close to 70 tomorrow, I just heard! :o

I have a short sleeve shirt on today :)

I was hoping to wear a skirt tomorrow but I hear it is going to rain and that wont be any fun.

I am hoping to hit the slopes with Tammy this weekend! Another Saturday night run. Hopefully the weather doesnt take away all the snow...

Good luck today with the specialist, Janet. DS Jack told me shortly after he started gluten-free eating that it really wasn't a difficult way to eat. We were discussing other food intolerances and allergies, and his eyes suddenly widened in alarm as he said, "Oh! No WAY could I stop eating milky and creamy things!" Kids and milk....

But so many people can reintroduce it, so fingers crossed if that is the route you need to go! :)

I'm so sleep I don't even know what in hell I'm writing or saying. :blink:

Susie, I get exactly the same way when I'm sleepy. And hungry. And wistful. And angry. And attentive. And excited.......gahhhhhh.... :lol:

Oh boy....Could be today, Nikki. Mac and wellies, and tarps....

I haven't been to this website yet, but I heard about it on a very sophisticated morning radio show I listen to.

Apparently, there's one involving a priest that many find quite hilarious.

I will have to watch that at home, it is something right up my alley though :)

Happy Belated Birthday Colleen!!!!!!!!!!!! Emily's Aquarius HORRORscope was quite enlightening :P but you need not worry as we will ALL be in that mental institution with you :rolleyes:

How odd.....so let me get this straight...you rely on some ancient tradition where a beaveresque type animal forecasts the next 6 weeks weather?? :blink::huh::D

:lol: :lol: :lol: Yes- these BEAVER type animals are great weather men (weatherpeople? weatheranimules?)

Tom- Nice emoticonage pyramid!!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER smile in photos- grimace, snap with my teeth, growl, but NEVER smile :lol::D

It seems that while I was MIA (really- no clue where I've been :P but suffice it to say I was FORCED to watch the entire Superbowl- gaaa! TORTURE!) SUSIE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN BED.

Do we know for a FACT that she was really sick? :huh::P

Some funnies from me mum:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?

:D i LOVE this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay.....today - - - my prescription - - - snuggle up w/ John and Lucky - - have some fun drinks - cosmos? Or how about champagne mixed w/ pomegranite juice? Have the cocktails and eat some yummy snacks and look at the GORGEOUS Tom Brady and.......try and pretend that no wretchedness exists in your life........and remember that all of this, too, shall pass.

WHY WHY WHY- why do my doctors not prescribe this? actually, I'd RATHER snuggle with Brett Favre! He's a handsome fella! Tom didn't work out so well on Sunday!

I'm SO behind but it seems as though while I was away Nikki got her COCKLES warmed :lol: :lol:

Actually, while we're on the subject of dairy intolerances, I have a question to add to Janet's: Why is sensitivity/intolerance to gluten potentially life-threatening if not treated (cancers, malabsorption diseases, neurological affects), but lactose intolerance is not? I keep hearing how if one can toleratre the symptoms of LA, it's fine to consume dairy. They both involve an autoimmune response, correct? Bad antibodies floating about?

Hmmmmm.....very un-Silly of me. Should've started a new thread.....

That is very interesting--you should start a thread on it. :)

If an argument breaks out, I had nothing to do with it

Actually, I think that LI doesn't involve an immune response--it's an enzyme that's lacking to digest the dairy properly.

Hi Bev!!!! :D

Darn210 Enthusiast
Hmmm, how long has she been gluten-free Janet??

She's been gluten free for 10 months. Her blood test at the 6 month mark was excellent, couldn't ask for better. She was still having breakthrough acid reflux at that time so I didn't think it was cc. I started a thread (and got no answer to the question) asking if you were being cc'd (say on an every two-week basis) would it show up in a tTG reading.

But is lactose intolerance an autoimmune thing . . . I didn't think so . . . I thought you were missing an enzyme and the result of which causes a stomach ache/GI distress but doesn't particularly due damage . . . I may be totally wrong, that's just what I thought. And as far as a dairy intolerance . . . I think that's a different ballgame . . . Hmmmm, if only someone was going to be visiting a GI soon and could ask some of these questions.

Hmmmmm.....very un-Silly of me. Should've started a new thread.....

Oh Yes, I know I started it . . . hope no one "reports" us for being serious on the silly thread.

Nikki, in order to prepare yourself, you may need to get yourself this Open Original Shared Link. (Make sure you scroll down to see some of the inside photos and adds).

Actually I'd like to point out that chronic inflammation anywhere is associated with an incresed risk of cancer. So if you eat dairy and it gives you intestinal troubles, you might want to assume that there is some associated inflammation with it.

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      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.
