Amanda, when Jacquie and I were in Orlando, we went to the space center. This was in 1996. There were two tours available, one of the civilian NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center, and one of the more historic Cape Canaveral Air Force Station where the earlier missions were launched. We did both. I would do it again. It was a much more enjoyable day than the one we spent at Disney World.

I read a lot of books, and am currently reading "The Mushroom Man" by Stuart Pawson. It is a murder mystery set in England in the south of Yorkshire. The protagonist is Detective Inspector Charlie Priest, and when the story is from his point of view, the narration is in the first person. I read this passage this afternoon. Charlie is speaking.

I grabbed my book of numbers an wrote out a few for Gilbert. After stuffing a few plastic bags in my pockets I was down the stairs faster than a lighthouse keeper with diarrhoea and an outside toilet.

That image was just so, well, celiac that I had to share it with my silly friends.

I don't see any "warn(0%)" by your post count btw, and never heard of such a thing. Moderators know?

Obviously, this spammer must have nothing better to do today than to tell us about "pizzle enhancers????" Sounds like a personal problem to me!

Perhaps he should just go out and buy a sports car like every other guy who's trying to compensate for something. It's bad enough that we all get this garbage in our emails.

Well, g'night sillies. :)

Such d%$#@#$ baggery!!!!! Now MINE says "warn (0%)"!!

:lol:

"Lighthouse D" belongs in the lexicon :D

In the context I'd always seen a$$cracker, it seemed more a combo of a$$hole and the southern usage of cracker, like an ignorant bumpkin.

Although, Em may have somphin there with the other boob thing :P

:lol: 'twas not the other boob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susie, you must 'fess up, my dear! :P

Okay...........here's what happened. :( and I am a compleeeeeeeeeeeet eejit.

We went to a restaurant where I have been at least a DOZEN times since dx, and eaten safely. There is a wonderful kitchen manager there, with whom I usually speak - no problems, EVER.

Well............Saturday night, after a coupla mojitos, this is where we went, and we had a new, young waiter. I told him about my issues, but quite briefly.............ordered shrimp w/ garlic/butter/white wine and asparagus. He assures us this is okay.

I ate my shrimp..........but noticed that there seemed to be a .........mealy? quality to the shrimp.......as if coated with something. I paid no heed and kept going. :(

Sunday, I was not well..........but attributed it to mojitos and - later - red wine. :ph34r: Yes, Kissey and I do like to get our drink on...........so I thought this, on Sunday, was the problem........more..... beverage than usual.

So - I ate the leftover shrimp/asparagus (which were so pithy and undercooked as to feel like eating a TREE TRUNK :blink: ) on Sunday..........and today.............. :( many, many trips to toilet and my BRAIN??????? As bad as it can be, my friends. Crying, emotional, dramatic, and thinking the darkest thoughts ever. I put it together..........our restaurant had failed us as there had been nothing else suspicious or not made from home.

Today's depression was quite dramatic.......horrible...very sad. :( Dark thoughts.

But - - I have gone to Save Mart and purchased ONLY safe, whole meats/fish/poultry/veggies/fruits - -have to be pure again and make myself right. HARRUMPH!!!!!!!!!!! Been living dangerously because I am trying to seem......normal..........going out and ordering things and eating other things that seemed....easy and right......but not being careful. BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I now know that I have to be more strict. Kissey can do his own things away from me and even with me but........*I* have to be quite careful as cannot afford to be this messed up.

and there you have it, phfriends. Susie is a careless, daredevil, gluten-brained, reckless eejit. :ph34r:

:( I had the same shrink in Monterey for five years, once to twice a week. Loved her. She knew, if I ever lost my sense of humoUr (which is somehow a detached portion of my brain, and works better in writing than in person) that things were very, VERY dire......she considered hospitalizing me a few times.....and in hindsight, I wish I'd gone. Would have given more credibility to my struggles............but I fought like hell to stay out, because I had a wonderful mom, and dingo whom I could not leave, and would recuperate at the Janie sanitarium. :huh:

night, sillies. Bad day, but half the carpet is shamPOOed, tomorrow, the rest. :weaksmile:

Elsie and Gus are currently sprawled out on the office floor behind me, chewing on each other's ears. When they are finished with each other they always approach me in a rush, completely covered in slobber (greenguy)......

Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

Mornin' Sillies :D

Boy, this warning thing has people in a tizzy! I just logged on--can everybody now see their own, or does everyone see everyone else's? I'm confuzzled :blink:

Ah Suzzle--the restaurant meal :angry: Well, you tried to get a safe meal--that's really all you could have done. The safe foods prepared at home should have you back in the pink before too long. My last glutening (the dates <_< ) lasted 10 days, so be patient :)

I see Judy! :D

Em--your two pooches nibbling each other's ears--so cute! :)

Nik--still soggy, are ya? Glad to hear you're keepin them feet in sneekers! :P

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

elye Community Regular

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

I had a dream last night about Jess :lol: Alls I remember was she lived in a cool loft and had lots of people around.

Question: I have not as yet had any dreams involving Sillies, so I am curious as to how it will transpire when it does happen - - since we don't really know what Jess looks like, what did she look like in your dream, Patti? How did you know it was her? Did she have to tell you who she was? "Hey - - it's me.....you know.. ..Sillyville Jess"....

Others have had Citizens of Sillyville dreams....how do we know that we're dreaming of one another?! :huh::lol:

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow? :rolleyes:

elye Community Regular

AH!... .... . .. ...There it suddenly is.... ... ... ...I am part of the Zeros... .. ..... <_<:unsure:

Jestgar Rising Star

I have to post just so I can see my warning level :P

Hmm, cool loft. I'll have to work towards that.

The new cats are getting weened off canned food. They are certain that this signals impending death by starvation. :ph34r:

Suzzle

OMG!!!!

Susiepiggle suzzle!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Nik--still soggy, are ya?

Why yes Paddeigh, I am <_<

Nikki! You dreamed of me being quite wealthy and b!tchy....What did I look like? Was I lovely? Did I start to run, and look like a cow? :rolleyes:

Well now, you looked as you do in yer pics - frightfully stylish (absolutely NO mooing OR swinging of udders) in a black Yves St Laurent trouser suit ;)

I keep seeing that topic . . . Food Attachment Issues . . . and keep reading it as Foot Attachment Issues and thinking that Nikki is working out the logistics of her Feet Transplant.

Sillie Em...I've seen Jess, she had an av up a while back taken while on a trip. Also in that dream was the man who bought our house last summer.....I wish to heck I could remember more cuz' it was probably a good 'un :lol:

I don't dream all that often, or at least remember them, but when I do it seems that everything is all there at once :o

Weird.....and quite exhausting :huh:

On to more important news.....I fit into my size 10 crop pants as of this morning!!! :D:D:D And not lay-on-the-bed-and-hold-my-breath-so-I-can-zip- them, either :D Stood there and zipped 'em right up! :) I kept them hanging in my closet for 2 years, never giving up hope :lol:

DingoGirl Enthusiast
Susie, what did you do about all the playful dingo slobber?! :rolleyes::lol:

Well, Em, dingos don't slobber!!!!!!! Annie does, however, foam at the mouth and have shoestring spit ONLY and I mean ONLY at the dog park. :blink: 'tis most curious.........

So glad your standards are enjoying each other, and Elsie, gaining weight and strength! :wub:

I have no warning percentages beside me. I would think that not being part of this Visible Percentage Warning Club (VPWC) matters not, but by the sounds of things, it's currently de rigueur... ... .

:unsure: I don't have this either. OMG - does this mean - we're not even worthy of being told that we have no warnings? :lol:

      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
