BTW....what do you get at PFChangs? I've only been there once and did not like what I ordered.

Hopefully this isn't want you got and didn't like, but I always get Philip's Better Lemon Chicken with white rice. Chocolate Dome for dessert (if I can't eat it there, I take it home :P ).

We don't have PF Changs up here... . . . . ...it's phunny, I remember you saying this, Leeeesargh, when we were strolling along those hot Chicago streets to our late lunch in July- - that you were not impressed with Changs. All the millions of things you yak about in a day, and what you end up remembering. . . .. . .:rolleyes:

If we all go to Changs we get 4 different gluten-free things to share. J doesn't share well as he isn't a big fan of Chinese style food. He does love the pepper beef. We usually get the spiciest chicken thing (Dali chicken) and the lesser spicy chicken (Spicy Chicken) thing. Then something else to try. M& hub love the extra spicy one. I like the Spicy Chicken. We had the beef and snow peas and it was good. Always a chocolate dome.

Could you Psillies tell me, am I typing in English? As I posted above, I am still having trouble with emails being understood.

It was something with a crab or seafood sauce......blech. Actually, the taste wasn't so bad, just couldn't get past the texture......kinda.....slimey, I think.

I remember the stress of searching for our dog :( Ours was a happy ending. Someone saw my notice posted at the local library. They had taken our dog in....to their home, not the library.

Will be on the look- out but 12 miles is the farthest a lost dog has come to find me.

Since the little lost schnauzer that I posted on FB, we had another dog run down the street straight into M & hubs arms. He had a collar and went home quickly. My mom says that during the depression the Hobos marked your house for other Hobos to show you would feed them. We have been marked by lost dogs.

You probably can't understand a word I am saying because it's not in English orAmerican.

mushroom Proficient

I ran your post through the language translator and it came out just fine :rolleyes:

We used to have a marked house too, but not just dogs - we even had a rabbit once. Sometimes the same dogs over and over so we knew where to take 'em home. We were the first house outside the city limits, where they could get off the street and run all over hell's acre. The rabbit we had for 10 days until the peeps got back from vacation and saw our ad in the paper. I bet the rabbit sitter was chastised :o He had hippity hopped over a lot of busy streets. We were kind of sad to see him go. One dog the owners were so irresponsible, instead of taking him home (again!), we took him to Pets Lifeline to try to get him rehomed, he was so unhappy :( .

Well, here is your text in Bulgarian - - perhaps this is what these blokes are seeing (if so, one cannot blame them for misunderstanding):

Ако ние всички отиват да получим Changs глутен 4 различни неща за дял. Й не споделят добре като той не е голям фен на китайски стил храна. Той не обичат наругавам говеждо месо. Ние обикновено получават на spiciest пилешки нещо (Дали пилешки) и по-малката Пикантно пиле (Пикантни пилешки) нещо. След това нещо друго, което да се опита.

Ro must have gone to take a nap!

*wakes up* huh what? Oh oops sorry, I got busy at work and then fell asleep how awful of me!

Dream time!

So to preface my dream, I am the clumsiest person you will ever meet. Even though I did take six years of ballet as a kid. So here goes.

I was teaching a theater troupe some sort of dance, and I had some of the students come up and demonstrate as I taught. It was to a common upbeat song ye hear around these days, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me now. But it was fun and everyone on stage was all bright and colorful. (And it was funny to see everyone mess up and me being the choreographer doing it perfectly. HA!)

And then the scene changes, and we are doing a slower dance. Its to a song that a guy in the troupe is singing. He's singing a song about a girl that appears in his dream. I don't think it is a real song though, which is funny since I can't song write for the life of me. (I do write poetry though.) Anyway, I was dancing in the song too, (maybe demonstrating what would be done?) And the boy does the final lift with me, and then sets me down. Apparently there was these moving blackboards as part of the set (Don't ask me why.) and I ran right into them as I tried to gracefully exit stage right. So of course, I just laugh and say, "Can we try that again." So we go through the sequence again, and I exit gracefully the second time around. (To this part of my dream my coworker says as I tell her about it, You run into things even in your dreams? Sheesh!)

The story has made headline news here, POeter. Sgt. Russell is being lauded for having been a superb officer, and an all-around great guy. A devoted husband. And new father. :(

So glad that you're far enough away from the horror in Queensland, Shroom! Very unpsilly, indeed, that... . . ...:(

Okay! Here is an excellent photo taken of DD yesterday by one of her good friends who has some cool features on her Mac camera. 'Tis quite a likeness, and I suggested she submit it for her informal yearbook photo:

I'm sure I would freeze something off at that temp....and I wouldn't have to be flashing. Perhaps that's why my boobies have refused to grow.....preservation :ph34r:

exactly :rolleyes:

HOLY CRAP!!! Glad she's ok!

Trying to stay warm......Why do I live here???? :unsure:

Seeing an allergist, now. I don't tolerate much of anything these days. Haven't found any allergies yet except dust mites, so he took me off all grains (wasn't eating much anyways, but there goes my tortilla chips :( ) and beans. Things that dust mites could be habitating in. I don't think that's it. Next he wants me to try an organic diet.

$$$

So sorry to hear that Lisa. I'm limited in what I can eat and will probably be more limited after I see new GI next week. Let me know how the tests go. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can keep your chips and beans.

Dog Story Time

We've been giving dogs that come into our store some new treats to try out. The treat is Beef Sticks with Garlic. The dogs are loving them :) Yesterday we got stock in and Peter put the overstock on a lower peg of the rack that these treats go on. Trevor, who is pictured below, comes in with his human for a treat. Trevor has never been a problem and he gets to walk around the store while the owner and us talk sometimes. Trevor helped himself to the treats that you see in his mouth. These are the treats that we've been giving out. Trevor's owner couldn't get the treats out of his mouth. We let Trevor have the treats and I moved the overstock up so the other dogs wouldn't shoplift as well.

      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 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!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      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.
    • trents
      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.
