Hey all! Rain, and more rain here. Just cold enuff to freeze on the trees and shrubs...looks really pretty. Not cold enough to freeze the roads, so that's kool. Has iced up me deck.....wooden but not self-erected :lol: . I am not in the least tempted to try going down the ice-covered steps.....oh, no,no,no. Still having troubles from my slinky adventure <_<

Glad to hear from Kween Manda! I'm excited for you! After a year in our house there are still some things unpacked....still some things unfound (probably in the black holes with all of those escapee socks and squished boobies :rolleyes: ). 'Tis fun to arrange and decorate a new home.

"Kool Beans in the Belfry"? Just playing around with our trite sayings. Can come up with some pretty odd mental images. I love words, language, playing around wif it all. Maybe that's weird....but I am comfortable with my weirdness.

Hope yer all havin' a super day. Later

Poor wee Alzey.... he's had a Whitlow cuticle infection on his finger for about a week, they usually clear by themselves (he bites his nails, I think that's why he gets 'em?)

WELL, this one ain't clearing...I phoned me gp but the dragon receptionist was adamant that the quack doc couldn't see him 'til MONDAY!!!! :angry: ....poor lad's in alot of pain.... (UK's NHS is going to pot BTW! :rolleyes: )

....ANYHOO, can't leave him in pain so I took him to a 'minor injuries unit' (a bit like a 'minor ER')

The nurse looked, winced, and said 'let me just take a look'........OMG!!!!!..as she touched it, IT EXPLODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GAHHHHhhhh!!!!!!! Pus and blood everywhere!!!!!!!! :vomitface:

She's had to put a dressing on it - he's going to lose his nail :( .....they want to test him for diabetes as he the slightest scratch gets infected :blink::rolleyes: (although I don't think it's that ...he just has a poor immune system)

Ok, hope you weren't eating and reading :lol: ...but HAD to share ;)

OH, boiler news...... they'll ring me when they know something :blink::lol: ('cos I ain't on their computer!)

Gawd, methinks you'd have a pretty good idea if he were diabetic - - so many screaming, debilitating symptoms (rapid weight loss, excessive thirst and urination, blurry vision, wicked head pain).....this can't be it! An easily infected kid, wif a wonky immune system . . .. . . ... . .hope there's no more blood and/or pus!!

Elmhurst Rd (aka 83) is a main thoroughfare thru Mt Prospect!! Taking it straight south 2 or 3 towns puts me in yer old town :)

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Nope, I used to live in Lake County but have migrated closer to "the city" to be closer to school... I guess better wording in my original post would have been "suburban Illinois" (the HUGE area that is referred to as "Chicagoland" but is actually not conveniently located to Chicago) ;)

Psilly Illinoisians!

Ahh yes Lake County's nice. As a kid we'd go applepicking in Wauconda, and fishing at Fox, Pistakee, Chain o' Lakes et al. :happyreminisceface:

I was .... but it takes more than that to gross me out. :) I hope his nail grows back quickly.

I was so easily bruised before I got better that I lost a toenail last summer due to bruising .... and the worst part is, I don't even know how I got the bruise! I didn't even know it was there till I removed my toenail polish and saw it!

Have I not mentioned I'm being transferred to Indy? :lol:

Uh, I missed this ... are you serious? (I ask on the silly thread, ROFL!)

I haven't been blue-googled this ad yet - - are TOMS an American restaurant chain? Or is it really a dating site, where only those named Tom can be members?

Perhaps it is just a statement.....All Toms, generally, are vegan-friendly. Running through all of the Toms I've ever known... . . . . .. .Y'know, it's probably true!! :huh::lol:

Poor Alzey!!!! I hope it heals quickly :)

      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. 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.

      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.
