While I was talking, my tongue peaked too far out of my mouth and contacted the mouthpiece. I was so disgusted I got chills and I began madly spitting and wiping my tongue with a Kleenex! I didn't think there was anything grosser than bum contact with a public toilet but I think for me this may have been worse! :blink:

Gaaaaahhhhh.....(Grossed-out face emoticon). And the frightening part is that hovering will do nothing to protect you from this particular stomach-churning act...

Hey Peter!!! Do you like cider??

Janet, I find most cider to be too sweet for my palate. I'd much rather have a dry white wine.

Peter! Yes, too sweet for your palate, but more importantly, far too sweet for your uselsess pancreas. Pardon me, I'm sure you have a lovely pancreas, but like mine, it ain't functioning. :lol::lol::rolleyes:

True, indeed. But as I was 31 when diagnosed as a type one diabetic, I had plenty of opportunity to try various ciders and decide that I didn't like most of them. There was one (Woodpecker?) that was passable.

I must report on something upsettingly disgusting that happened to me to day. I was out picking up a few things and needed to make a phone call. I didn't have my cell phone so I used a pay phone. While I was talking, my tongue peaked too far out of my mouth and contacted the mouthpiece. I was so disgusted I got chills and I began madly spitting and wiping my tongue with a Kleenex! I didn't think there was anything grosser than bum contact with a public toilet but I think for me this may have been worse! :blink:

NEEEARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o:o:o <spit,spit,spit-rinse with industrial strength mouthwash again + again>

GAHHHHHHHHHHHH..........the horror!!!!!!!!!!!

Errrm, please do NOT feed cider to the diabetics - thankyou ;)

tom Contributor

Oh Em :lol: I still crack up thinking of The Ripper requesting that we be told of fluidacious farce.

Tom, he told me to mention to you that if cider has remaining similarities to apple juice, it could be sulphites that made you so sick.

Ah yes, please thank The Ripper for me. ;)

Good point.

Maybe you could ask him what would be a good test for me to see if sulfites are an issue.

Omg!!! Maybe yesterday sucked because the prior night's wine was extra-sulfitey!!?

Twas just one glass and haven't had wine problems that I know of in the past. Hmmmmm

BTW, he has a little pewter frame on his headboard with the original pic still in it (y'know, the apple fallin' close to the tree thing). It's an old-looking sepia shot of a little girl's face, with Shirley temple curls and a tiny 1920's smile. I saw it there and asked him about it. He said, "I want to keep this picture. I'm sure she was one of the kids on the Titanic." :huh:

Good a reason as any.....

:lol: :lol:

I've always liked the word sepia, but I think I mispronounced it for decades!!! :o

It's a long E, right?

Yay Amanda!! Hope you get to ski!!!

I've gotten somewhat accustomed to Jack's sudden arbitrary and bang-on knowledge. He'll suddenly tell me the mixture needed of parts water and parts turpentine for a stain wash, or how many stages of Man existed before the Cro-magnons, or the proper way to react if ever suddenly facing a lion.

However, I still was surprised and amused when he quickly assessed your sick episode, Tom. Didn't know he knew anything about this. I asked him your question about how you can test to see if you are sensitive to sulphites. He said, "Well, he needs to eat some food that's loaded with them and lacking in the other stuff he can't handle". Yeah, well, easier said than done. But he did say, "Lots of people have trouble with them".

I know that wine definitely contains sulphites, some much more than others. Dried fruit, as well. Hang on.........

Okay....the news isn't good. They're in freaking everything......

I know, it does seem unbelievable and I myself don't quite understand how it happened. I think I was saying "these" or something at the time and my tongue just thrust quite far out of my mouth.

I had a bit of stutter as a child so I have a history of an uncooperative tongue :lol:. Or perhaps I had an unconscious desire to lick the phone -- I'm sure Freud would have an interesting interpretation of that!

Whatever the case, I hope it was just a freak combination of factors that led to the nasty incident and that those series of events will never again occur and result in a repeat performance. For a second I wanted to squirt my hand- sanitizer on my tongue but I thought that might just leave me with a whole nother set of problems.

It has been a long time since anyone called me Pierre, although that is a name I went by at one time.

Today, most people know me as Peter, but some know me as Pete. I have also been known, when I was much younger, as Doug (my middle name is Douglas). Jacquie has always called me Peter, although she is well aware of my being known as Pete at the last place I was employed full-time. My mother calls me Pete sometimes.

In my volunteer work with Scouts Canada, I was usually always known as "Scouter Pete" since "Scouter Peter" just has a rough sound to it.

So, I am your silly friend, whether you think of me as Pete, Doug, Pierre or Peter. C'est moi. :D

Also drink 2 more items on that list, but Redbridge never gave me a bad day-after. (In fact, Redbridge was CRUcial in my discovering the FINAL intolerance for me)

From Open Original Shared Link

I can drink only white wines. Do red wines have more sulfites?

Actually, red wines may have less sulfites. In 1993 the European Union passed regulations permitting higher levels of total sulphur dioxide in dry white wine than in dry red wine and an even higher level in sweet white wines and rose wines. The higher level in the sweet wines are necessary to prevent the further fermentation of the higher levels of residual sugar. If you have a problem with red wines as compared to white wines, it may be related to the

Any golfers in this group? . . .

GOLF AND WHAT IT ALL MEANS

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of

tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle,

followed by a good bottle of beer.

Golf! You hit down to make the ball go up. You swing

left and the ball goes right. The lowest score wins.

And on top of that, the winner buys the drinks.

Golf is harder than baseball. In golf, you have to

play your foul balls.

If you find you do not mind playing golf in the rain,

the snow, even during a hurricane, here's a valuable

tip: your life is in trouble.

Golfers who try to make everything perfect before

taking the shot rarely make a perfect shot.

The term "mulligan" is really a contraction of the

phrase "maul it again."

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement

between two golfers ...neither of whom can putt

very well.

An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how

badly you play; it is always possible to get worse.

Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out

and slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps and miss

every green. The next day you go out and for no

reason at all you really stink.

If your best shots are the practice swing and the

"gimme putt", you might wish to reconsider this game.

Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent

is you.

Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too

seriously it won't work, and both are expensive.

The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure. 
    • Mari
      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines. 
    • Mari
      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
