Oh . . . and the knee . . . I think I'm doing pretty good. Got major kudos from the doc and PT at my appts on Thursday. Sometimes it feels great and then a couple of hours later much much worse . . . comes and goes . . . have to keep an glittery eye on the swelling.

I'm pretty sure you need a foot detox pad, oh wait, wrong thread :P

Glitter would certainly help the swelling, and setting a pyramid on your knee (anyone remember that healing fad from the 70's?)

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things? :rolleyes::huh:

You weren't the only one! Mark and I were incredulous! :o:D

Mom got me a bunny! :) He is so adorable! Boomer is his name.

My son had a bunnie once and he litter-trained it.

:brown-noserface:

Brown-nose

Take your hand with fingers together and thumb across palm [letter B] and brush fingers forward twice against side if nose. ;)

What did the hamburger name his daughter?

:rolleyes::lol::lol:

Happy Birthday, Anamanamanduh!!!!!!......See.......you don't have to feel left out! :P

One more sign........very fitting...

Olympics

Make the OK sign with both hands (thumb and index together, all other fingers up) and interlock them so they look like links on a chain......now let go and twist hands, link back together....repeat.

First day back to work wore me out....slept a lot......missed opening ceremony. :angry:

Morning spent in an auditorium listening to administrators talk......:fingertwisingatsideofnose:.......out for lunch.......afternoon at school meeting people, getting tour of building, taking notes on signs I will need to look up...........................not that bad, but my days are used to being broken up with occassional visits to Sillyville :P

Really? What does that mean? . . . The bunny can apply glitter eye-shadow to itself??

Oh, that is terrific.....

You guys have to root for our Ian Miller - - he's the 62 year-old equestrian rider. This is his ninth Olympics. C'MON, GRAMPA!!!!!! :lol::lol:

Now THAT is cool. I used to dressage when I was in my teens and I gotta tell ya. I'm It's not as easy as I it looks :P

<--------- See new avatar. I wanted to be an Olympic equestrian (still do!)

Don' forget . . . glittery eye-shadow to distract or throw light into the competition's eyes!!

And the VERY SMALL bikinis :lol: Gabrielle Reese was/is cool though!!!!!!!

Youse guys- sumfin is wrong with me (vomiting, D, black tarry stools). They took blood and a poopy cow sample yesterday :ph34r::(

Gosh Bev....this is concerning. We'll hope it turns out to be nuthin serious.

Are you taking oral meds still? Maybe some sort of reaction?

... . ...I'll just say this, because our Canadian commentator mentioned it and I'm SO GLAD that he did: when you see things moving, look carefully for the person controlling it - - may not be obvious, but those incredible people are there.....

*ONLY* because of this, and the side-view shot ~1/2 way thru, I noticed some footsies under the characters, but STILL didn't believe people could be doing that so perfectly precise for a few minutes.

Heard someone today say they practiced 8+ hrs/day for 4 mos and last night was the 1st time w/ no errors. :o

<oh come on!!> <_<

Y'know, that's the bottom line with any therapy, conventional or not. There is no 'one size heals all' and who's to say that your particular chemistry isn't such that you can detox with foot pads.

I think it's unlikely that non-conventional therapies work for most people, but just as a few people get no benefit from standard treatments, there's gotta be a few people that get benefit from non-standard treatment.

<I only object to the people that say 'because it worked for me, it must work for everyone'>

And Darnit! Do your PT!! That DOES help most people.

Thanks toots- I'm not on any abx yet. Could have been a bad arse glutening :( Weird.

You know that unbelievable grid with the hundreds of moving squares that went like a wave, then spirals, then Chinese characters, all incredibly timed and flowing? Of course we know NOW that each of those squares had a person under it, moving it up and down with staggering precision, as they all burst up and began waving at the very end. Well, I thought at first that the squares were being moved by a computer somewhere....it never occurred to me that people could actually do this, so precisely. During the performance, our announcer mentioned that it was individual people under each square, kneeling, crouching, then standing and crashing back down at the exact moments needed.

Now, was I just a dolt? :lol: Did everyone else know from the very beginning that there were li'l people under those things?

That was amazing!

I didn't know until the very end when they flashed the camera closer and to the ground, then you could see thousands of little feet underneath.

well, WHEN is the replay on here? Becasue.....last night, we went to this pub, got caught up with some......interesting characters, :huh: and I was not home until past 9. I was staring at the TV screens, though, and saw the MOST fascinating precision in the events.........

MUST see it again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUST SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am MAD at self! :angry:

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

She who never misses an opening ceremony, she who reminded us of the opening ceremony coming up, MISSED IT?!?!?!? :blink:

Did you at least leave the tv on for the Weeze?

You guys have to root for our Ian Miller - - he's the 62 year-old equestrian rider. This is his ninth Olympics. C'MON, GRAMPA!!!!!!

I love the story about your flag-bearer....the Sudanese refugee. What a beautiful face, smiling into the crowd, and what a horrific childhood.... . .now he stands to win a gold medal. Those are the real stories of the Olympics.......

I love the story behind our flag bearer too, heart warming :wub: A 62 year old equestrian rider? How fabulous!!!! I will keep an eye out. Don't forget the 41 year old swimmer Dara Torres.

THis is what I love about the Olympics, all the personal stories behind all the athletes, from all the countries. So many have really overcome great odds.

Another moment last night I just loved was the little boy walking out with that basketball player (phorgot his name....) who was carrying China's flag, the little boy being one of the survivors of the earthquake.

Don' forget . . . glittery eye-shadow to distract or throw light into the competition's eyes!!

:lol:

Glad your knee is doing ok :)

Equestrian Bubba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bevvy wevvy, what is going on with you? That doesn't sound very good, everything is coming out both ends :huh::( . Any better tonight?

So, I'm in Starbucks today--of course, being Saturday :P --in the ladies room (again, of course) and me sunglasses that were hanging from me shirt fell onto the floor right in front of the toilet :o:angry:B)

      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 +

      @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, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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 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
