Buddy the truck will live for $440. Auto shop guy said he was really lucky he didn't damage it more. Should be out of car hospital today, just in time for 6 am football!

Glad the toe is gonna make it. :P When mine was growing back in, it looked like it was growing inwards, but it never did. It took forever, and was pretty gross, but it ended up fine.

The auto shop is quick--you won't be wifout it fer too long.

I feel so old! I have an appointment with a Podiatrist tomorrow. That just seems to me someone old people go to. I bruised my big toenail and it fell off after a long while. The new toenail isn't growing in right. Its like its trying to grow into my toe instead of over. I'm just falling apart!

You highness, please refer to this post. I bruise it every year in my ski boots. He gave me whY he called "toe condoms". They are little silicone covers that go on your toes. They help protect your toes by spreading out the pressure so it's not all on my nail.

Ahhhh . . . a new phrase for our psilly dickshunary.

Ckairenne . . . glad no one got hurt . . . and quite frankly, as bad as this sounds, that $440 price tag could have been a helluva lot worse, too.

Psillies!!! I have been called back to my former preschool position!!! Did I tell you that I volunteered to be layed off?? . . . can't remember . . . they needed to reduce the staff because enrollment was down and there were some people there that truly needed the job a lot more than me. Anyways, I volunteered to not come back and to work as a sub if they needed me to. Well, I got a call this morning that they could use me . . . although not for as many hours. The money is really pretty lousy, but I don't have anything else going on, so what the hell.

That sounds like a fun job. Also, sounds like they like you, so if any more hours come up, they will go to you. I am one of those people that actually like little kids, too.

Hey psills--I think I may have had a breakthrough. Remember when I was whining about shampoo and stuff--it seemed like everything was making me sick? Well, as you know I'm spending some time at Matt's. He does not have a dishwasher and uses the same dishwashing liquid I did--Clorox Greenworks.

Bear wif me....I had been feeling off for a while before coming up here--not gluten but eczema, fatigue, indigestion, nausea, dizziness (kind of), stuff like that. It dawned on me that I had been cooking for myself down there and using my non stick pan a lot (I was doing grilled cheese a lot, and thought my bread was making me sick). Then washing it out wif the Greenworks. Up here, I am the dishwasher and was using it for everything and was feeling worse.

The kicker--Greenworks is almost entirely from coconut :o I have known I was intolerant to coconut for years--to actually eat-- it but I guess using it daily on dishes was too much. Add to that, the California Baby shampoo and the special unscented soap I send away for also contain coconut--it all came to a head.

I just got a bar of coconut-free soap to try,

and have switched back to Palmolive dishwashing liquid. The switch to Palmolive made me better, but I was still dizzy and the eczema was a bit better, but not gone.

Since using the coconut free soap, and making sure I was 100% coconut free, I'm not dizzy and my eczema is actually clearing!!! I've been dizzy for over 3 months now, and along wif the GI stuff, I was getting really worried that something was up. It was feeding my anxiety and when that happens I just tend to go through the motions but worry under the surface all the time.

I know this is long, but I wanted to tell youse guys! A few years ago, I found out that I couldn't tolerate filtered water from my own fridge because the filter was primarily coconut hulls. I learned that here on the board. I wish I had been as diligent about coconut as I am about gluten on the topical use. Or maybe the sensitivity just got worse--who knows?

Anyway--woo-hoo :D

Oh Jan-it--she's still having symptoms? It's definitely tiresome to keep having to play detective with this stuff. :(

It does make me wonder though, how many people who have things like migraines and other unexplained maladies actually are reacting to something they are eating/using/have in their enviroment. I wouldn't have ever thought of these things in my previous life.....

I hope you get it figured out soon. ;)

Hub keeps getting them. They have him call and then say they don't need him and will send him a jury duty slip another time. I got called but I just had a baby or something and I think my response scared them off. Also, I registered as an Independent & that may have scared them off. :)

so maybe tell them your a pregnant Independant whose relatives are all thieves?

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

      @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.

      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. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

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.

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.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
