tell me how wonderful Temecula CA will be for me.

umm...it's easier to spell than Philadelphia?

Yes- Bevel is a wee bit sad. saw my PCP today and she thinks I might have Addison's Disease (autoimmune adrenal insufficiency- great!) :( JFK had it so at least I'm in good company!

Well hell.

At least it might be one more puzzle piece towards becoming whole.

*Snicker*

Well, I had a perfectly beastly day, and was planning on boring annoying regaling you all with the details, but on the boat home I met up with one of my friends who's fabulous at trouble shooting, and while she didn't make my problems go away, she gave me a whole 'nuther perspective on it, and I think I can actually face the day tomorrow.

Hi Jude! I've found that the very hardest part of moving was leaving my gardens behind. I survived selling my house....my furniture and my junk.... but the gardens killed me. (I DID, however, bring along buckets of irises, peonies and other assorted bulbs <snickerbehindmyhandface>) I think I miss my gardens as much as I miss my family members (just don't tell)

I'll play catch up again tomorrow. Later

THANKS THERESA.

GLAD SOMEONE GETS IT BESIDES ME

WHERE'S PATTI TONIGHT

HOPE SHE GOT THROUGH THE FOG THIS AM.

Let us know if you need us to help pick out houses . . . you know how we like to stick our noses in other people's bidness . . . but look how good of a job we did with Amanda!! :lol:

you guys did a wonderful job house hunting phur me! We be loving that house!

Paddeigh you made it!!!!!

Judy--I am saddened to her about the move but it will do you so good :):):)

Me is thinking I smell all my PA sillies have jumped ship---* lifts her arm to sniff the air* You know guys I did take a bath this week and it hasn't been that hot out!

Can I interest any of my sillies in other parts to move to PA and be my neighbor--I am trying to think of some local highlights--hmmm we got a nuclear plant in the backyard that is defective...but hasn't had any problems since the big 1975 mishap! We have Amish goods! We have hmmmm...drawing a blank now..... I promise a good time!

Anyway-the audit is over so hell is over!!!! We passed wonderfully!

Ok-so here is the smack in the face--my coworker and I did a lot of the work for this audit as did two others besides us. This morning there is a card circulating through the office and it has a 50 dollar applebees gift card in it for a different coworker---the rest of us are quite mad by this--we all worked so hard- you shouldn't reward one and not the others-and if you do choose to do so do it without letting everyone see it. It is as my coworker described a smack in the face. How would you all feel?

Ok two jokes:

Revenge is Sweet

There once was an old couple who had been married for thirty years.

Every morning the old boy would wake up and give off an enormous fart, much to his long suffering wife's annoyance.

"You'll fart your guts out one of these days," she always complained.

After a particularly bad week the wife decided to have her revenge and got up early, placing some turkey giblets in the bed next to the old boy's arse.

While making breakfast downstairs she heard his usual morning fart reverberate through the floorboards followed by a scream.

Twenty minutes later a rather shaken man came downstairs.

"You was right all along Missus," the old man says, "I finally did fart my guts out, but by the grace of God, and these two fingers, I managed to push 'em back in!"

Needs Sample

An old man goes to the doctor for his yearly physical, his wife tagging along. When the doctor enters the examination room, he tells the old man, "I need a urine sample, a stool sample and a sperm sample."

The old man, being hard of hearing, looks at his wife and yells: "WHAT?"

"What did he say? What's he want?"

His wife yells back, "He needs your underwear."

Uh huh. Yeah, he wishes. <_<

JUDITH- HOLY Temecula- I missed the town name. Oh..so beautiful! I spent a semester at San Diego State ( we used to have an exchange program with them- more like a beach exchange!). I went up to Callaway Vineyards in Temecula for a day with a group of friends and it was MAGICAL.

We got wine, cheese and crackers (pre-gluten-free) and climbed up a very green hill and had a 6 hour picnic! By the end the two guys with us were streaking through the hillsides (mind you, I was 19 at the time!). It was one of my favorite memories!

Um, we seem to have overlooked the fact that Bevel was running NEKKID through vineyards in Temecula. :lol:

BEVEL!!!!!!!! Addison's too? well, Jess is right, maybe the missing puzzle piece that DOES make it all whole, praying this is so!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Bevvy :( sending love....

Love the kitteh hijinks! Once had a cat who loved bread, of all things. Sneakers......(his name) would tear open the wrappers if I was foolish enough to leave it out..and chew away! When I was young, we had a cat who LOVED gum! He'd fish it out of my sisters pocketbook.

:lol: they are such interesting, capricious creatures. Last night I spotted Kit - he had grabbed a strand of pearls off my jewelry table - was dragging them behind him, running with them in his mouth.......just no telling if i'd ever see them again had I not grabbed them. :lol:

Bev's wants to be a phallologist . . . . I think you can take classes for that at Ball State University . . . but there will be lots of testes before you reach your climax goal . . . a degree in phallology.

brilliant, gianknit *snort* :lol:

      @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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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.

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

      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
