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.

Jestgar Rising Star
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...

Absolutely! We could set things up so that Brett goes into PeOter's shop to pick up some kitty litter for his two cats, and Susie's just started her first shift.........and the rest could be history.... :D

So VERY well said, Jess! :wub:

Susie, I've decided Jess is our resident Yoda. These nuggets of wisdom are priceless.

OMG, Jess!!! There's a poster over in my Make Your Voice Heard thread, asking if Princess Chunk is your cat and is he missing, because she saw him on the news!!! :o

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:

Jan-it is back!! :D Glad everything went so well--now go and lay down! ;):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.

Wow.

You're pretty special to us too, Jess ;)

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.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
