Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in to say hi and Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry I haven't been around much, I'm making up for lost time .... lots of catch-up to do after being sick for five years. :) I'm also working part-time for Adam .... and no, I can't get online at work, I'm doing job take-offs and quotes, so it keeps me busy and stretches my mind .... have to get that brain working again, LOL.

Carla-congrats on the job!! :):) I only popped into the Vortex 3 times at work today...a new record for me :)

CarlaB Enthusiast

Thank you ... LOL! Hubby owns the company ... I just never thought I'd be the type to be sleeping with the boss .... they really need the help .... plus I'm hourly, so I can come and go as I please, LOL. But when I'm there, I'm a good example to everyone else and don't get online. :D

not a word was spoken about Valentine's, last night or today! It's actually a non-event in my life - a made-up holiday and another reason for women to be mad at men who let them down :lol: Ridiculous!!!!!!!!

Sillies AND chocoholics :lol:

At least I'm in some good company :D

and OMG! I did not know tootsie rolls were gluten-free - - oh thanks, thanks a LOT for that information......... :angry:

Wasn't this one of the discarded possibles when CBC was naming their 2nd album?

I believe it was unceremoniously dropped w/ the Salieri-ish "too many syllables".

Obsession With Comparables.....I thought that was the little filly that stayed just in the wake of Seattle Slew in '78.... :lol:

This is just unbelieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebly heinous!!!!!!!!!! Can't imagine this level of discomfort and, well, HEINOSITY.....mygawd - - they ARE crazy...... my deepest admiration!

It is insanity. The two of them talk about it being a "because it is there" kind of attraction, and an addiction, I suppose. Yes, I could certainly understand the overpowering need to be alone on a barren, frigid landscape for two weeks, eating dried foodstuffs, windburn/frostbitten body parts, no shower for two weeks...OMG...I remain weak just contemplating it......Utter maaaaaaaadnesssss....... :blink:

I do this with all my friends - - but always announce to them - going potty now - but yes, poop never allowed........

Kay, guys, do not understand this rule. Why no pooping while on the phone, but urination is acceptable? Leaving aside the idea of accompanying gas, peeing would be louder if it's an issue of interrupting the conversation with background noise, n'est pas? I do not flush while on the phone, as that certainly does overpower the dialogue....must therefore make sure to go back and flush after I've hung up... <_<

Yes, MUCH better.......though.........was out until 3 a.m. :ph34r: Well not OUT exactly but more - UP until 3......

and no - - I'm not telling ;)

(((Gasp)))))).........

TELL!!!!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd pop in to say hi and Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi, Carla! Great av! :)

Janet!! Tell us! Did you use solipsistic last night? How were your desserts?

As I sat listening and participating in the discussion, I realized my fatal error. I couldn't remember the word. I should have written the sentence out and stuck it in my pocket . . . kind of like they do in "whose line is it anyway". I kept trying to think of it . . . saucesastic . . . soliclastic . . .sillyplastic . . .

The dessert turned out just fine but two left early and two more said they gave up sweets for lent so there's a lot left over. I did have one that took extra home with her. I've managed to have cake for breakfast and lunch.

Yay horse racing!!! :D:)

I used to ride my bike to Arlington circa '75 to '79.

Poring over The Racing Form, knowing that w/ the proper weight given to each variable, an equation DOES exist which can divulge the winner.

(Notice I didn't say an attainable formula - in the end it's still a craptacular crapshoot)

But in pari-mutual wagering, all winning requires is outsmarting the other attendees, not the house.

Have you SEEN the riffraff that hits the track on a weekday afternoon? :rolleyes:

P.S. Seattle Slew was '77. :lol:

Carla, fabulous news you are feeling so good and getting back to work!

Yes, it's been great!

Back to work? LOL I haven't worked for pay in YEARS! I used to do a lot of youth work, but got out of it when I got sick. I decided to work for Adam instead this time .... and this job pays! :D I haven't worked a paying job in about 18 years! It's just three days per week, not much ... I come in around lunchtime.

Mmmm Nuggets w/ Almonds were one of my former vices.

Didn't realize a bag could survive beyond the day of purchase. :blink:

WHOA!! Will your house need a wheelchair ramp?

I actually fell off the wagon recently a few times, under the insidious guise of "wth, I'm gonna feel crappy tomorrow anyway", then letting some part of my brain post-date a fantastical decision to test soy lecithin! :lol:

You guys know the Hershey's size called Giant, I'm sure . .. .. . .. .well, I'm sure you also all know there's another size bigger. One of the times I went into overdrive to overdose on TWO of those, because :lol: it's too hard to decide betw regular & w/ almonds. :ph34r:

The Tjoe 3pack by the register became overwhelmingly tempting a couple times too.

Feels so strange to have done that because I'm almost never truly tempted to cheat since the sudden wellness last summer.

No residoo :P

LOOK!! There's Bev!!!!

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
