Hi, Jillian! Welcome to the silliness!

Not all of our discussions centre on body parts. I pheel lepht out on this current one. ;)

Nikki- Get off da compuda and get thee to TURKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soozle, I agree with Patti, give this license number to the police and let them know your concerns. Did you not say you was in a gated community? Did the bicycle and the car get in by following others who opened the gate? This is concerning and do not dismiss it. Don't be unnecessarily alarmist but do not ignore it either... {{{hugs}}}

Suze- I missed the bike story- be safe please!!!!!!!

Did not get the butter ice cream but did have a nice chat with the lady who was standing next to me when I yelled "there butter in ice cream?!?!?!?"

Uhm.... haagen daaz just came out wif brown sugar ice cream! :D :D

About a picture of me. I don't pornogfaph well - kinda always look half dazed ( maybe I am).

My new favorite word- PORNOGRAPH :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gluten boobs!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nope- IBTC here too :lol: Nikki Tee Hee <snort> <SNACKLE>

Peter....Why don't you think you don't fit in to this body parts conversation? Your boobs are probably more like mine! Or, at least, more like mine than either of my large boobed DD's (got them from thier Father).

"On account of" :lol: The Beav use to say it like this: "On accounta"

OMG :lol: he did

About a picture of me. I don't pornogfaph well - kinda always look half dazed ( maybe I am). And, I have no idea how to do it. The only pic of me is on my Facebook page, but my daughter did it and I don't know how. In that pic, I'm holding my - ready - great grandson! God, that hurts to say! Because I'm only 27. But, I would love to see that pic with SHM on my lap. What a turn on that would be! I could honestly say I dried and went to heaven!

Speekin of my assless wonder ( which no one is) my boobs went the way of my ass. Does anyone have them? I NEED them back. I'm a woman stuck in a wrinkly, krinkly 12 year old boys body.

Do I have to buy them? I know who's got my ass. Now - WHO TOOK MY BOOBS?

Bevvy - please note - it was not PORNOGRAPH - it was PORNOGFAPH :lol:

Sleuzinn has some of the most creative spelling we've ever pseen :lol:

assless wonder and gluten boobs

I AM gettin' some real fake boobs, someday soon, Psills. I really am. I DESERVE them :angry:

<also founding member of IBTC here <_< >

Oooh! Someone.....was it you, Soozle?..........posted boobs you can buy. I'm gonna look for em and get back witcha

got my strap-ons at Victoria's Secret for me birfday a couple of years back :lol: <link did nae work for me either, does this really mean that God doesn't want us to have boobs??? harRUMMPHFFFF!!! >

Aha! Prouph! God himself does not want me to have an ass or boobs. When I clicked on that link, it said that it didn't exist! I bet it does for everyone else and all kinds of peeps are gaily buying boobs and asses..I'll just have to keep stuffing the kleenecks in the old bra. Do I have body metamorphisis syndrome? Quite Possibly.

5' 4" 86 lbs at lowest Have gained 10 lbs. since going fluten-gree

You?

gained about THIRTY pounds since going g f , and do not like it. <_<

I have been a life time member of the IBTC! My little sister has had bigger boobs than me since she hit puberty (I'm 3 years older) and I lost even more when I got sick! I'm back up to a healthy weight (5'3" 120lbs of muscle from all the sports ;)) but my boobs decided not to return... have I done something to offend them? Or maybe they were gluten boobs and I'll never see them again!

JILLIAN!!! so glad you pooped in!! Welcome to madness, we're silly, wacky, and harmless fun

Morning Everyone!

I am heading out today so I will try to check in, probably not tomorrow but Tuesday for sure. It is sunny here today and I am hoping its not too hot. I haven't been outside yet. I still have to finish packing and pack some of my food too- my pasta and my pasta sauce and stuff like that. I plan on doing some baking and stuff while there.

I need to check the forecasts for tomorrows adventure. Keep all silly limbs and appendiches crossed for sun!

I do have a few red cherry tomatoes on my vine which is exciting!!!!

I can't stop sneezing!!!! Its like I have the worlds biggest allergy or I have a summer cold...which I think is probably the answer...I have had chills for days now, and my nose is stuffy and running and the sneezing....miserble!

