Infrequent visitor to sillyville here. I heard a rumor if you pass over a milestone number of posts here (799 to 800 for example), you can experience strange after effects. What symptoms might I expect? Does it involve itching, burning or swelling in any way? Can I take humaworm or some other medication to prevent it?

Makeup tips anyone? :lol:

OH CRAP. :huh: so.....now......they/Janet really DO know everything about me.....they came on here, under an alias, probably the minute I told them I was gluten-intolerant, a couple of years ago.....just pretending to be this wacky yet innocuous woman in middle America w/ two kids.....and now, they really do know way too much, hence their cautious stares.........

I have to move. :lol:

Well hello, wacky lady. :lol:

Makeup tips......lately I've had some boulder-sized structural (i.e., face-changing) zits and I put clay imbued w/ yeti scat on them to dry them up. :lol:

Your milestone posts should involved fluids. Could be bodily - yours or family members' - house fluids, outside flooding, anything like that. Fluids of any kind. The itching and burning......now that is something else that we just don't cover here, I'm afraid.

I'm infrequent here too, must've been in here at least once, as I still get notification of messages from silyville.

Thanks for the laughs.

After 800 posts according to rumour, you can experience strange after effects. I don't think it will be itching burning or swelling symptoms, as to me that sounds far too much like gluten poisoning. It has to be something that strengthens the character, as to post that many posts means someone is quite tenacious and determined.

I personally would like to think that after that many posts a sense of humour is attained.

I've missed so much silliness! I've been a busy beaver lately -- mostly good stuff. Hanging out a lot with Colin as well. Poor guy got a vicious puking virus and ever so kindly passed it on to me, but thankfully I seemed to have had a dulled down version of the bug. I bounced back pretty quickly -- props to my increasingly strong immune system.

I hope everyone is well. Bev and Patti, I'm sorry about the liver and the BP stuff. And Jess, sorry about the Psoriasis. Both my dad and bro have psoriasis but thankfully not too badly.

I think I'd have to go for the tiny bum on the head instead of the dangling chin-feet. I could imagine the feet getting caught in things which could be dangerous and painful.

Sorry about the undergrounder Susie. I get them on my chin occasionally and they hurt like heck. I frequently get them along my spine and when I lean back in a chair and the pimple gets crushed, it brings tears to my ears. Quite exquisitely painful.

Sorry about your and Colin's stomach bug--glad you were able to bounce back quickly....Hope Colin is feeling all better now too.

Oh....and the reason I came on was to give you your daily dose o'Uncle Ray!

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the priest beside her: "Father, may I

ask a favor?" "Of course, my child. What may I do for you?"

"Well, I bought an expensive woman's electronic hair dryer for my mother's birthday that is unopened and

well over the Customs limits, and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it

through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"

The priest answered: "I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."

"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you".

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you

have anything to declare?"

"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."

The official thought this answer strange, so he asked: "And what do you have to declare from your

waist to the floor?"

"I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."

Roaring with laughter, the official said: "Go ahead,Father. Next!"

Colleen!! The fluids should be building around you about now. Could be bodily, enviornmental, or mechanical (think motor oil or engine lubricant, but on a scale you've never even imagined before). Check your house insurance policy for exemptions. Have tarps handy.... :lol:

Just got back from follow-up appt with Dr....2nd blood test showed liver enzyme is "borderline" but since all other liver function tests are "perfect" she's not worried and will re-test in a year.

My blood pressure is another story :( I have to start a new med in addition to the one I'm on. And be more careful with salt :unsure:

Patti, what are the blood pressure meds like? Or are there a bunch, and they're all different...? I had a consult with my doc yesterday over the phone, and I told her mine hadn't gone down much. She gave me two more weeks for my numbers to go down, or I'll probably have to go on meds. At age not-quite-30. :unsure:

What does this mean???

I just don't know.

But... Birthday party tomorrow! Yay!

Saturday afternoon, not doing much. Big son is pining for a mcdonalds breakfast and says it must be a month since he's had one. Trying to figure out when I last had Mcd's for breakfast. I guess it was nearly three years ago, and hubby pipes up, yeah, just before I was coeliaced.

Overheard a group of 10 year olds talking about farting the other day. One says "Did you know farts can kill?" I was dying to put my hand up and ask how, but then it would've blown my cover. Have to ask, is it the fartee that dies, or the recipient of the smell? I'll put my money on the recipient of the smell.

Well, since my cover has been blown . . . here is the real picture of me and Bev and Panera's. Thanks to Bev and Carla for keeping my secret all this time but since Will the cat who is apparently crapping in my yard is out of the bag,I guess there is no longer a reason to carry on with the ruse.

Morning, all!

We woke up this morning to a surprise transit strike. After getting a tentative deal that was widely criticized as being too, too sweet for the union, they voted yesterday to reject it by 65%. And then walked out at midnight with less than an hour's notice.

So, unless something unexpected happens quickly, Monday will be hell on wheels in Toronto. :angry:

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
