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!

      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 🤔

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      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

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

      By catnapt · Posted

      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

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?

      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.
