If you remember, I sent this out via email a while back . . . but due to the subject at hand, it's worth repeating (plus not everybody's seen it) . . .

. . . and no, it's not about tortilla soup!!

Sherparding looks like it requires lots of alcohol & some great dogs. I think I shall become a shepherd.

That's some fancy schmancy shepherding! But aren't those sheep's phaces cute? :D

Is it just a co-inky-dink that the wee pic in Em's signature is of Leonardo Bah Vinci??? :o

I wanna be a shepherd too :P

One of Mark's drivers was in the office this afternoon and they all got to talking about Valentines Day and what everybody's plans were. Mark mentioned that since I have some "food allergies" we're limited in where we choose to go.

Anyway, the guys says--"gluten?" Turns out he's been having symptoms and his sister had been diagnosed with Celiac (or so he thought) at some point. Mark called me and asked if I would talk to him, and we had a really nice conversation. Evidently he was never told it's genetic and that he should be tested. I gave him the 411 on it all and also my email address. :)

Hey! Everybody wants to become a shepherd, now?! :huh:

'Tis fabulous!! We can all become a herding group....a shepherd tag team! But wait... . . . . there's this...... .

Apparently, I need to be ready to break the odd sheep's leg, carry sheep on my back, grow accustomed to smelling like wet wool, constantly be defending my herd from large predators.. . . . ...

How much does this gig pay, anyways?

Kehrrighn, simply take the picture out of any new frame you have just purchased (you know, the pic of the lovely frame model that is in there before you take it out, toss it and put in your own - - usually a lovely blonde woman in a fall jacket, smiling in a three-quarter pose, or a young child looking slightly off-camera), and put that up. I have several of them on my mantle. As a group, they remain much better-looking folks than anybody around here.. .. . . .... :huh::lol:

'Mornin', big O'ers! :lol:

I will be curious to hear what everyone else thought of those ceremonies..... ...non-Canucks, specifically. I found only two or three parts of it beautiful, creative and thoughtful... . . ...much of it would mean nothing to those who aren't Canadian (hell, even WE likely weren't understanding all of the symbolism)....and, I dunno.. . .. . ...we seem to always try so hard, but coming after that masterpiece in Beijing, I guess everything would pale in comparison.

And that 21 year-old young Georgian man..... .. :(

Mark and I attended a birthday party given by a Russian friend/co-worker of his for his wife back in Philadelphia. It was one of the most lavish affairs I've ever been to. When we arrived, the tables were filled to overflowing with wine, liquor, appetizers, fruits, pastries, etc. Then the courses began--about every 45 minutes or so a different one--meats, duck, lobster, on and on for hours. (I'm not kidding--we kept saying that this should be the last one...lol!) We wanted to leave around 1 AM and were told we couldn't because the cake had not come out yet! We did wait--and the cake was followed by even more fancy pastries.

Then, they sent everyone home with tons of food.....

I have never seen so much food at one party in my life--and the host, so gallant.....kissed me hand when he said hello.

Have a good time, Nik :)

Yeah, I went to a Russian (Easter??) partay once. The food was overwhelming and impressive (and high in fat), but just as well we had so much food, because the wodka kept hopping out of the freezer for "toasts", bottoms up, drink the whole glass :unsure: Seemed like every half hour there was another "toast" to somefing or other, and then sometime much later *I* had to drive everyone home. I am not sure what my particular qualifications were 'cept I got everyone home safely and did NOT get pulled over and breathalyzed which, on this particular occasion, is just as darned well because I had no business being on the road and I was young and foolish and knew no better :rolleyes:

:blink:

Everyone needs to take a cab to a Russian partay :rolleyes:

I didn't watch much of it. Put the tube on near the end to see who would be the final torch bearer. Gretzky would not have been my choice, but there you are.

      @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.

      @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.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
