POeter! What were you doin' going back and forth, T.O. to Rochester, for 30 years? Do you have family down there?
My parents owned property on Lake Canadaigua during that time. The property was sold two years ago. It was not permanently occupied, and when not in use by Mom or Dad the other family members would use it. Rob spent much time there writing, and the place appears in at least one of his novels.

Will do! Quite the thruway, Yonge Street is.....it eventually becomes the Trans-Canada Highway, does it not?
Yup, continue straight and, from North Bay to just west of Fort Frances, Yonge Street, known there as Hwy 11, is part of the Trans-Canada. We have not driven that route. We used the Hwy 17 alignment both ways in 1984 going to Vancouver, and returning from Alaska in 1994.

Really is a small world....Mark's sister lived in Canadaigua for a while while she was a student teacher. My family had a reunion there at the lake when I was about 12--and Mark and I have been to Sonnenberg Gardens and partook in some wine-tasting while there. :)

Maybe we crossed paths at some point :o

Good Morning, Psillies!

Welcome Acshleygh! We haven't had any newbies lately who have stuck around for very long - - so there is a lot riding on yer shoulders!

Um .. . . I have invited two or three forum newbies to join us over here in the last couple of months, and not a single one has even peeked in that I know of. .. . .... :unsure::huh: . . ...

Not one!. . .....(true)... . . ...

Mygawd, everybody's living again today. . ....

Nary a peep outta anyone. .. ..... :unsure: ..... . . ....

I have most of our costume paraphrenalia ready for the big Halloe'en party/dance this weekend. I have dared Will to walk the six miles up Yonge Street in full dress (African Zulu warrior) to your store on Saturday, POeter, as we would then be all ready for the dance that night. I said that I would accompany him in costume. I know that there are many areas of Yonge where we would not even cause eyes to widen. At all. :lol:

The kids immediately chimed in that they would not be walking anywhere near us .. .they would, in fact, get on a later boat.

Bah! Where is everyone's sense of phun and adventure?? <_<B):lol:

Just a drive-by poop-in here . .. .

Ptaughmn's pleased to be in the homestretch of moving :D <yay!>

2 craigslist guys w/ a truck are due @1pm & I'll be sleeping in Willow Glen tonight. :contentedsleepingface:

Work's going better than expected :happysmugface: :lol:

Talked to Bossman some last night. He seems to think the stuff I'm doing - which is NOT what I was hired to be doing - is harder and more important than I believed it to be.

He said I'm "doing engineering", to which I replied "maybe we should revisit my pay scale then". Heehee :P

I'll soon be getting a desk and new pc w/ big widescreen monitor too! Yippee :):D:lol:

      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...

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

      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.

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.
