Ah, Miss Mary is a book in herself.

Wow, Shrooomie... .. is she ever! How lucky all were and are to have Miss Mary in their lives.... .she does sound like an extraordinary, awe-inspiring woman! Like a character from Bryce Courtenay. .. .. ...have you read any of his novels? Miss Mary is there, in a number of his unforgettable heroines.. . .. .....:)

Just got back from the drug store. Went to the Shoppers Drug Mart that is further away than my regular haunt, as it has a bigger freezer section. I happened to hit EVERY red light (should have counted - - probably eight intersections). It was hell. I'm closin' my eyes again.. . . . ...... :rolleyes:

was only ONE night - - less than 24 hours, and eight of that was in the car with a WHINING dingo............drove me MAD.....sedated her but still she paced MADLY on the way down...........and, she could not FIND me in the house!!! :lol: :lol: would hear my voice from somewhere (three floors and also with outdoor living areas)............was the funniest thing EVER!!! she had a GRAND time........squirrels aplenty ;)

Poor Dingo-dog. Last time she was in a car, an evil vacuum attacked her & threw her out the window. No wonder she was nervous. I probably couldn't get Puppy back in a car after that.

And WHO is this Miss Mary - is she your aunt? sounds amazing......Bevel is right, we are going to be SPEEDING around wrecklessly when we is quite old ;)

Yeah, she is amazing. Just on Thursday she was talking about buying her granddaughter's car she left behind when she went back to CA. I said, Maary, what would you do with it? She (defensively): I've got the money! I CAN DRIVE!!! Me, Yeah, I'm sure you can, but safely? legally? She: Welllll, I don't have a license--do you think they would give me one? (Probably hasn't driven a car in 50 years! :lol: ) She has trouble cutting off telephone calls, but wants a computer because she is missing out on so much, and she knows it. But imagine, Mary and a computer!!! BWaHaHaHaHa!. If only she knew how we curse the darned things sometimes. Her love of a computer would last no longer than the first error message, which would proably happen in the first ten seconds.

Wow, Shrooomie... .. is she ever! How lucky all were and are to have Miss Mary in their lives.... .she does sound like an extraordinary, awe-inspiring woman! Like a character from Bryce Courtenay. .. .. ...have you read any of his novels? Miss Mary is there, in a number of his unforgettable heroines.. . .. .....:)

Have nae read any of his books, Em, but often contemplated them. At one point I decided I was going to write Miss Mary's story and even started taking tape recorders over for that purpose, but I was too late, unfortunately, as the stories became more and more rambling and circuitous and repetitive and just a stream of consciousness without any connections. I tried to transcribe and make some sense of it but it was a hopeless task. :( Sad, because she keeps saying, "I could write a book!" and if we could get it all together between us we could for sure.

Just push Alt and a number, and see what you get! You do need to highlight and increase the size, as they show up rather small.

Even easier, find someone's post that you like and hit 'reply', then erase the quote notations.

I'm using a Dell laptop and I have no "locks" at all except the caps lock.

There's sumphin here called "prnt scrn" on the upper right next to "insert" and "delete". :blink:

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

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
