OK, apparently the rest of yas all have lives, but it's pouring rain here, and I have a bunch of work today, so I'm employing my favorite procrastination method - you guys. I'll just chatter on by myself for a while...

Yesterday on the ferry I sat with a woman I only talk to occasionally and she invited me to join her commute group (we all travel in packs) at the Mexican restaurant on the island. Since I had met the others at least once, I figured, why not? So I'm talking to this woman and her hubby and it turns out that they're trained actors/performers, and he actually runs one of the professional theaters in the city. (the interesting part is coming up, I promise. Although I'm not promising that it'll be that interesting.)

Anyway, it turns out that, as part of his job, he gets tickets to 2 or 3 performances a week in the city. He tries to go, but sometimes it's just too much, especially for his wife, since she has a full time job and wants to spend her evenings with her son. (seriously, something worth reading has got to be coming up)

Anyway, before I knew all that I was telling them that a person from our theater group was in Hello, Dolly and I would love to see it but I just couldn't afford the tickets. (almost there. The paragraphs are getting shorter (although it seems that the commentary is getting longer) so it's got to be close)

So he turns to his wife and says "do you want to see Dolly?" She makes the frowny face and shakes her head, so he looks at me and says "do you want to see Dolly with me?" :o:o:D

(that was the exciting part. you might want to re-read it for the full effect, now that you know the punch line)

So Thursday evening (unless his wife changes her mind) I've got a date with another woman's husband to go to the theatah.

WooHoo!!

Well....all of a sudden, the plans have changed. Yesterday I stopped in my tracks outside one of our local art shops.....there I saw these big series of metal works, meant to be hung against a wall. I bought them immediately, not even knowing if they will lie flat against the siding, if they will completely rust within a month. . . ...

this sounds so neat. can't wait to see a photo

WooHoo!!

It was worth the wait Jess. What fun you'll have.

It's just beautiful here today maybe in the 70's or high 60's for sure.

went and did a garden tour and crocus's, winter acolyte and snow drops are up.

spring is in the air today and it's wonderful

Yes we are.

I was on a road trip with a guy who had goose bowels. It was the looooongest car ride I've ever been on. We had to stop every 1/2 hour or so, with very short notice. I tried to keep reminding myself that however annoying it was to me, it was far more unpleasant for him.

Although it was entirely his fault. (I've had two full pots of coffee, by the way.)

He had disrupted his normal functioning by consuming a 5 pound block of cheese in 3 days, and then tried to remedy the situation by chowing down on most of a bottle of vitamin C (which is a laxative).

He's now an MD in Florida.

I wonder what his position on vitamins is?

He was my study partner in grad school. We both brewed beer at home and on the rare weekend when we didn't have homework or tests we'd consume, oh, quite a bit of beer. He had been a hard core alcoholic in his youth and was still functional around three in the morning after we'd been drinking since 4 that afternoon. Eventually I'd pass out in the cat's water dish, he'd throw a blanket over me and his wife would wake me up in the morning with a cup of coffee.

Great times :unsure:

Well, this eyebrow-raising amount of beer consumption, coupled with his hyper-goose bowel action, does seem to support the celiac suspicion, duddin' it?

Hey all! Just stopped in to brag that it's 70+ partly sunny and I'm playing in the dirt! :D:D:D T-shirt weather for sure! Am draining the pond so I can replace the liner! Really want to do it on the cheap......but that's why it needs replacing this year. Figgered it'd last 3 or 4 years....and probably would have if the deer weren't so thirsty! Been transplanting plants away from the pond....man! Strawberry plants are already greening up. Moved them where I can keep an eye on them better (rabbits seem to like them).

Jess...pretty exciting about the date! Free is GOOD!

Em....can't wait to see your outdoor art! I love to go to art and craft fairs!! It' probably a very good thing that I work most weekends, or I'd be spending a fortune. OR I look at things and say...I can do that! Already have too many projects waiting for me to have time and ambition. Sooo many things I want to do. I need Readers Digest to hurry up and give me my millions!! :lol::lol::lol:

Here's to spring (clink)! Wish this weather would stay until summer :(

Pah-tay...I'm glad you shopped and no "goose bowels"! I seem to have developed a psychological thing with shopping and having to run to the bathroom. I can't seem to go into a Walmart without needing to find "the room" within 10-15 minutes! Maybe I need some hypnosis! :lol:

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

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
