Hi all from SAlt Lake City! Glad to see some medical issues are resolving.

Just got back from an official Irish dinner at PF Changs. Boy did M eat! Skiing makes the boys hungry and PF Changs is one of his Favs.

We stayed the first few days north of SLC in a beautiful condo. Then, yesterday, we moved down to SLC to ski places closer to The city. We were to stay in a Chase Suites near the university. It is a few blocks from PF Changs and across the street from a gluten-free pizza place. It has a full kitchen - oven, stove burners, microwave & fridge. Got there and it had been sold 3 weeks ago and was being remodeled. The Chase company had not told any of the people staying there!

A guy who just happened to be looking for places to put some specialized construction workers for a few weeks, came in to the Chase to find out if they had rooms. He heard Hub's plight and told him he had just checked at the Homestead Suites and they had rooms. So we are now staying there. It has 2 burners, a microwave & a fridge. It doesn't really work well for cooking but it's OK for breakfast & to keep my lunch stuff. Last night we had Snack Dinner - cheese, apples, crackers.

Had a good day skiing.

Great day of skiing!

Going to try Litza's Pizza. Was recommended by the gluten Free store in Layton. A whole store full of only gluten-free foods!

We also tried Taggarts Grill in Morgan at their suggestion. Yum! gluten-free buns that they could use for anyone's sandwich. M said I should get a big box shipped! They also had a peacock that sat right outside out window and a lovely calico cat that greets everyone. They have at least 5 bakeries in this area. Not all have stores but supply other stores and restaurants.

HEEEYYY, Royal Psubjects!

Well.. . . . ....I spent last night in the eleventh century, completely swept up in jousting, falconry, hand-to-hand sword and shield combat.. .. ....'twas so... .....positievely Medieval.

It really was quite a show. I explained upon entering just who I was. If you can imagine, NONE of the subjects there were apprised of the Royal Arrival and Walkabout of Queen Emily the 3000th of Psillyville.

They seemed to not even know who I was. :huh:

Incredible.

However, they had a rather impressive crown ready to place on my head, and here I am in my av, ready to reign over this clueless, rather barbaric Toronto rabble... . ...

Technical question: Can we still write something under our avs? I could not find the option to do so under "edit my profile". . . .....

Hmmmph. Some monarch.... . . ...canna find my way around me own profile.... <_<

'Tis so. You must have at least 501 posts to be able to do this.

The moon is full and bright. Where is Canadian Karen when we need her? And, no, the smart Alec answer "Bowmanville" isn't gonna cut it.

Do Canadian Karens howl at the moon? Turn into a werewolf? Perform sacred Wiccan fertility rituals? Run naked thru Bowmanville?

Hmmmm... Sounds like fun. Maybe Kansan Karens should do those things.

I don't use Shockwave, although I have heard of it. Sometimes stuff just happens. You might want to make sure you have the latest version. Open Original Shared Link

Less than six hours until spring arrives. Shroomie--you get autumn instead. :o

Tis a magnificent goblet! Fit for a queen.

Back from Spring Break. Cooper spent the week with Grandma & Poppa. He is now a spoiled dog. My dad walked him 3-5 times a day!

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
