Jess, thanks for the site so we could see what your avatar is! I was straining to read the tiny print. I know my eyes are pretty bad......but gee! Great root word....but not so sure I like words like "airhead", or maybe that's right because I can't remember any of the others! :blink:

Hey guys!! Question for the day....Just how does one hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums? When people used to ask me if I'm ready for Christmas, I always replied that it would steam roller over me whether I was ready or not :P

I avoid the shopping craze by picking things up here and there through the year....so that's not it. I've already decorated the house (as much as we're going to) so it's bright and cheery...so that's not it. I'm just not sure how to break out of this particular brown bag!

You all help, though. Thanks for being here! ;)

Sounds like you need some Vitamin D. Or a full-spectrum lamp to sit under every day.

Ohhhhhh, so a pavlova is a yummy?!?! I thought it a alcoholic beverage :D

I had pavlova years ago--it was so good! As I remember, twas a sweet merange cloud, baked and served in juicy strawberries and topped wif whipped cream. That's how me SIL made it, anyway......and yes, come to think of it, twod be poifect fer our diet. :P

Don't tell the blue ad pholks, but I just phinished off a half tube of Stax :ph34r: In lieu of lunch.....I pheel I need to post a disclamer on me gluttony :lol:

Okay, am I the ONLY one on here with a HUGE, blaring caption at the bottom of the page asking me why my stomach's so fat? It's quite hilarious, really, if it were not so bossy and rude.. .. . . . .HUGE letters, again, like my MIL would write.. . ...

You think you guys have the Christmas doldrums, Tareesah and Leeeesa . . . ...imagine how you'd be pheeling with that being screamed at you every page!!

"Did you know that Chinese herbs can treat herpetiformis dermatitis"? You'd think they'd do a little research before they tried marketing this crap. I had the "5 steps to a flat belly" too. You know what? My boyfriend likes my squishy belly!!!!! So there!!!!!

There is a new development within the family that just might keep me amused this holiday. My husband's family will be having the family celebration the Sunday after Christmas. We asked my SIL, who is hosting it this year(I know I've already said this, but..YAY!) if it would be OK if we invited my brother. He doesn't have a family or a relationship. My SIL, said yes, and wanted to invite him herself. Well.......she is single....he is single......she's always thought he was cute. It seems she has plans to put the make on him! I can't picture them together, but this makes Lisa giggle! :rolleyes::P:lol:.......I kinda feel sorry for my bro, but he's a big boy.......he can handle it!

How to hoist oneself above and beyond the seasonal doldrums?....I just realized I spelled doldrums duldrums in my last post :lol: I much rather like "dull drums" because that's how one actually feels, like dull drums beating without any life or energy to the beat, very dull :rolleyes::lol: ........... I do not know Theresa :huh: maybe take one day at a time and try not to let the stress over take you and dont sweat the small stuff, maybe try to do something that brings you joy.

If that doesn't work, maybe a drink?!?!?! :lol:

Evening Sillies-

wow did that weekend fly by, yesterday we did the touch up paint at the house plus while there we picked out the paint colors for the rooms we wanted to paint before we moved in...Yeah!!!!!

last night we decided to tackle Christmas shopping, or more so browsing since we are strapped for some cash this year, but I guess who isn't..... We went to Ollies cause buying toys there is cheaper. I am not sure any other sillies besides Patti and Judy have been to an Ollies, since I believe it is a chain in our general areas. But it is kinda of like Big Lots only much more stuff like rugs and things.

Well they had Fisher-Paykel stainless steel side by side fridges at a great price. We are going back to purchase one. They are all new in box, with the exception of the floor model. All come with a 2-yr warranty too. I love the Fisher-Paykel appliances, they are just a little pricey.

Today we bummed around a bit. Tonight is the giants game, I am working on a new puzzle John got me. So I will work on that and cheer the team on :)

Gawd Jess--yer holiday spread made me mouth water! I'm Italian, so we always had a meatless Christmas Eve. Meatless, but phar from a "fast": of any sort :P In the days leading up to Christmas Eve, my aunt and I would make about a dozen pies (literally), and christmas cookies. On the night of, we'd start wif deep fried smelt <drool> (and beer, if you were old enough--in our phamily, this meant about 13 :P) and then just tons of phood like baccala (salt cod), linguini wif clams, pasta wif squid (red) sauce, pasta fazool, antipasto, and salads. Me grandpa would make roasted chestnuts, too. We'd sit down to eat around 6 or so and not get up till it was time to get ready for midnight mass.

REALLY makes me wish I were Italian, or something interesting with strong cultural traditions but NO, we're just super-boring white people.......I don't even think I can remember a tradition, except opening one gift on Christmas eve :huh:

But Soooozie, if a twelve year-old can can sit through it four times (and she did, silently and patiently :wub: ), you absolutely can, too!

gawd, that poor Sophie - a horrifying tale..... :( But she made it! I'm not scared of the pain.....I'm scared of the freakin' COST :angry:

and YAY! A tie!!!!!!!!!! Yay Sophie!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      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.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
