Quite right, both of you. I has been thru Fresno (but did not stop) but don't remember if 99 goes thru Clovis. If it does, I definitely did not stop. Was on my way to Springville and got lost in the orange groves trying to avoid going thru Porterville. I kept easting and southing, and phinally phound my way. If I hadda known that Soozle was in Clovis I would even have detoured, provided she had some mojitos waiting when I got there :D :D :D

We figure we'll be around Acadia National Park somewhere . . . I'm having a hard time navigating my atlas. There's a bazillion towns along the coast . . . all with populations under 1000 and everyone of them gets a dot. :blink: . . . I bought reading glasses . . . :ph34r:

great idea!

We did go to Acadia and it was WONDERFUL but I wasn't gluten-free at the time.

sorry. try to get to pass through Wells Maine.

We had some trauma on the trip and.....Weezee got kicked out of Sophie's mom's/uncles'condo :blink: there was screaming on the phone (from her mom) and a really psychotic attack - was very, very sad and traumatic (her mom is CRAZY)

WHAAAAaatttt?!?!?!? :o

Glad yer enjoyed it in the end :)

- OH!!! they took away all me many channels - no more HBO movies

OH now ---come ON!!!

T'would make a great scene in a movie methinks? :lol:

Got now't.... 'cept some random thoughts....

DaY 1 of 7 week school holiday

<make them go away!>

..have to take DC to get his fixed brace Wed, then the day after he has an interview at a college (for a part time course in Catering)

SO, I'm thinking

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

2) I should really consider getting him RE-tested for celiac disease before he embarks on a career in the food industry

:blink:

GADS - BRIDAL SHOWER?!?!

WIH??...do we have them in Blighty??

SO much organising for our Leesah!

Gad, I really do wish that I HAD made this up... . . ......quite phunne here, but I was not within a very......appreciative? like-humoured? laid back?? NORMAL???.....audience at the time. Trans-Canada, Trans-Vaginal - - same inflection, same number of syllables, same intonation... . . ....an easy, almost expected slip, wouldn't everyone say? :huh:<_<:rolleyes:

1) He won't be able to talk coherently at his interview due to the brace

Bah! Those college interviewers have to be completely accustomed to this, Nik.... .....methinks ALL teenagers talk sparingly, and in muffled, monosyllabic grunts -- should be nuthin' new..... . . ..

I heard me name being called and found me psilly at the same time- it's SERENDIPITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Methinks that life would be much more fun if we were all hammered :lol: (especially baby showers- all that OOH AHH.......blech!)

I missed my silly and MY PSILLIES!

Leesargh's got her psilly back- yes. Em, what WAS your MIL doing whilst you were away :huh: ? On the TVH? (trans-va jay jay highway) Or......having too much phun by herself :lol: She found what you had hidden in yer bedside table and tried to insert it in the mattress?

Gianknit- Cannot believe you had a convict story! :ph34r: Glad you are safe. YES! Gianknit's coming to Maine...so many ideas for you! It's so beautiful.......how long will you have. I'll email you but there are so many great places- must see Acadia National Park (Bar harbor is a wonderphul town too). You could easily spend a week there and still have more left to do (hiking, biking, swimming, going out on a boat or whale watch). Or you could do a coastal trip and hot Bar Harbor, the Camden area and Boothbay.

There is a gluten-free bakery in Wells- the woman who runs it made my wedding cake before I was gluten-free! Her name is Traci Anello but the Maine coast is big so you'd want to be mid-Maine which would be like Portland, LL Bean, Ogunquit. Shoot me an email and I can blather on.

:lol::lol: Well, c'mon, it's not like we're talkin' about an Masters in English er sumphin'. .. . . . ...

This is excellent, Jyess! You smarty-sciency-numbers-yuckystuff-pants, you! ;):D

You IS our resident smarty-pants anyway!

New Zealand is on my top ten list too Shroomie!

All right, I must recount to you all what transpired a couple of nights ago, the evening before MIL flew home. We were at the B and SIL's place for dinner, with in-laws literally everywhere.....

Listening along, I suddenly piped up, "Well, you must spend a lot of time on the Trans-Vaginal Highway".

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me

      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about  phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks
