FANTASTIC!! :D :D :D So great that you guys met up... . . .we need an Official Report of Minutes, please.... .. ..

We talked a bit about Suzzie's dogs and her cat. We also discussed why she's not been on the board and good old politics. And the most important thing we talked about was our trip and how it came about :)

If your Grand Tour takes you to KC, let me know! I can talk about my dog, too!

KC could work.

We're in Arizona tonight, in a city with 28,000 residents. Limited food options, but we choose a steak place from the AAA book and check it out on the 'net. Family-owned business.

So we are seated, and the server is ready to take our order. I start into my queries, mentioning wheat. Well, she asks if I am a celiac, because she is too. We talked a bit about it. I felt completely safe in her hands. Good food and great service.

That's WardGirl in the pic.

Wow, you guys were so lucky to find a Tia Chi class in the salt flats like that! What are the odds on that? Wow! :)

WardGirl drove up the 5.5 mile ascent on a very rough track that was barely a road--her first real 4x4 off-road experience. Slow going--with stops it took about an hour for the climb.

More Arizona tomorrow, but tonight we had gluten-free pizza at Picazzo's. :)

DRAT!!!! I had a whole message written and inadvertently hit my mouse and POOF it was gone. Tony was home overnight because he and Rob went to Great Adventure in Mass. today. He'll be home Wed for hiss final appointment with is surgeon (his stitches look ilk Frankenstein). At least for a man it's a badge of courage.

I hope that this finds you all doing well. I keep up with the posts but the pneumonia (or possibly the 3 antibiotics I am on for it) wipes me out. Napping a lot and when I have the patience to read I've kindled almost all the books by Louise Hay. She believes you can heal yourself and steps you through it. At the least she's a very good writer and gives a lot of positive affirmations. Started making jewelry again and last Tuesday I had Selia (the girl I tutor) and her siblings and mom over for crafts. Of course I snuck a lesson in for Selia. As soon as I regain my strength I'll start back tutoring her one on one. It was easier Tuesday to have all of them over.

Tony surprised us with something special. The three of us are going to see "The Boss" on the 18 (I think I may have mentioned it in a previous post).

Well dear psillies my energy is fading and I have to try to stay awake until the laundries' done. Superman's been doing it but I thought I'd surprise him.

OK, off to seamy timer and nap until the laundry is dry.I miss you all a lot!

Love & healing hugs,

Loey

P.S he's looking into Law Enforcement internships for next summer. One is in Minnesota.That's the online that pays.I hope interns don't get gunssad.gif

With long draw out posts that I care about, I type them in Word first. Then I copy/paste them in to the forum window for posting. That way if something goes wrong, I still have the post. Just a suggestion. B)

I do the same thing as Vincent, except I type them in Winders notepad. The text is larger and easier to read in Notepad than in the reply window on the forum, so that's a nice added benefit.

Kick that laundry's butt Loey! :)

Nice pic of the Ward-Gurl and Peoter there!

Just had to wait over an hour and a half for a doctor's appointment . . . grrrrrrrr. They told me to come 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork . . . which thank goodness I didn't go early because experience says that I have plenty of time to fill out the paperwork . . . would have been two hours if I had <_<

. . . and I walk away from the appointment with a bunch of . . . nuthin'!

So frustrating. I had an ortho appt for J once and I left after 2 hours. Was able to get him a better doc. Why are some doctors' offices really good at scheduling and some so bad?

Had a 9am appointment once - first person, and sat around waiting for half an hour. The receptionist told me that the doc didn't usually get in until 9:30 or so....

Had a new doc in a few weeks.

This is all really interesting in light of what happened last week in this household.....DD had an appointment for a colonoscopy, and usually there is about a month's wait for one of these procedures. She got the referral from our GP and the specialist's office called me the next day -- could we get in there in 48 hours? Wow....sure! And not only a three-day wait, but once we got to the appointment, we didn't even have time to open our reading material.. . . ..DD was called into the exam room immediately, and I filled out the forms. Talk about efficient.

But here's why: Before my daughter went in, the receptionist informed us that there was a sixty-dollar charge. I stared at her blankly. I said, "But my husband had a colonoscopy last year, and it was covered by the province". And she replied, "he must have had it done at one of the hospitals", (he did) "....and this is a privately-run clinic".

Aaaaaahhhhhh. That explains it. We had no wait time, ultra-efficient.....but that cost sixty bucks.

Ya get what ya pay for. <_<

We are on vacation in the Monterey CA area. We kayaked this morning and saw lots of seals, otters, birds and more large jelly fish than you could imagine.

...

Aw man, wish I felt well enough often enough to both keep up here and to pop over the hill to meet for a quick coffee or something. Your sched looks pretty packed!

I'm just 30-40min from the northern side of Monterey Bay, but don't pop over near often enough.

Those Watsonville strawberries are legendary! Some as big as a fist!

We are currently in Sonoma County, California, north of San Francisco.

A Psilly Psummit is planned for tomorrow morning in the SF Marina district.

Gah! Another!

:(

Nice AZ pic. Lots more forest in AZ than the popular "all desert & saguaro cactus" perception would allow. ;)

Haven't gotten any work done on the house the last two days, but I have been Suzie homemaker. The pirate and I picked about 10 pounds of blackberries yesterday, froze 6, and we're eating our way through the last 4. Just went out and got maybe 8 more pounds, so I'll make fruit leather. We'll get more tomorrow for coffee cake and jam.

Also, um ...acquired... a bunch of yellow plums from the neighbour's tree which I'm going to cut in half and put on the roof to try to dry.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
