My life used to be so funny. I'm not sure where I lost my psillie mojo. I wish it would come back though. Even my kids haven't been saying too many funny things-that's REALLY odd!

Watching Bob Dylan on The Grammys--still looks pretty good.

Looks good, but sounds.......... not so good :blink: Mumford & Sons though... Phab!!

Banana cake.....buttercream or caramel frosting?

Little late to the game, as per usual, but I'd go with a whipped chocolate ganasche ;)

One of our radio stations played " easy listening" & Christmas music starting in Oct. They have changed to all comedy. They play different comedians stand- up. I was laughing while I was driving.

One guy was talking about the implications of men with PMS. " better not invite Joe to go hunting, he's PMSing"

Reminds me....Mark was telling me last week that he was talking to a couple other guys at the office and I guess he complained about something because one of the guys said--"want me to go into the ladies' room and get you a tampax?"

Mark replied--"Don't use 'em, I'm past menopause". :P

I bought these "Drive and Learn French" C.D's to listen to during my commute. I lasted 10 minutes this morning because it started out talking as fast as you can, "Let's count!" OneTwoThreeFourFive:UnDeuxTroisQuatreCinq, MyNameIsJohn,HowAreYou?:JeM'appelleJohn,CommentAllez-vous?

I was getting so stressed out I had to turn it off!! I don't really want to pay 300$ for the Rosetta Stone.

You don't need to learn French. The French all speak English. Spanish might be more useful.

We have a French exchange student on the robotics team. Better English then the rest of us. Extremely polite.

Only if they want to :ph34r: Now the Germans DO all speak English so that's a waste of time learning that language. I did the Spanish tapes in the car bit before we went to Mexico, (used to spend a lot of time stopped on the "free"way) and got these very strange looks :blink:

Gah! Well, as was suggested on Da Book, both men and women of ANY age could be using them as nasal drippage stoppers.....got the pull-out strings an' everything.....even different sizes.. . . . ...

When my brother got his wisdom teeth out, the doctor told him to get tampons from his sisters to pack the wounds & absorb blood for the first day. So my 16 year old bro asked me his 20 year old sis for tampons. Then he said, "Not used ones, please." :ph34r:

Used to be fluent in Espanol, but alas, you don't use it, you lose it. I know I have no use for French at all, but my mother was fluent in French as was my college roommate and I've always wanted to learn. My high school only offered Spanish and Japanese. I didn't want either one of them, but I did get to go to Mexico 5 years in a row to practice. Now if I can manage to learn French and get to France 5 years in a row.....

Um. . . . . . . . . ....forgive me, any die-hard Dylan fans.. . . . ..... .. .but did he EVER sound good?? <_<

Um...NO. Good songwriter, yes. I thought maybe they had turned him mic off at the Grammy's bc I couldn't hear him over the instuments-which were UH-mazing btw!

Then he said, "Not used ones, please." :ph34r:

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Something is stinking in our garage. It's happened a couple of times this winter and we can't pin down the source. It gets really bad and then disappears all together only to resurface a month later. When the doors to the garage are closed, the whole place stinks, when you open them up, it completely airs out. There's no area of the garage that is worse than any other. The dog won't sniff it out either, she totally ignores it. I forget, why do we have her? She totally does not pull her weight around here!! You ask her to sniff out the location of one stinkin' thing and she totally blows us off!!!

Yeah--the music was too loud, but really good. I like ole Bob, though....

Do you have access to a cat? Evil Kitty, the neighborhood cat, checks my garage for hidden mice.

Yes, I do believe it is that "something's dead" smell . . . but why does it come and go . . . and why is the dog not even remotely interested??!!!

I'm afeared that we need to actually haul everything out of the garage to find it and that's just not possible at the moment . . . hence, hoping that the dog would point us in the right direction <_< . . . guess we shoulda got a pointer instead of a mutt that is only interested in squirrels. That makes me think that it is NOT a dead squirrel.

      @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...

      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!
