Wow, I forgot how fast this thread moves!! Hallucinations, 20 hour dates, good smells!

My house smells like Jambalaya, minus the shrimp because sadly I'm allergic to shellfish. Funny how even though I don't have to eat gluten free anymore, most of the dinners I make are.

Patti, bring over your apple cinnamon stuff, and we'll have dinner/dessert together!!!

Oh, we'll have to do pilates FIRST! You would not be able to take my class after you've eaten!! We'll save lattes for the morning with more cinnamon apple stuff. :D I mean, you'll have to spend the night, you live to far away to go home!!

And you can't imagine the quantity of food I eat when I'm doing a lot of pilates ...... Morgan, too ......

You get long/lat coordinates to "caches" all over the world (over a million) and then you go find them using a gps. They are very small to good size containers that contain a log book. Some have "trinkets" for trading. When you find them, you write your team name in the log book and then record on the web site also. Some are in your local park . . . some are in buildings . . . some you have to be a rock climber to get to . . . some you have to scuba dive. They are all over the place.

Sounds interesting, but I don't have a gps. How did you find out about it?

Reading along.... got now't but some more grEy hairs and wrinkles from me evil devil child rolleyes.gif

Sounds like your day sucketh big time :(

Just returned from grocery shopping....I must keep in mind that I live in an apartment and can nae buy as much as I'm used to in a single trip. Me arms are killing me :P I'm used to driveways, not parking garages, hallways, and elevators.....

Had 2 cysts removed from me head today yesterday, and now I'm awake in pain and can't sleep. Had 2 others removed last summer shortly after the accident. (It had already been scheduled and I was for dang sure not going to cancel, since it was SUPPOSED to have been done LAST year, when my life was turned upside down <_< )

Tomorrow I'll be going to a fancy shmancy restaurant with my brother for a banquet for an award he's getting from his job. He called the chef for me, and the chef called me, but I was dancing and missed the call. I meant to call him today, but with the surgery and shopping for a little black dress, I forgot :(

So when I woke up in pain, I suddenly remembered. Hope it's not too late to call in the morning. :unsure:

BTW......got a cute little lacy black dress for $11.50 at a consignment shop B) ..........now I need shoes ;)

oooh.....and in other good news........I got a big bag of Pamela's pancake mix for half price! Not even near expiration or nothin! :D

Does it really matter what you wear? Maybe a nice bathrobe?

Cranberry and vodka would be a multiple- purpose drink.

Missed a lot the past few days!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate in the wrong month :P

Wanna rescue me a doggie, but still not quite sure I can dedicate the time and I won't do it till I can make the commitment.

Been Hell-child week so far <_< DD's copping MAY-jah attitude, tis a good thing she was sitting in the backseat of the car, cuz I coulda slapped her-and I've NEVER done that! Then the 2 of them have been at each other constantly, got in a huge brawl the second I walked away from the dinner table last night, spilled milk on the carpet, food flying everywhere, they both got sent to bed at 7 last night. DD was like, 'Whatever, like I care' DS was crying like his heart was broken because I snapped and yelled at the 2 of 'em. He asked me if I still wanted to be an angel...(which to him, means that you have to be nice ALL the time and never get upset and never yell) I told him that it's really hard to be an angel all the time when y'all are fighting all the time! We all ended on good terms-well, maybe not the 2 kids, and we all apologized--again, not the 2 kids... But I still went to bed feeling like a bad mommy for losing my temper :(

I just liked the way that you miss things because you're out having fun. :D

Aw Rach-shell, don't beat up on yerselph. We all have moments like that--the end of a long day and the last thing you have patience for is a kid squabble. It comes wif the territory ;)

Thanks ladies :wub: I lurve those chitlens so very much, but they drive me INSANE! It totally doesn't help that I'm PMS'ing and I forgot to pickup my anxiety meds on Friday, so I've been wifout since then..... Maybe I shouldn't have been around the kids to begin with :rolleyes:

kareng Grand Master

What happened to our cute smiling babies, Russell? They have been eaten and replaced by larger, not so cute creatures. I hope they cleaned up the mess!

These 2 need a" crisis and have to depend on each other" experience. Something where they must work together & depend on each other. Mine have had a few and it helps with the squabbles. I think you are looking a bit sick on Sat or Sun and should stay in bed. The kids will have to get their own lunch. Maybe a load of laundry, too. :)

Just wear the kimono, and when the cop stops you simply tell him that you are heading over to ___________'s (Blue Eyes) place for the evening. Perhaps word has gotten out about him, in which case the officer will simply nod knowingly and and say "very practical outfit choice... . . .best get on your way".... .. .... :P:rolleyes:

Better: Arrange for a discounted flight for them to a foreign little island.. . . ....the South Pacific would be ideal. Imagine, they would have to quickly learn to co-operate and divide labour - - build shelter, kill food, fight off predators, write out a huge "HELP!" sign on the beach - - all of these things could go miles in forging mutual respect and love.

My kids would perish within three days, this is certain. <_<:lol:

My boys would love this! We could return in a month & they would have a lovely home built, made friends with the native animals, prepare delicious fish & fruit dinners. They would be most happy if they could rig up a computer & TV. Also, if some girls in bikinis were also stranded.

I had to make them leave the dining room toot sweet before I became completely out of control, so I cleaned up the mess this time--usually they clean it up.

Bah!! I'm on call this weekend, which makes me even crabbier! I try to remind myself that Christmas is coming and the extra money is always nice..... Who am I kidding, I'd rather NOT have the extra $$. We get ABUSED on call <_<

I actaully did see them work together yesterday morning-the huge garden spiders have taken over the outside of our house (does no good to knock em down, they're back within 15 min :rolleyes: ). I needed a dvd put into the mailbox and there's a huge spider that has made that particular area home. DS opened the door to the box near the spider so DD wouldn't have to get near it, and DD went around the other side to lift the flag :P

That's as good as it got yesterday :rolleyes:

Also, if some girls in bikinis were also stranded.

