Well.......if ya want them to just....you know.....disappear... . . .. lemme know.....

:lol:

:lol::lol: I think people might notice . . . :unsure: . . . :lol::lol:

But I got great knees...... <_<:rolleyes:

Ahhhhh . . . perhaps Josie's in the right home . . . I can totally relate to her knee problems. <_<

Poor wittle Josie! keep an eye on her, Janet...I've heard that veterenairy knee/hip surgery that is done before things get bad is considerably less involved (read: cheaper)....

Doc said "sooner than later" when we start noticing issues will result in an "Overall better long-term outcome" . . . I read "Don't let it get so bad that she ends up screwing up other things to compensate."

Watch for my "tat" on ebay to pay my vet bills!! :P

What??? A what made from a WHAT????????

:lol: I first discovered them at Petsmart in Monterey, years ago......pizzle dog treats...........it was Tika's FAVORITE thing of all time (saucy gal) but......I'm not sure Annie has ever had the pleasure of a pizzle. :huh:

<although, she came to the pound pregnant and all her pups were adopted out, so she did have at least ONE encounter w/ a pizzle :lol: )

B. Sir Winston Churchill

B) 'Twas the one I picked, and, he is my favorite world leader in all of history......marvelous painter also, and fought the "black dog" of depression........hence, the whiskey, I guess :blink:

OHHHHHH . . . I HEAR ya in that one!!! I've got a couple of favoUrite posters that usually annoy me and what do I do? . . . I almost always go read what they say so that I can tell my self "I knew they were going to say that!!!" and be all annoyed again.

:unsure: who? who are they? I wanna know so *I* can be annoyed also!!!!!!!!! Because, I don't stray too far outside of the 'Ville any more......but come on, I want to be annoyed also!!!!!!! :lol:

I was thawing some pork chops in the microwave, planning to top with veggies and some salt-free stewed tomatoes. I was chopping the veggies, and re-read the can....I missed this in the store--natural flavors :o:o

:unsure: OMG Patti - and all youse guys - a confession - I eat things w/ natural flavoUrs regularly..... :huh: I know......careless..........sloppy...........and maybe this is why I'm not my best any more? :( Good thing you saw that and averted the disaster!

But - -but - - OMG - guess I need a lecture on the avoidance of these ersatz flavors.....

They are also dog treats. We sell them. The treats are also known as bullwrinkles, and as steer sticks. Full size they are almost 30 inches, but are popular when cut into 12- 8- or 5-inch pieces.

Yes, who doesn't love a good pizzle.... :P

y. Now does anybody else here feel like this is somehow Emily's fault???!!!???

*snort* :lol:

I'm w/ ya too Alex. I wasn't sure if I was gonna say so, but I see I'm not alone.

A couple weeks ago I felt like I could create a reply w/ all (well .. . .5-7?) ppl's replies in one.

And more recently there are times I've wondered if newbies are being helped or harmed by seeing some of these STRONGLY presented, and in my mind only marginally correct, at best, in only the most narrowly defined circumstance.

Yet these opinions are spewed as being applicable to ALL situations.

Particularly bothersome in some cases where the opinion is formed over just a few weeks. <shakes head>

OK . ....back to Sillyville ... .

That dang RIPPER!!!!!!!!!

Never expected THAT!!

<give him a firm but harmless back-of-the-head slap for me will ya?> :lol:

Hitler was a gifted artist - - some of his landscapes were literally beautiful....and he also loved dogs, with his entire being. These facts about the the most infamous madman of our time are somehow not just unsettling, but terrifying.. ..I'm not certain why. :unsure:

Nope--no lecture, but not checking and making sure what's in them could be part of the problem ;) Actually a major part if it's in something you eat regularly....this is the point in a conversation where I say "That's all I'm going to say" and then Mark says "No, it's not". :lol:

Well, I sure as hell ain't gonna put it in writing . . . especially since we can't go back and edit anymore. There is more than one on my list, and they don't always annoy me. All I'll say is that I've never seen them on this thread . . . but . . . :ph34r: . . . maybe they read along anonomously (and before you think it, it's not Peter) or logout and then just visit as a guest.

beef jerky - heap o' pizzle........hmmm..........must ponder (BTW the pizzle treats are shredded - so - it's really shredded pizzle - not whole - I don't think they're sold whole to pets :blink: or are they? Dang that would be a big' un )

I'm sorry I brought this on Janet. :unsure: But it is comforting to know that I'm not the only one who gets aggravated by some posts. I guess its normal. But I must resolve to be more patient and understanding of people who do/act/say things that drive me around the bend. It's just so difficult!!! I'm sooooo easily annoyed by some types of people. I worked with someone once who bothered me so much that I had to fake sick a couple times a month to go home early because she was so irritating that I feared I might tell her what I really though about her . . . which would include some horribly hurtful words.

Can I learn to be more patient and understanding? :huh:

Oh!!!! . . . and duh . . . it rules out . . . ME!!!!

Actually . . . confession time . . . my daughter's GI wanted everyone in the family to get screened. I was pretty darn sure that it came through my husband's side of the family (looking at all the digestive issues). Well, hubby's blood test was negative (last fall). So it's only been a yearf since my daughter's diagnosis and I'm going to go get my blood test tomorrow :P .

Alex!!!! No Worries, Mate!!! I can handle it!!! I was debating doing the PM thing . . . it's just those things usually end up bitin' me in the arse later down the road and then I totally regret spillin' out too much info. I'll go and PM everybody with the names and then I'll end up offending one of youse guys because someone on me list is a best buddy. . . well, maybe not . . . but you know what I mean.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      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.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. 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
