Not sure if this is the same Yeti. He's kinda cute and quiet. Maybe he's a pup?

All right.. . .. . ..here is not the first appearance of the yeti in Psillyville, but it is an early account on his life with us, and the most memorable post to date on his shenanigans.. .. . . .

Well look at you!!!! . . . Looks like someone knows how to go back into the archives all by herself!!!!

I am eating an amazing breakfast strata I made with hemp milk and a mix of dairy and non-dairy cheeses. The gluten-free bread works really well.

Gluten-free bread does work well with things that need to absorb liquids--bread pudding, stuffing, etc. Yer brekkie sounds good. :)

Heeeeloooooo! Twas lost in a kitchen of sugar yesterday! You can smell my house from outside with the garage door shut!

Saw DH in the lobby of our dorms the 2nd day after I had arrived at college. Hadn't met him yet, but just knew he was the one. That night he told my friends that he was going to marry me (was totally wasted out of his mind :rolleyes: ) and called me the next day to ask if he had actually said it :lol: I was still dating the creep from a few pages ago, so I swiftly ended that-thank God-and the rest is history :D

Dear gawd.. . . . ...a woman looking forward to a night of rectification?? .. . . ...... ..

:lol::lol::lol:

Lemme just say, Blue Eyes is all about the journey, not the destination....for him anyway. When I say we were up for hours, I mean literally.....

W...O...W...!!

You eft before work?? Shocking!

:lol::lol::lol:

My ex is almost 10 years younger than I am.....and didn't appear to be interested in learning any skills. This whole thing is quite the adventure for me. BE will start a sentence with "how often do you like..." and I'll answer "Dude! I'm used to 10 minutes twice a month. You're gonna have to help me figure out 'how often'". He seems to think that's a fine idea. :P

Sounds like a keeper ;)

mmmmmm. Not even sure it's 'boyfriend' status. I think we're still just 'dating'. Not sure how you know when it changes.

:lol: :lol:

Maybe after that 3rd date there was a change in status.... :D

It was kinda weird last night. He did the 'I really like you' thing, followed by 'not sure how you feel about me'. Weird because I had been thinking the same thing all day. "What if he says those nice things to every woman?" "How do I know how I really rate in his awesome-o-meter?" "Is this as amazing to him as it is to me?" And then I decided I was being whiny and insecure and it didn't matter, just have fun. :P

That's so cute!!

WTF? That's quite a story!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loey

Ohhhhh, you have no idea!

Hey, all that soft creamy stuff is perfect for sixty year-olds, ya know -- with all them teeth, gum and swallowing issues. . . .. ... :P:lol:

Well look at you!!!! . . . Looks like someone knows how to go back into the archives all by herself!!!!

GAH! I know.. .. ....actually, just lucky. As I was quickly reading through the early pages, I stumbled upon this post of mine.. . . . . for the relative newbies, this is the kind of thing that was transpiring a couple of thousand pages ago.. . . . ... . ..:lol: :lol:

Okay...Judy needs a part in our parade, guys. Judy, can you twirl your cane like a baton? We've got this Yeti, see, and...then, Chuck Norris is with Danny, Wegman's CEO, in our Care Bears Float, and some retrofitted machine-guns, and Charlton Heston T-bagging MJ......

So, a cane-twirler is obviously needed. Unless that would be a bit silly. We certainly wouldn't want that.

Brekky was all on my oddy knocky. BE ditched me last night. He couldn't get his home phone to forward to his Blackberry, and his mom gets too flustered to be able to call his cell when he doesn't answer the home phone. He did invite me back to his place, but I had this fabulous strata in the frig and I wasn't going to let that go to waste. :P

Love the 'first met' stories. :)

Ya know, normal psillie stuph :P

laugh.gif All sounds normal

Look who is living at my house! The Yeti!

He came with a note saying he had been in Nepal, living in the Himalayas. Says," makes random appearances around the foothills of Mt Everest and is the focus of many folkloric tales."

So far he has been quiet and polite.

HOLY HECK.......THE Yeti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how I miss him *wistful sigh*

Hang on to him K!!....he's a whizz at chores and cooking, picking the kids up etc..etc

Now, if I could just find me Twa peeps blink.gif

For us it depends on how long it's been between. I'm also 11 years older (it was called robbing the cradle when I met him but I guess I'm a cougar now) and have some female issues that can cause me pain. Just want to keep Clark satisfied as it's the least he deserves. We've been together for 22 years. I've had a lot of years of being satisfied so although the journey is still sweet the "rectification" can be painful for me and I'll never let him know that. Use cream, etc.

Glad to know TMI isn't an issue here. Could it also be related to Celiac? I do have a pfunny story about one time when it was impossible to get in .... we did giggle a lot. Perhaps I'm regressing and becoming a virgin again (although I sure don't look like Madonna)!

