Good Day me friends!! Amanda- Safe flying in the friendly skies! Susie- Carmel- sigh.....have a lurvely time 9so so so jealous!)

I used to say I had eyes in the back of my head :P

Tee hee...when I taught middle school my kids KNEW I had ears in the back of my head too!

Perhaps Jack thought that a woman's cleavage is called "Jesus" because on one (or several) occasions he's been out with his dad and upon passing a buxom woman with lots of boob showing, DH has stared and muttered, "jeeeeee-sussss....."....... :lol:

That was my FIRST thought :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: How about "Holy Jesus, looks at those BOODHAS?" for the Buddhists among us.

Souczie---By all means, keep it!! :D You are fabulous, and they may as well know that up front.

Plus, it'll get their attention ;)

I agree- how about Phanphu*&ckingtastic Job Seeker? :P

Yeah, but we're your wackls :D

Yes- we ALL are in this lunacy together :ph34r:

Dude... I just had a little bit of a rant in the "My kids are going to kill each other" thread. :rolleyes: A couple people seemed like they were blaming bad behavior on TV. I couldn't stand for that. I hate it when people blame everything on TV, I think it's bull.

Nicely done. Those two people actually managed to imply that if that mother were more religious, she wouldn't be allowing her kids to watch tv. Gads. Church is not the answer to good kids; being a parent is.

I try to avoid answering when threads tick me off -I don't think I could be very objective.

The only thing TV can be blamed for is making kids fat ... of course, even that goes back to the parents letting them sit there all day. :)

Exactly! That was just a bit too self-righteous for me. Maybe it wasn't deliberate, but I couldn't sit by for that. Thanks for backing me up over there. :D

Absolutely! It all goes back to the parenting. Cutting TV out completely makes the child miss out on all the wonderful stories and fun ways of learning that TV and video can offer. And it's the lazy way out. It's a lot less work to just say, "No TV in this house," than to actually monitor, participate, and control what your child watches.

I've been pondering getting the Fairy Tale Theatre DVD set for my boys. It's not cheap, but that was a wonderful show. I have great memories of watching that show when I was a kid.

Speaking of which, Sarah, I meant to say before that I hope you're doing OK- withdrawal S-U-C-K-S!!!!! Did any of those links I give you help?

They say a good way to get stuff out of your system is orange juice (if you can tolerate it). They recommend it when you're quitting smoking to get the nicotine out of your system. If you can't tolerate oj, they say sip lemon juice through a straw. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yes, well done Sarah! I hope I can learn to be as patient and to speak (type) as kindly as you did in that thread. That kind of self righteous BS those posters were spewing makes me feel quite ill. I don't think I would be able to type a response without calling them stupid-heads! The whole "I'm a better mommy than you are because I don't let my kids watch tv or doing anything else!" attitude makes me sick. I realize that I have no real knowledge or experience with respect to raising children but in University the kids whose parents sheltered them from everything were the ones most likely to skip all their classes because they finally had some freedom and more seriously were smoking lots of dope and being carted to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. If you're raised to think everything (including TV) is bad and then you go away to school and realize that your parents happened to be wrong and that gee television isn't the devil, then you might start wondering if they were really right about drugs and excess alcohol and unprotected sex being bad as well. Too many rules make the important ones fade into the background (in my humble, inexperienced opinion).

Yikes :unsure: Sorry for that unexpected rant. I hope I didn't offend anyone. I'm a little stressed I guess! :wacko: Tomorrow is the party for the lady I'm giving the royal doulton to. I've been working on a note I want to include with the present in case I can't get out what I want to say to her. But so far everything sounds corny or feels too raw and revealing to put or just doesn't sound right! :( It shouldn't be so difficult to put what you feel into words!

Wow....gotta get over there and READ some of that...... <_<

Sarah, heading onto a thread and attempting some sage, worthwhile advice while suffering the emotional roller-coaster of Effexor withdrawal is MUCH more respectable than leaping into a desperate conversation, sympathetic, supportive guns blazing when hot-tubbed and champagned quite smartly..... :rolleyes::lol:

Alex, for someone who hasn't experienced parenthood yet, you make a whole lotta sense!

And remember, it's not always what the parents say.....it's how they conduct themselves and handle life's ups and downs on a daily basis. Kids are little sponges--they take everything in and can spot a hypocrite a mile away. The people they become has a lot to do with what they see.

My kids watched TV--not constantly, and I watched along with them. Didn't do them a bit of harm.

We didn't have lots of rules--didn't need them. Mark and I decided early on that we would "pick our battles". I also didn't micro-manage every moment.....my kids played outside with neighborhood friends as well as doing homework and playing organized sports. I always knew where they were and who they were with--

The best thing I ever did was to stop listening to all this holier-than-thou crapola and go with my gut when it came to my kids.

Yep, sums me up with my approach.....and oh-ma-gahhhh.....yes!! .;pick your battles!!!!.........dear GAWD ...I am clearly a bohemian parent :lol:

But seriously - Sarah did well in what she said (eloquently ;) )

There are alot of threads I wouldn't dream of answering...'cos I can nae contain my disgust at the hypocrisy

I always thought it was a cultural difference.....religion is BIG business in the states...and it seems to creep into this board allthe time.

Religion never seems to come into it on the UK coeliac board :blink: ...but I don't think we Brits are (as a nation) as strongly religous as US folks.

I don't go to church - my kids are not christened ..AND they watch TV....but it doesn't mean we don't have values/morals or that they are not polite and kind.

GADS - i would never judge a person for having a strong faith - so why is it ok the other way round??? :rolleyes:

Off me soapbox now - oh I missed many pages --where's Ptaghmn??? :unsure: ...and I missed Souczles ...off to cooler climes :D

Carry on peeps :D

Well, Nik, they are still young. Plenty of time left for them to turn and expose you as a slacker mom ;)

I watched tons of tv, and only went to church when forced to, and I've managed to subvert my destructive, argumentative tendencies, but then, my mom and dad taught me what was proper, not the television.

      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 +

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.

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
