Sorry I been MIA, I guess I broke the law and got a life. I made my boyfriend his cheesecake for his Christmas present today, apparently my present needs 'more work'. I don't know what the heck he's making, but it should be fun! We're off to see the new Jim Carrey flick.

How's everybody's Christmas?!

Housework <_< My goal is to try and KEEP my house as clean as it is now......all year! not so easy for a dingo-brain........

This will be my goal as well :D . I did a deep clean of my kitchen this past week, wiping down cabinet shelves and drawers, throwing away old metal pans, etc. I have one more week off from work and plan to tackle the rest of the house, including closets. (Yeah, that's what I always say..........we'll see how much really gets done <_< )

After the holidays are over, I plan on going on the SCD. Having more issues..... like, my tongue always feels raw. I don't completely know what I'm in for, yet......still have research to do.

So.....still have Christmas with the in-laws and New Year's at a friend's house.

There you are, Bunnie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK!!!!!!!

OKAY!!! Here I am, back in the bosom!!!

OMG......please do not discuss further the conditions of one's post-holiday house, and the houecleaning needed.. . . . ..I just keep grabbing a drink, and the muddles/dirt vanish from my radar.....magical, really . .. . . :rolleyes::lol:

Lots of hot-tubbing the last couple of days.....and the charades we played tonight offered some truly astounding moments, all from my dad. He was on the same team as my mom, and here we were, planning on letting him sit out of the game as he cannot see much and he can't really get up to act.

Well........My mom gets "The Crucible" to act out. One of the toughest I've encountered. She gets them to say that the subject is a play, then they get "the" as the first word. My dad, watching her intently as she begins to try to tackle "Crucible", perhaps by breaking it down into syllables, suddenly says quietly, "The Crucible?".........

Holy crap.

Christmas dinner found me with the new li'l tape measure (?) I got in my cracker, walking around the table, measuring everybody's heads, right around the forehead, just above the ears. Jack had the biggest number - - 22 3/4 inches...... . . . so he got some extra dressing. :lol:

Missed all you guys the last couple o' days!!! :wub::wub:

Oh! Went to Gail's and watched The Other Boleyn Girl - quite good. Never really KNEW anything about that other Boleyn.........interesting. I love how they are, in the movie, so clean and scrubbed and shiny, even when bedridden for months and months......not like their hair would be matted to their heads or anything. :lol: And the stink.........can you imagine? And - long, very clean, shiny straight hair - that is NOT how in hell they wore it. And - gorgeous brocades that always looked quite freshly cleaned and new. <_< what in hell? they should show us how it really was, stinking and filthy, with soiled clothing and greasy hair. :lol:

OH! and we drank absinthe, too! and ate potato chips. :huh:

I feel truly barphish presently. :sickface:

I was a good girl! No sugar n stuffs. Mostly because where I went there weren't any I could have, but hey. At least I don't feel like crap from sugar hangover. Just from being out til 2 o'clock in the freakin morning........

That Jim Carrey movie was great, by the way.

Side note: Bob's Red Mill no longer makes a gluten-free buckwheat flour, they now carry only the one made in the wheat facility. That's annoying.

OMG NIk - meant to tell you about burning the fig candle on Christmas Day - - um, pardon me if you already know this but, did you all know that you are supposed to burn a new candle for as many hours as it is inches in diameter? As in - - three-inch candles must be lit for three hours the first time, or else it will ruin it and.....create a small hole in the middle, reducing your candle life dramatically.

I did not learn this valuable information until about six years ago. Changed me life. :lol:

WHAAAT???????? :angry::angry:

OMG!, OMG!, OMG!!!!!!

T'is too late for the phig alas, BUT!!! ....MY GAAAWD .....THE OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........MUST save them... <frantically blowing out NEW posh candles!!!!!!>

I got two HUGE posh candles for christmas, lit one this morning early as knew it had to burn for several hours. Smells lurvely. ;)

in other news.....

Um, last night bought not one but TWO bags of crisps chips, took them to Gail's (who DEMANDED I take them both home despite my plans of leaving them there <_< ), they were two-fer-one at the store............help me........HELP ME.......I left them at Ms. Perfectly Perfect's house last night on the last dog let-out so that I could not get them in the middle of the night and pig out.......

:ph34r:

but now, I hear them........calling softly to me in their greasy, potato-y, salty goodness.........

:huh:

and, in still other news.........

last night I dreamed I was with Patrick Swayze and his wife, on some small boat in the Caribbean, they made me call in "late" to work at some receptionist job I had, and wouldn't let me go back to shore..... :blink: They were really lovely, just wouldn't let me go back and told me it made no sense to go in late.

The waters were that really gorgeous, clear blue, with large creatures swimming beneath.....

      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 +

      @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, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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.

      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
