Multiquoted all y'alls and LOST EM ALL!!! I am sooooo super late, but

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

The charger to our computer crapped out, so I've been wifout since Friday. I hope everyone had a most wonderful holiday! We went to my grandma's (dad's side) house on Friday which is always a drunken blast and then had Christmas day at our house with my mom's family. I'd eaten nuthin but crap for about 4 days, felt bloated and enormous and do you know what my DH bought me?! SATIN leggins..... :blink: Now, I am a firm believer that unless you're a size 2, satin should only be a trim piece on clothing. NOT covering yer arse! He was so excited about this outfit and really wanted me to try them on toot sweet :ph34r: Oh I tried them on all right... Then I cried.... Then I went down to breakfast and ate 2 cinnamon rolls :rolleyes:

I decided to start my New Years BS resolution yesterday, stepped on the scale, cried again, then juiced all day and dance for an hour with Madeleine and Max last night on the Wii. I feel much better today! Then DH asked if I'd go on a date wif him tonight, cuz he's really craving Mexican food....GAH!!!!! :rolleyes:

Whatchy'all doin for New Years?

We will stay home for New Years. Thinking of making lasagna. J has a party not far away. The parents of the party are the most over- protective, smothering parents. :)

New Years Eve we'll probably stay home and fall asleep.....

New Years Day, hopefully, we'll have our family Christmas dinner here postponed from last Sunday.

Do you want to keep away from him? Otherwise go to Spain with him!!!! It can be quite romantic. That's where I told Clark I was pregnant and he proposed. I did the whole nine yards backwards. Honeymoon, pregnancy, proposal and wedding. This is just a suggestion from a loyal, friendly voyeur! Not the honeymoon, pregnancy, proposal, and wedding- just the romance and not even Spain - just skipping the apart time unless you need it.

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. I thought the alone time was BE's idea. Clark did that when we were dating but it didn't even last a day.

Maybe you shouldn't have apart time then. If you can't stay away from each other, then don't :D

There are hundreds of birds in the trees out back! They are so noisy, I can hear them in e house, over the noise of the wash machine & TV! Anyone remember Alfred Hitchcock? :(

Every time I go to my painting class there are an enormous amount of birds on the telephone lines. Then I come out two and a half hours later to find they all crapped on my car so badly I have to take it to the car wash that day it dries. And their crap is red. Are they drinking blood? It adds $10 to the cost of my class each week. AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!! mad.gifmad.gifmad.gifmad.gif

It depends what he wants to do :ph34r: I thought apart time could involve "seeing" each other in public places - although that hasn't worked very well in restaurants in the past :P ; you do have to actually carry through with your intentions!

We did this too. Actually, I said I didn't want to be with someone who was drunk all the time and who wanted to mess around with other girls. I wished him well and tried to move on.... He came crawling back to me in no time, sober and monogamous :D

Sometimes they just need to realize what they could lose. :P

Since both BE and I commute, the only time we could really go out is Saturday. Fridays he's not home until 8:30, which is late for me. I suppose dinner in Seattle would work, but he'd still have to drop me off at home, and then leave..... :ph34r::P :P Dunno. Have to think about this. Once the weather improves we can do weekend hikes n' stuff. Not such a fun prospect this time of year though.

And his friends told him if he hurt me, they'd kick his A$$! Loved his friends :)

Maybe I missed it-was if you who wanted some space or him?

I wanted space. It was getting a bit overwhelming with school and work and theater and application for school and late nights and early mornings and lonely cats and so on and so forth. I also felt like all we ever did was have sex, which isn't a bad thing :P , but it would be nice to play too.

      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. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
