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?!?!

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?

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.. .. . .

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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.

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.

      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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
