Hey Janet - - how is your boy doing? haven't heard anything.....and I rarely leave the safety of this wackl thread any more........

He's doing OK. They say this surgery is much worse on adults. I have decided it's because their mothers aren't there to make them eat and drink which is key in healing quickly. He would prefer not to eat at all and I tell him he has to . . . and he does pretty good. Last night was the first night that he (and therefore I) slept through without having to get up for more pain meds.

Moved on to any solids yet??...or still on the ice cream :P

Well, of course I am still on ice cream . . . Oh, you mean my son??? :embarrassedface:

See previous post . . . I forced him to eat some solids starting yesterday and we have progressed today. He wanted to know if he could have some crisps potato chips. I told him he could and that he needed to chew them verrrrrrryyyyy well so they wouldn't scratch. He had two!!! He snubbed his nose at my homemade banana milkshakes . . . I of course ruined them by adding . . . bananas!!!

Friends of David's are getting married on Sunday.

Oh jeez .. ...attending a wedding w/ a girlfriend was always a harrowing experience for me in the past.

Had to keep tabs on them getting that look in their eyes.

Ptaum , have you tried any French stuff? I quite lurve my Absente.

Quickie update... They've made huge progress on the fire this afternoon, and although it's still burning, it definitely looks like the worst is over!

Glad to hear all is well with DS, Janet...man, I could use a surgical incision in my throat right now, causing high pain when swallowing foodstuffs. That boy doesn't know how lucky he is!! <_<:rolleyes:

Okay, there are two pages to go until the Royal Flipover, and of course, I will be out this evening. Please keeps posting to a bare minimum until tomorrow afternoon, when I can sit for an hour or so, waiting....watching...coiled and ready to spring..... :lol:

OMG - you have no idea. Yes, we do have the look. when we were at David's on St. Pat's day, w/ about 10 people over, three of them (including Jenn) were pretending, while we were saying goodbye, to collectively vomit in this large paper bag one of them was carrying. Then, this guys says......"oh look! I can vomit from them without even sticking my finger down my throat!!"

And Jenn says....."that's why I call them my Kisseys." :lol:

Yes, the wedding will be outside in the desert, actually, on horseback, at a saloon, bar wenches and saloon doors creaking, tumbleweeds, a big old shootout, spurs, coyotes, all of it. :lol:

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!! what in hell do I wear on the plane? :huh: You would all DIE if I told you the last time I was on a plane. I"m actually too embarrassed to tell you all. But, it was BEFORE 9/11. :( ( I do love flying - - but never have any money to travel and......being out of my comfort zone has always been difficult for me).

I ALWAYS ALWAYS look really ugly when I travel. There is no getting around this. Hair turns out badly, I get stains on myself, rumpled clothing, ugly outfits.....dear gawd. Poor David.

:lol: :lol:

okay well - - I guess I"ll wear jeans on the plane and.....some dark-ish shirt or sweater....lest I really DO have some spillage accident ( I wear a lot of white and 'tis just not practical for traveling - or, even for living, for that matter :blink )

A barely audible creaking noise punctuates the windless silence. Rusty hinges on the saloon half-doors protest quietly as a figure pushes through them. She stands in shadow...an odd curl of flaxen hair is illuminated by the setting sun, as is the smoke furling slowly from a long cigarette held brazenly in her gloved hand. She moves forward a step, and the light now catches the full crimson of her parted lips, shining beads around her long, pale neck.....

It is the alehouse slattern, emerging into the evening light to witness the Russian roulette match that will decide it all....which lover will take claim of her, forever....

Sarah's av reminds me of those slow-motion films that are shown in high school human sexuality classes........it looks like a fallopian tube spitting out the egg.............ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!

Emily is going out tonight. Emily has a social life. Who knew?

Sarah's phire is losing strength. Hmm. I don't think that sounds like what I mean, that is, oh darn, just phorget it. Sarah, I do hope things are looking up phor you and your phamily.

Ptaum, as your second reign nears the end, and we await your successor, do you have any phinal royal thoughts as our only two-term (not consecutive) leader?

And Susie is off to Lost Wages for a wedding! But it isn't hers. I expect that will come in the course of time, but I suppose that Alex and Ryan will get there phirst. Alex, we haven't heard phrom you lately.

Okay, this was just a bunch of random thoughts. A phine phit in the happy phamily we call Sillyville.

It's Phriday Knight, time for a little phun before the weak end really starts. ;)

Just got back from the neighbors where we the moms and kids watched "Enchanted" and the dads watched basketball . . . hmmmmm, doesn't seem quite right.

My daughter has lost another tooth today. The second one this week. Right after we got home, she asks my husband "you want to know why my mouth feels weird" and my son immediately responded with "because it's tired from you blabbering all the time" . . . he's feeling better.

so. y'all remember my rant from a few pages back about the woman I had to work next to who spent most of her time websurfing?

Well there was kind of a big blowout today and my boss asked me what I thought would help my frustration. I said that I was planning to switch desks as soon as our student left at the end of the year. He offered me a different desk that was far less desirable, which I declined. Then I left early (after only 8 hours...). well, I just checked my email and she sent me a note saying she was moving her desk (to the less desirable desk) and I could find her there if I had anything to say to her.

I expect she'll still spend her time surfing, but at least I won't have to be around it.

GAH!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Good one!

Well, they'd gotten the fire pretty much put out on our side, but now it's cresting the top and trying to come back over again. <_< We've got a 20% chance of rain tomorrow though, that would help.

Maybe I'll go do a raindance out on the back deck!!! That would be fun.

I don't get it! He asks what would help your frustration... instead of asking her to curb her surfing! Something about that is bizarre.

Yeah, at least she's far away now, at The Crappy Desk.

Omg, where's Susie?! There's a SPAMMER over in "Other Food Intolerances and Leaky Gut Issues." Sic 'em Susie!!!!!!!

:huh: What kind of lame-ass posts advertisements in a Leaky Gut forum, anyway?

      @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! 
    • knitty kitty
      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.
