Happy New Year, other side of the world!

On my side of the world, we are trying to get in all the weather types possible before midnight. Warm (60F), tornados, thunderstorms, heavy winds and ice turning to a little snow. My neighborhood is in the icy stage moving towards the snow stage.

Kansas always does like to go to extremes with its weather - the only weather they don't do well is balmy ocean breezes :rolleyes:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I think I have pink eye <_< But I'm not pregnant, so that's a bonus to the day :D:lol:

Rabbits! Why did I think of rabbits?? Oh yeah, they have (or get) pink eye, and "the rabbit didn't die" :P Good news for you and the rabbit!

. . . and a Happy New Year to Shroom!!! . . . the rest of youse guys have to wait a bit longer!!

Shroomie, we had an earthquake here yesterday . . . of course we missed it as we were still at my Dad's house . . . made me think of you.

We had one last night and I missed it too - thought it was New Year party raucousness <_< But t'was only a 3.7, so could be mistaken for a gust of wind. Now on Boxing Day we had another good one, right under the CBD and only about 5 km deep - that one really shook the place up again at a 4.9; more parapets fell, more buildings condemned, everything had to be reinspected, more places cordoned off, even our earthquake proofed cathedral suffered some minor damage and they removed the big cross for safety purposes. Nonetheless, New Year's official celebrations were held in Cathedral Square last night as usual, using the slogan "We are strong, We are survivors, We are Canterbury!" (name of our province).

Hub had the same experience as I did 10 years ago with the Loma Prieta quake - totally didn't feel it and he was right downtown too, except he was in his car amongst frenzied would-be shoppers, when the woman in front of him jumped out of her car and went running in a panic, arms waving frantically in the air. He wondered what was up with this crazy woman, for whom this was obviously one earthquake too many :blink::huh::unsure:

Meanwhile, my housesitter lady went on vacation up north and got caught in a phlash phlood (or drove into too-deep running water or something) and got swept 100 metres down the road, ended up in a ditch, she and her phriend kneeling on their seats with water above their waists - they made it out safely but her Rav4 didn't :( Now she has been stranded up there with phlooded roads, washed out bridges, highways blocked by slips, and trying to get her insurance to come through with a new car payment. The tenting holidaymakers didn't fare too well either :lol: The Gods seem to be having a bit of a go at us Down Under pholks, but the poor Queenslalnders in Oz are getting the worst of it :unsure:

Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! to all psillies. May the force be with you!

Cutting it close, every symptom, getting skeert :unsure: Turns out, I think all the sugar and crap I've been eating the past 2 weeks just magnified all the PMS symptoms, which for me are all the beginning signs of being preggo. AND, after the hub's snip-snip last spring, he never went back in to make sure he's shootin blanks. He say's "I'm sure it's fine" to the most fertile woman alive :rolleyes:

BTW, where do you live Shroomie? I've been getting really confused and would love us to start posting continents. I just ate dinner because I decided carrying a bag of veggies would draw too much attention to me and I'm meeting my neighbors for the firs time. I haven't been to a New Year's Party sine Y2K. Clark and I love to stay at home all cozy and snugggly but really do need to meet our neighbors. Party is at 8 and it's 6 here so I'm procrastinating. We're walking to the party and it's uphill so I'm a little concerned about walking downhill after imbibing. Maybe Clark will get the car and drive a block and a half so I don't start the New year with bruises.

Wishing all my psilles a HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR. I'd be lost without you!

Hugs,

Loey Lane.

The follow up is no big deal (been there, done that). You provide a sample to be tested. You could make it a condition: No checkup, no nookie. :huh:

And, he won't go blind from giving the sample. :ph34r:

I still like my idea of all the psilles taking turns raising the child. Imagine how he/she would turn out (and Kareeng second time around I wouldn't be a pushover!!!)

Loey laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

Still procrastinating about getting ready for the party. Believe it or not I get shy when I meet new people (not that you could tell from here). At least I showered and blew my hair dry. Now for the curling, make-up and oh yes, the clothes. I don't think Clark is wearing his cape.

Hoppy Gnu Year Again and thanks for making my dealing with all my illnesses a LOT easier. You are all the best!!!!

I hope Lo & Clark remembered the clothes before heading to the party. The surprise on the face of host's teen age boy or girl who is taking guest's coats! Or the rude comments and hysterical laughter if it were my boys.

Staying in where it is warm. The 62 from yesterday has turned to a wind chill of 0.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEARS, PSILLIES!!!!!

I find myself in Guelph, Ontario, having a terrific weekend with dear old friends who have travelled here from Freemantle, Australia, to visit their families. We pulled out many coloUrs of the classic, fine-lined Sharpie last evening and drew all over each others' faces... . . .Ya know, just normal New Years' Eve madness. ..... . :huh:

We remembered the clothes (I actually got dressed up). Before we left Clark asked if we were going to be bored. Well we were actually the last to leave. We have lovely neighbors and the hostess looked up Celiac and had a shrimp and scallop platter that she kept away from everyone else. I enjoyed my wine. I have pain today but it was worth it and actually I've had pain since September so I don't think it was from the party.

I think we'll keep Clark's identity a secret.

Kareeenng- I can't thank you enough for bringing me to the psilles. Have a happy and healthy New Year!

Hugs,

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

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!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!
