I'd still like me polar co-ordinated scarf set B)

I'll work on that. It's not really scarf season here.

Went to PF Changs for the first time tonight. I have had regular PF Changs at neighborhood parties as the manager lives across the street. We got 2 gluten-free dishes - spicy chicken and beef with snow peas and used the coupon for free lettuce wraps. It was delicious. They made a big fuss about the Food being gluten-free.

The Changs that I have been to really seem to take pride in their gluten-free food. I just love it there :)

They should be home about 10:30 tonight. July 4 is the worst. They have to completely pack up a huge fireworks tent and put it into trucks. If they get done before the other tent, they go over there to help. Will probably be 2 a.m. :blink:

Just walked down to my public library to discover they're closed all weekend. Huff. At least I got some exercise.

Wish I was in on the mini-psillie gathering!

Well guys, believe it or not, my admitting physician was Dr. John Hung :lol: , and I think he must have changed his name to compensate for the tiny thumbs, like little matchsticks they were :rolleyes:.

A doc came wandering into my two-bed room yesterday morning (other bed empty) and poked his head around and said, "Are you Ms. Salcido??? (incredulously)" I said no, I was not, but asked was he Dr Hung?? :lol: :lol: :ph34r: You could tell I was feeling bettah!

I used to work with a Dr. Wellington Hung.......

He even got a mention in Playboy for his name. I think he was a Pediatric Endocrinologist (Maybe?) but a urologist would have been better. :P

It's just too easy. I imagine his parents laughed hysterically every time they thought about the nicknames their son would get. He almost had to become either some prestigious professional, or a really good boxer.

OMG.. ... . .. must be something about pediatric endocrinologists - - after my diabetes diagnosis as a child, the endo I saw for the first two or three years was a rather severe, older German specialist named Berndt Koch.

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a good day so far, but the heat is keeping me indoors at the moment. Fifteen minutes ago, the observation at the airport 2 miles west of here was 90F. With the humidity, it feels like 97F. It could be worse, though. The relative humidity is only 36%.

There is a bit of sadness in the house. Due to escalating problems, we had to send Bagheera back on Friday morning. The difficult and heartbreaking decision came on Thursday. He is such a sweet and loving little guy who gets along wonderfully with humans. Unfortunately, it seems that he needs to be in a one-cat household. :(:(

Sorry to hear about Bagheera. I'm sure he'll find a good home.

POeter, I am so sorry to hear this. A beautiful little kitten like Bagheera will find a new home quickly, for sure.

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends. Our beautiful, dear rescued standard poodle, Charlie, is no longer with us. Such a sad tale, and I am still grieving. He had challenges when we adopted him -- he was devocalized, he had been abused, and he was middle-aged. There was fear of men, lack of socialization and a tendency to be unpredictable with strangers while on-leash due to fear.

Well, after SO much work, so much obedience training, desensitization and counter-conditioning, he still had a long way to go. Last week he suddenly bit Jack, and we knew that was it.... ..the final straw.

He was such a big, beautiful, loving animal. . . ..but some horrid, poor excuse for a human being mistreated him for the first five years of his life, and forever scarred him.

I only wish I had the guy's name. :angry: :angry: :angry:

We are all grieving, and perhaps looking at a new pup during the summer that can be Elsie's new friend.

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind.

I hope Jack understands that it wasn't Charlie's doing.

      Canker sores

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Canker sores can definitely be frustrating, especially when you're already managing a strict gluten-free lifestyle and have been diagnosed with celiac disease for so long. While these painful mouth ulcers aren’t exclusive to celiac disease, they can be linked to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of iron, folate, or vitamin B12 (as @trents mentioned )—which are common in people with celiac, even those who are very careful with their diet. Ongoing fatigue and aches might also suggest that your body isn’t fully absorbing nutrients or that there’s some underlying inflammation. It could be helpful to get bloodwork done to check for these deficiencies, and possibly even a full nutritional panel. Sometimes, new sensitivities or hidden sources of gluten or additives like sodium lauryl sulfate (common in toothpaste) can trigger symptoms like canker sores too. Since your reactions are so severe and you're highly vigilant, it might also be worth considering whether any other autoimmune conditions could be involved, as they can develop over time and overlap with celiac. Consulting with your doctor or a celiac-informed dietitian may help pinpoint the cause and bring relief.

      Ocd making gluten fears unmanageable. Need advice

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
