Geezlouise everybody......wtf????? There must be some sort of cosmic chaos in psillyville.....make it go away :( .

Have not done more than quick drive-bys to keep caught up. Psuessy....thanks for the message. What a horrifying time for Leezarrr! Hope and prayers go with all of them! Manda....how lucky your dad peeked in when he did! Your uncle's in my prayers too. It's sadly amazing at how much "professional care" will miss (not notice, not think important?). I used to clean houses on the side for many years....most of them older people. I have seen so much more than I wanted to in the lack of care in the medical profession. Makes you wonder sometimes......

I used to call my refridgerator *bitsch-hhhhh*....does that qualify for a nickname? I have named cars (but I guess that's not so unusual), hand tools, my tiller (harvey...don't ask me why, I dunno).

Wanted to say more.....but I'm having serious brain hiccups this am! Need to get my arse off to work, and I seriously don't want to go! Think I'm a bit down about this gloomy, cold/damp weather.....I WANNA GO PLAY OUTSIDE IN SUNNY-WARM! I think I'd even settle for rainy-warm.....any kind of warm....

"Till later phokes......keep on the PsillyPside!

Amanda, so sorry to hear about your Uncle. I will keep him in my htoughts.

amanda!!!!!! my gawd :( such stress........your poor uncle! So glad your parents are there to look in on him daily.....

So much going on in the 'ville this week - - lots of prayers coming from me, this I know. I have a deal with God.....just resumed it....I ask him to wake me up before the alarm clock goes off if he wants me to pray.......I don't have to set my alarm most mornings and, don't really usually naturally wake up until 8, roll into work at 9:30 or so.....

this morning, alarm was set for 7, I awoke at exactly 5 minutes 'til :) went straight to me knees with petitions for friends and loved ones, including all my sills.

somehow, though, I was a screaming beeoch by afternoon's end, a 9-hour day in which I was required to write someone's RESUME :angry: worst and most hated task ever....and they gave it to me at 4 in the afternoon........my boss KNEW I could go nuts - he tried to run over and hug me at one point and....I ran screaming out the front door of the building, and into the warehouse to get more chocolate........such civility and professionalism there :lol:

Where did Em go? Toronto? why? how did I miss or forget that?

      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...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      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!
