Awesome!!! I'm already learning how to do certain 'special' things so I can be a 'backup' person for when one guy's wife has a baby. Makes me feel good!

That's great!! I'm so happy for you

Way to go, Bun-Bun.

No time, except to ask Em and Bevel what makes them think I have hypoglycemia?? Not to my knowledge. It's just that my stomach always starts digesting itself if it doesn't have any food to work on, and then all hail breaks loose with the big bloat and stuph Don't have any of the classic symptoms when I looked them up

If I may butt in here What a surprise, right?

Shroom, I noticed when I was reading about yer reaction the other day that I think what I've been experiencing is closer to what you have. I used to get panic attacks back in the day before I knew about the Celiac, but they have never happened since and those were different. The last few weeks, I have had 3 "occurrences" of pounding heart, sweaty hands and feet, and chills right after. It lasts about 10-15 minutes and then I'm fine, save for being a little wiped out

All 3 times, I have had gluten-free bread and/or white rice beforehand. I first thought about hypoglycemia, but I had blood tests just recently and my sugar is always fine. I wonder though--and for you too--about reactive hypoglycemia. It doesn't show up always in regular testing, but does in an all-day test. Not eating can trigger it, as can alcohol, sugar (or foods that digest as sugar), and caffeine.

I dunno--just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm also very interested in what Em and Bevvie have to say

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice.

I think I immediately thought of hypoglycemia after your description of your symptoms, Shroom, because my head always seems to be there - - within the world of blood sugar issues. The classic symptoms of low blood sugar happened to you, if I remember correctly: Shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness.. .... . . ...and it typically happens when one has gone too long without food. Stomach issues aren't normally present, however, but nausea can be, as can tingling around the lips, general confusion and a hammering heartrate.

Because you had gone so long without food, and were experiencing some of these symtoms.. . .. . well, it seems to be walkin' and talkin' like a duck... . . ..

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

[Jestgar]

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Well, see, I don't get the sweaty hands and feet or the chills, but I am totally wiped out after because it can go on for 3 hours Howevah, coming home on an empty stomach and having a cocktail!!! Now that's not good!

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice.

It's not just pounding, it's erratic as hell, stopping and starting, and the pulses in my head are so painful

Yeah, I unnerstand you live in this world but I'm really not keen to go there No shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness. No tingling lips, no confoosion. In fact, it is exactly the same as the way I react after eating the high lectin foods (which give me the bloating)

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

I'm not quacking yet

Thanks for all your responses. It's just that when I checked all the classic symptoms none of them seemed to be me

You should be able to. From within the topic, to the left of the page navigation buttons is a blue button with an inverted black triangle. Click it and you will be asked to type a page number. The riotous phun starts at page 1700.

oh.....I see. They's just hiding it

Speaking of classic sillie moments, remember how we pulled off 100 pages in a weekend when Soozle was kween? Leesigh, as I recall, was instrumental in that one

That's what they've been talkin about, psilly! Page 1700

.....and it was Jan-knit's idea. However, I think I did pull night duty that weekend.

...or the yeti & the care bear

I think I came on the scene in the middle or towards the end of the yeti and totally missed the care bear

When my DD was diagnosed hypoglycemic, I started to realize I may have it too. I get all those symptoms. Now, I've had the tingling around the lips, too, but always thought it must be a food allergy, but never figured it out. I've been sugar free...including grains...for some time now, and have not had the tingling in a long time. Hmmmm.......

Quack

I gotta bond somehow, as the aforementioned no longer visits

Went to a gluten free pitch-in today The one that Jyan-knit couldn't attend this year

I need to thank her for keeping Skeeter away, cuz I got to win a food basket this time!

It's beginning to look like it

After Mark left, I was doing a lot of things like grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, leftover rice cooked in milk for breakfast--easy stuff since it was just me. In other words, I was falling back into eating more of the "white carbs" just because of the convenience.

Today, I had no grain at all...or sugar.... made a real dinner. Feel nice and calm I'm glad we talked about this!

[curlyfries]

I found JUDY!!!!

Wish we could solve everyone's problems that easily

[jerseyangel]

Yep Probably not solved, but more like "so far, so good". I've been living in fear for the past few weeks, thinking I was going to have a heart attack or something--and wouldn't have anyone to call. I wonder if this stuff is messing with my brain.....

[curlyfries]

Judith is here???

Well.....she was, I swear!

[curlyfries]

Her profile says she is currently 'searching'

WE'RE HERE, JUDITH!!!!!

Should be quite the conversation with our respective bosses on Monday.

So, Emily, how was your weekend? What did you do?

Me: Well..... . .. there's this forum, see.... . . .and .. ... .Ah, hell, you'd better sit down, get comfortable..................

There are these people, in this make-believe town, with names like Ptaughaughaughmmmmm........

<snort>

I don't think I ever read all these since my computer had been stewed a couple days previous to the event.

[Jestgar]

Isn't the canal frozen over this time of year? Won't you just bruise your @$$ landing on the ice?

- Susie's dash for the finish line page flip - Congrats yer queenliness!! . . . and now you're leaving us. (hey, everyone, think we can get another 100 pages in before she gets back?)

Jan-it's post that set it all in motion.

[Jestgar]

Just re-reading that was a lot of fun. We're all a bunch a' goofs.

[jerseyangel]

Well, tom's doing his part . . . if 10 of us can average 150 posts whilst Susie is gone . . . a mere 50 posts a day . . . . . . I think we need to recruit some more psillies, stat!!!

Jan-it breakin' it down

My, how very low the ptaumphoolery bar has fallen . . .. .

Just cause I loved it!

Somebody would probably report you for violating board rule #3:
