Hi all from SAlt Lake City! Glad to see some medical issues are resolving.

Just got back from an official Irish dinner at PF Changs. Boy did M eat! Skiing makes the boys hungry and PF Changs is one of his Favs.

We stayed the first few days north of SLC in a beautiful condo. Then, yesterday, we moved down to SLC to ski places closer to The city. We were to stay in a Chase Suites near the university. It is a few blocks from PF Changs and across the street from a gluten-free pizza place. It has a full kitchen - oven, stove burners, microwave & fridge. Got there and it had been sold 3 weeks ago and was being remodeled. The Chase company had not told any of the people staying there!

A guy who just happened to be looking for places to put some specialized construction workers for a few weeks, came in to the Chase to find out if they had rooms. He heard Hub's plight and told him he had just checked at the Homestead Suites and they had rooms. So we are now staying there. It has 2 burners, a microwave & a fridge. It doesn't really work well for cooking but it's OK for breakfast & to keep my lunch stuff. Last night we had Snack Dinner - cheese, apples, crackers.

Had a good day skiing.

Great day of skiing!

Going to try Litza's Pizza. Was recommended by the gluten Free store in Layton. A whole store full of only gluten-free foods!

We also tried Taggarts Grill in Morgan at their suggestion. Yum! gluten-free buns that they could use for anyone's sandwich. M said I should get a big box shipped! They also had a peacock that sat right outside out window and a lovely calico cat that greets everyone. They have at least 5 bakeries in this area. Not all have stores but supply other stores and restaurants.

HEEEYYY, Royal Psubjects!

Well.. . . . ....I spent last night in the eleventh century, completely swept up in jousting, falconry, hand-to-hand sword and shield combat.. .. ....'twas so... .....positievely Medieval.

It really was quite a show. I explained upon entering just who I was. If you can imagine, NONE of the subjects there were apprised of the Royal Arrival and Walkabout of Queen Emily the 3000th of Psillyville.

They seemed to not even know who I was. :huh:

Incredible.

However, they had a rather impressive crown ready to place on my head, and here I am in my av, ready to reign over this clueless, rather barbaric Toronto rabble... . ...

Technical question: Can we still write something under our avs? I could not find the option to do so under "edit my profile". . . .....

Hmmmph. Some monarch.... . . ...canna find my way around me own profile.... <_<

'Tis so. You must have at least 501 posts to be able to do this.

The moon is full and bright. Where is Canadian Karen when we need her? And, no, the smart Alec answer "Bowmanville" isn't gonna cut it.

Do Canadian Karens howl at the moon? Turn into a werewolf? Perform sacred Wiccan fertility rituals? Run naked thru Bowmanville?

Hmmmm... Sounds like fun. Maybe Kansan Karens should do those things.

There's some moon-howlin' going on over on FB--I believe you will find Canadian Karen there. ;)

I don't use Shockwave, although I have heard of it. Sometimes stuff just happens. You might want to make sure you have the latest version. Open Original Shared Link

Less than six hours until spring arrives. Shroomie--you get autumn instead. :o

Tis a magnificent goblet! Fit for a queen.

Back from Spring Break. Cooper spent the week with Grandma & Poppa. He is now a spoiled dog. My dad walked him 3-5 times a day!

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
