I just took a quick gander at the "moderating team" . . . looks much shorter than it used to . . . I don't think you were the only one, Bev.

WOW! This is exciting.....something clandestine's afoot.....

I think that any moderator who partakes in superfluous question-and-answer activity, who admits that they might eat fecal matter and sprout a little bum on their forehead, well...I think they may be watched very carefully, and perhaps let go.

Is it a mere coincidence that Moderator Amanda received official notice of "jury duty?" Amanda, don't believe it - - it's a ruse. You'll be instructed to go to a federal-looking building, and arranged in a room with other potential "jurors" for questioning. They will really be other moderators, about to face the potential axe. You could very well face Scott himself for the questioning. Be calm and stay on your toes. He'll try to trip you up, asking how you feel about parades, David Hasselhoff, hovering, anal glands......be strong.

Yep, methinks Scott is worried about Sillies in official forum positions......

:lol::lol:

. . . and I suggest that we all disperse to the various threads in this forum and give all the newbies advice on how to follow a gluten-free Edna . . .

There could be a couple of literal gluten-free Ednas on here...hafta check the signatures before we impart this advice....

um.......yeah, there are many who are no longer active - - did they get fired?

Chances are great that they appeared for jury duty shortly before they lost Moderator Status....

:huh::lol:

OMG - I've had Weezee for over five years - - and never, not once, has she howled at a siren, or done anything except perk up her ears (except for once, when my mom just babysat her)..........and now..........just now........the longest, mournful wail, followed by whimpering - - what does it mean? :huh:

Mygawd...Scott has the cops out........... :o:lol:

Read my post in that.......binge-eating section. No - wait - that's not what it was called. It was about......eating and still being hungry. Yeah, that's it.

OMG - Kissey is coming home tomorrow and...........we can't even BREATHE without each other. :lol::huh:

We have been on the phone about - 50 times a day (an exaggeration) this week.

This is inordinately entertaining to me, the girl who could hardly stand to have anyone around for too long.

There's always next week. :lol:

Last night, he drank NINE beers........and passed out........but wasn't that drunk.......it was most curious.

Phunny, but here we haven't seen a jump in food prices - - yet....(looking askance for wood to knock). Dunno why this would be. Oracle Peter?

Wait for it, it will come. The folks who think ethanol is a cleaner fuel don't understand the the energy used to create the ethanol is more than the energy that the ethanol provides. At the same time, ethanol is made from crops that would otherwise be used as food. Hey, what a fan-f***ing-tastic idea: let's turn food into motor fuel.

I've been de-moderatored by Scott- OK- who turned me in? :ph34r::P (he said it was because I haven't been actively moderating- uh huh, sure :P )

I don't know what the criteria Scott looked at were. If you missed the cut, it must be something other than just reading and posting. Perhaps he has a way of knowing how many times you actually used your moderator privileges to do something.

Names no longer on the list that come to mind include: bean, celiac3270, flagbabyds, KaitiUSA as well as mtndog. There may be others. Scott's message to me about this implies that if you are still active and want to be reinstated you can send him a message (PM?) and he will likely reactivate you.

Morning Sillies!

I finally got my IPOD working again last night, if I knew 4 months ago restoring it to factory settings would be the answer than I would have done that :P But alas I did not.

How is everyone today...I sure do hope it gets to be warm out again, its May and the temp this morning was 40! :huh: Nuts!

Well I guess it is time to get some work done....I hear that is a requirement around here.

Talk to you all later

jerseyangel Proficient

Good morning Amanda--and Sillies everywhere :D

Had to be up and about early--my cutie-patootie plumber was here already....we sprung a small leak under the sink that he replaced in February. Turned out to be a defective seal, so he phixed it for phree. Woo-Hoo! :D

Susie--Kissey comes home tonight!!!!! Woo-Hoo again!!!!!

Well, how is everyone the morning after the Great Moderator Upset last night? Bev--are you going to ask to be re-instated or just say the heck with it? Looks to me like everyone else removed was totally inactive--but you are a regular contributor. :huh:

Ha Janet--since no one offered total perfect health and a svelte body, it was simply a bowl of fruit, not a bowel. :lol:

Julie--I'm doing really well on the Edna....not always happy about it, but sticking to it and feeling pretty well actually. Jeans getting looser (Mark mentioned it last night :) )--just have to keep plugging along. How about you? Any more baby steps? :rolleyes:

Morning, all!

Just checked the morning paper - - The Ripper isn't in there, yet. He's driving me nuts..."Will it be in tomorrow?! By the weekend? WHEN?!"

Pretty exciting for a kid... :)

Hey, what a fan-f***ing-tastic idea: let's turn food into motor fuel.

I was chatting with my mom yesterday about the whole world economy/cost of living/fossil fuel crisis, and she said, I believe, this exact sentence, Peter....

I don't know what the criteria Scott looked at were. If you missed the cut, it must be something other than just reading and posting. Perhaps he has a way of knowing how many times you actually used your moderator privileges to do something.

What is this?..... :huh:<_<

One can use moderator "privileges" to do certain things? This could, surely, lead to abuse of one's position. Does one get forum lunches and company vehicles? What else, exactly, does the moderator status allow one to do besides read and post?....

Does a moderator get more emoticons? larger quotation quotas? Immunity from the "report" button? Hmmmmmm, what is going on?...... We little, ordinary members need to investigate all this.....

How about you? Any more baby steps? :rolleyes:

Glad to hear it Patti!

I'm very slowly plugging along, only on day 3 here :lol: Taking out dairy/casein is on the agenda today. Doing well staying away from sugar. Dairy and sugar are my biggest offenders.

. . . towards the coat rack treadmill?

:lol:

Yeah Julie--have you actually made contact yet? :P

:lol:

I have made contact :lol: I also have been using my rebounder.

'Brazilian cheese thread' sounds kind of seedy to me anyway :lol:

Happy first day of the month to you too. And today is a special first day of the month, it's May Day!!!

(and I am looking out the window at a heavy snow fall :huh: , what's wrong with that picture?!?!)

jerseyangel Proficient

Oh no Julie--not snow on May Day!!! Just doesn't seem right.

Is this normal for you out there, or just a fluke? It's nice and sunny here, a little cool.

Glad to hear that you're on the treadmill and the rebounder! Very impressive B) Good luck with the dairy--I've been off it for over 3 years now--for me not nearly as hard as sugar. That sugar is tough :(

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