So hope all my other sillies are good. I will talk to you all later!!!

Good morning peeps! Woke up much earlier to the sounds of softly falling rain, so gentle and soothing. Put me right back to sleep. Squirrel was not happy though, pulling an Alan, Steve! in the tree outside me kitchen window :lol: WIH, rain at this time of year! All those people at the lake yesterday must have known something--the place was jammed full. But t'is lovely, and cool, a good baking day. Phinally found me some sweet rice flour yesterday and have a new recipe to try; also time for more choc. chips (goes and gets choc. chip cookie--nourishing breakfast :P )

Hoping all our travelling psillies journey saphely. We is all gonna have to post lots more to make up for their absence ;) I have never been to Turkey either :P Why is it all airlines think we want to arrive at our destinations at 6:00 a.m.?? Too soon to check in anywhere, too tired to do anything, needs to put pheet up phor a while and dere you are, stuck with all the way-too-much tatt you carted wiv you, wondering what in the hail you are going to do!

Joodee, good luck with your marketing plan for kitteh and house; good idea to put the two together--the cat comes wif the house. :lol: On the other hand, not the best way to choose adoptive parents--usually different kinds of people targeted. :rolleyes:

When we sold our house in Sonoma (after only 20 years, not 30), I pulled a cute one, not intentionally but that's the way it worked out. Got the house all ready and then left for a High School reunion in New Zealand for three weeks the day after the house went on the market. All I got to see was the realtors' tour. Clay used to keep the bathroom clean by showering at the gym, mostly ate out or phrozen phood, and I had a housekeeper come in two times a week to make sure he was keeping de place up. By the time I got back it was sold, and I had only five weeks to: organize NZ immigrant visa for Clay, book airline tickets; arrange for movers and shipment of tatt to NZ; have garage sale; clean out all the stuff we had put in storage while house was being sold, sell/dispose of three vehicles (sold one, donated the one with 300,000 miles to charity, the truck lost its clutch on the last trip to the refuse disposal center and was given to the guy who responded to the service call, with the proviso that he had to dispose of refuse.) T'was pretty hectic, but when we put the house on the market we told the realtor we was leaving November 15 (this was at beginning of October) and so we did!

We decided we didn't want to cook last night so had salad and chilli; I couldn't hear SueSin's phaarts for me own, but dey only lasted a couple of hours after I sicced the GasEx on 'em.

Jannitt, you's got my boobs too, oh greedy one :P

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes :) It will take me a while to decode your silly spelling! I was happily out socializing last night and have a soccer game tonight with fellow members of the IBTC (the curse of athletes... you can be in good shape but lose your boobies in the process)!

Janet, are you planning to hold all of our boobies hostage? I was kind of fond of mine (as was my hubby haha) and would like them back... name your price! :ph34r:

I'm new and phairly contused. Maybe you can help me sort out this travelling bafflement. I know Nikki went to Turkey. Vacating, or bittness? Where did Emly-esqe go? Who went to Viagra Falls? I could back up and look it up, but am extremely lazy person. Anyone else leaving? Am biginnin to feel looonely! Even though DH back on speaking terms. Is everyone going? Could someone send a limbozine so I can go to?

mushroom Proficient

No, the limbozine is reserved to take us to Soozle's friend Peggles' house in February where we can all luxuriate and have our every whim catered to. Eminem is on a Canadian island somewhere but will be back soon; Knickers is vacationingholidaying in Turkey because they don't use Euros there, Amanda is long weekending or weeking, one or t'other, Joodee is so busy trying to move to Temecula we hardly hear from her any more, even though she's quit smoking and needs somethin' to do with her hands; we all went to Viagra Phalls at some point in time...lessee, that about covers it. :rolleyes:

ranger Enthusiast

Thanks, I think that brings me up to speed. I'm going to go start dinner now. NO BEANS! EVER! And I don't like wire hangers, either.

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.
    • knitty kitty
      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy).  Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis.   I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs) with Selenium which improves thyroid function.   Interesting Reading: Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10844495/   Experience with selenium used to recover adrenocortical function in patients taking glucocorticosteroids long https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24437222/   Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/   Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis (1950) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/
    • suek54
      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease. 
    • catnapt
      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!
