Dance was nice.....not as many people as we had hoped, but there was another dance going on elsewhere in town that night. But moneywise it went pretty good, cuz there were also donations from people who didn't show......dance phobia or summat. :rolleyes: We'll be sending it all to Nathan.

a quiet, barpish hello, sills. :ph34r:

:lol:

Yes, Soozle is a bit hungover today. and just feeling kind of rotten (menses due today)

Had a lovely dinner last night with my "date." But please, don't buy the china for us, pholks. He really is going to be just a friend.

But it WOZ so cute, adn good for the old girls' ego - as he left he said something about having a crush on me for 25 years and finally going out.

"Oh! Bucket List!" I said :lol:

Sooooze, I DO wish that I lived next door to you.....I could just pop over and lend you my penii earrings for your date this eve. A very reliable, all-encompassing test for a potential suitor, certainly. Is the bloke comfortable enough about his manhood to be staring at its symbolic representation, hanging and jiggling right in front of him? You learn a whole lot, quickly, when you fasten these babies onto yer ears and head out on a first date..... .. ...

oh, IF ONLY!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Sorted!!!! OR make him wash in the most LUSH soap I bought today which is Shea butter and ginger

DAMN! I fancy myselph with this on!!!!!!!

"sorted!!!" :lol: crackin me up.

Yes, he did look at me strangely when I pulled out the orange Lion Balm.

Um - don't know if he smells good or not - don't care.

BTW he's on my facebook, so watch whatchoo say over dere ;)

HARRUMPH!! I have too much important stuff goin on to be bothered with laundry and stuff!

Ok Suz--up and at 'em! How'd it go? I just saw on the The Weather Channel about yer hot temps. Gawd.

:angry: 105 here today. Just completely heinous. the babies and I are staying indoors, watching bad movies.

They're all napping. Shhhhhhh.....

HI PETER!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, did I wake them?

*snackle*

I think I napped for about.......five whole minutes? was thrilled :lol:

I WANT ICE CREAM and CHOCOLATE. none here. BOO! I'm too much of a fright to go to the store and don't feel like fixing up. :huh:

I always wanted a Coke, a greasy cheeseburger, and chocolate chip cookies when in such a condition. With a handful of aspirin and all the shades closed for the day :greenbarfyguy:

Sorry he wasn't your dreamboat.

Now come on Nik, the forties are fab, really. It's the fifties and beyond that you should be askeert of. You is entering de prime of yur life. Enjoy!!! When you are forty you have ditched the insecurities, have got over the cockiness of the 30's and the insufferability of the 20's; this is your time--live it to the max! You are woman! You are invincible. :lol:

Nik, let's face it, honey--turning 40 sucks in a big 'cosmic scheme of things' sort of way. BUT, by forty you've been heartbroken, disappointed, disillusioned, knocked down, or fired or received any other number of life beatings and are fully immersed in the reality of losing your youthful ideals. I think you entered your prime at 30, so if you're not feeling the "I am woman, hear me roar" yet--you're probly not gonna. What you will hear are your knees, your hormones, your peeps saying "But you still look good" with that condescending look in their eyes. Just think, you're only halfway there and the fun hasn't even started!!!

Just messin' w/ ya :lol:

Actually, I agree--turning 40 is a rite of passage. Our generation seems to have done it with more youthfulness and vigor than any before--40 is the new 30, don't you know? At 40, I really don't care about all that 'stuff' that tormented me through my teens and twenties, and have faced the reality of the goals I still had to chase in my 30's. I am happy with who I am and want only to be the person my daughter believes me to be :)

But, I will harrass the heck out of you that day anyway, cuz it's just such fun!!!

Ah-h-h sills--it's cool and crisp here this morning :rolleyes: I have me winders open--it's so nice to turn off the a/c and have some real air in here fer a change. We're on the third floor, so we have needed to run it day and night.

Went to Pei Wei yesterday fer lunch (since they're a "sister" company to PF Changs, me phave)--they have a small gluten-free menu but the phood was good (sweet and sour chicken) and no ill after effects! :D How sad when the sign of a good meal is when it doesn't make you sick?? :lol:B)

We've run into a huge snag wif the house we're planning to have built :angry: They would have broken ground this week, but now it may be back to the drawing board......stupid developer :angry: Ah well, say la vee :rolleyes::P

      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. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      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.

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.
