Yes......we seem to have earned a magic, much-coveted immunity from punishment o'er here in Sillyville. Methinks they see a "Tickle Me Elbow" post coming in, they roll their eyes and mutter, "Aw, gawd, it's just one of them... ... push it through...... ..no one ever knows what in hell they're talking about anyway"........ :lol:

IMO this is a public board and talking about other members in this thread, or making fun of someone who believe's differently, is something I don't agree with and I realize I am in the minority on that.

Lisa,

There's been a lot of that lately--people spamming the board but doing so in established threads. Very sneaky....swoop in after the topic is pinned <_<

Could you let me know which threads these are? Thanks :)

Morning, Sillies!

Gosh, I hope we see Jules today.

Alex, you really are an amazing woman in her twenties.....Hell, I cannot see me ever being as self-aware as you are, and I'm now into my forties!

I sat with my best friend a few years ago, holding her hand and crying with her after her son was diagnosed with autism....we both were talking about the vaccination that he had received a year before, and how the symptoms began shortly afterward. Incredible how these possibilities exist - - that perhaps these medications could affect some people so profoundly, and forever. Julie mentioned how ill she became after a vaccine, as well....very sobering, frightening stuff.

But I digress! I'm on the bleedin' Silly thread, for heaven's sake! What got into me?....... :rolleyes:

I think that it's after moments like these that we appreciate the snippits of Sillie all the more :)

I just burned--no, incenerated--bacon in my microwave. Trying to do two things at once <_< ......it even put a burn mark on me plate :angry: It smells really gross in here right now (scrunchedupyukkysmellface).

Yeah--Amanda, it was raining when I got up at 6, but all sunny now B) Sorry 'bout the boring stuff today.

I got to rant here.....

Let me just phirst! say that my coworkers and I have really pulled together and finally became that team with the bond....which some of you know I struggled with the acceptance and pressures of my peers at work....

Anyway so we assumed this training was something we were logging on to the computer to do..well after some conphusion yesterday @ 4 when the training coordinate had left for the day, a phew of us were still wondering of a few details this morning. Turns out it was yours truly who ran into this person first thing this morning...well, I said to her our coworker was wondering about getting the projector and computer and such...and her words to me were "Amanda there is training today in room 1832, you would know that but you were the only one who did not respond to the email.... :huh: Alright...I don't appreciate the attuitude at 8 in the morning....jeez I barely had time to catch my breath from walking in the door and she comes in and literally does a Power Phart??? What gives?

So I check around and my other cohorts did not respond either....so this woman is just ranting to rant I guess?

So then I felt bad because I had gotten Susan all conflustered and confuzzled...well the woman who was ranting was like I cannot believe Susan was confused I gave her all the instructions...I am like look we were the ones giving her mixed info its not her fault...

I understand sometimes, Susan is not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed but this time she was not in the wrong!

I had to let that out.....

I think our Little Miss Attitude should take some high dose laxatives and poop all her mean genes away!!!!

Lisa, you can hit the report button when you see something. It let's you write a note about that person's particular post. You can preface it with an "I'm not sure this is a problem . . ." kind of lead it if you aren't for sure. It goes to the moderators and then they can check it out and decide if it is actionable or not. The person in question doesn't know who is the one that reported them either.

      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. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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. 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...

      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.

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
