It's not MY house that the problem .... it's the extended family ..... my house has normal fighting over the bathroom type stuff, but not drama.

Happy Anniversary, Patti!

Rachelle, I would so go with you. It would be nice to have a family as bad as ours! Always expecting to end up on The Jerry Springer Show! Remember, I'm the one who had Christmas dinner in the kitchen (1 SIL in solidarity) because I would not sit with the in- laws after the most recent horrible thing they did. Wouldn't let the grand kids sit with them except the 2 mostly grown ones. Sent the boys to a nice table in the basement with a nice view of the Xbox video game & 2 Tvs of football.

Uh, no, I couldn't post here unless my posts were moderated first, which would take up to 24 hours, and you guys would be like ten pages past that, so it was useless. I still only have six kids, one lives on his own ....

I resemble that remark - never takes longer than 23 :unsure::lol: Hello CarlaB. You've been gone so long I'm new too. but not THAT new - these guys have scrubbed me up pretty good :lol: The reason it never takes longer than 23 is cos I'm usually Down Under and cleaning up the board when these other guys are layabeds.

Getting whapped by fate (or fat, as SueEllen suggested).

I've been waffling about my approach to grad school: Would I not to try to get in the program, just take classes for grad level credit so I could keep working and take them for free (and extend the time it took to complete the program)? Would I try to get in the program, but turn down any financial assistance (TAing) so I could keep working and have some control over my income (and extend the time it took to complete the program)? Or should I just quit work, dive in head first, and take the financial hit ($500-$1000/month)?

Those of you keeping a diary of my whining will recall that I'm not overly happy at work. After a couple very unpleasant interactions these last couple weeks, I was sitting on the bus last night thinking "God I wish I could just quit my job!" when I realized that I can. And will. Not until I'm in the program and school starts, of course, once I made the decision completely I am so much more calm and happy.

I have a few months to really tighten my belt and save as much as I can, so I don't feel as if I've thrown myself off a cliff. I apply in January for a Sept. start. If I don't get in I still have the option of taking the classes for grad credit and applying next year.

And it's completely legit to quit your job to go back to school - no political ramifications at all. :)

Yes, but 15 minutes is too much on this thread!!! And you weren't here to moderate in the 23 hour range!!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat.

      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.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). 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!
