I'm in a good moment right now, so I take these little pockets of time and do the things I need to do (help my mom with the financial stuff, eat something, try to exercise the dogs). At the top of this list is talking to you guys.

Thank you so much, dear buddies, for all the support you have given me. I will be okay because of friends like you, and the family I truly cannot believe that I have.

I think I won't be staying good for too long right now, so here is a clip of the memorial service - - an event was just what we wanted. Click on the button below the screen on the right that says something about "Memorial".........

Um, the camera puts on ten pounds.

And it makes one's hair look ridiculous.

AND I did NOT have the zit that appears to be on my chin.

Em

What a beautiful tribute to your beloved Dad.

Watching it I kept going between :(:):(:rolleyes:

I would imagine your emotions are and were doing the same .

I so enjoyed seeing the clip of the celebration of life and getting to see you & your Mom and Sister.

I'd checked out your links before but NOW I REALLY remember seeing him on TV when I saw the clips of him with the mustach. I so enjoyed that show.

I hope you will take care of yourself as you go about these next few days and weeks. It was great to see you post.

many HUGS...........DEAR SILLY BUDDY.

Hi Em: love :wub: and {{{{hugs}}} to you.

Thank you for taking the time to share with us a little of the celebration of your dad's life. I had never seen your dad before, but from just the short clips shown I could see that he was a very special person who will be greatly missed. Incidentally, you looked great!!! Take care, luv, and enjoy the time with your family; it's times like these we really appreciate 'em.

A lovely tribute. If you watch carefully, about half-way through, Emily's children pass through the picture on the right-hand side--Sophie phirst, with Jack right behind her.

I had to go back and look . . . I had noticed Sophie but had failed to see Jack right behind.

Very Nice Em . . . and there's no doubt that he's passed on his sense of humour . . . thank you for sharing.

Morning all, peeps . . .

sorry 'bout them glass-filled fudgecicles, Bev

FIL and step-MIL are due to arrive on Saturday. Somebody needs to come over and clean my house!!! Apparently, nobody here is going to do it!!! This is why I had children!!! so they can clean my house . . . I have to tell you that when I was a kid, I actually thought that mom and dad had kids so they wouldn't have to do dishes or clean the house anymore.

Did youse guys know that chickens pant?

Cats are furious with me for making it so hot, but too limp to do anything more than a pitiful mmmmooowwl when I walk by.

Our overnight lows are what our normal highs should be. And yes I know it's hot lots of places, but keep in mind that people don't have air conditioning. Many business don't either. Our buildings are designed to garner heat (black roofs and such), not repel it.

We're just not made for this sort of thing up here.

AANNNDD conversations have become incredibly dull. "Did you have a breeze last night?" "What's your house like?" "I'm too hot to do anything." "Can I just stay on the ferry all day?"

One of our ferry crew admitted she took a cab home -her house is a 7 minute walk from the boat...

I know--I was thinking how lucky I was because at least here everything is air conditioned and although it's oppressive outside, it's easy to escape it and be comfortable. Youse guys have to be absolutely wilting. :( And the poor kitties wif their phur coats....

I grew up in central NY, and it was kinda that same way back then--unless you were rich, you didn't have A/C at home and gawd forbid, in cars. It got really hot maybe one week out of the year, and that was quite enough.....we lived in a small ranch house, and at the beginning of every summer my parents scrubbed and painted the garage floor.

We ate dinner out there, and us kids slept there on cots and lounge chairs. :lol: We had a screen across the overhead door opening, and it was at least 10 degrees cooler there than in the house. It was attached to our kitchen by a doorway, and while it sounds awful, it was our "summer room"--complete wif portable TV. :rolleyes:

Can't believe I just admitted that :lol:

Must be the heat.

      @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
