Bev--There you are...and with some nice new wordage for us! Never heard of that one, but will incorporate ;)

Gosh--I forget what it was like to get up and get "dressed" in the morning. Of course, I get DRESSED, but just jeans..... I'm sure I would get a <_< from Stepford :lol:

nolens volens......must do etymological study on this phrase or can't use it satisfyingly and in good conscience. :lol:

Fun new word! I'm not sure if I'm confident on how to properly use it quite yet either.

It reminds me of modus ponens from logic class.

Lots of fun Latin in logic like reductio ad absurdum. B)

Bev!!!!!!

Thanks for the new wordage, but I am just not clever enough to incorporate it into conversation.

I like willy nilly, it's just so much fun to say, rolls right off the tongue.

Oh dear Sillies- I am saddened by the fact (fat?) that I have grown quite UHM...PLUMP since beginning Lyme treatment. Thirty pounds! That's what I get for doing something about nausea on a daily basis and unable to tolerate more than 5 foods at a time. And I can't go out an rin a mile so....you will ALL have to pledge to dedicate helping me laugh off the weight- get out your funnies!

I think snorting is worth 50 calories.

Guffawing is clearly 100.

Laughing out loud...eh...200

Snorting is 250. Ok let's get started!

Guffawing

Oh, this makes me very sad :(

I've put on 20 lbs PRE lyme treatment. Gah, I can't have another 30 on top of that going through it :o

I better get to snorting.........

My two favorite neighbors and I have the littlest, oldest, most run-down houses in the neighborhood. Just down the street they put in brand new 3/4 million dollar houses. I like to hang with my neighbor (in her robe) and her dog and talk about how much our houses are gonna be worth as people with more money than sense buy the houses down the street. Especially happy is the neighbor with the 800 SF house (with a wife and two kids and a big dog :blink: ) since his shack house is even closer.

Today is my one year anniversary of being diagnosed with Celiac disease! I didn't even realize it earlier today. I knew it was about a year ago but I hadn't really being thinking about the actual day. Ryan remembered and surprised me with chocolate fondue for dessert after supper!!! It was just a cute little bowl of melty chocolate with a small amount of fruit so I wouldn't get too much sugar (damn diabetes <_< ) but it made me so happy!

I feel a gazillion times better than I did this time last year and feel so lucky to be diagnosed. I think I may have been somewhat delirious with gluten brain and dehydration on the day of my scopes or at least that's my excuse for not remembering this special date until my fiance pointed it out to me. It feels more exciting celebration than my birthday!

'Tis so true, and I always wondered why the terms changed in the US......must look into linguistic shift. Probably becasue too many cultures amalgamated.........but why did a jumper change to sweater? and why in hell is it called a jumper anyway? :lol:

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

Aesthetic Vehicular Felony sighted todya......there is a new Jeep..........extremely disturbing......it was all rounded and stuff, looked like a.........like a ..........well maybe like a Nissan Murano? HORRID - - Jeeps are meant to be SQUARE, NOT rounded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

<what is the world coming to>

oh - um - did you guys know the peculiar fact that since high school, I know EVERY SINGLE TRUCK and SUV that there is on the road? Can identify all of them.......but have utterly NO idea what kinds of BMW's, Mercedes, Lexus's, or anything else there is....can't tell 'em apart......so anywho this Jeep sighting was particularly troublesome :lol:

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
