Oh Wait!! I completely forgot . . . the Carla emoticon . . . :D:D:D

And this is the Annie emoticon :blink:

Richard, I also did not do well on Prozac. It completely changed my behavior, I was not at all myself, a whole different maniac of a person that thought differently acted differently. It also made me not want to eat, I ate literally an apple a week and developed anorexia.

:o an apple a week???????????? OMG - maybe I should take another look at Prozac....trying to lose that stubborn five pounds............. :blink:

And this is the Annie emoticon :blink:

no silly, :P:wub: <----- THOSE are the Annie emoticons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I just want to help her get better...it's frightening -the change in her demeanor and her withdrawl from the world at large.

Richard, so sorry to hear about your sister :(

Like Susie my hubby's only symptom (other than being stick thin) was wild, rapid, crazy mood changes.......anti-depressants didn't seem to help (can you say manic?) and gawd knows it's always harder to get a guy to go to the docs.

He ended up having a complete breakdown.......BUT, this was actually a good thing as it got him properly medicated - - and can I just say I do NOT miss the every day emotional rollercoaster of 15 out of 20 yrs of our marriage :rolleyes: - THANKYOU evil gluten :angry:

I know it would be hard to even think about changing her diet when in that state of mind but it's worth a try??

Hope things get better for her ;)

GORGEOUS teeth Carla!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

My son has just had his new brace put on.......he still can't talk without spitting :lol: ....and I can't understand a word he says.

He has to turn a key in it once a week to widen his upper palate (ouch :( )

Oh GAD!!!....talking of teef, poor hubby had to have a tooth extracted today......t'was beyond redemption (bloomin' coeliac strikes again).....dentist said it was SO rotten he could see his jaw bone (EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!)

He has to go back to have some more out :(

Susie.....if you're gonna go for Amy's subtle eye make-up look, can I suggest you also try the bee-hive ??? (maybe the trucker like tattoos also??)........re-invent yourself!!!!!! :lol:

Richard, my son has responded significantly to the gluten-free diet. He was never clinically depressed, but he certainly was not a happy child, and had a great deal of anger. Away from gluten these past four months, he's a happy, coping boy. This can certainly happen with your sister. Bet it will...... :)

No no no no, you do not want manic anorexia, twas a living hell.

I'd like to be maybe a part-time anorexic. Turn it off and on every month or so, for those frequent five pounds....... <_<

Yes, Happy Birthday to MEEEEEE!!!!!!!! :lol:

Richard - I'm going to light a birthday candle, wish for your sis to decide trying gluten-free can't hurt, & blow it out.

This method CANNOT fail!!!!!!

. . ..and the phone rang. It as my sister. My dad had had a massive heart attack, and was on his way to emergency.

Yikes Em!!!!! :ph34r:

Jesus really said that? Whoa...I thought a cubit was a metric area measurement or something.

I thought a cubit was length, but :lol: only because of Bill Cosby's 'Noah' routine from the 70s, when we got our comedy on LPs. :lol:

( rrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiight )

:lol:

Im-pek-WHAT-ious? This better not be from today's wordoftheday.com!!!!!

<ohhhhhhhhhhh . .. . . ..I don't like that word>

I was trying to see if there is research that showed celiac disease manifesting with depression as a symptom. She has none of the GI symptoms...

The research won't be hard to find.

I only had minor and very ignoreable symptoms only until the severe depression started in '96.

And I think it's fair to say celiac made for a lifelong mild depression prior to that.

<ahhhhh the wonders of self-medication>

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! :D:)

OMG - go and gitcherself some of that GrOeen Phaerie, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<_< is that pronounced groin phare-rhee? :ph34r:

Notice anything different about me?????

:D I KNEW today was the day!

<way to be quick on the avatoofesses>

B.O.D., braces-OFF-day, is one great day. :):D

Great pic!

Prozac did nothing for me, bad or good. In fact, it was only one that didn't provide a decent 2 or 3 wks before becoming ineffective.

Only gfcfsfvfyf etc was effective. ;):)

Number two? Who was that, Ptaum?

Oops the * means 'times'. ;)

Dear tom,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :) I hope you treat yourself to something nice! Blowing out that candle for Richard's sister should help get her going on the right track. I have not been on the computer much lately, because I have been going to the hairdresser. Pulling out the black dye has taken a lot of work! :lol: Tomorrow, I will finally get to do the actual hair dying and highlights. My stylist is also doing layers to make it look fuller.

Dear Emily,

I am so sorry about your sister! :o I hope she will be alright. This is scary. Heart problems are often sudden. We will all be sending positive energy your way! The Yeti began a vigil, but I told him he cannot light the candles. He is a total klutz and will set everything afire! :lol:

Dear Richard,

I hope your sister tries the diet. It cannot hurt. We all will be more than happy to help her. I can send her my list if need be. Anything to make the transition easier!

Dear Everyone,

I cannot get into my e-mail right now. Hotmail is down. That means catching up on the OMG Thread is going to be much tougher than usual. I hope to be able to post my column tonight. I am pretty worn out from yesterday. Tomorrow will be the day of the reveal. Plus, I should have a new avatar this weekend!

Sincerely,

Jin

This is why you must quit your job and become a full-time silly thread poster. Nobody will ask you to vary any multi avanovas here. . . 'course the pay's not too good . . . might be tough to pay the rent . . . do you have a big car that you can live in?

:huh: Good luck with that! :wacko:

All I know is that multivariate analysis of variance is used when you have several dependent variables.

Wilks' lambda rings a bell for MANOVA with me. But really I have no idea. Maybe look for Wilks' in your stats package. Good luck. It all sounds very painful. :blink:

<I don't think I like the sound of that>

Well, maybe I do....

Are there groin phaeries? If so, Perhaps I can enlist help from one of them, as (yet another instance where the subjects on our thread suddenly mirror my real-life content) Sophie has come home from her school hockey tournament with--you guessed it--a pulled groin. The bane of goalies.... :( So, I be needin' some pharies with groinal experience! :rolleyes::lol:

Prozac did nothing for me, bad or good. In fact, it was only one that didn't provide a decent 2 or 3 wks before becoming ineffective.

Exactly the same situation with my mom. Her magic bullet, finally, came with Effexor. She's been on it for eight years, very successfully.

Dear Emily,

I am so sorry about your sister! :o I hope she will be alright.

No, no!........Not my sis, but thank you for the good wishes! My dad had his big cardiac arrest almost three years ago, and while he lost quite a section of working heart area, he recovered very well. we were all lucky! :)

YOUR LIPS ARE MOVING BUT I CAN'T HEAR what you say :lol:

I think it means that you can do an analysis of variance (anova) with more than one variable to see which variable is causing the change but you NEVER heard it from me and i never Open Original Shared Link

Oh my sillies- I fear that my silliness has taken a vacation without me. Feeling all sad and out of sorts these days :( Winter doldrums? What would have been my mom's 74th birthday yesterday? Now that I'm 40, am I too old to stomp me feet and yell I WANT MY MOMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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. 
    • knitty kitty
      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. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