      @Manaan2,  I'm so happy to hear you're going to try thiamine and magnesium!  Do let us know the results!   You may want to add a B 50 Complex with two meals of the day to help boost absorption.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins which are all water soluble.   When supplementing magnesium, make sure to get sufficient calcium.  Calcium and magnesium need to be kept in balance.  If you choose a calcium supplement, take two hours apart from magnesium as they compete for absorption.  Take Calcium with Vitamin D.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.   For pain, I use a combination of thiamine, B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6.  These three vitamins together have analgesic effects.  My preferred brand is "GSG 12X Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets".  Alinamin is another form of thiamine.  It really is excellent at relieving my back pain from crushed vertebrae without side effects and no grogginess.   Look into the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Duet (Dr. Sarah Ballentyne, a Celiac herself, developed it.)  It really helps heal the intestines, too.  It's like a vacation for the digestive system.  Add foods back gradually over several weeks after feeling better.   I'm so happy to have pointed the way on your journey!  Let us know how the journey progresses! P. S. Add a Potassium supplement, too.  Potassium is another electrolyte, like magnessium, that we need.

      @knitty kitty I can't thank you enough!  My husband and I already started looking into those supplements.  We definitely plan to give it a try.  We've been against the Miralax since it was originally advised by PCP, but because of the level of pain she experienced on a daily basis, we decided to try it.  We've made many attempts to gradually decrease but due to her pain and related symptoms, we've kept her on it while trying all sorts of other dietary adjustments pre and post diagnosis specific to food; so far none of those efforts have made a significant difference.  I will definitely share how she's doing along the way!

      Hi, I have recently embarked on the gluten-free journey. I have what to me seems like a somewhat confusing set of test results and symptoms. I have been impressed by the accumulated knowledge and thoughtfulness as I browse this forum, so I figured I'd make a post to see if anyone can offer any insight. I know there are many posts like this from new users, so I have tried to do my baseline research first and not ask super obvious questions.  I'm 43, overall very healthy. No history of gluten sensitivity or really any of the classic GI symptoms. About three years ago I started to experience intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe). The symptoms over time have become fairly significant, though not debilitating, I am able to exercise regularly and am fairly physically active, continue to perform well at work. But for example I have gone from someone who consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest inside at work in winter and get chills if the a/c even blows on me in summer. I get tired and lose energy even when getting decent amounts of sleep, and have to have my wife take over on long drives that I could previously handle with no problems. More generally when I am experiencing these symptoms they seem to crowd out space in my mind for focusing on my family, my hobbies/activities etc, I sort of withdraw into myself.   I happened to be experiencing these symptoms during an annual physical with my PCP a few years ago, he observed post nasal drip and suggested it was allergies and that I treat it with claritin. At first it seemed to respond to claritin (though not zyrtex), but over time I became unsatisfied with that answer. There didn't seem to be any seasonal rhyme or reason to my symptoms, and I felt like I was on an endless loop of taking claritin, then stopping, not being sure if it was even making a difference. I did eventually get allergy tests and found modest allergies to dust and pollen, which didn't feel like a smoking gun.  I then started seeing a natural medicine doctor who was much more willing to explore my symptoms via testing. The first thing that came back abnormal was elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies/TPOs, 137 IU/mL vs a reference range of <9. At the same time my thyroid panel showed normal thyroid hormone levels. So it appears my immune system is attacking my thyroid even though it is working fine. I got a thyroid ultrasound at the time, it was clear, but with some abnormalities such that they suggested I get is scanned again in a year. These are certainly risk factors for a thyroid autoimmune disease, though my thyroid seems to be working fine for now.  From here my doctor considered celiac due to the murky thyroid/celiac links, so we did a panel. Results were as follows: TT IGA <1 U/ml, TT IGG <1 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGA 24.6 U/ml, deamidated gliadin IGG <1 U/ml, IGAs 170 mg/dL. Readings greater than 15 considered high by my lab for the first four, my IGAs are within reference range. So basically just the deamidated IGA popped, but my IGAs are normal. I also notice on the tests that my thyroglobulin was high, 86.7 ng/ml vs a range of 2.8 - 40.9.  My doctor suggested that it certainly wasn't conclusive for celiac, but it was possible, and likely that I have some sort of gluten sensitivity. She suggested going gluten free and seeing how I felt as opposed to doing a biopsy. The best theory I can come up with is perhaps I am a silent celiac or just have a gluten sensitivity that doesn't produce immediate GI symptoms, but is still doing damage and over time has caused leaky gut. So now gluten is getting into my blood, and my immune system is attacking it but also mistakingly attacking my thyroid.  So that's what I did, went gluten free in October. It's been about four months, and I am really not feeling any difference. I still get the same symptoms that come and go. My bowel movements may be a bit more regular, but it was never a major issue before so I would consider that a minor improvement. I know that it can take a while to see improvements, and I am going to remain gluten-free and see how I feel. But I am definitely questioning whether I really understand what is going on, and am open to any thoughts or suggestions from the forum. Sometimes I wish I just went ahead with the biopsy before going gluten-free. While I would certainly be down to start drinking IPAs again ahead of a biopsy, you know, for science, I feel like at this point I would be throwing away four months of work and am better off staying the course and seeing what happens. But I'm really not sure.  I know there is a lot of thyroid knowledge on these boards, along with the celiac expertise, so I'm curious if this resonates with anyone's experience. And I'm interested in what sort of timelines people have experienced in terms of feeling improvements for some of these non-GI symptoms like chills, SOB, brain fog etc. Thanks in advance.

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.
