Are you kidding me?? Balls with sauce?? I had to back away from the computer to keep from putting down something inappropriate.

Um... ........ . yeah.. ... ... ..I, too, was overcome with the possibilities, and backed dutifully away.... <_<:rolleyes:

I was actually telling DH about POeter's balls. We have met POeter and Jacquie in the flesh, but at the time the subject of P's now infamous balls never came up, and we never got to see them until the pic was put up here.

They're probably much more impressive in real life. If we ever meet again, POeter, please bring along your balls - - a photo, I just sense, does not do them justice.

:lol:

Holy crap... . . . . . ......in all the misery and ugliness of the horrific oil spill in the Gulf, I have just found a piece of beauty. Our national news station just had a live interview with Phillippe Cousteau, Jacques's son. who was offering his expert perspective.

What a sight for sore eyes!

THIS is excellent!!...if only I'd have had a camera with me over the years.......the best was the tin of gloss white paint thrown onto new carpet (splattering up couch & cushions). I think I could even laugh about it now :lol:

Mornin', Peeeeeps!

Yes, 'tis raining here, as well, but much needed. We've had no precip for weeks.. . ..... .me grass is brown and crunchy... . ..

Hmmm....the fascinating, ever-present Status Button. I have pondered this thing, and wondered much... . ... .... .my official Status is Neutral.

I suppose this is a good thing.

But I'm rarely neutral. With anything. <_<

And Phillippe Cousteau in a speedo.. .. ... .

I would NOT remain neutral on this. :rolleyes::lol:

Was Jacques Cousteau this beautiful??

Uh.. . ........ . ...... ..nope. .. ... ....

Maybe it's for the Celiac dating site: "single male seeking women." "Seeking a Felipe Cousteau type - must look good in wet suit." The possibilities are endless. Could also be to warn people of your mood - "grumpy today". " annoyingly upbeat" " not as funny as she could be"

M (14) has a MD appt for yearly check. Going to insist he have the blood tests for Celiac. Have printed the info page from Univ of Chicago Celiac Ct to explain what he needs. Neither boy has symptoms but it seems it's a good idea to make sure nothing is going on. I am optimistic that this MD will have a small clue about celiac disease.

Hope all goes well and the doc is Celiac aware ;)

My take on the status bar is that it's like Facebook, but we don't use it here. I've never tried, anyway :huh:

Had a really great weekend--Mark is phlying back as we speak :(

Yes, excellent possibilities.. . . .. . ....Hell, I am NOT simply neutral! I am married, middle-aged, a mother, an employee, of average height and weight.. . . ..... . . ..actually, that does sound fairly neutral, dunnit?.. .. ......<_<

Perhaps, this being a celiac site, the status button only relates to the disease itself.

Choices of Daily Status: Bloated, Flatulent, Itchy, Fatiqued, Flattened Villi, Healing Nicely.... . .... . :rolleyes:

Well, we all must try it!! Methinks we should all put "Psilly" as our respective statuses (um.....statii?)

Soon it will be over, Paghteigh! Mark won't be flying away anymore..... . just driving away to work for a few hours... :)

Gaaaah! Glad to be at work today, tis hard to give up my Mondays of quiet house and getting things done for a houseful of loud people who want clean laundry, but don't seem to want to let me do it <_< But, the kids were getting along sooooo well this weekend and for that, I am uber thankful. Hub and I got to go on a date Saturday night too, which was fun.

To a psilly, more wodka is defintely needed. :lol:

But of course!

Oh Jess! Is that the new oven you are getting for your remodelled kitchen? It looks great! ;)

:lol: :lol:

Ew! Rarely does anyone we would want to see streaking do it.

I'm having a craving for meatballs. :)

The Portland Naked Bike ride is coming up. Thousands of neked people riding all over Portland. Gads, can you imagine those seats :blink: My BFF wants me to go watch with her ;)

Are you kidding me?? Balls with sauce?? I had to back away from the computer to keep from putting down something inappropriate.

Well sumphin's gotta make 'em more appetizing for this vegetarian! ;)

I was getting tired. Can never have a relaxing day when Hub is home.

here here!!

I'm sorry!! I hope the rest of your day looks up!!

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?
