After starting it, we went to work on GFP brownies. My brother made them when he hosted the family at Christmas, and they were just awesome. So we picked up the mix, and now they are cooling on the kitchen counter.

Gads, POeter....your brother can cook, can write internationally-acclaimed novels. . . .......what can't he do??

Betcha you've got better balls than he does, and a bigger deck. . . . .

:o:lol:

What is the reason, again, that your brother gives for not eating mushrooms? They are not on the same developmental level, er sumfin? It was fascinating, I must say........just canna remember any of it. . . . . . .. :rolleyes:

well, while I was phorumless without a computer, the cats AND the room mate pointed out how much time I'd been spending crouched over my keyboard.

I'm gonna try actually accomplishing something today, like making Open Original Shared Link . (I'll try not to strain anything) :ph34r:

Rob couldn't cook to save his life. When it is his turn to host Christmas we go to a restaurant near his home. This was my other brother, Alan. :lol:

Rob believes that you should only eat things that are developed at the same level as we are. So animals must have eyes, feet and a spine, and plants must photosynthesize. :rolleyes:

I compiled a history of the Silly Crown. Our founder, Richard, was leader for 199 pages and 374 days before the modern, post-Richard era began with Beverly's assumption of the Crown by starting page 200. Until yesterday, the average reign was 31 days, with Bev's being the shortest.

When I lived in Armenia everyone would head out to the fields and pick whatever edible thing was growing as soon as it was warm.

After months of no fresh vegetation you'd be surprised what tastes good.

omg.....We were actually down on the Rideau Canal fer a skate this aft, and I couldn't help thinking of how much that would hurt, being tossed over the guard rails and onto the ice. :lol: There'd be no way to make that less than very painful, even with the substantial natural padding that I have accumulated. . .. . ..

But *I* haven't developed to the level of photosynthesis! :o Should I not eat plants? :lol:

:lol::lol: Yes....we, I believe, are from the Pre-Photo Classification. .. . ..

I have not yet found the metabolic pathway that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds. . . . .. but I'm looking, I'm looking!!!

So, POeter.....all live things that we eat must have feet, spines and eyes?

Gad.

Like. . . . . did your brother mean that ALL things with eyes and feet are fair game?

Would he eat Mickey Mouse?

Can they have a gazillion eyes, like insects?

So your brother would eat something advancely developed like a rat but not something like . . . shrimp??? . . . OK, I just gotta say . . . he's wrong . . . shrimp scampi is sooooooooooooo much better than rat scampi . . . :unsure: . . . or so I've been told.

I suspect that a rat would fall within Rob's eligibility criteria, but probably not his taste. Shrimp would not qualify. B)

And speaking of things to eat, we baked bread and brownies this afternoon. :)

It is still snowing. :angry:

This is probably the only post out of 1,500 to have true intellectual importance. B):lol: :lol:

Sorry the trip was a drag, and you missed all the phun here while you were away.

Jenkins is now Jaxon, or Jax for short. Fine, as long as you two are still together. You need a guy in your life who by loyal to you (as long as you feed him). ;)

Edited typo that changed meaning.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @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.

      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.

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
