Ah, ok. I use Firefox. Spellcheck generally gets on my nerves. Here's a perfect example- it accepts "specialer," but not "spellcheck."

OMG I use firefox also....it is annoying. underlines in red things that are wrong or suspect......such as CELIAC............... :lol:

oh my gaaaaaaaaawd! sillies I have found a new man for our parade. (where IS our parade?)

So........the news is on......and there's a man that just moved here.......and here's what happened - his skin is BLUE. Actually, seriously, blue-tinged. :blink: So......he was living in Bend, Oregon, but apparently people were too freaked out by his blue skin.....so he's moved (oh, this should go over really well in Madera - ha ha ha ha). He did say that some women like it. So.....the reason his skin is blue is because of this SILVER "tincture" antibiotic concoction he drinks every day. WTH? So......his hair and beard are silver.......but right around his mouth, the hair of the mustache/beard is rather distinctly ORANGE-tinged - sort of gumball orange. And.........his TEETH are also exactly the same coloUr - this gumball orange. Well, blue and orange are complimentary coloUrs.........

the result, my friends, is MOST disquieting. I have got to find and recruit this man. :wacko:

Right after that, I have GOT to get a life.

:lol: :lol:

OMG my pastor friend says he will come over tonight and photograph the dogs and me for a Christmas photo. am pondering this offer. my gawd, maybe they'll be New Year's cards instead............

OMG - men have it SO easy, don't they? There would be 35 more incidents of panic in the female version............

Complete meltdown would occur when travelling from a temperate clime to a cold one .....dear god....so many scenarios to consider......would I be too hot in this???......too cold in that????....... :o ............definitely need one of Susie's muscle relaxants for that journey ;)

Bev looks beautiful :D

Oh no....no REAL world for me! It's just that between eating, sleeping, shopping, I have no time! Let's see

Cooking and then eating= 4 hours (cuz it takes me forever to do ANYTHING!)

Sleep= 10 hours

Shopping= 4 hours because I can't find anything!

Wait- 6 hours are lost! OMG- where are they!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes::P

Damn time vortex's are all around us - let's be careful folks !! - so very hard to get out of - I myself got sucked into a particulary nasty napping vortex earlier -_-

yes....I will trade........wee smells......urine-soaked trees and gifts........MY FAMILY? heinously quiet and boring.............. *yawn* and very little communication.........give me urine-soaked drama any day........ :lol:

OMG - the red spellcheck underline-thingy is so egregiously wrong - - it indicates that HEINOUSLY is an acceptable word

:lol:

COMPLETE MELTDOWN is right. I can't even do it.......muskel relaxants or no - this scenario is just ENTIRELY too stressful and never ONCE in my life have I successfully packed for ANY venture. Then, on each trip, I spend half my time shopping for the right articles of clothing.

BUGGER!!!!!!!! So now, I just never go anywhere. :blink:

AAARRRRGGGHHHH!

Here is a funny for you guys. My office mates and I went out for lunch to celebrate one of coworkers birthdays. I drove and I had 3 other coworkers plus my boss in the car....my boss had me stop at the liquor store so she could go in and buy a few things :)

:blink: I've always thought "heinously" was a real word! "Heinosity" might be a bit of a stretch... but it reads well!!! :lol:

I read once, that when packing for a trip--- Pack what you think you'll need. Then remove half of it and take twice as much money!

BTW..... in case anyone is interested in a TMI update-- My gluten retribution has now entered a new phase: explosive, completely liquid, acid-poops. The fun never ends around here!

And I am uber-irritated with my best friend. We have been best friends since we were 12 years old, and the girl thinks "this gluten thing" is all in my head. WTH! For the past several years, she's been saying, "You and the kids are sick a lot, you need to figure out what's up." Well I did, and now I'm jumping on "the anti-gluten bandwagon."

How come I never heard of this wild trend until I discovered what was making us sick? Now I hear it everywhere- on here, from friends, in articles.

Did you guys know we're all very HIP and TRENDY!? That's right, diarrhea and uncontrollable farting is the epitome of cool. B)

OMG- and YES........naps are BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After you nap every freaking day.

I agree! :angry: Then she said that this most recent, most heinous reaction is just because I haven't had gluten in awhile. If I start eating it a lot again, it won't make me puke anymore. :blink: And this is an intelligent, generally caring person, who I basically grew up with. It's appalling!

Yup, sigh. Well it got me to swear off of Poking the Owie forever, so I suppose it's all right in the end.

So Sorry to hear this Sarah!! So far, I haven't been hit with the "taking it to far" or "all in your head", at least not to my face. They may be saying it behind my back <_<

In my own defense, I didn't know whose head was going where. And so that the rest of you don't get jealous because you didn't get picked to dance, I had to pick the people who have the biggest heads (in their pics so that it wouldn't get all fuzzy when I scaled it).

I was thinkin' about headin' that way myself. What time do you want to meet?

You've been lucky so far! My friends and family are the type that picks and teases constantly, and that's ok. But I know her husband mocks my "gluten-free endeavors" ceaselessly, and I think it's sunk into her subconscious. Or maybe not, maybe it's all her. In any case, I think it's an EGREGIOUS breach of best friend behavior guidelines! :angry:

:lol: I love that word, and have just been WAITING for an excuse to use it!!! I think this fits the bill. B)

Actually....... The mental chant was more like- Poopy cow... poopy cow.... egregious breach... poopy cow.... utterly egregious... Etc. And my face probably looked a lot like this--- > <_<

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
