Don't think any of us want to be here. Weather nice today 82 no humidity. Weather man just said "Heat and humidity return for the Holiday".

I'm sure if you go the the American Embassy near you and explained that this was a Psilly emergency you would be given an immediate Visa.

Do you need a visa? Just show up! Come to the 4th of July parade on Bainbridge. I'll be marching with the theatre group, somewhere between the fire trucks and the boy scouts probably.

:lol: knick-knacks :lol:

Been phollowing all yer summer phun banter--been busy today wif photographer ....the new realtor really knows what she wants. It was like a movie set in here. B) She's all about the right "angles" and "wide shots" and "the right lighting"--a real phirecracker, that one!

Jan-it, when I called Johnson and Johnson to make sure about the baby shampoo, I found out they are going to be introducing a new "naturals line". She didn't have much info, but it should be in stores soon and then they'll have gluten info and such. She only had info on the lotion, which is gluten-free. Thought you might want to phile that away in case Skeeter has to switch at some point.

I'm thinking maybe on the order of California Baby? But easier to find.

Actually, around here it a Visa, Mastercard or American Express. As long as you have one of those, I'm sure my city would welcome you.

I realize I'm coming in late to this conversation (stupid job) but I have a few ideas! Patee, are you sensitive to coconut? If not maybe try the Tropical Traditions website. I have a handpump lather soap that has one ingredient- saponified virgin coconut oil. Seriously. Not that I would use it on my hair regularly- I did try it once, gave me tangles you wouldn't believe. But they have lots of different kinds of products that are really icky-chemical-free. They even have a shampoo bar! Also just the one ingredient, if you want it unscented. The only scents they use are essential oils, so if you tolerate those you might be able to enjoy a scent.

Also, with the California baby, make sure it says unscented, because they tend to put smells in everything else. My 'calming' face lotion has a rather strong scent, actually.

There was something else I was thinking of, but I can't remember since I can't go LOOK! Fireworks are coming!!

By the way . . . wanted to thank everyone for their birfday wishes whilst I was gone . . . and no, it's not my real birfday, just like it's not my real name over on daBook. Also, I'm not in my 40's . . . I'm . . . :huh: . . . 23 . . . :rolleyes: . . . yeah, that's it. I'm 23.

Trash day . . . prepare yourself . . . had lots of rain and raccoons in my (large) bird food bin . . . big time nastiness . . . :greenguy: . . . I put the whole thing, bin and all, into a giant garbage bag and stuck it in our trash can. Still left a trail of putrid slime and maggots. The smell was gagulous. Had to clorox the trash can.

We are trying to fit in a few days in LA to go to Disney & Catalina Island. J (17) came up with this idea: We should be able to go to the front of the lines because I have a "disability". I said that it doesn't effect my ability to ride a ride or stand in line. He said we have to get the ride seats/cars wiped down before I ride incase some kid had crumbs on his fingers. That should get us to the front of the line. B) Always looking for a way to beat the system.

      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.

      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...

      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.

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

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
