Uncle ray (who I will see tomorrow at a family pah-tay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) sends this:

Grandma and Grandpa were visiting their kids overnight. When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son's medicine cabinet, he asked about using one of the pills.

The son said, 'I don't think you should take one Dad; they're very strong and very expensive.'

'How much?' asked Grandpa. '$10.00 a pill,' Answered the son.

'I don't care,' said Grandpa, 'I'd still like to try one, and before we leave in the morning, I'll put the money under the pillow.'

Later the next morning, the son found $110.00 under the pillow. He called Grandpa and said, 'I told you each pill was $10.00, not $110.00. 'I know,' said Grandpa. 'The hundred is from Grandma!'

Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA Freshman, sat in her US

Government class. The professor asked Bambi if she knew what

Roe vs. Wade was about.

Bambi pondered the question; then, finally, said, 'That was the decision

George Washington had to make before he crossed the Delaware .'

Whoa......funny stuff happening wif me phone line... ..dunno if this'll post or not. Could be outta the loop for the weekend.

Who said bikinis? Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhh....... :o:o

psawyer Proficient

Emily, it posted all right. I'm not sure about people of a certain age wearing bikinis. Of course, I personally would never be seen in one. I totally lack cleavage and am really completely flat in that department. :(

Something on the upside, but not silly. Jennifer has joined the team at our business and it looks like it will work well for all of us. She has a day job, but will work some evenings and weekends We are still looking urgently for another team member.

The $100 is from Grandma! :lol::D:lol:

Amanda is getting some time away from work. Hooray!

Hey everybody! Just pooping in so nobody thinks I died. :rolleyes: Good stuff and bad stuff to report...

End of school year stuff, several b-day parties,etc... Despite constant absences, Lucas passed 1st grade with flying colors, and Ezra's preschool teachers said he should do great in Kindergarten. I've got to get Ezra's graduation pic scanned so I can put it up as my av. What's cuter than a 5 year old in a cap and gown?! :wub:

We've been having lots of outside time, and art projects, and cookouts with the grandparents. Less than a week since school ended here, and we are LOVING summer vacation!!!

I still haven't put Luke on a probiotic yet, but the fiber supplements seem to be helping him!

I've been spending a lot of time with my friend I told you about, who's going through the bad divorce. I've known both of them for almost 10 years, and I cannot believe what a complete ass her husband has turned into. :angry: He just never grew up.

Oh, and the state is supposedly taking over maintenance of our road- which has always been a private road. And they've sent us all letters demanding nonsense-type work be done on everyone's front yards and driveways. It's a royal pain! And it got up to 100 degrees today-- not fun weather to heaving rocks out of a drainage ditch. So we're doing all this so that they'll repair any future potholes in our perfect-condition road, and plow the snow that we never get, because it's NC. Whatever.

The big thing that's going on right now has to do with my mom. Honestly, I'm really worried. She has a growth on her leg, and there's kind of a strong chance that it's cancer.

It's been there for a couple years, slowly growing. I nagged her into getting it biopsied about two years ago, and when she called for the results, the receptionist told her they came back normal. But it kept growing. So mom had our family doc look at it again, and she was horrified to see how big it has grown- the size of a silver dollar now.

So our doc looked back through the file at the biopsy results, and said that it was precancerous. Two years have gone by. It may have become cancerous by now, or maybe not. If it is cancerous, we don't know what type yet. I went with her to a surgeon Thursday, and he took another biopsy. It's going to be another week before we find out.

I'd love any prayers and/or positive thoughts you all could send her way! My mom's such a strong person, and I believe in my heart that no matter what it turns out to be, it will be manageable. But I am still worried. We are as close as a mother and daughter could be.

I missed the 1000th page rollover! I'll try to not be such a slacker.

Morning, everyone!

It's all okay phone-line wise.....huh, very odd......last night our phone line kept cutting in and out, would become very static-ey and then would be silent....then back on but a faint static...then a constant busy signal (?).....now 'tis poifect.

Was SO looking forward to dealing with my best friends over at the Bell Canada behemoth....NOT. So, I'll keep me fingers crossed.

Sarah, I am thinking and praying for you and your mom. The waiting is always SO tough.. ...but we've seen how strong you are, and I bet you get it from your mom. :)

Sounds like you're having a terrific summer wif yer kids!

I'll be back, barring static... ... ...

Jestgar Rising Star

So we have Tom in a bikini (monokini?) Sarah's mom growing silver dollars, Uncle Ray walking around with elderly blondes (with big smiles) and gluten-free projectiles flying overhead whilst everyone cowers under goalie pads. Did I get it all?

I'd be sure and paint arrows if I were you! :ph34r: label it like "Here! Not over there!" I wanted to do that when I had my gall bladder out cuz you always hear those stories. :P

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

I have no iron in my body (ferritin is 2, normal is about 100). Brain doesn't function, and for some strange reason, when my brain isn't working right I lose the small words, but can still use the big ones. And I can't follow a thought or concentrate. Nigh on impossible to do my job this week. I do a lot of stuff that requires focus and remembering what you've done until you've finished and can write it down.

Great visit with the gyn. She (of course it's a she) looked at my bloodwork and said "Can you even get up in the morning?" Amazing how nice validation is. The derm saw the same bloodwork two weeks earlier and his only comment was "You've now got the record for the lowest ferritin I've ever seen." <_<

Anyway, got some prescription iron. Was promised improved brain activity in two weeks. Now I have to tell my boss that I need 6 weeks off. Fortunately I'm too tired to even care.

Can I get one of those goalie pads to nap on?

jerseyangel Proficient

Sarah!!!! There you are :D

You better know that I'll say a prayer for your mom! Yes, the waiting is so hard....

Good news about the boys--glad you can be there for your friend :)

Road stuff=heinous :angry:

Take care, we're always thinking about you ;)

Darn210 Enthusiast

Sarah!!! So glad you could poop in . . . prayers and hugs for you and yer mum . . . we were gettin' ready to send out a search party for you.

For my first knee surgery I wrote "Not this one" on my contralateral other knee. I believe I was talked about for weeks.

Well, I say give 'em somethin' else to talk about . . . just takin' a guess as to where they are headin' with the hints (6 weeks off, low iron, hanus goil surgery) . . . use your glitter body paint to write, "This uterus, not my other one" :huh::blink::lol::lol: . . . Positive energy headed your way, too, Jess!! . . . and I suppose that Susie and I can put off our rumble until you no longer need the napping goalie pads.

I am child free for a couple of hours . . . yipeeeeee!!! . . . hubby took the kids to the museum ('tis a thunderstormy day today - we're ASSuming baseball will be cancelled).

Ugh....I did it again. Yesterday I decided to treat myself to some homemade popcorn and a Boylan natural soda. I've been on the grainless, sugarless Edna for 5-6 weeks now and thought what the hell--one day won't make a difference.

Well, as far as the weight loss maybe, but I spent all last evening and most of the night nauseous and having terrible anxiety. At one point, my heart was beating so fast that I scared meself. Plus, I virtually never vomit--but I came thisclose last night.

I seriously think that the corn did this--it was one of the foods that the Kinesiologist said I should not eat ever.....of course, so what do I crave? <_<

Feeling better this morning--but wrung out..... :(

Gawd :angry:

Jestgar Rising Star

Bummer Patti. I, too, had corn one day. It was enough to convince me not to do it again (well, until the next time I do it again).

At least you can be sure that (most of the time) you are doing really great things for your body.

      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
