The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Tis a loverly afternoon here. It's sunny and 27oC (80oF), and we are sitting out on the deck munching nachos & cheese.

The temperature has risen slightly, the sky has darkened and a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued. The wind has picked up, and I hear thunder in the west. We have taken cover indoors.

Wow, how quickly this spring weather changes, huh? I think you are now getting the storm system that passed through here earlier...it was 70 mile an hour winds, heavy rain, and hail a few hours ago. Run for cover, Peter!

Just got home from work. You would think that I'd had enough typing and computers whilst there, but nae--came home and logged right in :P I worked on an Excel spreadsheet all day to get our receivables more organised...blah, blah, blah. So boring, I'm putting MYSELF to sleep.

Your weather is coming here late tonight, POeter....we are supposed to get thunderstorms after midnight. We'll be hearing the cracking and rushing wind in the wee hours. . . . ... :)

Prufrock--Poppycock!!

And I have known the arms already, known them all

Arms that are white and braceleted and bare,

[but in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]

Hey! I do believe Eliot, in his very masterpiece, has spoken subtly of our Soooozle!

:lol:

Raechull! Sorry to hear you is down. . . . .....All right, so yesterday, when I was waiting with my dad at the hospital, after we'd been sitting for a while he suddenly said, "Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories". . . ......

:huh:

Good joke from yer Pa. My friend's dad used to say, "It's rainin' cats and dogs--I just stepped in a poodle"

Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk.

If you want to know why I'm down, it's this grand Michigan living. Every day I talk to people who have lost their jobs, their homes are in foreclosure, they are on food stamps, or unemployment. Or worse--they have a job that only pays about $8 an hour (me, for one). These are highly skilled workers, professionals, people with college degrees and families (including me). I try to help if I can, but that's not saying a lot. There's just not much beyond a kind word and a coupon, and some volunteering, that I can do--if Chrysler goes under, it's curtains around here.

So, I smile for people, try not become murderous when they push too hard, and pretty much find the humor in it. But, somedays are diamonds, some days are coal.

Well, that and, I'm PMSing. And the rats are gnawing on me tendons again.

Alright, enough. Whoa is we, blah, blah, blah--yaddah freakin yaddah.

How is Judy doing with the porch?

How is Suze doing with the post brandied cloves hangover? Sleep well, darlin?

How is Patty doin with the cheese? You must be beyond thrilled. Hats off to you for your commitment all these years to eating for your health. You are an inspiration!

Actually, all of you are--to me. I mean that :wub:

Peter, hope you have a sump pump and an umbrella.

Bev, wishing you big blue butterflies of happiness this May!

Emily, you make me aspire to write well again.

It's a really scary time..... . .. .. :( . . .. . .....especially in the auto industry. Thinking about you guys, Raechull.....Up here, Windsor has been devastated by the recession/depression. So many young families suddenly wondering how they are going to keep their houses, get their groceries....

Gah. Need to call my dad and tell him to make me larf. . . . ....

Ah...from "Rainy Days and Mondays". :rolleyes: Nuttin like The Carpenters when you pheel down.

Just got caught up.....Em--I did wonder about yer dad since I thought his surgery was to be done this appointment. Glad all is well and he's set to go in and have it taken care of. :)

My sympathies, Minimom :( The economy has been rough, and no place knows that better than where you are.

Judith got the paintin' done!! Hopefully you can just sit tomorrow and look at what a phine job you did :D

Has Soozle checked in? :unsure:

We took a lil ride this afternoon--went in a different direction in an effort to get familiar wif this huge place. Warm and humid--hair is gigantic :lol: It was sunny and sprinkling earlier--I looked fer a rainbow, but couldn't see one.

Stay dry, PeOter--and you guys too later, Emmel.

Had wine wif dinner--just one glass, though B)

Yeah.....before our.....what do I call it?.........nightmare?..........we were discussing how were we going to make it thru this summer. Brian's company supplies bearings to the auto industry and his job has had many cutbacks. It's been harder and harder for us to keep afloat. It's rather ironic that we may come out ahead after all is said and done.

Brian has a dismemberment clause on his life insurance, and when he told me how much they'll be paying us for his leg, I said, "Gee....I wonder how much they'd pay for the rest of you!" :P

Nice!......My DD bought one on e-bay several years ago. I once had a hearing-impaired student who was in orchestra...middle school....so I borrowed the violin and learned right along with him. Probably forgot most of it by now.

Do you play?

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.
