Just pooping in real quick... I am so tired... don't know why, just TIRED...

(((HUGS))) to Susie... I know what you're going through. :(

Loooooved Judy Blume, and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.

I think my poopathon a couple days ago was a Micky D's glutening. <_<

Brian is on vacation all this week, so it's nice having him around... since he's not around much otherwise...

I just realized that with all the chaos of illnesses and medications and everything else, I totally forgot to sign Ezra up for kindergarten. :o Furthermore, we may have missed open house. :( What a space cadet... <_<

Edited to Add... I also meant to :lol: :lol: :lol: at the Kenyan pushups!

Good afternoon- Looks like I missed some beautiful moments and Jess-isms. You guys are the best! :wub: :wub:

I just think that amazing people sometimes forget that they are amazing, and need reminding.

Ditto to you Miss Glittery Eyes (gorgeousssssss!!!!!!!!!)

All right. Jess, you have been Silly-Instructed NOT to scream with such ferocity (font size 8, er sumphin'), as it completely strrrrrretchesssss all of our screens, and there must be constant, exhausting scrolling back and forth. Well, Ptaoughmghmn!

Had a lovely dinner with my parents, and it is true....I am SO unbelievably blessed to still have them both here, both in their eighties, and both mentally sharper than anyone around....sharper than ME, fer sure.....

My dad is fading physically, however. :(:( Parkinson's.

I thought my screen had stretch marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents growing old :( It's hard. My dad is 78 and last night I just thought "Gawd, when I lose him :( " His cat's been sick and to him, it's the last symbol of my mom in his place. He has been heartbroken (she is doing better though) and it breaks my heart too. Sigh.

Pt 2

Oh Emmy, honey, if love could only make our wishes happen. Your dad's body is only here to hold his gift to the world. It's only the wrapping paper that's getting tattered; the amazing being that is your father is still, and will always, be here. Not only has he given joy and laughter to untold numbers of his fans, he's given us you. And you have given us Jack. The world is a better place because of him.

And you.

See- Jess- :wub: :wub:

JUDY

TEE HEE- apparently someone posted info (spam-a-lot) on a rehab center near where we stayed in Maine. :ph34r: y'all know I've been such a partier lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well said! I was attempting to come out of hiding when I happened upon (okay . . . willing looked against my better judgment) the thread which I believe caused your page stretching scream and I think I am outta here again. What's the point of contending with people who believe they are so smart that they somehow understand how a DEAD virus could make them sick. Somebody get these people a scholarship to MIT. <_< I'm sure the experts in virology could use some help in coming up with an HIV vaccine. Oh that's right . . . vaccines are much more dangerous than any of the illnesses they protect against . . . how could I forget.

YES- WE Need to know what this is all about (although I have my suspicions <_< <_< )

SUZEEEE- I hope you're feeling better. COLD TURKEY??????? PLEASE be careful- Wellb. is not a cold turkey drug- uhm.....scared cuz cold turkey Wellb. can result in seizures. Really. :( :(

Won't be long and the leaves will be changing colors and phallen!

I REALLY need my mom to stick around for a while! :( (oh, Dad died of colon cancer at 56 - CELIAC ALSO)

Julie - oh dear! it's pure panic here if air conditioner goes out.....but what is phunny is that, the second I read of fluids coming out of it, I immediately looked at yer post count :lol:

Bev - PICC line? :( let's hope this is NOT true.

BUT OMG - you're right - - I felt soooooooo sick yesterday - actually did read about seizure possibility and took half a pill in early evening......slightly better today. Felt like my brain was exploding yesterday, was short of breath, kept blacking out when standing up...... :unsure:

OK- you guys will get a GOOD LAUGH out of this:

Hear I am half crying/half laughing (thanks to Jess) and I go to let Angus in. He is CLEARLY occupied playing with some poor animal (I'm thinking bee and don't want him to get stung).

So I call him, he won't come. I go out barefoot cause I'm waiting for the yelp and as I get closer I realize it's something bigger (no- not the Montauk Monster).

Start walking faster (BAREFOOT) and SQUISH. Dog poop. And he's playing with this poor, defenseless, no-eyed baby mole so do I grab him and go in? NOOOO. Must save the mole first (GEEZUS- I must be a farking Buddhist).

Just finished wiping, washing and sanitizing the feet. Mole in better shape than me :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Uncle Ray is in da house!!!!!

Thoughts on Retirement:

I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?'

I say, 'Well, I don't have much of a chemical background but one of the things I enjoy the most is turning wine into urine!'

Uncle Ray's Home Remedies:

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

      @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
