I seem to recall that the then-Catholic King Henry VIII of England wanted a divorce from his first wife (he had six). Got right messy, that. Excommunications, interdiction, confiscation of Church property...

.. . .a few lopped-off heads... . .. ....

Yes, Rah-shyellle, it could be muuuuuuuuch worse..... . . ...you could be trying to split up with King Henry VIII back in 1530.. . . ... . .

(((hugs))) to everybody in Sillyville!

HI, PAGHTEEEIGH! :wub::wub:

I done did it peeps...I ran 26.2 miles in 5hrs 6 minutes!!!! :D:D

SO fantastic, Gnick.... . . . ...I'm in decent shape, and can't imagine doing this......you are my hero.

I can only imagine what your hamstrings feel like.... . . .. :bigpainface:

And Jyesssss....beautiful chickies! :D

I'm exhausted just from KNOWING about Kninck's run. May have to spend the day on the couch with chocolates.

Methinks this will be less traumatic.

Rachel, you are doing the right thing, even if the Church says you are not. Be strong, move forward, and recapture your life. :wub:

Thanks Pee-tah :wub: I'm so beyond sure I've made the right choice. Just wish I would have done it years ago <_<

Maybe I did..... :unsure:

I will be officially filed for divorce today or tomorrow!! He said he REFUSES to sign a damn thing until our parenting plan is final. Cuz I'm a horrible woman who's gonna take him for everything and all..... BUT I'm so proud of myself because I'm learning how to disengage his narcissistic arse! I was supposed to help clean out the garage yesterday and I told him if he couldn't keep his opinions to himself and be nice, I was outta there. Lasted 20 min. I gathered up the kiddos and left him to take care of it alone!! No more fighting from me if I can help it. I think he's nuts, so it doesn't do any good anyway!

mushroom Proficient

So fantastic, Gnickers, I am very proud of you. The reason you are so sore is because you had to carry me :lol:

Any room on the couch, Jyesse? I'll bring my own chocolates (and some more for you!) :D

That's the way to do it, Raysshellll - walk away and just leave them talking to themselves. They absolutely hate not having anyone to pick on and be better than

kareng Grand Master

Nik ran her legs off! Congrats!

Jess has feathery babies with cute names! :wub:

Rach didn't have to clean the garage! Way to go!

I'm also having a chuckle over the 'weird looking object thread' blink.giflaugh.gif

Jestgar Rising Star

Molly, the kitty, was SOOO having her one of those baby chicks.

She carefully stalked up on it (with me right behind her)

slowly crouched for the pounce

and frantically flew following a face full of furious flying furry feathers as Mulberry went into full attack mode

she barreled through all the big girls standing on the steps of the deck and disappeared into the house

haven't found her yet. :P

      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!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      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.
    • trents
      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.
