here's something - I really do miss hamburgers but - OMG - positively vomitous! :blink:

Open Original Shared Link

I want to know how many calories that burger was............probably enough for 2 weeks!

There can not be a devil child worse than the new student we got yesterday. He is a 5th grader and is on his 5th foster home. He was abusive to the last family. He has a mentor that goes with him everywhere....even on Saturdays. Everything you say to him creates a conflict. We were sugary sweet to him but it didn't matter. When I told him to copy a sentence, he said he didn't know what to do. He made fun of a boy with a speech problem. I nicely told him that he can't help the way the words come out of his mouth and we don't make fun of people for things like that. He said, "I bet YOU have!"

One boy asked him who the man was with him. He replied, "He's my mentor. DIDN"T YOU HEAR HIM TALKING?" I said, "Well maybe he didn't. I didn't hear him either." He turned to me and said, "I WASN"T TALKING TO YOU!" I was in a different classroom when it exploded. They were sitting in a circle reading a book and he kept talking. The teacher tried to get him to be quiet and he went off about hating her and the school and wanting to kill people. He was taken away to the "quiet room" and held in a lock hold while he ranted and cussed. He wasn't in school today, but will be back on Mon.

The stress that day was extreme. The other kids were in shock....and scared. I have to wonder what has happened in his life to make him that angry.

Evening, All!

The Ottawa Wildcats lost this evening. . . ... :( Close game, 2-1. I HATE being the goalie's mom!! The goalie takes it all for the team, and a loss is always their fault (in their eyes). I just told her to always remain cool, stay alert, and keep an eye out along the edges of the ice for my cursor. . . . . .......

:rolleyes::lol:

How are you feeling tonight, Amanda? This was a big, hectic day for you. . . . hope you managed okay.

Hi Sillies

Still sick...but guess it will run its course.

Just got back from a road trip to my mom's to drop Landen off. It was a lot of fun. Jen and I got to my moms about 4 and then we went to a Halloween street fair in my moms town....It is cold there.....Maybe high 40's today?? I just know it was brrr!!!! We stayed with Landen until 7 and then we snuck out so he didnt see us. He was playing with my sister Carrie and all the toys.

Brooklyn is so precious and the two babies played together nicely. She was even smiling :)

Jen and I stopped to see Tammy on the way in Wilkesbarre. We visited with her and hubbie and Silvia for a bit. It was a great time and much laughing in my car.

Now I am pooped....The big move takes place tomorrow....yikes!!!!

Sad indeed

My son is in NO way as bad as this, - but not ALLOWED to go to school nonetheless :rolleyes:

and by god!...one thing I will NOT tolerate is making fun of those less fortunate than yourself

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

...but for sooo many kids out there, school is the only place where they have come across rules and expectations :(

On a happier note t'is Al's 16th birthday TODAY!!!!

☻☻☻

.....he woke us up at the crack of dawn :rolleyes:

He's gone to his 'Saturday club'......he burst through the doors screeching ''It's me birthday everyone!!!!!!!! '' :lol:

Birthday cake making (gluten-free victoria sponge with buttercream AND raspberry jam middle) will shortly be made by my resident chef Terry :P

GADS!!!....thankfully there are no calories at work on a Saturday ;)

...and how sweet.....every year he always gets money and a card from the LSA (learning support assistant) he had right back from nursery (kindergarten) - she never forgets ♥

Susie, hope your back's eased up a bit

{{{hugs}}} for me Bevel

...and where's Jules?????

There can not be a devil child worse than the new student we got yesterday.

:( So totally sad. My friend Lauren is in quite a bad school and there were a few like this last year.......they kept getting suspended and then expelled - some of them in several schools already by 5th grade..............Lauren and I decided that they needed three things: divine intervention/miracle (and she's an atheist :blink: ), complete dietary overhaul, and seriously tough love. Oh, and different parents in most cases. The parents are on crack. :(

Evening, All!

The Ottawa Wildcats lost this evening. . . ... :(

Well, I don't think it's fair for the goalie to assume responsibility for the team losing :angry: I know Sophie gave 110%, and has nothing to pheel sorry for. Hope she pheels better today :)

I hope (with my son) that our parental guidance will eventually offset all his behavioural probs - and he will possibly turn out to be a decent human being! :rolleyes:

I'll bet he does, Nik. Kids are like sponges in a way and they see how we lead our lives--at some point I think your son will come around ;)

And I want a piece of that cake! :P

Well, Josie is a bit of a digger . . . I could send her right over . . . but she prefers to dig things that have been freshly planted so she may not be too useful.

well, I don't think I can take credit fer "EMOTIQUOTA" - - 'twas Em, I believe?

and my back.................ugh. Just a mess. :( Weez and I just went on a walk and I felt and looked like an old lady.......much slower than our usual speed and........the pain is worse :angry: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to Target, nonetheless, for two more plants......... may have Stepford's gardeners do the digging for smell fee, however.

can't even find me blasted heating pad..............WHO loses their heating pad, I ask you? :blink:

Of course named after Queen Vicky ...she was rather partial

T'is a mystery (like the Yorkshire puddings) quite how Tel gets the cake to rise sans gluten :blink:

I MUST know how Tel gets the cakes to rise.......we MUST find his secret. p'raps you should video tape him...........

Oh I see.......sponge is........cake. :lol: Here's what we call cakes:

yellow cake

white cake

chocolate cake

etc.

a SPONGE cake is.........what? we have that here........is taht like a pound cake? :lol:

but what is a Victoria sponge? is it the certain philling that makes it so named?

Susie, it is a shame that Annie is not the digger that Stinker was (Tika's Excavation Industries Ltd.). She could be out there right now, spraying and tossing dirt everywhere. . . . . . :lol:

:lol: Yes........oh Annnie DOES dig a bit.......she digs up all the gravel on the side yard and makes holes for herself. <_< (quite good that they ARE on the side yard/garbage area and not seen by humans - she is such a good girl :) )

And Stinker......her excavations and major digs were really confined to the LAWN. she dug up all the grass. :blink:

A phunny (unintentional, as is often the way) from Jack:

I was preparing to do my suppertime injection, and I had to open up a new package of cotton balls. Jack walked in as I was pulling the bag open, and he asked, "are you supposed to throw the first one away?"

Suz--it's not a pound cake, a sponge is more airy and light--kinda like those little cakes you find next to the fresh strawberries at the grocery store in the summer fer those too lazy to make a proper shortcake. :P Yet another thing we can't have <_<

Yep Nik--yer son is like a Victoria sponge--wif a sweet filling! Just give him time, and you'll see :D

How did Al's birfday go?

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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...

      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.

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

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
