I'm getting ready to start demolishing my kitchen, so I've moved the cats' food into the sunroom. Max objects to the move and has gone on a hunger strike. Lefty, in full support of his buddy, has gone a 'double portions' strike. :P

:lol::lol: Gotta love 'em!

Sounds like this'll keep you plenty busy!! Are you remodeling? Tearing out and putting in new? When I had my little house up north I re-did the kitchen. Couldn't afford to replace cabinets so I re-faced them. They looked pretty good...certainly better! I also tried my hand at building some cabinets.....they looked really good too...if you didn't look too closely!! :P Even the best boards from Lowes and Home Depot have warps to them. Have fun whatever it is you're doing!

Hi all . . . back from Illinois . . . was a good trip . . . much better than I was expecting.

And let me tell ya . . . my mom saved EVERYTHING!!!! GAWD, this is going to be quite a job. My hubby told me "You eat an elephant one bite at a time" and I responed wif "I think I chewed off a toenail".

My mom had bank statements from my grandmother who died 12 years ago . . . :huh: I found bank statements from an orgnization that she has belonged to forever that were dated late 60's early 70's. :blink: . . . and there seems to be those knee high pantyhose things included in everybox regardless of what is in the box. It is somewhat . . . um . . . entertaining? . . . you just don't know what you are going to find. I really thought most of the stuff would go to good will, but I had a very large amount of trash . . . I think she saved every Christmas card she ever got. Dad was in decent spirits most of the time and also entertained by some of the items we were finding . . . the most used phrase of the weekend "Why in the world would she save THAT??!!"

Jess . . . hope the job thing works out.

Em . . . Holy Smores I didn't realize your dad has been in the hospital all this time . . . hope he gets to go home soon.

Amanda . . . so good to see you and so sorry 'bout your loss but looking at your silver lining . . . it's good to know that you can get pregnant. Praying that things go smoothly for you next time.

Joodee . . . good to see you and glad you are stayin away from those cigs.

Bevel . . . meow silly girl.

all you foot people . . . I've got wide feet wif a high instep . . . really hard to fit . . . spend a lot of money on shoes that seem OK but after wearing a few times (and can't take back) decide that they're too tight/rub wrong.

Hi to Pat-Hee, Raychull, Suzee, Tea, Nik, Lisa (how'd the dancin' go?),Shroom (poor girl in a forumless abyss), Peter, and all the rest (on Gilligan's Isle)

Babysitting this am . . . should probably go check on them and kick them off of the Wii and make them play outside before it rains. (Um Jess, we've been gettin' yer rain. You can have it back . . . well not all of it)

jerseyangel Proficient
completely wiped. Forgot how intense interviews are.

I went to bed right before you came on! Glad it went well, I knew it would. ;) Great that you got to meet everyone, that sounds very positive.

I remember little of it, as I was just a wee babe . . . . . ..... <_<<_<:rolleyes:

<_<:lol:

Jack's Little League team won their first playoff game last night 7-6.

Go Jack!!! :D

I'm getting ready to start demolishing my kitchen, so I've moved the cats' food into the sunroom. Max objects to the move and has gone on a hunger strike. Lefty, in full support of his buddy, has gone a 'double portions' strike. :P

:lol: Max and Lefty :lol:

Jyah-gnutt! Great that you are back, and after a productive, not-completely-heart-wrenching trip. I think many people in our parents' generation were amazing packrats - - when my parents moved out of their house they had been in for 43 years, it was incredible what we were going through.......but no knee-highs! :lol:

I'm getting ready to start demolishing my kitchen, so I've moved the cats' food into the sunroom. Max objects to the move and has gone on a hunger strike. Lefty, in full support of his buddy, has gone a 'double portions' strike. :P

. . .....and our Lyle? Feast or famine for this guy?

Ooh....a kitchen re-do!!!!! Just the thing I love to sink me teef into. Be very thankful I live so far away! :P Can't wait to hear what ya have planned.....

Me too!!!! How exciting, Jyessss. .. .....We moved our entire kitchen from one area of the house to another six years ago. LOVED designing things the way I wanted 'em...the way they should be!

Yep, I woulda been callin' that pup Poop.

Or Feces.

Dem animals, don't try and mess wid der habits :o:lol:

Beware the kitchen remodel!!! :ph34r: Ours started off fine, became a wiring upgrade too, ended up raising the roof from a semi-flat to a pitched (rained when the roof was off in June--in CA!! :lol: ), ending up involving every room in the house because of all the leaks ( we continued to live in de house, all this taking six months!!!) Good luck :lol: and fair weather

Jahnit-- happy anniversary gal!! :lol:

Yer muvver!!!! :lol: You realize after they've gone how little you really knew about them. My husband's maiden aunt was the same way; I had the job of closing out her house and it reached the point I was afraid to open another drawer--postage stamps ripped off every letter she ever received, all packaging paper folded up neatly and saved for a rainy day, but all saved and stored in beautiful antique furniture :o

Nickerler and Tea, I am one of those too!! I only have to be in the vicinity, not even look at it, and Whammo!! it's broke. But I didn't do the 'puter, well at least not this time. I did it last time :o --found out that 'puters is teetotallers and did not like my glass of wine at all; but we cleaned it all out and they repaired it under warranty while scratching their heads how it happened :lol: :lol:

Lyle still lives in the bedroom, with his own private food supply. Have not yet managed to commingle the cats without one of 'em squeezing the pee out of t'other - all over my floor.

This list is heeelarryus, Jyanutt, in such a bittersweet way.

Your mom, I now know, was a wonderful, interesting woman. Boy, she was ready for anything! Don't know when someone is gonna come and visit who just needs to erase all of the answers in crossword books and do them again, or when one may need to know if August 23, 1982, was a Wednesday or not, or how often street names/directions are changed in the state of Illinois, leaving all current printed maps obselete.. . . . .... . :rolleyes::lol:

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
