AH!!....a fellow avid gardener :D

Judy!...we'll have to swap some garden pics in an email......

Talking of Iris...I have a load of 'flag iris' in my garden in a prime spot --- I wanted to put something else there but couldn't bare to throw 'em as my Mum gave them to me AND she got them from my late Grandad's garden

GADS they must be about 50 yrs old...plenty of life in 'em

So, Grandad's Iris' are now at the bottom of the garden :D

...should've been doing the evil heinous IRONING...but b@#$%$#%!!..it's too nice out B)

Oh! What a tremendous dentist I have. I have been going to him for....35 years. I called his office last night, leaving a message about my tooth and that I would be calling to get in early this morning. Well, good ol' Patti, his secretary, called me at 7:50 am and said, "Can you be here in half an hour?" You bet.

So, some drilling, some amalgam replacement.....

135 bucks.

Missed my step class, so took the dogs out for a run in the rain. Yes, it is now pouring here, and we had roofers beginning to replace our shingles at 7 am. They got the front done, then had to stop and pack up. :angry:

Soooooooooo....the job is half-done. I do hope to see them bright and early tomorrow.

And I asked - - they do NOT have ballcocks. Perhaps other roofers do, but not any of these guys. <_<:lol:

Candied lamb cartilege.................should have told my dentist that this was what caused that piece coming off my tooth - - had an Elton cone last evening, and there were some surprise bits that required some real gnawing........ :lol:

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

I think the canuck lost.

Yep, he lost. :(

Ptaoughmghmn wontdroolforgruel! :lol::lol:

Shoulda checked me email first! :lol:

Hey! I wanna see some tattooed grandmas!!

...should've been doing the evil heinous IRONING...but b@#$%$#%!!..it's too nice out B)

Nickerler!! What have we discussed about this ridiculous, heinous, waste-of-precious-energy chore?! Wear yer stuff wrinkled! It is so much more interesting to look at, a wrinkled piece of fabric........well, all right, it's much more interesting to draw.........more light and shadow, line and sweep.....

Same wif skin, but I certainly do NOT try to wrinkle mine up for interest's sake..... :lol:

Have a great swim, Judy!

Amanda's struggling through work......thinking about you. Get this slippery elm gruel on the stove!

My whole Esophogus problems stemmed from the ravaging bronch. infection. I never had gerd issues beforew at all....The Z-pac will calm it down. Scary huh?

Not just for reflux, it helps sore throats as well.

I see the lozenges are gluten-free too! I just like the gruel because it's like sipping hot tea.

Love yer avatar, gorgeous ladies!! Glad you are feeling a little better today :)

Julie? :o Gruel???? :blink: :wontdroolforgruelface:

:lol: Tom

I kid you not, that's what it be called!

Candied Lamb Cartilage :blink: That sounds really appetizing......

After the 24hr shutdown (operation Investigate Silly Phorum) I was FURTHER plunged into a phorumless abyss due to loss of internet connection!!!!!!!! :(:angry:

MY Gaaaawd ....as if I haven't suffered enough already!!!!

BTW .....Bev's right....I also got gas with the shakes :huh: ........Tel was going to escort me to an internet cafe...... :lol:

:o The horror! I would go nutso for sure!

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though <_< Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease. :huh:

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie! :D

I'm dealing with elevated liver enzymes too Patti <_< They are a pain in the behind!

I'm glad they didn't find anything to be alarmed about. I'm thinking they will just wait and retest in a few months??

Yes, my Edna is going well!! You were quite the inspiration when I was getting started :)

Well woke up the a beauuuuuuuuuuuuutifullllllllllllllllll cool sunny morning. :lol:

Omg! My MIL just passed on a tantalizing bit of info... One of her coworkers is Celiac, so we often trade tips and stuff. APPARENTLY there is a new Italian restaurant in Winston Salem that has a gluten-free menu- including rice pasta! :o Must get more info... all my MIL could remember is what road it's on- and there are literally probably a hundred little restaurants on that road.

This would be awesome (I can't truly believe it till I check it out) as all we have had before is an Outback (not even open for lunch) in Winston, and a PF Changs in Greensboro. We haven't even been to those two... they're kind of on the high end for our "typical" eating-out budget. Well... Brian and I used to go to Outback before we had kids. :P

I have no idea if this new place is high end or not... will report back when I check it out. :lol:

Heh... If a plant dies on me, I label it "one of those hard to grow types," and I try something else. :P So I have a jillion different irises and day lilies- they thrive so well here, they're actually very hard to kill if you want to get rid of them. Same thing with my gladiolas. For annuals, I love petunias... so satisfying, colorful, and they get huge over a summer. I actually had some come back this year from the ones I planted last year.

Although speaking of plants not acting right <_< I don't know what's going on with the dianthus I planted last year. They flowered gorgeously last year. This year, all the green growth is near the bottom, and everything at the top looks dead... and very few blooms. I guess I need to cut it back..?

I keep trying to get some pretty ground cover started in a few areas, and I'm having a hard time with that. My dirt is appalling. Hard, dry red clay, full of rocks. <_<

OK, I realize about half of you are gonna slap me for this whine, but...

This stupid frickin' Edna.

When I went gluten-free I lost a bunch of weight and had to get new clothes. Then, 6 week vacation, more weight, again new clothes. Now this stupid no-tasty-foods Edna - even my smallest pants are loose.

I know, I know, some part of me is happy that I'm healthier and all that crap, but this continual shopping thing just sucks.

Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest (I gotta get new bras for crimini's sake! Do you know how expensive those things are?!)

Back to work all.

I sort of assumed that. Most pain pills don't encourage eating.

I suppose on the upside I can force my friends to have another girls shopping trip. That was quite a bit of fun.

Not very often, but our winters are so mild, that sometimes they do. I have one single teeny little purple petunia growing bravely out front... but a bunch of them came back in one of my window boxes on the back deck! I was amazed. I had put four colors in that box last summer, and all four came back this year. This particular window box is one of those that has the water-it-from-the-bottom wells underneath. I think that's what did it. Every time it rained, it caught the water and kept the soil damp during the dry spells.

I've never got on with these (of course we've got completely different climes :rolleyes: )..but mine ended up looking 'messy'

Yeah, my dianthus look very messy right now. <_< And there's not even any blooms to make up for it.

Composted manure is the best!!! I use it in my beds, too... horses everywhere around here. (<giggle> That does sound funny.) Rehabililtating the soil in the bare areas on our land would be a huge job... sigh. I keep thinking if I can just get SOMETHING to grow in these wasteland areas, anything at all, that would help prevent erosion, which would be a step in the right direction.

I've also considered borrowing some horses and just letting them poop all over those areas. :lol: That would have to do something eventually!

Ooh--I love all this garden talk (furiously taking notes here :lol: )

I have a couple plants that I stick with--the ones I can't kill. ;) I'm in the process of putting in a perinneal garden--trying to anyway.....any thoughts on varieties that grow well in full sun?

I was considering a muumuu and a wide brimmed hat for such purposes, but was thrust back to reality to me jeans and t-shirts B)

      @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.

      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
