I think I get 'congratulated' again :P (I did fairly well on the math section).

Congratulations! ( tho I don't think this is the kind of contests she is hoping for ;) )

Gads. Just spent two hours putting away laundry. Now that I'm coming out of my math induced haze I'm beginning to realize just how much I didn't do around the house. I suppose I had to wash the clothes to keep from running out of undies, but that's as far as I got. There's enough junk mail piled up to qualify me as a 'hoarder' and we're down to the last bit of kitty litter. Instead of the offered congrats from BE, mebbe I'll ask for maid service instead.

I've been doing non stop laundry since my son got home. Clark bought him a beard trimmer so he doesn't look as scruffy. Today I take him for a haircut and pick up my prize from my painting class. We donated gifts to a foster home and I won first place. It's a load of supplies which is great because I was going to need to buy supplies after next month and they aren't cheap.

OK, I better run before my son showers and uses up all the hot water. Jess, stop thinking about math and keep thinking about congratulations with BE!!!!..

Got the same cold. Clark gave it to me as an early Xmas present. Enjoy the skiing. You're not the type to let a cold keep you down!

The cold didn't, but the foot of snow that we weren't expecting did <_< If I was riding with someone else, I woulda been fine, but I was driving, so that wasn't happening :( I put on my snow pants and boots and went 'snow-Ugging' thru the golf course. Twas the best workout I've ever had!

The rest of the weekend went tits-up. Was one of the worst in history. I, am apparently, a selfish b!tch..... :unsure:<_<

You're not a selfish jerk in the least. You didn't complain when DH changed plans on you. Hope Santa makes this up to you. Wish we were getting snow. We were supposed to all week but only had a snow shower this morning. Of course I'll sing a different tune when it does snow.

My son is belting out songs from Jesus Christ Superstar in the shower (he takes 2 to 3 a day). He's going to need a LOT of practice to make Alcapelo next year (and this is coming from a mother who is very prejudice). He's missing some major notes. He's also in a snarky mood because he misses his friends from Brown and from High school.

Hugs,

Santa didn't start shopping till Sunday night. I won't be getting much of anything, I don't think. I know my kids got me something. Those are the gifts I love the most!

Maddie sings in the shower too. Actually, she sings everywhere!

If you live in an apartment maybe someone burned something they were cooking. We came home from the movies once and our carbon monoxide alarm was going off. We had the windows open but wound up calling the pfire department anyway. There wasn't a problem but evidently when Clark was putting in the hard wood floors he didn't cover the alarms and dust got in them and triggered them several months later. Glad you're OK and there wasn't a pfire.

I'm ok--right after I posted I saw a firetruck, police car, rescue squad van, and an official pickup from the fire dept arrive just outside the parking garage....but no more alarms or anyone at all in the hall. I called the office, and she said it was fine, they only came out for "a precaution". Needed to make sure since I'm on the 4th floor. ;)

Who knows...this happened once in Texas--turned out to be a couple kids setting off the alarm.

Tony's taking my car to get us (Clark & I) presents today.He asked if there was anything I wanted and I told him a flannel nightgown (when I'm bloated and flaring my PJ's are uncomfortable). He said he wanted to get me something I wanted not needed. I think he didn't want to go into the lingerie department. laugh.gif

He's always gotten me cute presents. One year I worked with the principal from hell and he got me a voodoo doll. Last year he went to build a bear and made me a hippie jew bear (I'm jewish).

I told Clark I really don't want a gift from him because my UI is running out and I don't know if or when I'll get disability or be able to start working. Last year he got me a new iPod.

I'm going out to finish shopping with a girlfriend in a little while. It's taken 7 months but I'm finally making friends here. Part of it was being a hermit because of this illness. Luckily I had all my psillies!!! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Off to get ready for shopping. I also need to see if I can find Turdunkin (sp?) and if it's gluten-free. Tony suddenly wants that for Christmas. He is the hardest person I've ever tried to feed !!!!!

Yeah. I think if he had some issues he needed to discuss with me, after 4 hours of drinking and playing poker with the guys was not the best time to do it! He usually gets me some pretty thoughtful gifts for Christmas. This year, I think I shall be an afterthought. I'm surprising him with a trip to SLC to visit his best friend he only sees once every 2 years, but whatever <_< I will be putting all my energy into my beh-behs.... And cakes.... Got 3 orders late last week for 6 cakes for the 24th and 1 for the 26th! :)

So glad you're all right!!!! Fires are terrify me. My parents house burned to the ground on Rosh Hashanah one year. It was sewer gas and had been building up and it's like carbon monoxide so no one smelled it. Our entire family was pulling up as the fire trucks were tying to put it out. The phone had melted off the wall so we couldn't call anyone (pre-cell pnone days). Thankfully no one was hurt. You know how they say that your personality comes out in what you grab from the house? I grabbed my dorm keys, my father grabbed the safe box with all of the important papers in it, and my mother grabbed dinner. We went to my Aunt's house and my mother made us eat the chicken. It tasted like smoke.

Thankful you're OK!

Loey

P.S. I called the fire department 2 years ago because I smelled a fire and it turned out to be our neighbors BBQ'ing Clark didn't let me hear the end of it for a while.

Thanks Patti! No Turdunckin for us this year. The gluten-free brand costs $219 before shipping. Turkey will have to do!!

Well, we had a little excitement in the neighborhood this morning. We had some guys come through in the middle of the night and steal everything out of everyone's mailboxes. Apparently they hit a different area of town the previous night. They go through the mail looking for the gift cards and cash and dump everything else. The got a prescription for Xalatan for Josie's glaucoma that I was mail ordering. They got about $80 worth of gift cards from the neighbor. Merry Bah Humbug Christmas. Oh well, I'm not out any money, just inconvenienced to run to the vet specialist to pick up a new script. Thank goodness I'm running behind and didn't have more stuff in the outgoing mail. The policeman that took my statement was a cutie . . . although I was in my pajamas and had not brushed my teeth yet . . . I tried not to get too close. :ph34r: He then tried to make the kids think that he was there because of them and that they shouldn't look so surprised and "You, know what you did." :P

How scary and definitely Bah Humbug!!! I'm glad the prescription was all that was taken but it's still a pain in the neck that you have to go back to the specialist. I don't mail gift cards but I do mail checks. Hopefully the (cute) cop will get the guy/s!

I didn't know there was a gluten-free brand. We saw a show recently about how they make popular holiday foods. With the Turduckin, there was stuffing all over the place! The workers took gloved handfuls of it and stuffed the birds but it got all over the place. If they did a gluten-free version, it would need to be done in a completely different room!

Jyaghnutt, that mail thievery sucks! :angry: Well, let's hope that they were young kids, and one of them will rip open Josie's prescription bag, stare at the bottle, break into a huge, disbelieving smile and exclaim, "Whoa, lookit this!! Meds for glaucoma!! My mom has glaucoma, an' she's goin' blind, an' we got no money, no drug plan for medicine! Man, Her face when I give her this - - this won't be such a bad Christmas AFTER ALL!!"

      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 +

      @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, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. 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.

      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.

      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
