The rain is just coming down, and the temperature is hovering around freezing. Yuccch. I'm gonna stay indoors for the night.

A quiet night in sounds comforting. I've got some cheese and I suppose that Jess has some red wine to complement it. PARTY! Um, Jess, no tapioca tonight, eh?

Good Morning, Psillies!

Morning Sillies-

Susie your post---all I can say is Wow--I am speechless.

What a nice weekend the weather was amazing, I enjoyed my time with the family, although my sister flew off the handle more than once- she blames it on pregnancy hormones but my mom insists that its just Tammy's nature.

Funny story- Friday night, my cat comes tearing through the house--he is prancing around, yes he struts quite frequently...so in our living room (which you walk right into when you come in the house) it is a big great room. We have a single window at the bottom of the staircase, and two double windows at the front of the room with look onto the porch and another set of doubles which are on the side of the house behind the couch where I was sitting. I see Lucky jumping from one window and then back to the kitchen....meowing...which is not out of the usual for him, he is very talkative at the new house. I assumed he wanted the window open since it had been open in the day time since it had been warm, but by this time the temps got cooler and we had shut the window. So he gets back into the window that face the porch and I hear him smacking the window--so I get up to see what he is doing since he was not yelling. I assumed there was a bug he was smacking at. Imagine my surprise when I go to the window and see this snowball white cat sitting on the porch right in front of that window looking in at us....my cat never hissed or anything (i am surprised!) So now he has visitors... :)

I got my hair highlighted yesterday by my coworker and I love it.

And I made black bottom cupcakes last evening as well. I got this recipe from Williams Sonoma and all I had to sub in was our allpurpose flour for the gluteny all purpose flour and they turned out great :):)

The world's biggest snowflakes are pouring down outside my living room window.... winter wasn't the LEAST impotent this year!

It had been raining all day, but the snow is actually sticking to the lawn, that's pretty intense. It won't usually stick when the ground's so wet.

      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/

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
