Well yes, but also one of the few sun spots that doesn't have the Euro.

The pound is really weak against the Euro and it would end up costing too much :rolleyes: (we are not really cosmopolitan, - we are in fact poor...but SCHHHHH!!!!)

Poor guy, he just hides under what furniture is left after the sale

His eyes look like he's not IN THERE :(

WISH us luck please he gets this new home with a middle age couple who lost a 17 year old kitty to diabetes.

Mornin', Psillies!

Wow, we are getting a week's stretch of oppressive heat and sun.......no rain........unbelievable. I think I've forgotten what that is like. . . ..... :rolleyes:<_<

Amanda-------we could drop him off :lol:;) -just kidding

((((((gasp))))). . .. . . . ....WELL?? Why not?? Amanda, how far ARE you from Jooooodie? I forget where your new house is... . ......close to your last place, methinks...... . ....and not that far from Jooodie's! Gah! Yes, Velcro could be dropped off on the way outta town (or even if it's NOT on the way)!

There! I've planned everything! Amanda, we all want you to be the loving new owner of our Velcro.. . . .... . .! ;)<_<B):rolleyes:

Got another letter from J 3 (the 3rd tallest of all the Jack-derivatives, so this is his camp moniker) :lol: ... ... . ..One of the boys snores like a jet engine throughout the night, so Jack isn't sleeping. The offender isn't close enough for Jack to kick, so there's no easy answer. I said that smothering is not prudent. He is stuffing li'l wet wads of paper in his ears, and told me he was planning to stuff same (only considerably larger) in the offending lad's mouth. I'll wait to hear... .. ..

:lol::lol::lol: Only you Brits could come up with somethin' that heelarryus.........

Must say, I have some insider info - - apparently, The Ripper should really be J4, but when the counsellors had them all lined up and were measuring for height, he carefully leaned forward and lifted himself up onto his toes, just enough to boost him above Jackson, who he says is about a half-inch taller than he. :rolleyes: I guess for eleven and twelve year-old boys, every competitive millimetre counts.....as Jack explained, "I just HAD to be in the top three. I just HAD TO!!"

He has been subsequently brushing his thick, wavy hair straight up in the air every morning - -an attempt to carry on this ruse of being third-tallest.... . . .. .

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
