Every year John and I do adopt an Angel through the Salvation Army. We pick a name off a tree and buy gifts for an underprivledged child. It is always a lot of fun.

Hey! There's a newbie named Eric who's posted over in the coping section.....he's put up a link to a very cool site where you can find humourous celiac T shirts and other paraphrenalia. He states that there "isn't much celiac humour around here".

I think I'd best respond to his post and inform him of Sillyville....get him over here....don't ya think?

Now it seems like they are more tasty,

Oh, I believe in gluten-free.

I couldn't sleep last night because I've been so immobile. My body hurts from not moving.

If the rain stops for a few hours I'll go for a walk, but does anyone have suggestions of exercise that doesn't involve the abdominal muscles? Or lifting?

:o Jess-- do no exercise at all except walking--which is good for you right now. It's still too soon for anything else.....when do you go for your follow-up?

I am so bad at being not well. Follow up is 1 month after surgery.

Stopping the pain meds was a good idea. Made me much more aware of when I was overdoing it.

I'll try doing gentle stretches throughout the day. Maybe just being in a multitude of positions will help, even if they aren't strenuous.

Yes, hopefully not too much tidying up and scrubbing/vacuuming for you there today.....but maybe you can bake some cookies with teh missus........

Patti's right, you should ONLY be gently walking. NO vigorous swinging with those men, either! OMG - I am a really good patient :lol: Could loll in bed for days (as long as someone's feeding me and tending to Weez)......... :huh:

Wait for it.......Judith has balls??????? :o:lol:

Patti :lol: :lol: quite the comedian, you are

SILLIES - - I have been working out SO HARD at the gym - I think i've.......torn things..... :unsure: am in SO much pain adn too old for this sort of activity............shoulder/hip/back - what in hell? it didn't USED to hurt this much when I worked out........... :angry: getting old SUCKS!

Ah ..............'me balls are missing today'.......I'm a woos. :lol: have to go find me balls :blink:

Patti's the expert here for sure.

Agree here-----I just know that for me.....after surgeries I found that going off the pain meds made me much more aware of 'overdoing it' too.

I think just changing positions and moving when you can will help with the stiffness........and body aches.

each day will make it better........

Em good luck at the Dr today

don't over do with his 'chores' :lol:

No endoscopy scheduled today........and at least his specialty is NOT in gynecology. Think I'd be slowly backing toward the door if upon entering I saw metal stirrups affixed to his chest freezer........ . . . . ... :o:lol:

Yep, I sure can't do what I was doing ten years ago. :(:angry: I'm slower, less flexible......my hair isn't as nice........well, that's not an exercise thing, but |I could go on and on..... :rolleyes:

Jess! Walking is really good! Grab an umbrella and go......Not long, and not quickly...... .. but even a half-hour stroll would be excellent! Yes, I agree with you about easy stretching. Do that when you get back.

How long are you off work?

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
