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!

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!!

Correct--he came home Friday night and went back today. I've been through this plenty of times, but somehow this time is really hitting me hard.

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

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

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @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...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      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...

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

      By Known1 · Posted

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago.  As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.  I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items.  Both were purchased from Amazon. 1.  Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2.  Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin with Bromelain Vitamin C and Zinc Between those two, I am ingesting 2000 IU of vitamin D per day. Best of luck, Known1

      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.

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.
