What does that mean??????? :lol:

...Peter will know... :lol:

From the "Cured" thread . . .

Look everybody!!!! Emily's sober!!!!!

Well, I'm not anymore. Not really. I have had, I believe, 3 and a half glasses of wine. Largish glasses. (Man, saying "largish" is very difficult when sober...imagine when drunk?) :lol:

May have one or two more...MIL is still here. Takes the edge off....

We should have a gathering for all of our local celiac friends, we can all bring a gluten-free meal and it will be our own potluck.

Aw, man...would I ever LOVE to meet up with all you guys for a dinner. :wub: See, this is sentimentality brought on by copious wine. I may even begin to weep, thinking about how great that would be. BLECCHHHH! Must get back to my silly, caustic self...

Carry on, Sober Sillies!

Best emoticon as representative of me a little looped: ^_^

The Fashion Mall at Keystone at the Crossing .... but I have to have my blood taken first .... so we'll (hubby will be there, too) leave after that .... so it will definitely be afternoon sometime. Does that work for you? :)

Happy Anniversary Carla!

Did you have a good time out?

Yes! We always take all the kids with us, LOL. In the beginning it was because we couldn't get babysitters, so we used the excuse that it's the anniversary of the start of our family, which it is if you think about it ... so we continued on with that tradition. We had japanese food ... then we went to Graeter's for ice cream.

Sounds like it was a nice evening out. If you don't mind me asking, what do you usually get at the Japenese place? There is one close to work and I have been asked there.

Well ... ummm ... I haven't needed to eat gluten-free for the past couple months .... seems that as I treated some of the Lyme coinfections, ALL my GI issues melted away! But, when I was gluten-free, I did eat sushi. :)

Works for me . . . Hubby is home so I won't have the kids. If I'm lucky, my Crate & Barrel merchandise gift card will have arrived and I can go spend it. Coffee/Soda in the food court? Or a real restaurant?

Was too askeert to post that on the actual thread. :ph34r: Some people don't like sillies :unsure:

Heheheheehee I had all sorts of responses run through my head but thought same of posting them there. :)

Yay Janet's back! And Amanda's in! And Carla had an anniversary!

Now . . ... . . Where's Sarah?

We haven't been at full-strength in too long, for my taste.

P.S. Aha! And Bev! Haven't we been Bev-less too much lately?

Hi Tom,

Peter, look what I started. :lol:

Gee, thanks, Laura. Now I am the Oracle of Sillyville. So many questions to think about...

:ph34r: well of COURSE there was wine, you silly!!!!!!!! :lol: But.... not enough to make me a stumbling drunkard, for Pete's sake.......

and speaking of Pete, just who IS this Peter in "for Pete's sake?" Is it our Peter? OMG is HE that Peter? Another question for Psawyer!!!!!!!!!!!

:P

Yes, I've been suspecting for some time that our Psawyer is, in, fact, the very Pete in "for Pete's sake"...I think he's our man. He may very well be the Peter in "Peter the Great", as well. And who do you think Elton John wrote Peter's Song for? Indeed, there could be a whole lot more about Peter that we're just beginning to understand. He knows the answer to everything...he somehow created some incredible gravy...What other astounding surprises are coming our way?!

Oh, for Pete's sake!

This one I will try to answer. I am not that Pete. The guy in the above is, as I understand it, a euphemistic reference to God. It refers to the apostle Simon, who took the name Peter at Jesus' request ("thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church" Matt 16:18). Simon Peter became Pope Peter, and then Saint Peter, and is now employed as a doorman somewhere. ;)

Definitely not me. :o

Pass the wine, please. :P

And, isn't Jesus the door? Oh, no, wait, he's the gate .... getting mixed up here ... yeah, pass the wine over here, too ...

Who knows??!! Perhaps if you make sure you wear your tights and patent leather maryjanes. :lol: Will you recognize me? You'll have to go look at my profile to see me. I can always call you on your cell and walk towards the ringing phone.

Now . . . anybody got any recommendations on how to lose 20 pounds in two days? I was wanting to lose some weight before I met any of my fellow sillies. I know I sound slim and athletic . . .

ROFL! I've had the opposite weight problem for the past few years ... finally a friend asked me the other day if I had gained weight!!! I said yes and he said he could see it in my face, how much did I gain? I told him three pounds! He looked at me like I was crazy, but I said it was really only three pounds, but on me, you can see it!

I used to have more current pics up .... but I'm always changing my hair, so you wouldn't recognize me from them either, LOL.

Good Sunday Mornin' to all!

Wowie, Some Sillies are actually meeting in the flesh, not just intellectually! How exciting! Do not worry about any extra weight, Janet. Carla's no young Robert Redford...are you, Carla? ;):lol:

See, told you everyone! Peter DOES know everything! Euphemistic references to apostles, gravy tips extraordinaire...He is the Silly Oracle.

...Although last night in bed I was tossing and turning, wondering about kamikazes and sour cream best-before dates... :rolleyes:

Intellectually???? :blink: Not really the word I would have chosen for this thread.

Neighbors are doing a family New Year's Eve Party - kids are invited - no need to pay an outrageous amount for a babysitter. Of course, we'll probably be back home by 10:30. ;)

I have always wanted to go downtown to Harrisburg for New Years but it is such a hassle getting parking and then getting out after the Strawberry drops ( i think thats what they drop we have a few drops around here and sometimes I get mixed up) One of these years though. Last year it was pouring rain!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I just typed a bunch of stuff, highlighted some text, and LOST IT ALL. BAH!!!!!! :blink:

who cares. I lost all my silly on a phone call I just had. :P (a good but difficult phone call, from best friend, who admonished me to channel my gluten/mental health crusading in a different way - or to tone it down, maybe...........and she is RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! long story......perhaps will address it in anotehr thread)

OMG - some sillies ARE meeting!!!!!!!!!! Susie is jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Year's Eve = amateur night. I never really go out on this night. Will stay home and watch movies with my best friend, most likely. Hang out with mommy late afternoon tomorrow and drink champagne. Asleep by 10, most likely. :huh:

edit: AND THERE IS SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE have you been, long-lost silly??????? we have missed you!!!!!!!!! Um, were you engulfed in fluids???????? :blink:

      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!
