... 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!

That's what made me think it has to be something else.

That's great about your appetite! I haven't found anything yet that could diminish mine--even when I was at my sickest, I could always eat. <_<

I was meaning to ask how the low-salt Edna was going--yeah, after a few days you kinda get used to it. I actually didn't realize how much I was using until I stopped.

2 pm here, can't seem to think about much else today......

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?

Sarah, I recently had an MRT allergy type test done and rice is one of my NO NO foods <_<

I can't do sorghum but all the lovely people up in the baking section, including Patti, helped me figure out some alternatives to bake with. I can do a blend of potato starch/flour and tapioca starch flour and then add in quinoa, corn, coconut, or buckwheat flours. I'll have to do some experimenting.

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.

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. 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...

Glad to hear you had a GREAT day Sarah!

Sorry about the rash :( Patti had a good point about the drug withdrawal. You know rashes and hives are very hard to pinpoint the source. Stress is also a big trigger as they are nerve related so that is something to consider with all the stress you have had.

No make=up talk, not even when it makes me look gothic lol, or when it makes my skin go black lol.

That is unless one of us from the mad make-up cult should happen to be crowned Queen, then there might be a royal declaration lifting the ban on make-up talk :lol:

But I thought chocolate was already out?

Yes, chocolate is out :(

But Momma Goose and I have sort of been unofficial spokespersons (spokespeople?) for the very delicious Pamela's Baking Mixes, our favorite being the Chocolate Cake, all of them made with rice flour unfortunately, and then the chocolate in the chocolate varieties.....:(

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

Don't worry Nikki, I will come up with some other sinfully good treats, Edna definitely won't approve :lol:

I'm fixing to make some kind of apple crisp for tomorrow, and a coconut cake for me b-day....or maybe homemade strawberry ice cream.......lots of possibilities without chocolate.

But I will miss chocolate cake :(

....OMG....and I have a new addition to the family....

The other 2 cats look like this---------> :angry:

:lol:

How exciting! Looking forward to seeing a picture of young Boris

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.

Congrats Sarah! Glad your no-salt Edna is working :)

Patti and Jess how are your Edna's coming along??

'Tis very subdued here today.

I think we must all be in Oakley, CA, where it is now coming up on 2 pm.

Hoping Susie and David are holding up.

Patti and Jess how are your Edna's coming along??

My Edna is doing well. I had some fruit today and started coughing because of how sweet it was :huh:

Body doesn't hurt, psoriasis going away, lost a few pounds. I think Edna's are easier to stick to if screwing up is painful (or, y'know, causes you to wake up with maple syrup in your hair).

(wailing) Nooooooooooo! I'm itchy as hell! I don't know where this has come from.

I want to give real hugs, not just typed ones.

Sarah . . . you're covered with a hanus itchy rash and you want to give REAL hugs??!!?? Ummmmm, :unsure: I'll wait just a tad for mine.

OK!!! I'm back . . . and I'm exhausted. I've read and caught up but feel too late to comment on much.

Happy, safe trips to all our travelors. Lisa Goose - WooHoo on the 5K!! JooLee - Dagnabit on the rice - but I am a fellow Pamela's fanatic. Nikki . . . -> :P <- . . . congrats on your new addition. PawLuh - welcome.

More Later . . . need to go in search of an alcoholic beverage.

OH - Made gluten-free fried chicken for my folks. Didn't tell my dad as he would then refuse it on principle (I'm sure you guys know the type). He ate three pieces (and still doesn't know).

Feels so helpless, wishing there were something I could do.

I did find I'm ~ an hour & 17min from there.

That's quite a trade off :) Makes it easier to stick with when the alternative is feeling so bad.

OK!!! I'm back

Welcome back Janet!

Now that you admitted you are also a Pamela's fanatic you will be required to eat double servings everytime you have Pamela's, one for you and one for me :lol:

That's funny about your dad not knowing, most people if you don't tell them they will never know. Not sure why gluten-free gets such a bad wrap <_<

Now go knock back a few and relax a little!

Hehe Darn good point!

Some bad news to report, I no longer can partake in eating our beloved Pamela's products

Aw Julie, I know how much you fancy your Pamela's cookies :( Remember when we all put our favorite snacks in our avs? :P

Between MG and Patti, I think the board would cease to exist without the two of them.

You belong on that list too, Laura my dear! Not to get corny, but I get so much more than I could ever give here on the board :D

Hey!!!!!!

Well look who pooped in! :D

....OMG....and I have a new addition to the family....

He's furry, 12 weeks old, ginger and white, purrs and is called Boris :D

<read mad cat lady strikes again :ph34r: >

I wanna see a picture of wee Boris!

Patti and Jess how are your Edna's coming along??

Pretty good--for the first month, I was very strict with it...I'm having sweets (dark chocolate) more often now but still no grains at all and very low sodium.

Body doesn't hurt, psoriasis going away, lost a few pounds. I think Edna's are easier to stick to if screwing up is painful (or, y'know, causes you to wake up with maple syrup in your hair).

This is great, Jess! :)

Well, I'm not so sure if this is a typo. If you take a rooster and roast it to perfection in a slow cooker, wouldn't it in fact be a cock pot? Click here to see a picture of a large cock. :ph34r:

:lol: Can't blame ya there, but I don't think it's catching. It does seem to be spreading like crazy on ME, though. :blink: Btw, I want your recipe for fried chicken!

Been laughing my butt off about the Cockpot Potatoes!

Went to Whole Paycheck, I mean Whole Foods tonight, in search of hotdog buns. They were sold out of course. Now I'm contemplating whether I should go back and try again in the morning or not... Ugh. It's an hour drive one way, and they may still be out. I think the boys are going to have to do without. I can make hamburger buns, but they're just doing hotdogs at tomorrow's party. Haven't mastered that shape of bun yet. <_<

Brian got lost in the wine section, and the boys were starving, sooo... I ended up checking out at sixty bucks anyway. :angry: I have a love/hate relationship with that store. More hate than love tonight. :rolleyes:

Oh... mah... gah... Can't sleep... Too itchy... :wacko: Tomorrow's gonna be interesting, I can tell... -_-

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
