:blink: OMG, Rah-shyellle! Wow.. . ..good for you getting yourself into the incredible form in which you are now. Would never have guessed -- you look terrific. :)

Thanks :wub:

I think the hardest thing is looking in the mirror and still seeing the fat chick, even though it's been 10 years since I started the journey. I forced myself to wear a pair of leggings and a longer sweater today and I'm making myself 'own it' instead of worrying what my thighs look like :P

*snort*

I weigh 70# less than I did 5 years ago, and someone asked me how I felt about my change. It was a good enough friend that I could say "I still see the same person in the mirror". I'm working very hard at letting go of my perceptions and believing what my friends tell me. This whole 'dating' thing is actually a huge acting production, of me acting like I feel like I'm worth dating. Fortunately I took some time to peruse other people's profiles on that site and decided I'd have to be a whole lot more screwed up than I am in order to think of my self as unworthy. :P

And then, I can always kick their a$$, so I have that going for me. :D:rolleyes:

Heck yeah!! Kick their arses!!!!

My BFF told me I have body dysmorphic disorder. Maybe she's right, I don't know. Unfortunately I think it's easier to believe the negative stuff than the positive. Especially when that's most of what I've been hearing since I was 12 :( I have to force myself to look in the mirror and pick out some of the positives and not dwell on the negative. I'm retraining my brain!

Girlz!!!

You are of course mucho worthy - but old habits die hard I think. I like that Rae-schylle says 're- training your brain'

I think women (in general) get stuck in negative thoughts about their bodies dry.gif

.... on the other side of the coin is Tel (me hubby)

Having been a seriously 'skinny' un dx coeliac most of his life he now has trouble seeing a healthy size bloke in the mirror (with maybe a slight belly wink.gif)

GADS!! - he thinks he still wears 28'' waist trousers rolleyes.gif

NO chance!! laugh.gif

Is MANFLU® SOOTHING HOT OR SHOT DRINK™? safe to consume when pregnant?

No, seek medical advice. Men can’t get pregnant.

Should we email to see if its gluten free?

You guys have to check this out if you have a sec. This is my sister's amazing fiance. He a master puppet creator and this is a clip from one of his shows. He's been all over the world creating wondrous creatures for people like Steve Wynn to the final game/extravaganza for the last game at Yankee stadium to the Pope the last time he visited :mellow: I wish you could all see the other work that he's done, he's AMAZING!!! But this is funny! He's the one in the front in the greyish wig and bigger frog. It's also him singing. He sang the songs in multiple octaves and then remixed them all together!

He contracts out now and works on his own, but here's where he used to work--and alot of the projects you see, Dan worked on

Russel, the frog puppets are fab. When I was in high school and you were a wee baby or less, I took all the sewing classes available. I wanted to make costumes for Miss Piggy. When that didn't work out, I thought I would make my daughters lots of princess dresses. When that didn't work out, I did make a few Batman and cowboy costumes.

Patti, I made the gluten-free Pantry French bread yesterday. If you like white bread, it's good. I never was a big white bread fan. Cut some up and coated with olive oil and toasted in the oven. Dipped them in cheese fondue. Tasty. Great for day old toast. Made way too much for just me so I'm going to pulverize some for bread crumbs. I make a green bean & Swiss cheese dish that needs bread crumbs on the top.

Ooh--that cheese fondue sounds so good! :rolleyes:

The French bread makes really good croutons and breadcrumbs--and turkey dressing. I like that mix a lot--I started making it 5 years ago because I was also dairy free and it didn't contain any tapioca either which doesn't like me.

I actually liked the taste of the Sandwich Bread when I made it recently--it tasted more like homemade eggbread--denser than the French. It just rose so danged much.....I'll probably go back to the French since I can slice it thinner--I slice and freeze it when cool and then use as I need it from the freezer. Lasts me quite a while unless I make grilled sammies cause Mark eats it that way too.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
