Pheel better, Nik! Hip pain ain't phun :( Could it be yer sciatic nerve?

Sounds like it might be the nerve. Shall I send thee my hot chiropractor?? ;)

I think I'm still hungover from the pure exhaustion that followed Max's party on Sunday. (and maybe a little from the Barn-Bash event we went to on Saturday night..... :P) We're having another party this Sunday for both kids' birthdays before we leave for Hawaii. I soooooooo need Hawaii!!! The party was a lot of fun, everyone seemed to have a great time. It was our anniversary too, so Jesse took me out to the #1 vegan restaurant in Portland. It was utterly PFAB!!! I want to eat there every day!! Less than 20$ total for 2 dinners, an appetizer, 1 large beer and 1 really large latte--can't beat that! I am at work now, relaxing :P Sad that I have to come to work to relax..... But I get paid much better than working my arse off at home! :D

Well I got 2...........Thanks moderator Pattilaugh.gif

are you open for more questions?

Thanks Judy. We live in Kansas City. Before kids we lived in Sacramento & Wash, DC.

I'm packing a loaf of bread and will hit a grocery for cold cuts and fruit. Figured I would bring that to Catalina and anywhere else I might need food.

The boys want to go to a beach. One wants to try surfing. I'm going to check the internet & see what I can find. Are there any beach areas that have a boardwalk like Santa Cruz? Rides, games, junk food, stores full of cheap stuff?

Thanks

There is a gluten free bakery by my son's work. Will try to find out the name.

Whole food and Trader Joes on W coast are great places to find gluten-free meats.......like applegate etc.

don't know about the 'board walks'

Jim DH says you can probably surf at Seal beach or Hunington Beach

I know Venice Beach is a 'funky' place they might like, but keep them on a tight leashlaugh.gif

Have a great time

will copy your post and sent to him.

He lives around the Hollywood area and think the bakery.....ummmm...is in Studio City

I had a test yesterday, the play is over, I have a coffee blind date tomorrow, and I'm trying to figure out how to shampoo my rug before I leave for Spain. I need to hire someone to live in my house and wait for service people for me.

and I just watched double rainbow with the rest of the people in the lab. It was fun.

Too much drama at our house. . . it's been building for days as this day has gotten closer and closer . . . it's now all over.

Anybody here remember my topic on Smackl and his fear of needles/med procedures . . . way back when . . . years ago??? Today he had 4 (permanent) teeth pulled as required by the ortho. Smackl wouldn't let them use laughing gas . . . and he wouldn't let them put in an IV . . . this was without me in the room because apparently, kids usually do better when the parents aren't in there. They came and got me (it had been long enough that I thought they were actually done . . . I didn't realize that hadn't even started). The oral surgeon said he wouldn't do it and Smackl would have to go to the hospital and be put under a general anesthetic (which sounded even worse to Smackl) so I asked if they would try one more time with me in the room and he straightened right up and did just fine . . . OS was muttering they should have got me sooner.

Smackl is doing just fine and back on solid food . . . he wasn't allowed to have solid food until all of his numbness wore off.

Jan-it, I'm glad the Smackster got through it ok--poor kid. I have a kid like that--scared to death of needles--they actually still make him pass out to this day.

Phingers crossed--the house is under contract. Option period ends on Tuesday.

Uncle ray intervention needed:

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."

"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?"

"When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees.

"Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"

She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."

Tee hee....luckily he's on a roll tonight as my phunny is tired- I like this one better:

Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy.

He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step.

As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump.

A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding.

He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.

She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"

Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"

"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror. :lol: :lol:

Gianknit :( on Smackl- poor little guy (and Mom!). Glad he's better now.

Well, I was offline for a while yesterday and today. I was engaged in an urgent project to help ensure my dentist could afford his next new BMW, :(

Sometime early last week I bit too hard on something, and developed a pain in the teef on my left side. By Thursday, it was getting bad, so I promised Jacquie that I would phone the dentist on Friday. By the time I called, they were closed early for the (in Ontario) long weekend. I called on Tuesday, things were tight, so could I come Wednesday (yesterday). Dr. B. is away this week, but his associate can see me.

So, I go in yesterday, and meet this associate for the phirst time. She looks carefully, takes a picture and a digital Xray, and says that she thinks the toof is cracked under the ancient amalgam philling. Won't know for sure until the old philling is removed. Don't have enough time today. We set up an appt for today expecting two hours.

Today I spent almost two hours in the chair, and now the amalgam philling is gone and replaced with a porcelain inlay. It was a big philling, and there was a major crack under it, so a big chunk of the toof got drilled away. While I was waiting for the machine to mill the inlay, I waited and read. It felt to my tongue that there was almost no toof left--just a shell around a big hole.

The freezing wore off hours ago. For the third time. The first was half-way into the drilling, and the second was when she went to install the inlay. Apparently, for me, it only lasts about 30 minutes. :o

So, we had tacos tonight, and I ground away on the left side with no troubles. :)

But I think I made the first payment on his next BMW and then some. $$$ :unsure:

      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...

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.
