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.

FINALLY go to see new GI today. Clark called and told me to pick him up at work on the way (next town over) and he'll go with me. Will let you all know how it goes. Might not be until tomorrow as Tony has dentist appointment when I return.

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

Ooooohhhhh!!!!!.........So YOU'RE to blame for this mess! <_<

2 hour delay today because it's too friggin cold for the kids to stand out at the bus stops. 2 degrees actual temperature at the moment....don't know what the windchill is. I'm sure in another hour it'll be way better :rolleyes:

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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?
