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:

Now where was I????????????

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'm up for that returning-to-reality thing too. I've had no exercise and plenty of sugar for days and days now. Today we strike the set for the play, and then the cast party, so I guess reality starts tomorrow :rolleyes:

It's finally pouring rain now, and all the snow is melting. It was fun while it lasted.

I hope y'all are having a fantastic week, all things considered (headaches, blood sugar, snow, MILs)

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!!!!!!>

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.....

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!

      The symptoms that led to my diagnosis were stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, body/nerve tingling and burning and chills. It went away after about four days but led me to a gastro who did an upper endo and found I had marsh 3b. I did the blood test for celiac and it came back negative.  I have gone gluten free. In week 1 I had a flare-up that was similar to my original symptoms. I got more careful/serious. Now at the end of week 2 I had another flare-up. These symptoms seem to get more intense. My questions:  1. How do I know if I have celiac and not something else? 2. Are these symptoms what others experience from gluten?  When I have a flare-up it’s completely debilitating. Can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t move. Body just shakes. I have lost 10 pounds since going gluten free in the last two weeks.
