Happy Birthday Amanda!!!

Glad it all went well Judy!

My wrap up- chickens are happy. no signs of another break in (or out :ph34r: ) Max's still sick. No idea what's causing it. Have spent the morning at the vet's every day. I'm tired of this, I told them I'd go by how he's acting and not bring him in again till Friday if all seems the same. Currently waiting for him to poop ( :blink: I have a constipated cat). Adding psyllium to his food (and Lefty's, by default. Lefty has...produced...we'll just leave it at that...)

Have to catch up on studying.

Jess, for a constipated cat, try adding mineral oil to the food. One of our cats has chronic problems in this area, so we give her mineral oil on a daily basis.

Thanks Peter. I got some tuna in oil to start with. Max is still really really picky about what he's eating so I'm reluctant to do anything that might change the flavor too much. He even knows when the psyllium has been sprinkled in. I tried the pumpkin, but neither of them will eat it. I, however, have discovered that it does have plenty of fibre. :ph34r::unsure::huh:

Ya got yer hands full for sure, Jess. Hope Max feels better soon :)

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dearrrrrrrrrrrr Amanda, happy birthday to you!!!!!

I am livid.

We made over $800.

too tired to count all the change but there is alot of it esp. quarters.

will try to read and catch up tomoorw

listing the house this Thurs.

Judy

Excellent profits, Judy! I hope I do half as well with mine next month. :)

And Llama lady was here, too? Wow, I've been remiss :( <hangs head in shame>

Jess, good luck with your wee Max. I had a cat named Snowy who had "Mega-colon" and the tummy issues were AWFUL :( I secretly called him 'Sucky Butt' because at it's worst his bottom would make a sucking sound every time the poor guy took a step. He would lie on his back while his tummy actually rolled :huh: He was a lover, it was so sad.

Miss you all. Trying to catch up.

Have a great day!!!!

Morning Sillies!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. We are getting together with my college friends, Amanda and Steve and Steve's wife Jamie. Even though we all live close. We are in Harrisburg and those 3 live in the York area, due to our jobs and schedules we don't get to meet up all that often. So our plans are mini-golfing and dinner. It is supposed to be very hot and humid today- even so I am still excited. Our gatherings are always fun.

Update from the fair- My Peanut Butter fudge took 4th place, out of 40 other fudge entries. Sadly, my cake and cupcake did not place but thats ok-it was my first time entering the baking contests and I am going to enter again next year.

My oil painting took 3rd place and my calligraphy took 2nd. I am not sure about any of my photographs, since the judging was over but the pictures were not up for viewing. There were stacks of about 400 entries sitting on the floor being sorted...I didnt have time to wait.

We took silvia to the fair- it was her first time. She loved it. Sadly, she was too small to ride a few things. Even accompanied by me they would not allow her on the big slide. She is 2 1/2. I saw younger kids riding. Like a good aunite- I boarded the train and jallopy cars with her so she could ride... I took her on the lollipop swings too which was nice. The seats are made for two so parents can ride. It was nice. We looked at the animals and other things.

All that running between scranton and home on thursday and friday took it toll. We came back to our house by midnight on Friday. Yesterday I was worn out!

How are all my sillies today? I would love to stay but it is storming already and I want to unplug the computer. BYe till later :)

Yep had a nasty storm at 10am this morning- which I was glad now that the sun is out so we can still play the round of mini-golf.

John allowed me to go buy what I wanted for my bday gift. The thing I wanted was some new clothes. So I figured I would stop by Tarjay and get some in-style things...so when did Tarjay get so phlippin pricey? Dresses for 36-50 bucks...yikes! shirts for 25....even tanks were 19. So I bummed and left.

Stopped at Kohls...walked out of there with 6 new tops for 56 bucks. Everything was buy one get one :):):) Beat that Tarjay!!!!

curlyfries Contributor

GAAAHHHH!!!!

Air conditioner is definitely on the fritz :angry:

78 degrees so far :o

Mornin', Peeps!

OMG.....last night Will and I drove up to McDonalds for an ice cream - -Sophie was working through the dinner shift, and we wanted to get in her line and embarrass her.

We drove in and I said, "Hey! I think that's Soph at the drive-through window!"

Perfect.

We drove up to the menu order/microphone thingy, and sure enough, there is Sophie's li'l voice........"Good evening.... ..... .can I help you?"

In a thick, almost indiscernable Celtic/Scottish brogue, DH says, "I'll have me an extra large sooondae witha booonch a' sauce o'ertop".

There is silence. Then Sophie says, "Um.... ...sir, there is only one size of sundae......and which type of sauce would you like, chocolate, strawberry or caramel?"

DH: (angry, more heavily-accented voice): "I need a LARGE soooondae! The biggest one ya can put through yer winda there! And I need ALL THREE sauces, swirled aroooound in a spec-TAC-ular coooolinary display!"

We can hear other girls' muffled laughter in the background.

More silence. Then, "DAD??"

:lol::lol:

So fun. This is about as exciting as it gets in my family life.

We got our new TX driver's licenses in the mail on Saturday.....oye, I literally look like a convict :o The woman at the DMV was mean--she yelled at me about standing in the correct place for the pic to be taken, and then I swear she snapped the pic before I smiled. :angry:

Plus, my PA license actually had the rare good pic of me so this is especially heinous <_< In Kohl's yesterday, I had to show the cashier my license since I hadn't used my card there in a long time, and I apologized when I handed it to her--we had a laugh over it :lol:

In-law news . . . OK, you need to remember that they saw this model/house/neighborhood a week ago yesterday . . . they have a deposit on a lot, their house is on the market, and they've got arrangements for where they are going to live after their house sells and before the new one is built . . . things are just creepin' along . . . :lol:

......Gawd, likely an undiagnosed celiac with all the pertinent neurological issues making her a crabby b!tch. Patteigh, next time you need to quietly approach her and say, "Just a friendly suggestion......your abominable social skills may be caused by an autoimmune reaction to the protein found in wheat, barley and rye".

:lol:

I have told Sophie to say that to any rude customer she finds in her line at McD's.

In Kohl's yesterday, I had to show the cashier my license since I hadn't used my card there in a long time, and I apologized when I handed it to her--we had a laugh over it :lol:

Now SHE has her celiac under control! :rolleyes::lol:

Sillies- the worst has happened....

The birthday dinner from hell---we enjoyed mini-golfing although I had a incident where I sat on a rope which didnt seem to support me and I fell to the ground....

We then went to dinner where I had a salad...nothing seemed to be wrong with it. On our way home- we saw friends 30 minutes from where we lived....I got sick....so sick that there was no where to go....and I had an accident...sillies I was crying on my birthday--such a terrible terrible feeling...

This is the 3rd birthday I have gotten ill- 1 was pre-celiac which now I know why I was sick, 2nd was that time my coworkers and I went to Issacs and got food poisioning and now there was last night....

I think that the lesson is no more birthday dinners :):):)

My coworker made me gluten-free cream cheese cupcakes with chocolate on top :):):)

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
