I have to learn a programming language. I'm doing the non-required but extraordinarily useful classes on line and what I've learned so far is that knowing English grammar is a disadvantage.

Hi everyone!

The squirrel baby didn't make it to the animal hospital, we were meeting the lady for the animal refuge at 4:30. The little one stopped breathing at 3:45. We buried him the back yard...We named him Tiny. He was so cute.

the story behind him...we had a squirrel eating away the siding up on our 2nd floor....we had no idea she had babies...and the baby fell out of the nest and we found it....and John put it back by where he fell so maybe his mom would come back....Saturday morning he was still there....and it had been a cold night..SO we took him in and got him warm and started to call around so he could get help. He was about the size of a matchbox car.....

sadly he is gone...but in a better place.

Good morning, Psillies!

This morning in our local paper there was a big picture on the front page of hundreds of Chinese people squashed together in the Yangze River, trying to escape the 40+ C heat wave. I was suddenly picturing our Sooooozle and Pahteigh's faces amongst them.... .

How about baby blue bra and panties? Really lovely, lingerie-type - - could be a late shower gift from someone, perhaps.... . . . . .

SILLS!!!!! Today, I took Janey for her cataract surgery, and whilst waiting, met the loveliest woman from Quebec.....we spoke for nearly an hour (broken French and English and....what in HELL is that accent? :unsure: She was correcting my prononciations, but, I have a perfect accent (my only talent), so I"ve always been told by Parisians, etc.........

Em - you MUST call me on the phone so that we can hash this out :lol: Chiennes - j'ai eu deux chiennes - I can't even tell you how she was saying "chiennes" - - - - :unsure: like "she-ayne" ?? when I have always learned "she-ENN-e"

:kind of a silent but pronounced "e" on last syllable, a gentle schwa, actually:

<rather certain everyone but Poeter and Slim Shady are bored with this discussion> :lol:

I am certain that the differences in prononciation from France to Canada are very much like what we have in the transition from Europe to the twangy South, but, I just don't have enough experience <in French> to discern?

That's it - I'm taking my babies and we are moving to trop chere Quebec for the rest of the summer ;)

This woman lives in - GET THIS - Chowchilla (after Palm Springs and Santa Rosa, nice areas) - - worst freaking Valley town EVER and people are moving there in DROVES - including a close friend of mine - to live on the golf course, in a tree-less, dairy-stink, flat, dusty town with NUTTIN' to do. Big horrifically ugly houses for 150K..........what in hell? :blink: And I do mean nuttin' to do there, just ask me mum, who married a man from Chowchilla (we pronounce it with a schwa - Cha-CHILL-ah, to make fun of it :ph34r: ) and told him, if we do not leave this town, I will dee-vorce you. They moved.

YAY! Mattresses everywhere! AND: we must bring respective dogs, cats and civckebs.... . . . .

:) yes, and squirrels, chillens, spouses. Going to be mighty crowded here. Must make sure everyone is quite drunk. *hic* :lol:

. . . but here is my squirrel news. I spotted him yesterday . . . a half albino squirrel . . . his tail is white and his body is probably a couple shades lighter than our regular squirrels (but not white) . . . talk about funny looking . . . and no, it's not paint.

um, we WILL need a pic of this mutated squirrel! and....is he stalking you? :lol:

      @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
