That would be fun Julie, count me in!

I'll send you an invitation Carla! :lol:

Oh no, Julie....that sounds awful! Is it a random thing, where you never know where or when an outbreak will occur? I hope the new doctor in Arizona will be able to shed some light on this.

It is Patti, very random. I never know when I am going to get an outbreak, or where when it does happen. When it's in the throat it's quite scary as it could close up and block my airway. So I was quite on edge, but it finally did let up and started to go down.

today . ...totally amazed .. . .White Chicken Chili w/ ZERO forbidden ingredients!!!!!

SWEET!!!!! Don't you love it when that happens, finding a recipe that has all safe ingredients in it?!?! :D

But, Susie does have a point about the aftermath of White Chicken Chili, beware of the gas bomb bloat :lol:

Is it weird of me to give the figurine to her? I know it's worth sort of a lot so maybe that makes it kinda weird. I don't want to make her feel awkward or anything. I would give it to her in private, not in front of all of the party people. I keep going back and forth. Would it feel strange to you if someone gave you a gift like this given the situation? :unsure: I'm so scared that it's going to come across as creepy.

So I am a little late in weighing in on this, but I agree with everyone else. I think it's a lovely gesture, very meaningful and from the heart, and not weird or creepy at all.

Popping in to tell you all that I spent the day at one of the least likely places a Celiac would go to.

An all day beer fest!

YAY Laura, glad you had a fun day!!!! Quite the brave celiac :lol::lol:

I saw the most heinous, vile display this morning on the Today Show.....a woman was standing in the crowd, holding a little dog in her arms, partially covered with a blanket. She was telling the host how the poor dog has only one eye, is missing a leg and has skin cancer. She went on to say that the vets have given him about 9 months. :(

Here's the part that made me turn off the TV in disgust.....this woman is carting this poor creature around, entering him in The Ugliest Dog in America contest. <_<<_<<_<

This is just heinous and in such poor taste. I see by the link Emily posted he won :o

Got home late Friday and by Saturday afternoon my arm was in flames and had to have PICC line immediately removed. It was a relief as I was ready to do it myself. Arm was so itchy and yucky. It's much better today but I expect after all this excitement, I will sleep for days.

Hi Bev!!!!! Been wondering where you've been. I'm so sorry about the picc line :(

((((HUGS)))) , hope you get some rest!

more later. Movie time coming up, sitting on our respective couches in the cool, darkened room. Going to make Kissey barbecue tonight, I am not lifting a finger. :)

Movie Time!!!!!!!!

What ya watching tonight??

Llama Lady, is that you?? I am confoozled about Terri Hatcher :blink:

Emily, so sorry about Sophie getting car sick , I hope she is feeling better :) What are you and jack going to do while holding down the fort?? :lol: Finding other uses for hockey pads I suppose is on the list. I am thinking you can put them on as elbow pads and in your next marathon take out the competition?? :huh:

Yes, Laura's "DD" stumped me for a few minutes as well, but then I got it. We could just add a "cicle" to it because that is alwyas funny, am I right Sarah?? :lol:

Patti, Design Star is on tonight!!

Tis a great time at the driving range....then we went to Chili's....and I believe we were sickened by food there, 4 of us out of 6 are stomach ill with the "D" and vomiting and such. For me it feel much different and much worse than when glutened....I feel terrible!

The worst part was it hit while I was in Wegmans buying my groceries...I could not get out of there fast enough....It was a close call...

So now Landen is in his walker, I feel a little better just made dinner and I am going to take it easy....

Patti, Design Star is on tonight!!

OMGawd! It's on in a half hour :o Thanks for reminding me--it's been such a busy day, I lost track of the time :P

Feel better Amanda :)

Mtndog Collaborator

Amanda- POOPY COW!!!! You and Nikki are both down with an evil bug- hope you both feel better soon......

it looks as though I must go back- Julie is going to AZ, Sophia got sick and Alex is deciding on a gift.....

Don't have regret, you might make just as much progress on orals as you did IV. :)

Thanks Carla, I needed that :):wub: :wub:

:lol: Pseuzee .. .I had no idea at first on the DD, but cup size??? :lol: THAT never came to mind.

Did I hear right that it was up to 110 in Phrez???? :ph34r:

WHAT? Laura had DD cups for a day? :lol: :lol:

You can do that just for a day?? Do they look real? Or do you have to be not drinking beer at the time? Or with people who ARE drinking beer?

Bev! I'm so sorry about this horrid picc line nightmare for you. But we must listen to Carla....she knows her stuff, and you will likely improve in leaps and bounds on the abx. :):) Now, you've just gotten back from NYC....any chance you can flit over to Philly to meet us the afternoon of July10th? Please say you can! How awesome that would be........

Julie... ..I cannot begin to imagine the fear that must encompass you when a throat angiedema flares up. How horrific.....thank goodness you're okay. :)

Amanda! You and Sophie, the barfers.....hope this passes quickly! Sophie is fine now. She and her buddies are on my brother's computer, mapping out their plan of attack once they scale the walls of the Grand Eaton Centre. Three fifteen-year old girls skipping down Yonge street - -ah, to be young again! :wub:

Yes, now........who IS that gorgeous Aussie woman? Is it our Llama lady? If I did not know better, I'd suspect that it is our Susie - - ya know, dingos = Australia, jewellery-making.....Susie! Is it YOU??

~alex~ Explorer
This is SO nice, Alex! :)

Man, I guess I should be treating my dad more like this....putting him beside the fireplace, cooking really healthy meals for him, letting the neighboUrs in to visit more.... :rolleyes:

...After all, he is about 15 in dog years.......

:lol: Making sure his favoUrite toys are near his bed is another good thing we found! Also hip massages and tummy scratches if you can manage that. And don't forget the frequent kisses on the snout! :lol:

Ryan and I went looking around some used car lots today. We have one safe newer car and one beat up '89 Toyota Corolla. So we have decided to start looking for another car to replace the '89. If money were no object we'd probably go for one of the 2004 Toyota Echos we saw but used Toyotas are just so dang expensive compared to other cars. (edit: actually if money was no object we'd be heading down to the Lexus dealership!). So it will most likely be an American car -- we saw some well priced Ford Focus Sedans (we're not hatchback people). When I told my dad about which cars we were thinking about he immediately went online to start looking up their safety reports! It's such a dad thing to do! :P

Janet.............My wildlife ecologist son called this evening, so I asked him about your frog dilemma. This is what he said........

Most likely your frogs are not wandering off. They probably have been falling prey to herons, raccoons, dogs, cats, etc. It would be a good idea to plant some tall grasses along the pond to give them some protection. It is also possible that the water quality is not favorable, especially if there is no circulation. If that's the case, adding water plants will improve the quality of the water.

Mornin, Sillies!

Do NOT see Amanda OR Nikki on, yet......it's rare that I find myself alone in the early morning. Feels.......lonely.. . ..rather like I am talking to myself, which I do regularly throughout my day as it is..... <_<:rolleyes:

Hmmm.... . .tumbleweeds are just too complex visually to represent wif these characters.

How about. .. . .

Morning Everyone.

Finally feeling a little better today,. thank goodness since I am at work! Landen had another good night, I think his first tooth is almost completely in. He will not let either of us look at it but when he laughs a certain way we can see it.

I guess thats all for now.

4 days until FL!!!! I am getting a bit nervous now!

That is such a "dad" thing :D Whenever I mention we are in the market for something like an appliance, my dad goes into his library of Consumer Reports. I once called him from Lowes when we were comparing washer/dryers :P

Sillies---did you all see George Carlin died? It says of Heart Failure....

I had not seen this--I just woke up. Sad news :( --Mark and I saw George live in the late 70's. I always loved his observations on everything.

Hello Everyone!!! Today's the big day!! Zoning Board meets tonight. All weekend has been spent getting ready for tonight's presentation (I'm mostly moral support and proofreader). Hubby is going to the Zoning Board and I'm headed to the School Board meeting!!! Lot's of fun tonight !!!zzzZZZ!!!

Can't be bothered with the quoting, I'm too far behind . . . I've read everything, just late on comments.

To the Barfers . . . STOP!! . . . Oh Wait, I think you have . . . GOOD!!!

Julie . . . OMG!!! On the throat swelling thing!!! Glad that seems to be behind you. I'm going to go google so I can understand what that is.

Alex . . . What a lovely gesture . . . I would be cryin' my eyes out . . . as either the giver OR the receiver.

Bev . . . I'm sure it feels good to have the pic line out. My fingers are crossed that the oral meds kick some lymie a$$.

Nikki . . . :lol::lol: . . . nice job taking a phrase out of context!!!

Lisa . . . yes, I've started wondering about the raccoons myself. I'm sure it's not cats or dogs. Could be a heron. In the five years we've been here, we've seen one twice, so how many times did he come when we didn't see him. The other frogs we had were leopard frogs and tended to come out more at night. Now we have a bull frog and she (I looked it up and figured out it was a she) seems to be out during the day and hidden away at night. Water quality should be OK, we have goldfish too (with no problems),and there is a small waterfall, too. Lots of nooks and crannies in the surrounding rock to hide in, some lillypads and reeds in the water and some perennials planted around the outside (some tall, some not). Also the deck overlooks the pond so there is access to the underneath of the deck (probably where the raccoon is hanging out though). I have seen raccoon paw prints on our deck. The kids have named the frog Ripples. We have been digging up worms and tossing them onto lillypads and then she goes and gets them. It's been a lot of fun for the kids. She doesn't duck away as soon as we walk up which is nice (might not be good for her though, huh).

And to all the other sillies . . . howdy.

I did see that. Tragic, for sure...he was VERY phunnie.

Janet--Good luck tonight! Hope it all goes smoothly. :)

My pond sounds a lot like yours :D I'd say either one should be a frog's delight :P Our little one is still hanging around--although we live out in the country and there are plenty of critters around.

Nik--glad yer appetite is back! Whinge--I love that! Much phunnier to say than whine ;) I'm adopting it from now on.

Hi Ryan--yes, tis sad about G. Carlin.....he was phunny for sure.

Gawd Amanda, and with you still feeling under the weather :( Hope it won't be too taxing for you today.

Janet!! I want yer pond! It sounds like a bit of heaven. :)

Speaking of backyards and water, I think we're going to go ahead and have a hot tub put in....rather $$$, but DH and I are now entrenched in our forties, with muscles and tendons that just don't shake off long runs like they used to. So, I'm justifying this as a health expense. Think it's out of our budget right now, but hopefully by winter.....

Gad. I guess I have to hope that there are NO frogs in our yard - - a rather heinous death for one of these little cold-blooded creatures, hopping into 100 degree water... . .. :o

      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
