Hmmmmm .. .. Soooozie's got a Holy Meeting. The details will be fascinating for me to hear. Sooooze, we pondered early on in this thread whether or not Jesus was in fact celiac. . . . ..I suggest positing this as an introductory question. Should get the ball rolling - - ask if there is specific scripture that mentions him feeling bloated, tired or crampy during the Last Supper, and the whole immense irony that could exist in the "bread is the staff of life" thing. . . . . . ...

I just KNOW this will be a subject that will have them talking.

Um. . .. or perhaps not. Maybe they would sit, silent and staring. . . . . .....

GAH!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: x 500

the Holy Lunch went quite well! Just two of the main pastors, but that's okay. And - I only had about 10 percent OVERTALKING!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: feeling relieved that it's over!! Loved it!

Rushed home for 4pm today as the foreman (of builders) had an appt to inspect the fan and fire alarms.

This appt has been cancelled so many times it's ridiculous ........ at 4.15pm they ring to say they can't make it, is Tuesday between 8am-6pm ok??????

....Nicola lost eeet and said it wasn't OK as 'believe it or not it's xmas next week and I'm too (freakin') busy to wait in ALL DAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! '

I can't imagine keeping up . .. .. .

I've been so off lately .. ..still not settled into any routine that includes work AND getting fed properly.

Somehow I can be utterly exhausted after work, but unable to sleep for MANY hrs. Was up past 5am last night.

Replying from work while waiting for a part to get to 90C.

Weird to see all these knuddy options :blink:

ennnnnnneeweigh . .. . .last time i tried eating just a couple hrs after waking, i spent ~20min puking & in a Open Original Shared Link. <great James Brown song btw> [what in Sam Hill? instead of url it says post for that link??? :huh: [edit: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh .. . ..& hmmmmmmm & NOW i see where to click for url :o ]

So i don't eat for 4 or 5 hrs after waking, and i'm not hungry until around then anyhoo.

Working fewer hrs won't do. :( Rents are too high 'round here.

I HAVE been considering trying melatonin to see if i can sleep sooner after work.

And i've REALLY gotta get better at making dinner easier on work days.

bah . .. nothin phun here . .... .

Morning Sillies--

Tis another ugly weather day here. It is a cold rain today and even though it was mixed with ice and stuff and that is closer to snow.....but it still isn't the white fluffy stuff!

So it will be another day of partying and trying to get work done...hopefully it works out but I doubt it. We will be getting our tree tonight and hopefully decorating it.

Talk to you all later sillies!

Em, do hope your Dad's ok. Scary when it comes to parents health.

Tawwwm....sorry to hear you are having troubles. I can identify and sympathize. I don't sleep well, either. Food is still a major issue....I eat a small lunch, and use the crockpot a lot for dinners. Always make enough for leftovers, often freezing stuff for quick fixes later.

I tried Melatonin, too. It does help to get to sleep, but I still wake many times at night. I found that I get major nasty headaches from it...don't know why. So I stopped using it. I go to sleep readily enough still....it's staying asleep that's a problem.

Hope you can find your way to a happier, better time. <:munchkin voice:> Follow the yellow brick road

I do the same thing--when I make something, I try and make more than we can eat in a meal and take the leftovers and freeze in individual portions for me when I need it. Comes in handy when the guys get pizza <_< , at least I don't have to cook that night :lol:

Well, didn't have to take Dad in - -he is better...... . .but some strange, abdominal pain that comes and goes, so he will have to see his doctor, hopefully Monday. There's a history of kidney AND gall stones (and undiagnosed celiac, I am certain), so for now, he's resting on Tylenol. Things are okay right now. :) Thanks so much for the words of concern!

I freeze a LOT of extra meals, too. DH takes leftovers to work, as do the kids to school, so you can imagine the size of the lasagna pans/casserole dishes/roasts/crock pots I fill!! Have you got a decent-sized freezer, Ptaoughmghmnuss?

Have you got a decent-sized freezer?

NO!!!! But I'm planning on getting one within the next year. We have our freezer that is part of our fridge and then we have the freezer that is part of our (older and smaller) "drink and big meal overflow" fridge that is in our garage. However, in the winter when we have really cold snaps and the garage temp stays below freezing for a couple of days, the freezer thermostat doesn't work and stuff starts to thaw . . . so in the winter, I'm stuck wif just the one freezer. I bought a breast chest freezer last year and when I got it home and took off all the packaging, it appeared to have been dropped (on it's motor) at some time. I took it back - it was the last one they had - they offered me a 10% discount to keep it . . . :lol: . . . riigggghhhhhttttt . . . dropped on it's motor . . . I'm sure it's fine . . . :majorsacasm:

Em-hope you get some answers on Monday.

Just a quick fly-by to say that it is snowing big time here in Toronto, with about 8 inches expected in all. It started after the morning commute, but has been coming down steadily since. It looks like there is at least 6 inches so far. The parking lot has been shoveled three times, and needs it again. :angry:

YES!! The Ripper's on his way, POeter! Gad, I hope you don't lose your parking spaces like last year. . . . . .. :angry:

We've gotten about two inches of barph, with another couple of centimetres due overnight. The big dump is coming Sunday. . . . .. perhaps a foot. :unsure:

      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.

      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.
