Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour.

And sometimes Seinfeldian - like in Cell Phone, when it turns out Lacey's 'Save the Silo' campaign backfires in that the new cell tower was to go there. :)

On a related note - I saw part of the Monk pilot the other day & . ... ..Hank was in it!!!!!!

Of course, wearing a hat, but it was a newsboy cap or whatever, backwards.

He was killed :ph34r: and a car accident faked but it didn't fool Adrian. ;)

Wow, I leave for a few hours for a home cooked birthday meal and some DVD watching and I'm behind 4 pages. You were all in Phine Phunny Phorm this evening! We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Princess Bride-- two perennial favourite feel good movies. I must remember to pay Ryan back by watching some Batman movies on his birthday! ;)

Everything sounds great, Alex! Your guys are taking such good care of you :)

Can I just say how happy I am to see you so happy and doing so well! :D:D

I know, I'm so blessed with my family and my Ryan. Don't know what I'd do without them!

And thank-you! I'm so much better in mind, body, and spirit than I was on my last birthday and exponentially better than I was 18 or so months ago. Sometimes I forget how sick I was and how fortunate I was to have been diagnosed so quickly. I try to remember to be grateful, grateful, grateful!

I knew I'd find Alex here. I've come to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Wish you great wishes to come true, sweet girl! ;)

Thanks for stopping by for my birthday Lisa! :D

Oops, forget to say thanks for the confetti Tom, it was beautiful!

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour. I would have been absolutely CERTAIN that you would get a kick out of it.....

You must keep watching it.....it is SOOOOO PHUNNNNEEE!!!

My dad loves Corner Gas! I bought him one of the seasons on DVD for Christmas. I usually watch it but I'm kind of just meh about it. It does make me laugh quite consistently but I don't think that I have the appreciation like you guys and my dad have for the show.

And all of this talk about reading and book clubs, I must admit that I hardly ever read. It is bad and sad and I feel that I should be ashamed about it. It was good in high school when I had to read certain books for English class because I ended up loving a couple of the books -- The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. But I am not good at picking books for myself. I am always afraid I won't like the book. And there are just too many books to choose from -- I walk into Chapters and I get overwhelmed and just scurry to the CDs and DVDs! Does anyone have a good book recommendation for me? :unsure:

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... :lol: (I trade many books at used book store)

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

I watched the movie when it first came out (great actors, critical acclaim, yada, yada, yada...) and WHOARGH, it completely traumatized me, ya'll. I cried through most of the movie, and then pretty much cried all night. :blink:

Well, today's the day of Mom's dr appt. She gets her stitches out from the biopsy, and we should get the results. I've been looking at pictures of different types of skin cancer on the net this morning, and haven't seen anything that looks like what Mom has. But I also looked at pics of actinic keratosis, which is supposedly what the original biopsy showed two years ago, and it also looks nothing like any of those pictures.

ALL the pictures I looked at either looked like 1) a rash of varying colors; or 2) a gross oozing, crusty growth. Mom's thing is just a slightly raised discolored (pinkish) area, that looks a little dry.

In other words, I'm utterly confused, and this is exactly why I have NOT let myself search internet pictures before, up till now. Will update later.

I had one that looked exactly like that on my hand. I couldn't find a similar pic either, so I waited---thought maybe it was eczema. Finally went to the doc......he thought it looked pre-cancerous. Did a biopsy.....it was basal cell carcinoma-----that's not as serious as a lot of other skin cancers. When he did the biopsy he took off the whole thing, so nothing more needed to be done. It's been fine. A couple years later I found a similar one on my shoulder.......it was negative. Either way, I'm sure your mom will be fine.

Boy Nikki, this thing has realy taken you down :(

As a girl who is quite fond of food and eating, I know it's bad when it gets to the point where everything sounds yucky to eat, just the thought of eating gets a big "Ughhhh!"

I hope the tin of soup settles well with you :)

Sarah you and your mom are definitely in my thoughts!

I love HGTV :wub: You didn't happen to see House Hunters last night, did you? The couple who bought a house trailer on a boat slip in Florida for $520k :o Half a million...I couldn't believe it.

I digress... :lol: It's a nice, conservative tan-ish/khakki color with white trim. Very clean and neat :)

I love HGTV too, I watch it phrequently :lol: , but no, I was actually watching Top Chef reunion last night on Bravo so I missed House Hunters.

I think you will like the tan-ish kahki with white trim. All my walls here and ceiling are painted a very creamy mocha color, think coffee with cream, kind of a camel if you will, with crisp white trim. Everything just pops against it in a room. Art work and pictures on the wall look stunning.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s.  Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol.  Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog.  I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February.  My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t know the exact number since it was so high).  All my other labs were normal except Sodium and Chloride which were low.  I have more labs coming up in Dec.  I make my own bread, and don’t eat a lot of processed gluten-free snacks.
