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!

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.

MD was very agreeable. Looked at my printout and said he wasn't certain that the panel ran the total IgA so he would write it in. Nice to find a MD that is knowledgeable and pleasant.

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.

:(

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?)

I put "tired" on my status but will promptly change it to Psilly.

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 ;)

I would not leave my house if I lived in Portland on that day! Close the shades! How un- appetizing. Not craving the balls and sauce now.

So last year, my son's BFF had a birthday party at a really nice and popular park in yuppy-ville Portland. When we get there, the kid's mom comes up and covertly tells us that the neked ride is today and they've been coming thru the park all morning! Well, we were all on the lookout so we can preoccupy the kiddos and saw nothing. We leave the park and low-&-behold, at the 1st roundabout, there are about 6 or 7 neked men sunning themselves on the big statue! I'm like, "Max, what's that over there??" (opposite the men ;) ) It was crazy!

OMG.. . . ..running naked is bad enough.. . ..biking naked?? Um.. . . . ..it must.....HURT. Regardless of one's sex...but men in particular.... . . . ...

At least I wouldn't be jiggling and bouncing along as I would be if streaking.

Just swaying, I suppose. . . . .... <_<

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

:lol: :lol: Lotsa gluten-free sauce!

He could zip up my wetsuit any time!

Yes. He could UNzip mine. . . . . .. . .he could explore my unchartered depths... ..... ..<_<:lol:.. . . . Man, I do wish we'd break a big gas pipeline on one of our neighboUrhood streets er sumfin'-- perhaps he'd come and do a story... . .. .

Well, speaking as we are of tight-fitting apparel, Miley Cyrus' outfit at her Saturday performance in Lisbon seems to qualify. :ph34r:

Its Tuesday, which is usually our day off, but we are going into the store in a while. This gives our Tuesday worker a short day--we are going away at the weekend, and the part-timers have to cover Friday through Sunday.

Homemade gluten-free pizza for supper after work. We just baked a batch of crusts which are cooling as I write this. :)

Just never thought of it this way, but really the toppings are fine.....I use olive oil, pecorino romano, garlic, and mozzarella. Maybe spinach....now me mouf is waterin fer one :lol:

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get cal...

      Hello, @NanceK, I'm glad you're willing to give Benfotiamine with B Complex another go!  I'm certain you'll feel much better.   Yes, supplementation is a good idea even if you're healing and gluten free.  The gluten free diet can be low in B vitamins and other nutrients. A nutritionist can help guide you to a nutrient dense diet, but food sensitivities and food preferences can limit choices.  I can't consume fish and shellfish due to the sulfa hypersensitivity and iodine content, and dairy is out as well.  I react to casein, the protein in dairy, as well as the iodine in dairy.  My Dermatitis Herpetiformis is aggravated by iodine.   Blood tests for B vitamin levels are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change to show a deficiency.  I had subclinical vitamin deficiencies for years which affected my health, leading to a slow downward spiral.  Because the B vitamins are water soluble, they are easily excreted in urine if not needed.  It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.   Wheat and other gluten containing grain products have vitamins and minerals added to them to replace those nutrients lost in processing.  Manufacturers add cheap vitamins that our bodies don't absorb or utilize well.  Even normal people can suffer from vitamin deficiencies.  The rise in obesity can be caused by High Calorie Malnutrition, where people eat more carbohydrate calories but don't get sufficient thiamine and B vitamins to turn the calories into energy.  The calories are stored as fat in an effort to ration out diminishing thiamine  stores.    It's time to buy your own vitamins in forms like Benfotiamine that our bodies can use well.   Not sleeping well and fatigue are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.   I'm certain Benfotiamine with a B Complex will help you immensely.  Just don't take them at night since B vitamins provide lots of energy, you can become too energetic to sleep.  Better to take them earlier in your day.   Do keep me posted on your progress!

Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!
