Emily . . . sweet shot of the snoozen poochez :D

OK . . . the Bob's Red Mill corn bread did NOT go over. I was really pleased with the appearance and the taste was fine (although I'm not much of a corn bread person) . . . but everyone thought the corn meal was too coarse. Hubby prefers the sweeter corn cake bread.

Sillies- well how to start--I am scared. I think I have a very masty sinus infection but it has the worst and scariest symptoms. 2 weekends ago I had this nasty headache- like none other. It actually stopped in my tracks and I had to lie down and take a nap- fort. it was a weekend. Small headaches all through audit week and so I attributed to the stress of it all. I had gotten the Z-pak the Thrusday before audit week for a sinus infection. So the Z-pak has been over for over a week now- going on 2 weeks. Last night while out with the friends another nasty headache came on and I almost went to the ER. I was almost in tears, it just kept pounding as if my head was going to explode. It took 3 hours to get it to a comfortable point. The headache radiates from my forehead and right down my neck. So today a small headache remains and the neck is stiff. I am trying to get a Dr' s appt tomorrow. The only thing holding me back from the ER last night was knowing it might go away before I was seen.....John said I was burning up so I imagine there is a fever---anyone ever have anything similar to this? I know it is not stress.....

I have other people in the last week tell me they have had similar things happen to them in the last few days....

Oh, dear, Amanda! How awful for you........I've been very lucky in the sinus/headache department - - never had any trouble in that area. I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I do hope you get into your doc tomorrow, and get some answers! Thinking about you.. . .. ...... :)

This sounds suspiciously enviornmental...... ......like toxic materials/mold/chemicals in the office you now work in. Have any co-workers mentioned this possibility?

Amanda, from what I understand, hospitals are the very worst (or best from the germs perspective) places for exposure to all types of germs, bacteria. I've known too many people who get "other" illnesses in the hospitals than what they went in for! I don't know of any remedy, except for lots of hand washing/use of Purell. Hope you feel better soon.

Pah-tay....so exciting getting to know a new area. 1st thing we did was to buy area maps to get around with......spent time watching ads and playing "find the store" to learn our way around (also "find the park, find the trails...etc). Maps make it so much easier. I carried them in my car for about a year :lol::lol:

Gotta go...I'm going to be late for work! :(

'Morning, Psills!

Didn't notice anybody else squiggling yet.....

I HATE squiggling alone. And I'm so rarely a late-night squiggler. . . . ...

:rolleyes:

Amanda, I hope you are better today. No more headaches! They sound truly heinous .. . . ....

Very interesting how our wee emoticons often switch positions in their little box. I've now got the Rollyeyes guy in the upper left quadrant, and he has regularly been in the middle. And the Unsure guy!! Why.....there is he is in the upper right quadrant, and he is often not even IN the box - - I must click on show all to get at him. He is one of my favorite phaces, and I do hope he stays there. Laffy guy's moved, as has gaspingguy . .. . .... yet ANOTHER new thing to deal with! Gad, how do I manage??

:lol:

Does everybody all have the phace order changes happening at the same time? Who does everybody currently have in their four corners?

Morning Sills :wub:

Snaugh, snaugh, and more snaugh in these parts. We got a blizzard last week that dumped aobut 12 inches in my area, more in others....then it melted pretty quickly, had a 64 degree day yesterday :blink: (that's Colorado for you) and woke up to more snaugh this morning, more on the way all week too.

But it's a GOOD thing as we have had the driest winter so far on record since the 1800s and they were talking about the big D word (drought)

Kansas?? :unsure: where's that???.....is it near Jools in Colarado???? ..is Jools snowed in/under??????????

Poor Kansas...yep Nik, Kansas is me neighboUr (and me second home, it's where me kinfolk are from ;) ). They got our storm but it stalled over em and they just got dumped on.

Has spring sprung in London yet?

Phunny thing--I've read about the Enjoy Life granola and how they've improved the recipe to good reviews here. The HEB here is a really big grocery store with a very decent gluten-free section. The EL granola was almost sold out! :P I got one of the last 3 bags on the shelf. I almost got 2, but I don't know if I'm gonna like it.

They were fully stocked on everything else in the dept, except this. :rolleyes: Good new travels fast :D

Hi Patti!

What a find on the EL granola!! I hadn't heard that about the improved recipe. I had tried i a couple times before but it ripped my mouth apart, something in it just did not agree with me.....darn multiple intolerances thing <_<

Last night I cooked a big chunk of beef (all night). Took it out this morning and took off the fat from the liquid (I cooked it in a bit a red wine - what else?).

A little while ago I threw some sweet taters, red bell peppers, pearl onions, garlic, and a can of tomatoes in to the broth. Figured I'd cook those up for a while, chuck the juice, and have a lovely bowl of veggies.

Very gourmet of you Jess :lol:

Sounds yummy!

Just gotta get Jack on the cheese grater. When he does this job, it is quite amazing how the big brick of cheddar goes down to almost nothing, and there is not a whole lot of grated cheese resulting. . . . ... <_<:rolleyes:

The case of the missing cheese....does Jack nibble a little too much while he works?!?!

OK . . . the Bob's Red Mill corn bread did NOT go over. I was really pleased with the appearance and the taste was fine (although I'm not much of a corn bread person) . . . but everyone thought the corn meal was too coarse. Hubby prefers the sweeter corn cake bread.

I think I have tried this before Janet, or maybe it was the cornmeal that I made cornbread with from scratch...but it was really coarse and made for a dry cornbread so I was kind of dissapointed <_<

I would try to get in ASAP.

Yes!!!!! This shiftage of emoticons drives me nuts!! :angry: Why do they have to rotate like that? :unsure:

Ah yes, the shiftage of emoticons....it really chaps my hide.

I get all comfortable with the layout and know where everything is in my mind to the point where I just click on my emoticon selection without thinking.....and then boom, SHIFT, they change it up and the result is the expression of an inappropriate emotion.

But why, Oracle POeter? Why?? Why the shift? What does this mean?

Why is Rolleyeyes number one right now for me, but this morning it was Mr. Unsure? Do these guys somehow know what's going on in our lives, and are simply reflecting our emotions as they are happening? Just before I began this post, I was smiling and shaking my head at Elsie and Gus, who were play-fighting outside.... . .. I was rolling my eyes.

Mygawd.... . . . ....

Something very big could be going on, here. . . . . ... :unsure:

Morning Everyone

Went to the Dr's yesterday-got a pretty bad infection, but my throat is swollen and red (never bothered me so I had no idea) and an ear infection which also hadn't bothered me. So now I am back on meds again-this time I am Biaxin. This is the first time I used this one. I just didn't want to go on the Z-pak again. I have been on it so much lately that I did not want to build up a tolerence.

Other than that everything else has been relatively quiet around here. Time to start me work.

Jess-any feline gifts yet?

'Morning, Amanda!

Glad to hear you're on new meds for this heinous thing in yer throat and ears. Imagine, not even knowing there was an infection in there? The way to be stricken, I suppose.. . . ..... <_<;)

Emoticons are as I left them last evening. . .. . ..

Bah.....they're toyin' with me. . . .. . . . :huh::lol:

WELL. Big plans are afoot.. . . .. ...we are organizing a huge 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY for my parents (can you imagine?? Sixty years married???) to be held at my place next weekend. Our entire family with grand-kids and great-grand-kids, and old friends of my parents.

Hmmmm......there could be several seniors drunkenly clambouring into the ho-tub. . . ...

As long as they are not naked. :blink:

There may be some interesting things at the bottom after THIS gathering.. .. . .

      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!
