Fab dinner last night. Open Original Shared Link

Expecting an appallingly hot day today (ok, not as hot as Patti and Suze, but hey, this is Seattle).

Em and her family are very much on my mind this morning too. It's grey, drizzly, dreary here, a fitting symbol expressing the farewell to a man who brought so much light and laughter to the world.

African stew.....hmmmmm. Have not yet tried this (or heard of it), as there is a definate shortage of africans here in WV! :P Are they expensive? Are they gluten-free?

I keep reading about places being so abominably hot....send some up here!!!! We have not really had summer weather yet, except for a few days near 90. Lots of rain, though. At least the plants are happy. Mostly been in the mid 80's so far. My poor dad in NY is pretty frustrated as he has not been able to get the hay in! Makes one wonder about all of the talk of global warming. I'm sure it's real....just not "in your face" evident (yet).

Hope everyone is hangin' in there just fine. Sometimes I really miss youse guys.

Ditto . . . will be a long day . . . but the support from phamily and phriends makes it bearable.

I don't think I told you guys what Smackl said to the Catholic priest immediately following my Mom's funeral . . .

Father H. was moving down the line and shaking all of our hands and offering his condolences. He gets to my son and before he can say anything, Smackl says "You know why I'm not sad about Grandma Kate? . . . I know about reincarnation. She could already be back by now." I answered with "Don't you think she deserves a few days off?" and my older brother asked to see the Buddhist-Catechism book that we're using. Hubby was mortified. The priest was amused. And the crowd snickered and giggled.

funerals are so poignantly beautiful - I actually love them. They bring out the best sense in people, I think......and a closeness that we don't always have. :(:wub:

Hi all--just got back from our "pre-drywall" meeting w/the builder. Everything is good and so far on schedule--actually, dare I say it--a bit ahead of schedule :)

Hope all is well throughout silliville.

Wonder how Em's doing today.....

Oh--get this--we stopped at Starbucks just now and I asked about the V Orange Cake, expecting to hear that they didn't carry it anymore. (I phigured I could put in my 2 cents about how disappointed I was.....bla bla bla.) but to me surprise, they had several in the display case.

I said that I heard they were discontinuing them, and the girl told me that she/they at this location have not heard anything about that, and they get fresh ones delivered every day. I did order one, and it was perfectly fresh and delicious. Interesting..... B)

On day 36 of the Toronto civic employees' strikes, we are told that tentative agreements have been reached, and ratification votes will be taken on Wednesday. It will take a few days after a yes vote to get things back to normal. Cleaning up the mess will take quite a bit of work.

I hope Em pops by and lets us know how she's doing.

Picnic Pics pleeeze...

That's all, folks!

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms
