Thanks my friend,

I'm going to check it out on Amazon after my doctor appointment this morning (I have one every day this week). Going to see the band Kansas this Friday with Tny. Still not telling him until the summer and finals are over.

My painting is progressing SLOWLY. Basically a five year old can d better. Not giving up, though. It's relaxing. I bought a bunch of books on scryli (my favorite medium so far. My teacher was rather nasty and condescending so I'm not going to pay to be treated badly. I did confront her abut it.

Hope you're doing well!

Hi Low-e,

I am doing ok. I am heading over to the gluten free labeling summit later today to see this gigantic gluten-free cake they are making. No other motive than to support the gluten-free community of course, the huge, massive, multi-ton gluten-free cake is no motivation at all... :-) Hopefully there won't be any salad around.

I don't know if there is a book on the Eat to Defeat cancer diet or not. If you click the link I posted it will take you to their web site. There you can watch the TED talk video about the diet. Then you can sign up on their web site to do the diet like a good kid. It is free and they don't spam you. They have a list of the foods to eat on the site but you can't see until you sign up. The TED talk by the doctor/researcher guy is very interesting in itself. It is not geared towards gluten-free though.

Ha, you should not see some of my first paintings. They were purty pathetic. That's ok though, all part of the learning process. Seems ya gotta learn to do things wrong so you can learn what not to do and then the right way to do it is easier. After a while you just get better is all. :)

Ain' that the troof! For whatever the reason, I've kept all of my hard-fought works from my early days of institutionalized art instruction, and when I come across them from time to time, gads.. . . . ...

We wanna see your stuff, Low! Put some of it up on fb! :)

Jeeee-Eff, (and all o' youse Psills anywhere near the DC area) - - I and the immediate family may be driving down to Washington sometime in July. I have always wanted to go there, and our drives south have never gone far enough. I'm gonna put the word out later on if we decide to definitely go, but I would LOVE to meet you and see your art! :D

Simon! Are you posting on Mommy's account?

He just wishes he had a never ending salad.

:lol::lol:

1 more month, then he can eat all the salad he can handle! We are adhering to the 4mo rule this time... Apparently, that's when he becomes an adult, can start eating fruits and veggies and will start spraying everything in sight <_<

I spent the night dreaming about conditional probabilities and kinship coefficients. D'ya suppose there's any way I can get credit for this for my class?

kinship coefficients.

:huh: This sounds like something vaguely monarchical - - something of which I should know the meaning. . . . ...some Royal Mandate or Canon, then?

OR.. . . . . . ......:unsure:....is it.. . . . .. . . ...

MATHS??? :o

kinship coefficients.

I believe this has something to do with relatives. Figuring out that your dad's counsin's kid's baby is your 2nd cousin twice removed or some such. And a way to calculate how annoyed you will be when your MIL visits.

L = Length of visit (in town)

C = 1 for each car they want to borrow

D = Amount of days spent staying in your home

K = Kinship coeefficient

(L x D)squared x the square root of C = K

The relevance of K can be modified by the addition of OH, usually in the form of vodka. The direction of modification (positive or negative) depends on which side of the equation you add the OH to, yours or theirs.

And in the end, someone will end up with DCM due to ETOH... :huh:

Unfortunately I did too, mostly. We had a "Stinkers" thread on the Wetcanvas site a few years ago for people to contribute their masterpieces too. I had some doozies. But now they are all just so much less than that..

Well, if the queen wants ta visit, the queen is welcome ta visit. The prince was just here after all, admiring the local veggies. We had to splain to him how we grow 'em in the ground...

I was sprized the Qween would let him come to DC by his lonesome, all unsupervised and such tho. I speckt he will need to file a book report or a trip report with your hindsass when he gets back to the royal roozt?

We can go to all the big museums (Smithzoneians) and look at my art too M-Lee! Of course I'll have to put the art pics on a phone or camera card so you can see it inside the big museum...

I'll also have plenty of boxes of your varite of cheap, er wet, er, liquid winez to satisfy the Qweenly tastz.

Well, the kinship coefficient remains quite satisfactory when OH is added to EMILY whilst our most common (crap, is she coming AGAIN??) houseguest is added to our home equation... . . . . ....but holy crap, we look at real trouble when OH is added to MIL, and the car is thrown in.... . . . . . .

MIL + OH + CAR = chaos..... .. . . ..

But even MIL + CAR - OH = scary... . .. . ..

OK, my life is officially material for a sitcom. I have to delay all of my procedures (shots for shoulder and back and removal of lymph node) because I have two blocked aortic arteries and now have to have cardiac catheterization next week possibly followed by immediate angioplasty. I'm actually finding it all rather amusing. I'm calm and trust my doctors. I''m more worried about Clark than me.

Does this all ban me from the psillie thread? Now THAT would break my heart!

Bygawd, you have the BEST attitude. I admire you so much, and can only hope that if/when I get hammered as you have been with these big health issues, I will be as strong and positive as you! At least it's all happening concurrently and they can address it all, fix it up within a few months and then you're good! :)

Loweeeee, I insist that you KNOCK THIS CRAP OFF!!!!!!!!!

Can someone please explain to me the importance of the Red Velvet cake?! I am thoroughly stumped as to WHY IN HELL someone would want me to make them a cake that contains 4 OUNCES... 1/2 a CUP of red food dye?!?! I understand that people may enjoy the taste of a lighter chocolate cake, but why can't they just enjoy the taste of the pure ingredients and not the massive quantities of red food poisoning dye??

I had to make one yesterday. A big arse one. It looked like a massacre had occured in my kitchen by the time I was done. The dye was everywhere. Bloody looking fingerprints all over the counters, sink and mixer. I was getting more and more pissed as the night went on. Plus, the 4oz of dye cost me nearly 16$, which is NOT what I had anticipated when I gave my customer the quote for the cake. I won't lose any money on it, but I'm not making much either. Live and learn I guess. I'm going to have to add 50-75cents per serving for the red velvet from now on!!

On the funnier side, Madeleine made a 7ft mural all about bacon yesterday. It's hilarious!! I'll have to take a picture of it :lol:

Actually, its a blessing that the other problems helped you catch the blockages.

I believe you still qualify as a psilly because this is all sort of funny in sick comedy type way. Perhaps you can come out of this as The Bionic Woman?

And after all that red dye, its dried blood red at best.

A bacon mural sounds like one of the most important peices of art of this century to date! Where is this? Your kitchen? Her bedroom? Please post a pic.

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

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.

      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.

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.

      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
