Ha! No problem on the updates :D

Yeah, about this magical power--I musta been behind the door when it was passed out! :P

I was hoping that Peter wouldn't reveal our magical powers. I actually posted that, but edited because there is always someone who jumps up your arsenal.

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

Guys sorry for the delay in posting my organic answer....I am simply pooped from work and I just died on the couch when I got home....

Anyway the reason I asked about the Organic is another member posted in a different thread that It is stupid to not buy organic.....this member always rubs me the wrong way and I just wondered how many people do buy organic....

anyway off to bed night sillies and thanks for always letting me vent :)

There's 4 or 5 members who flat-out irritate the crap out of me. :P I generally do the Jess thing, and don't let myself reply. :rolleyes:

As for eating organic... yeah, like I said... I'm looking for ways to shrink my grocery bill, not inflate it. <_<

AGREED on the irritating people. I had a much longer post bemoaning my annoyance with so many non-Sillyville posts/posters lately but it was kind of crazily rambling and a little too angry I think so I quickly got rid of it.

I'm pretty much the same with everyone else here on the whole organic issue. I occasionally buy organic things but certainly don't go out of my way to do so. Saying that it is stupid to not buy all organic stinks of elitism and blurs what should be a clear line between personal opinion and scientific fact and those are two things that really get on my nerves.

Morning, Sillies!

Well, at 6:45 this morning, I hear loud clomping around and banging on my roof - - yep, the guys are back, there's presently NO rain falling, so off they go again. I quietly went over to my back hedge at 6:00 and interrupted Mr. Chow in full Early Sun Pose. I asked him if he knew any pose that would keep rain away....like the classic aboriginal rain dance. Nope. He GREETS rain, if you can imagine.......what in hell good is that? <_<:rolleyes:

Moi? I don't tell tales out of school. Clearly, veggienft (see the Open Original Shared Link) believes we have far more power than we actually do.

I dunno, PeOter.......there's something so..... . .calmly strong and all-encompassing about you mods.....Patti just RADIATED a silent power when we met. :DB) I really do need a couple of you in my day to day life, to delete regrettable said things, to issue warnings when they are clearly needed, and to report my kids to me when they are sneakily doing heinous things..... <_<:lol:

Glad to see you, Alex! How's married life? (If anything belongs on a Silly thread, it's that). How is Colin?

Organic food......crazy at times. Half the time one isn't positive the produce really IS organic...pesticides from the neighboUring, normal farm can blow over and "infect" the pristine organic crops......and fer all dat money. Organic bananas - - 99 cents a pound! :o

Morning Sillies!

Well I am glad it is not me who also has trouble with some people. I understand everyone is entitled to their own views and opinions but some people around here push their views and that is exactly how my MIL is with religion and such....it is very annoying, so annoying in fact that she lives 5 minutes down the road and I have not seen her since Memorial Day.

Its finally Friday!!!!!! And tonight we are going to the casino...cross your fingers that we win something....LOL! Guess it is time to start some work. Alot of people are out of the office today including the boss, so I may check in more frequently....when the cats away the mice will play!

I agree. It's really, seriously irritating.

Well said!!! I can't stand it when people state their personal opinion as fact. It seriously drives me up the wall. The arrogance... makes me want to barph.

Well, the boys had a friend sleep over last night-- my friend's son who I was telling you guys about. This was the first time they've had a friend sleep over. My boys slept over there one night last month. I have to say, last night wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. :P

They were all in sleeping bags watching movies by 10:30, and konked out by midnight. And they didn't get up at the butt crack of dawn, either. I consider myself lucky. :lol:

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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.

      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.

      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
