How you doin' Sarah? I was thinking we haven't heard from you lately.

Well... I'm sick of being sick. <_< I've been having gluten type symptoms for 10 days straight now. When it started, I thought it was cc from Micky D's... but I don't think it would last so long if that was it, so at this point I don't know what's making me sick. Diarrhea, evil stomach pain... the fatigue is overwhelming today.

I've been trying like hell to push through it, because I've been sick so much this year... my yard and gardens are a shameful mess. So I've been busting some butt on yard cleanup. Between the diarrhea and the heat, I got myself good and dehydrated Thursday. :angry: Stupid.

Trying to take a rest day today. Unfortunately, Ezra is having a "BAD DAY." And I'm low on patience today. :( Sigh.

I have gotten a lot of work done outside though, which is very heartening!

Aw--I'm sorry :(

Could it be something that you eat often that has changed--like in the manufacturing process? I've had gluten symptoms for a couple months now....I discovered that those nuts that got me (which had been fine) were now being processed on shared lines with wheat. Not all companies will list this.

To be fair, Diamond did list it, but I never checked since it had been fine before. <_<

This stuff is so frustrating sometimes, Sarah--I hope you get it figured out before too long. :)

Argh....poor Gus--hope it's just a passing upset. The other day, Allo was looking out the door and I heard the telltale whine and then he puked right there. I went to clean it up--and do you think he'd move? No, he just continued to watch the outdoors whilst I cleaned up around him <_<

This reminds me of an interesting thing that two or three vets have told me over the years...... when you are housetraining a puppy, it is very important NOT TO LET the pup see you cleaning up one of its messes, as its mother did this and the pup gets comfort from seeing this again. So perhaps Allo is comforted by your motherly cleaning of his soiled area, Patti......... <_<:rolleyes:

I told our realtor that I'd like my picture taken with one of those magic real estate cameras! :lol:

Yes!! But those cameras usually make the house look bigger, so I dunno........ :rolleyes:

Emily . . . how are you holdin' up without the Ripper? . . . perhaps we should all think of a question for him to answer when he gets back . . . something like . . . would you be willing to go bald if you could have an extra set of eyes in the back of your head (and YOU would be the only one like that)??

:lol::lol: Good one, Janet! He'd say yes, if they were 20/20. Otherwise he'd need two more ears around which to put a second pair of glasses.......

Hee--My little sister, who is really one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, has this habit of laughing whenever anyone trips or falls. It's like a nervous habit--she doesn't really think it's phunny, she just automatically laughs. :unsure:

Remember the CLASSIC Mary Tyler Moore episode of Chuckles the Clown's funeral? :lol::lol:

It is my birthday celebration at work today, they made me gluten free strawberry cupcakes which were very good! Plus we just had lunch ordered in and it was good. But where we ate was cold I am freezing now! SO I am bundled up in my lab coat.

And Spruezee Schmooz....((((((HUGS)))))). He's a butt-head is all I have to say. How's yer back today??

Me hair twin is in Turkey :blink:

How are all the fur balls of Sillyville?

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying the Olympics. Last night's relay was sooooooooo amazing, I was yelling, no screaming at the tv, jumping up and down, laughing, crying, what an incredible moment to witness!!!

I also had a Sillies moment on Sat I think it was, I was watching the game between Japan and Misty May/Kerri Walsh and when the ball is not in play they always blast music at these beach volleyball venues, so anyway one of the songs that came on was the Baywatch theme song. And what did I immediately think of?? ................Me Sillies and The Hoff of course :lol::lol::lol:

Since Bubba dug out her equestrian photo I should try to dig up some old swimming photos for my avatar, we all should put up our own "olympic" avatars just for shytes and gigglez :lol::lol:

Since this is the Silly thread, everything and anything qualifies for a potential medal....it could be for gardening or make-up applying.

Can I have a medal for being the clumsiest silly??? Or for how many times a week I hit up Wegmans....see I can win!!!

Jestgar Rising Star

I feel compelled to add that since that photo I've lost like 25 pounds, cut my hair and had it highlighted, and discovered that monks are all talk and no action :P

jerseyangel Proficient

Well then, Miss Jess, we need a new picture and as for the monks....it's their loss :D

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I agree post a new pic so we can see the new Jess!

Ooh Amanda.....

Phorgot to tell you--we went to Wegman's Saturday. Made the trek to Warminster because I can't get my Enrico's No Salt Added gluten-free Pasta Sauce anywhere around here.

But.....they're currently building a new Wegman's in Collegeville, which is easily not more than 20 minutes from here!!! I'll be able to go every week! :D

you must go on opening day!!!! I am telling you having one 15 minutes away for me is great! All I do is mention allergies and they tell me all about celiac, its wonderful!!!! Do go on opening day you can meet all the top people too.

I wanna Wegmans!!!! :(:( What is wrong with this country? There are NO Wegmans here. :angry:

Jess! Let's see the new hair, the new bod! :):)

And the Ripper is off to camp!! Did you sing "99 Bottles Of Beer On the Wall" and other fun camp songs on the way there?!?! :lol: He's gona have a great time .

The song that the orchestra played as the Titanic was sinking, and eventually slipped under, was "Nearer My God to Thee"....this is far too dirgey and churchish for Jack to get going around a big campfire, he has realized. So, he says he will start singing Madonna's songs (the singer, not the Virgin). he also loves Abba, but is wise enough to know that an eleven year-old boy belting out "Does Your Mother Know" is very uncool and worthy of merciless teasing. He's learned all this the hard way, I'm sad to say....... . .. :(

Perhaps he'll just start throwing out some of his baffling questions for them all to consider while staring into the flames........ :lol:

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying the Olympics. Last night's relay was sooooooooo amazing, I was yelling, no screaming at the tv, jumping up and down, laughing, crying, what an incredible moment to witness!!!

You Yanks have an amazing team..... :) Still waitin' for the first Canuck medal.. . . .

Yes!! This is a terrific spectator sport. Patti and Mark entered this Olympic competition as a pair, and won a gold medal. :lol:;)

Hmmmmm.......photos of us in Olympic posture? Gad.

I still have the shot of me by my toilet. This could be Olympic, I'm certain.......somehow....

Collegeville?? Is that remarkable similar to Collegetown?

Dunno--I don't think there's a Collegetown near here.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
