Good morning, Sillies!

Lisa! This sounds like an amazing rendezvous! Thank you so much for this generous invitation. October, eh?.......have to check this out.........

Out of Body Experience?....Wow. I could use me one 'o those...... :rolleyes:

I think I might be malnourished, part of the problem. :unsure:

I think you may be, as well, Susie.... . .. .Lack of nutrition can do unbelievably negative things to our thoughts and mood. Eat, girl, eat! I know..... much more easily said than done, when there is a big ball of grief sitting in there - - feels like there just isn't any room..... .

I know you will get back to proper eating, as you heal! :)

Lisa,

Sounds great! I don't know if we'll be able to make it--planning on visiting family this fall, having a little work done on the house in late September/early October--so probably not. Thanks for the invite, though....it sounds like a lot of fun.

If anything changes, I'll let you know. Even if the houses are full, we could stay at the hotel, should things work out :)

Good Saturday morning, Sillies!!! :D

Ahhhh--got me some sleep last night :rolleyes: Hope we hear somephin from Gian-knit today or tomorrow.

Morning

Well Em and Patti are up.

I'm just getting moving.

Hope Janet checks in soon.

Are you still 'hanging alone' this weekend?

It's seems so chilly yet muggy here in Media.

Hugs all

Perhaps by October our staffing issues will have sorted out. We have two people in training, but at the moment at least one of us must be in the store at all times. We are training two people at the moment, so there is hope.

WOW Peter! I am so excited that there is hope.

Lisa - strong? :( I don't know about that.

when you realize that.......your dream is gone..........the person you THOUGHT you had is not only instantly yanked from your life under inconceivable circumstances but - turns into someone else (that's all I"ll say here)....the one from whom you were inseparable - gone......the love, fun, "security," perceived life together.........all gone.......... it's still gonna take me quite a bit of time to get over this one.

That's what strength is, cutie-pie. Being fully aware of how bad your life sucks at the moment, and still being willing to deal with it. Not all at once, of course, that's just not possible, but one by one you pull out the horrible strands, examine them, understand them and realize that these new, ugly flaws woven into your life are actually what make you strong and interesting. The superficial beauty of innocence doesn't last. It's those who have chosen to continuously remake their lives that have true beauty of soul.

I understand that Soozle needs a job. I'm sure she could learn Canadian without too much trouble, and she'd be that much closer to Em's bro...

Hey Sillies!! All is well. Surgery went smoothly and ended up a pretty quick process once I got past "admissions". Was home by lunch time. Had four people trying to wait on me hand and knee foot. Very little pain . . . mostly just dealing with swelling. I passed on the vicoden and asked for tylenol 3 instead (cause I know I don't have a problem with it) and am very happy with my decision. The tylenol 3 cost me about $6 . . . have know idea what the vicoden would have cost . . .I've got a 25/35/45 dollar insurance copay on the expensive drugs and I'm betting it's an expensive drug.

Can't stay on, I'm suppose to be lying down (for the swelling). Haven't got meself rigged up with the laptop yet.

Congrats on an awesome victory, Sarah!!

Congrats on your Welbutrin epiphany, Susie!!

I'm sleeping on the main floor of the house so I don't have to go up/down the stairs. Last night my son said if I needed anything, just to come and get him, no matter what time, he wouldn't mind. I told him I would just yell real loud. :lol::lol:

Actually it's not too bad, thank goodness. :lol:

Thanks for the congrats! Take your medicine, and totally take advantage of the down-time!!! In fact, get a little bell to call for room service. That would be so cool. :lol:

I just think that amazing people sometimes forget that they are amazing, and need reminding. If you read my other posts you'll discover that I think that 90% of the population can just sniffle themselves into a gluten filled pool of misery for all I care - but some people (highly over-represented on this thread) are far too important to me, and for them, and only them, I will willingly offer a small piece of my soul for them rest on while they are repairing their own.

OK. Soft squishy Jess gone.

Raving hand-waving hair-pulling screaming Jess here.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

Those ignorant annoying self righteous 'you shouldn't do this because I think it's wrong' anti-medicine anti-pharmaceutical blathering idiots who dose themselves with hundreds of dollars worth of untested unproven ground up plants because some minimally educated, yet also anti-pharmaceutical, leech has convinced them that they should should not be allowed to post anything health related.

fine.

thanks for listening.

going over to Sarah's house now to pout with her in the corner, since she just went through this.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
