BE is gonna do full-on gluten-free for a week to see if it helps him sleep better. After seeing his sad little face this morning when he realized he couldn't put croutons on his salad I offered to make him some. I'll use Peter's basic recipe, with added cheese (requested), but does anyone have opinions on which store bought bread would be the best to start with?

DH loves the Energy brand of Brown Rice Bread. I can't handle it (or any bread right now) but to him it tastes the best out of all of the gluten-free breads I tried. BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Hugs,

Gots me a new baby. His name is Mocha Darth Vader Harvey :blink: Some of yous have seen his cheeky little mug. Not sure if I can get a pic loaded on here from work. He's the cutest little bunny EVAH!!! I'm so smitten with him it's funny. I've never been much of a pet person before and I had a Holland Lop when I was 20 and that was the most evil thing in the world!

Hope yuz'all had a great weekend. I got my birthday present a month early last night---Hub's sending me to HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to visit my besty before she moves back inland at the end of spring! I'm soooooooo excited! Never been on a vaca by myselph before!! :D:D:D

We saw a bad movie last night.

I tried to watch Inception the other night. Made it 30min before I had to turn it off. Too confusing and couldn't keep my attention. Soooooo, I watched Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants instead. Good movie :D

Have you seen Red?

We have that at the top of our queue with Catfish, which I REALLY wanna see (NO spoilers pleeeeease!!) but it doesn't come out till next month. So I'm forced to catch up on the 7th season of One Tree Hill ;)

BTW, isn't rectifying supposed to make you sleep better?

Our alarm clock went crazy this morning - instead of trying to suggest we get up, it tried to throw us out of bed :unsure:

Then even after we was up (at 6:03 a.m., it kept trying to throw us ouf, even when I was in the hair salon at 11:10 a.m. and multiple times before and after that. I guess the Earthquake Commission will argue for weeks as to whether this was a new :rolleyes: earthquake (5.1) or an aftershock of the old one. This aftershock has had its own aftershocks :rolleyes: , some of which (although lesser in magnitude) were stronger in experience because of the proximitty and shallowness. The one at the salon was the scariest I have experienced but was only a 3.7 and threw stuff off the shelves and made cracks in the walls. The alarm clock (while it shook the bed pretty good) only succeeded in scaring the bejeezus out of the cat, but was a 5.1. These have been lots of 4's and high 3's all day, some of which I felt and some I didn't. They say we should expect to experience these every 4-6 weeks for a year :o Now remember, I didn't even go through the first one, and I am starting to get a big jangled. We had the assessors through here last week but that may not be the end of it :blink:

Oh well, keeps ya on yer toes!!! :lol:

We have about 8 inches of snow here. It isn't moving or shaking, just sort of sitting there. It's 11 F so its cold, too.

Makes you kinda long for the Texa$$ sauna and the hurricanes, don't it? :P Me, I just wish someone would stop feeding the quarters into the vibrating bed. :rolleyes: This is also the best ski season anyone can remember at Tahoe and the snow pack has double the normal moisture content so CA will have plenty of water this summer (or phlooding during the snowmeltl).

I lived where you did my whole life and I also never saw a winter like this one. Took Tony to the dentist today and people were canceling appointments for tomorrow left and right. Glad I have no plans. Just going to turn on my fireplace and stay cozy.

Saw the new GI today and I REALLY like him. He spent and hour and twenty minutes with me. I was glad Clark was with me because I got a serious case of brain fog. I definitely have celiac but he thinks that instead of IBS it might be my back (I've had back problems my entire life). I asked him about disability and he told me it has t be initialed by my FP. Hopefully she'll be amenable to it, I do have to have a repeat colonoscopy and endoscopy but he'll do them at the same time. He's also going to do full blood work. So I still have a ways to go before I know my total diagnosis. My old GI here "said" they faxed my records but he never got them. He'll send for them on his end.

Keep warm my psillies!

Hugs,

Loey

P.S. they just increased our snow from 3-6 to 5-8

Ahhhhh . . . but come August, we'll be looking for a little cloud cover.

Two hour delay here also . . . huh, imagine that? . . . the good news was that we found out last night so we got to sleep in which was about an extra hour for me.

Glad you like you're new GI, LowEee. I certainly didn' appreciate the one we had until he moved away and I got stuck with an Arse of a doc.

Ours canceled this morning, so I got a call at 5:30 AM <_< I tried really hard, but couldn't get back to sleep.

Our kids are made of hardier stock. We don't get delays or cancellations as often as you do :P

Counting today, my kids have been to school 8 days this year. ( one of those days they got out 2 hours early). Wouldn't want to wear the teachers out!

2 of the 3 snow days, my boys have been a school to work on the robot. It's not like they couldn't get there!

We are supposed to get 1 inch today just to freshen things up. Then 5 inches on Sunday.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      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.

      By catnapt · Posted

      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

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      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, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. 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.
