Well today is the big day down the street. The new Whole Foods Market opened this morning about a mile from the house. I don't like crowds, so I'll probably give it a phew days--may go on Monday.

Sounds phantastic.

Full report Monday then? Though maybe a bit far to come from the UK.

Nice to have something to look forward to...

(Trying to get the hang of it here, apologies my sense of humor fell out a bit in relation to tomato payste)

Hey, no fog migration around here! It's meant to stay in the brain where it belongs.

Welp, the pirate got a job, and is looking to get a permanent slip for his boat. Might need a new nickname.

Permanent slip? Does that mean he wants to live with you? B)

Could he be a "Pirate in Residence"?

Permanent boat slip means he may stay around a while. :D Hope that's a good thing. :)

So I was wandering the internet float some and came across this page that tests whether you are right brain or left brain dominate. It states your never just one or the other, its always a mix. So I took their little test and go:

You responded as a right brained person to 19 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 0 questions.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Here is the test, go try it:

Very interesting.

You responded as a right brained person to 13 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 6 questions. According to the Hemispheric Dominance test, you use your right brain the most.

I'm 10 Left, 9 Right.... . . ...

But the odd question did not have a "neither" option, which could make the whole exercise somewhat inaccurate... . . ... "Which is easier for you to understand -- algebra or geometry?".....

:huh:

:unsure:

Celiac Mindwarp Community Regular

I was right 12 left 7.

But mostly I wanted to answer yes to both answers on most questions.

Well, except algebra or geometry maybe.

I think it told me house and desk are a mess, but I can usually find things...

Holy crap.....Vynnseghnt is exceedingly right-brained.....juggling several balls in the air, knowing everyone's faces, hangin' up pictures willy-nilly.. . . ..... .

When you are thinking through a chapter in one of your novels, are you wandering around your house? Do you go and lie in bed? This is a fascinating fact that you should put on the inside phlap of book #4.....

...Well, I would find it fascinating. . . ..

:rolleyes:

Perhaps Vynsent writes in the bathtub? I watched an HGTV show where the guy categorically rejected the house he was being shown because the ledge on the bathtub was too narow and he was aphraid his laptop would fall in because that's where HE does all his writing :blink:

So you think customs are just looking for drugs? Culled from local newspaper:

" A dozen tiger penises, a monkey's head, two suitcases of live parrots and a taxidermied baby grizzly bear were some of the oddities seized by government officials at New Zealand borders over the past year.

One woman even had live lizards crawling through her handbag." :blink:

With a job like that, you wouldn't need drugs :ph34r:

We better get crackin' on that. "Permanent slip", is that what they're calling it now? :P

Here is the test, go try it:

I got: right brain--7, left brain--12 :huh:

Mmmmm....drugs sure, but didja ever see a more perfect headline to post here??? :lol:

      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.
