How pleasant and entertaining to wake up to a phlurry of posts from me sillies!!! :D

Mark and I went to Kohl's (sale on towels, I had 2 gift cards to use) last night after dinner and we stopped at Starbucks (natch) on the way home and the caffeine kept me up till 2 <_< Note to selph--don't do that again.... :P It had cooled to 95 by 8 o'clock--we're finding it's more comfortable to go out after dark.

It's so weird to me still that it stays so hot at night. I'll get used to it--it's just so novel this year. :rolleyes:

Leisough--sorry bout the garage sale :angry: So much work goes into setting them up and then to have a disappointing turnout ......bah! Have phun dancing today--no heels fer Brian!! :lol:

Nik--getting yer Sven on!! B)

Em, that par-tay sounds like such phun!! Can't wait to see some pics from that :P

Shroomie, me dear, take care of that elbow! Ouch :( We gotta get some of that sillie back fer ya :)

Soozle :wub: Such a rough time for you. Between the memories of last summer, the heat and the general warm weather doldrums.....I would love to read more of your thoughts if it helps you to write/get them all out. Do what you need to do to pheel better ;)

Sills--did you see me new pizza av?? I made that yesterday from a crust recipe I got from here. Phirst pizza wif CHEESE (real, melty CHEESE!!!) I've had in like 5 years :D Twas so freakin good :D HAD to take a pic to show youse guys!

However, Basenji's are suppose to be African barkless dogs and she is definitely NOT barkless. Also, I have never detected even a hint of an African accent.

Could she be... . . .Burundian?? :huh:

:lol:

Yes, Shrooooomie, that is rotten stuff going on with yer elbow. Take care o' yourself... .. . . ...

I would SO love to see an av pic of you with Farrah Head, as well as one of Brian in his stilettos. :lol:

The list of Nevers???

For me, I'll start with 'NEVER drink wine on an empty stomach'

That is a good one. Here is my current entry: "Never walk casually into a huge, private party of one hundred-odd Middle Eastern women in burqas as it seems more interesting than the party you are attending whilst wearing tattoos, a large red brassierre over one's lacy T shirt and blackened-out teeth".

Nope. Do NOT do this. I will not do this again.

:huh:

Hey psillies . . .. <weak wave> .. ...

Day3 of no coffee here. :angry:

Haven't gotten the tight headache I had last time I went coff-free, but unsure whether that's a good thing. :unsure:

Maybe if I were feeling some sort of withdrawals it'd mean something's changing?

Anyway . ..blah .. ...been wondering if I've become intolerant to something I've thought of as safe for years.

Better not be lemon juice, garlic or olive oil!!!

So, I've tried 2 wks egg-free, no change. Redbridge-free, no change. What else-free . ..bleh can't remember . .. . .

[the summary of all summaries]

Congrats on all the good things :) , sorry about the bad stuff :(

I miss mySELF. :(

Yeah, I miss me, miss the psilly-Pseu, miss the daily joy of spreadin' the psilly & uppin' da wackl .. . .....losing confidence that it can really come back. :(

Susie, I too knew that end of June = bad anniversary, & wondered how you'd be w/ it. Hope it's not too bad. :wub:

Hope you're ALL doing as well as possible. :wub: :wub:

HALLLLOOOOOOOOOOOO, PTAOUGHMGHMNUSS! :):)

Great to read your words again! Even though they are quite sad/frustrated/tired. Sounds like you've been free of almost all potentially offending stuffs. Almost... . . . . ....

Anyway . ..blah .. ...been wondering if I've become intolerant to something I've thought of as safe for years.

Have you always thought that tobacco is safe? I seem to constantly return to this variable when I think of you, Ptaoughmghmn, and your unrelenting sickness. Even if you are not intolerant nor allergic to the chemicals/nicotine, that crap cannot be helping.

And it may be the entire reason. :)

Dunno... . . . .....it almost seems like too easy an answer. . . . . ...

But I now know two young people who got their lives back by quitting smoking. Both were quite ill.

Thinkin' about you, friend. :wub:

Oh Patatughmn....it's so good to see you but not to hear that yer still in the midst of problems :( I would be happy to kick ideas around wif you--I had to do quite a bit of figuring out phood intolerances myself. Let me know if I can be of any help :) One thing that you want to consider is that it's probably something you eat often--like daily or nearly that often. It's so difficult to decipher sometimes.

Well... . . . . ....you canna really see our costumes in their full trashiness here. There were two shots taken of our whole bodies, both at the partay, and it was so dark in the hall that they are not very good. There were NONE taken of me after about 10 pm, when I took one of the bras, a big red one, that was hanging with underwear and socks from makeshift clotheslines around the ceilings, and put it on over my top. Don't even know if this is trailer-parkish (Jyaghnutt?), but I could not stop meself. <_<:rolleyes:

We are flying to Edmonton (Alberta - -4 hours due west) where we will stay with a dear old college buddy of DH's for two nights. Then we are driving to Calgary for three days, then Banff (dear gawd, I cannot wait to see the Rockies) for two nights, then north to Jasper for one night, and back to Edmonton for day ten.

The drive northward is right through the Rocky Mountains, and is apparently one of the most incredibly beautiful trips on earth. Cannot wait. .. . .. . .....

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

      @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.

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
