Hi Tom, you avatar is very colorful :D

That it is!!!!!

Chihuly is one amazing glassblower. The av is of dozens of pieces set on a false clear glass (of the functional non-artistic variety) ceiling.

Exhibits do a whole room this way w/ 100s of pieces. Very cool.

Hi Paula- Welcome- indeed, if you're looking for a place to silly- this is it. Except me-I'm very very very serious. :rolleyes:

Yes!!! This is most encouraging....some real good news and not me trying to inject some levity with stories of packing me arse in shorts or sumphin :lol:

OMGawd Em--you'd better git packin'! Do you realize we're actually gonna MEET in 9 DAYS????? :D

I am jealous of the Psilly Psummit!!!!! But am so happy and cannot wait to hear the stories and see the pics!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could come too but Philly is 6 hours away and I am headed 5 hours in the opposite direction (Vermont). Actually, I think I'll be closer to where Miss Emily and the Ripper live than where they're traveling to!

Bon Voyage, Vaya con Dios and Happy Trails!

Seeing them's one thing......Smelling them's quite another.... . . . . :lol:

Try telling that to guys who would rather wear their boxers inside out the second time than actually do a load of laundry :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

.......hopefully blowing over to my daughter's former mother-in-law's house, with hideous, putrid fluids on my 5,000 post. B) .

Yes- I should certainly hope so!!!!!!!!!! 5000, wow! And nice to see you Goosey!!!!!!!

Signing over and out- hope everyone has a safe, happy 4th of July in the states and just a happy all-around day elsewhere- including the UK where they probably celebrate getting rid of us nutbags!!!!!!!! :P I'll be back on Monday.......

Oh, going to Lake Champlain with the family and shall promptly report any Champ sightings (he is the VT, NY equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster!!!!!!!! Could HE have kidnapped the yeti? I'll look for him too!))

And last but not least, Uncle Ray had to poop in too:

The Back Pew

A pastor's wife was expecting a baby, so he stood before the congregation and

asked for a raise. They passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's expanding salary. A great deal of yelling and inner bickering ensued, as to how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church, and how much more it could potentially cost.

After listening to them for about an hour, the pastor rose from his chair and spoke, "Children are a gift from God, and we will take as many gifts as He gives us.

Oh no, Julieeeeeeee- say it isn't so!!! :( Is this something that's kinda been building, or is it a sudden reaction? Can you do sorghum flour?

I had a really great day today, you guys... actually felt better today than I have in weeks, since I started all this medication hullabaloo. I think stopping the Prozac was a smart move.

The weird thing, though, is I woke up with my right eye all swollen and the lid was red. I took some benedryl, and the swelling slowly went down through the day... I thought it was just a yucky bug bite, but now it looks like a rash. Then this afternoon I noticed that I have a rash on the tops of both feet, and coming about 1/2 up my shins. :huh: Now tonight, it looks like the same thing might be popping up on my forearms. :blink:

NOW what in hell is going on? <_< It's not bothering me if nothing touches it, but if I touch it, it's really itchy. So I'm trying not to touch it. :lol::rolleyes: It's tiny little red bumps... I reckon it must be some type of allergic reaction, I just can't think of what it might be. It looks like a heat rash, but it's not in the right places...

Ok, enough rambling about my rash. :lol: Where else can I go to a group of people and babble about MY RASH. :lol::rolleyes:

Susie, how are you doing. It has been more than a day since we heard from you.

Hi Sillies,

I received a heartfelt and of course so very sad email from our Susie this morning. She is dealing with more than just the loss of David's dear brother and the others. She feels our support and prayers and thoughts and has asked me to forward her email to all of you.

If you feel comfortable in doing so, you can PM me your email addreses and I will forward her email to you. She has also told me that I can give her email address to you, so if you want it, let me know--either way is fine.

It goes without saying that I'm beyond worried about her, at the same time, it's incredibly frustrating that she's clear across the country. I know you guys know how I feel.

Thanks, me Sillies :wub:

Julie!! - surely not?????...no chocolate cake????? :unsure: .....that's just NOT right!!! :angry: (excellent Edna points though :rolleyes: )

(wailing) Nooooooooooo! I'm itchy as hell! I don't know where this has come from. I'm taking Benedryl every 4 hours trying to get rid of it. I haven't eaten anything new, haven't changed soaps, detergents, or anything at all. Brian wondered if it's a withdrawal symptom from the Effexor, and not an allergic reaction. I said I dunno, I haven't read about this being a symptom... it acts like an allergic reaction, I just don't know to what!

I'm so worried about Susie. :( I want to give real hugs, not just typed ones. Guessing it must be about 11 out that way now..?

Other than this stoopid rash, yup, I am definitely feeling better and better! Such a relief to be feeling normal again, after weeks of feeling crappy.

Well, it's almost 2:30 here, so the service must be well underway. I just can't imagine what those poor families and the folks who love them are going through.

We're all there, in spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarah,

The timing of your itching and rash has me thinking about something. I wonder if it really is a withdrawl of sorts from the meds. This is not exactly the same thing, but during and after my surgery last year, I was pumped full of drugs from antibiotics to various painkillers.

Probably about a week later, and lasting for another 2-3 weeks, I broke out and was terribly itchy (at this point, I was on nothing stronger than OTC Tylenol). It was mostly in my midsection and back. I asked the surgeon about it at my 4 week appointment, and he said it sometimes happens as part of the healing process.

Maybe your system is trying to rid itself of what may be stored in your tissue. Just a thought. :)

Now that's interesting... sort of almost like a detoxing reaction. That could be it... At this point it makes the most sense- I haven't come into contact with anything new that I can think of, to be allergic to!

Edited to add-- One other "symptom" that isn't hurting my feelings too much-- my appetite has bottomed out. I think I've lost 4 or 5 pounds in the past week! :rolleyes: Also, the low-salt-bland-tasting-food isn't bothering me as much anymore. So Edna is happy. :lol:

      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...

      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.
