Does she have her dress that matches the drapes all pressed and ready to doff?

Will she be wearing that styling dress?

Sorry to disappoint you but I left that dress to it's own devices :D

Get a thumb report. B)

My thumb or Poeter's thumb

the drapes in the kitchen are an orange coloUr. I don't think I have anything in my wardrobe that matches them. I will try and wear something that will clash nicely with them though.

How true Patti. I'm mostly wear blues and purples although not always together. Our wallpaper in the kitchen is old as well. It's a floral yellow print. What can i say but Poeter and I aren't really into decorating :D

So, Jacquie has a "hot" date with Tony the appliance technician in the morning. I'll be minding the store. ;)

It's a good choice. A hot date with a baker wouldn't get YOU anything.

And Tony has been and gone.

I miss read the 'thumb' comment yesterday :D I take a guess and say it's about 2 1/2 inches.

And we're waiting to see if we can get a thermostat for the stove. Apparently they haven't made Harvest Gold in a 'few' years :rolleyes:

The plot on how old the stove is got a little more interesting. The vent area of the stove is 'Avocado Green'. What were the original owners of the house thinking :rolleyes:

and did you know you can now get some appliances in 'Red' :eek:

Maybe they liked both and couldn't make up their minds? :P

The former owner told us about him--evidently he was so comfortable with them, he would eat out of their hands. With me, he's more comfortable with the glass door in between us while he eats.

We have inherited neighbors' scaredy cat - they couldn't find her when they moved to Oz after the 2nd quake. She has even been so bold as to (once) let us touch her head, but usually lurks in the bushes waiting for food at same time each night (just before darkness).

Jeeze, Simon takes a run at me each morning and bounces off my ankle to tell me I'd better feed him 'NOW'!!!!!! He does have quite the shag-a-dellic hair-do and I wonder how well he can see with all that hair in his eyes. Maybe I should put it in a ponytail and see if that helps :lol:

* snort * ColoUr references of 1970's appliances......I very vaguely recall our house having a great deal of orange throughout my early childhood. I particularly remember the big avacado phone sitting on the li'l special phone table in the hallway.. .. . ..... :lol:

How on earth did she ever manage to organize a perfectly matching dress to the wallpaper??

fig22.webp

:lol::lol::lol:

The first house Jesse and I bought when we were 23 had the avocado sink, toilet and bath with the pink tiles all around. We decorated around it to make it work, ended up kinda cute. I thought it might be a sore spot when we were trying to sell, but the house sold in 5 days, so I guess it wasn't that bad! :P

Might not be wallpaper . . . might be a curtain . . . which makes me think of Carol Burnett wearing the drapes in the Gone with the Wind parady.

Love, Love, Love this skit!!!! One of the funniest ever!!

      Is this celiac?

      @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...

      Is this celiac?

      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.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). 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!