Loey ph34r.gifph34r.gif

ALL is definitely normal in Psillyville tongue.gif

(Hai Loey! *waves*)

No such thang as TMI...and I do believe you can 're-virginate' yourselph. It heals over after a while wink.gif

GADS - me interwebz have been constant all day (WIH!)...there may be a part deux if I'm lucky........

Can I have the recipe for the strata, please? I'm going dairy free at this point as I try to find my food allergies. I have two friends coming to visit from NJ next week during NEA conference (YAY). I have some meals planned to cook for them. Not sure I can eat them.

Thanks!

In a 9 x13 pan:

butter (I used olive oil) the bottom

put one layer of gluten-free bread (cheap, white. old bread would work well)

spread about a cup of ham, cup of mushrooms, cup of chopped peppers (more or less depending on how much you like these things) Green onions would be good too.

add a layer of cheese, I used Open Original Shared Link It was OK, not great.

add a second layer of everything.

Mix 3 cups of hemp milk with 9 eggs (go a little light on the milk if you have lots of veggies) Add a bit of salt, pepper, garlic to this mix.

Pour over your bread layers. It shouldn't cover the top.

Cover and put in the frig overnight, or up to 48 hours.

Bake 30 minutes covered at 350, then 20 minutes or so uncovered. Let it sit a few minutes before cutting.

The fake cheese didn't melt so it might work better to finish with buttered bread and have a crunchy top instead of a melty top.

And then I decided I was being whiny and insecure and it didn't matter, just have fun. :P

The WTF was in reply to the story about the crazy women your dad (or celiac-momma's dad was bringing home).

As for BE- it most definitely sounds like a relationship. You seem to have hit it off immediately AND also have chemistry going on. I knew Klark was "the one" after the second night. Same thing with my deceased first hubby. And a man who cooks for you and has a sister with celiac, too - how lucky can you get. Klark has a lot of super powers but cooking isn't one of them (except for making awesome spanish tortillas). Did you have them in Spain or the empanadas? Sorry - I tend to tangent trip. I also followed the entire story of BE so I read about your trip to Spain and related to it because I was there twice.

Back to BE - it's normal to have insecurities after not dating for a long time and losing a lot of weight. He sounds sincere. Life is about taking chances (said wisely to me before I gave my email out to someone on the forum and now I have a new friend in my new state biggrin.gif ).

He's probably as confused as you are. Klark broke up with me one time (a year into our relationship). He was living an hour away from me. He told me in the morning before he left for work (sweetly but it knocked me for loop) and I had everything I kept in his apartment packed up before he came home. He got really upset and it turned out it was his job that was upsetting him not our relationship. We've been going strong for 22 years since (married 19 years).

BE is lucky to have someone as special as you and I think that he knows it. Embrace it and enjoy every last minute. God knows with this disease we need all the joy we can get!!! And at the very least you got on the horse again!!!!!

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll make it for hubby and guests. Too many things I'm not trying yet (wahhhh). Luckily I love jasmine ice omelets and they agree with me. Also tolerating salads and a few other things. Still trying to stay away from anything that can make the pain from the ulcer worse (2 weeks until biopsy).

I'm a mess!!! The bruise is starting to fade. Still have a major shiner and the stick figure zombie is kind of cute. Thinking of naming him. Any suggestions for a psilly name wood be appreciated.

I don't know his past history with everyone, but so far he seems like an easy pet. Had to set down a few rules:

Don't eat the dog or the neighbors dog

Wipe the mud off those big feet on the rug at the door

No one eats the gluten-free cookies or pretzels without written approval

Shower everyday and use shampoo ( will need to get more for the boys shower)

No friends over if no adult is home

Ka-reighn...you might want to add 'conditioner' to the use of shampoo.

His hair fur was never the same after the incident in Jess's lab....gets awful tangles without conditioner rolleyes.gif

Still following the story of BE

Yeah! Me too!!

It's like a Mills and Boon biggrin.gif (do you have those books?)

Met hubby 'cos I was dating his brother ph34r.gifwink.gif

Did I tell yooz guys I went away the other weekend with two girls on a 'Fitness Fiesta'??

It's where you go to all manner of fitness classes all day long .....and the bar with entertainment in the eve. Fri-Sun

...as PadT would say ...'Oye' rolleyes.gif

I think I'm still recovering cool.gif ...pics are on da book but they oddly only show us in the bar - none of us exercising ALL day long laugh.gif

Twas a riot but SOOooo exhausting - am going again in March! (next time I'm going tee total)

In other news I had me a root canal yesterday sad.gif ....would rather givE BIRTH methinks dry.gif

I'm thinking this may be a young Yeti (maybe not the same one?). He is sleeping alot and playing video games with the boys. School was closed today because the teachers haven't had a day off in 2 weeks.

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.

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.

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      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!!!
