How you doin' Sarah? I was thinking we haven't heard from you lately.

Well... I'm sick of being sick. <_< I've been having gluten type symptoms for 10 days straight now. When it started, I thought it was cc from Micky D's... but I don't think it would last so long if that was it, so at this point I don't know what's making me sick. Diarrhea, evil stomach pain... the fatigue is overwhelming today.

I've been trying like hell to push through it, because I've been sick so much this year... my yard and gardens are a shameful mess. So I've been busting some butt on yard cleanup. Between the diarrhea and the heat, I got myself good and dehydrated Thursday. :angry: Stupid.

Trying to take a rest day today. Unfortunately, Ezra is having a "BAD DAY." And I'm low on patience today. :( Sigh.

I have gotten a lot of work done outside though, which is very heartening!

Aw--I'm sorry :(

Could it be something that you eat often that has changed--like in the manufacturing process? I've had gluten symptoms for a couple months now....I discovered that those nuts that got me (which had been fine) were now being processed on shared lines with wheat. Not all companies will list this.

To be fair, Diamond did list it, but I never checked since it had been fine before. <_<

This stuff is so frustrating sometimes, Sarah--I hope you get it figured out before too long. :)

Argh....poor Gus--hope it's just a passing upset. The other day, Allo was looking out the door and I heard the telltale whine and then he puked right there. I went to clean it up--and do you think he'd move? No, he just continued to watch the outdoors whilst I cleaned up around him <_<

This reminds me of an interesting thing that two or three vets have told me over the years...... when you are housetraining a puppy, it is very important NOT TO LET the pup see you cleaning up one of its messes, as its mother did this and the pup gets comfort from seeing this again. So perhaps Allo is comforted by your motherly cleaning of his soiled area, Patti......... <_<:rolleyes:

I told our realtor that I'd like my picture taken with one of those magic real estate cameras! :lol:

Yes!! But those cameras usually make the house look bigger, so I dunno........ :rolleyes:

Emily . . . how are you holdin' up without the Ripper? . . . perhaps we should all think of a question for him to answer when he gets back . . . something like . . . would you be willing to go bald if you could have an extra set of eyes in the back of your head (and YOU would be the only one like that)??

:lol::lol: Good one, Janet! He'd say yes, if they were 20/20. Otherwise he'd need two more ears around which to put a second pair of glasses.......

Hee--My little sister, who is really one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, has this habit of laughing whenever anyone trips or falls. It's like a nervous habit--she doesn't really think it's phunny, she just automatically laughs. :unsure:

Remember the CLASSIC Mary Tyler Moore episode of Chuckles the Clown's funeral? :lol::lol:

Me hair twin is in Turkey :blink:

How are all the fur balls of Sillyville?

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying the Olympics. Last night's relay was sooooooooo amazing, I was yelling, no screaming at the tv, jumping up and down, laughing, crying, what an incredible moment to witness!!!

I also had a Sillies moment on Sat I think it was, I was watching the game between Japan and Misty May/Kerri Walsh and when the ball is not in play they always blast music at these beach volleyball venues, so anyway one of the songs that came on was the Baywatch theme song. And what did I immediately think of?? ................Me Sillies and The Hoff of course :lol::lol::lol:

Since Bubba dug out her equestrian photo I should try to dig up some old swimming photos for my avatar, we all should put up our own "olympic" avatars just for shytes and gigglez :lol::lol:

Can I have a medal for being the clumsiest silly??? Or for how many times a week I hit up Wegmans....see I can win!!!

Jestgar Rising Star

I feel compelled to add that since that photo I've lost like 25 pounds, cut my hair and had it highlighted, and discovered that monks are all talk and no action :P

jerseyangel Proficient

Well then, Miss Jess, we need a new picture and as for the monks....it's their loss :D

blueeyedmanda Community Regular

I agree post a new pic so we can see the new Jess!

Ooh Amanda.....

Phorgot to tell you--we went to Wegman's Saturday. Made the trek to Warminster because I can't get my Enrico's No Salt Added gluten-free Pasta Sauce anywhere around here.

But.....they're currently building a new Wegman's in Collegeville, which is easily not more than 20 minutes from here!!! I'll be able to go every week! :D

you must go on opening day!!!! I am telling you having one 15 minutes away for me is great! All I do is mention allergies and they tell me all about celiac, its wonderful!!!! Do go on opening day you can meet all the top people too.

I wanna Wegmans!!!! :(:( What is wrong with this country? There are NO Wegmans here. :angry:

Jess! Let's see the new hair, the new bod! :):)

And the Ripper is off to camp!! Did you sing "99 Bottles Of Beer On the Wall" and other fun camp songs on the way there?!?! :lol: He's gona have a great time .

The song that the orchestra played as the Titanic was sinking, and eventually slipped under, was "Nearer My God to Thee"....this is far too dirgey and churchish for Jack to get going around a big campfire, he has realized. So, he says he will start singing Madonna's songs (the singer, not the Virgin). he also loves Abba, but is wise enough to know that an eleven year-old boy belting out "Does Your Mother Know" is very uncool and worthy of merciless teasing. He's learned all this the hard way, I'm sad to say....... . .. :(

Perhaps he'll just start throwing out some of his baffling questions for them all to consider while staring into the flames........ :lol:

I have to say I am thoroughly enjoying the Olympics. Last night's relay was sooooooooo amazing, I was yelling, no screaming at the tv, jumping up and down, laughing, crying, what an incredible moment to witness!!!

You Yanks have an amazing team..... :) Still waitin' for the first Canuck medal.. . . .

Yes!! This is a terrific spectator sport. Patti and Mark entered this Olympic competition as a pair, and won a gold medal. :lol:;)

Hmmmmm.......photos of us in Olympic posture? Gad.

I still have the shot of me by my toilet. This could be Olympic, I'm certain.......somehow....

Dunno--I don't think there's a Collegetown near here.

      Thank you.  Very helpful.
    • knitty kitty
      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for several generations, too.  Once I started taking TTFD, a form of thiamine that can enter cells without using thiamine transporters, my migraines have vanished.  TTFD is tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. Benfotiamine is another form that can improve migraine frequency, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There is no upper limit because thiamine has never caused a death even in high doses.  It is excreted via kidneys if not needed or not absorbed.

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   Alcohol has to be processed through the liver.  If there's insufficient thiamine, Alcoholic Fatty Liver develops.  In thiamine insufficiency, calories are turned into fat and stored in the liver instead of being turned into fuel ATP for the body.  Alcohol also prevents absorption of calories from food and other nutrients.   Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver can develop in nonalcoholics, storing excess calories as fat in the liver.  However, excess calories can also be turned into fat and stored in the abdomen, hence the increase in obesity.   In Celiac disease, we don't absorb sufficient nutrients like thiamine from our food.  If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, we can run out of vitamins like thiamine and the other Bs needed to turn those calories into fuel ATP.  For every extra thousand calories of carbohydrates consumed, our bodies require 500 to 1000 mg of additional thiamine to process them into fuel, ATP,  the "bitcoin" of energy in our bodies.   Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in non-alcoholic people, but doctors can miss the symptoms because the patient doesn't drink, and doesn't have all three symptoms of the classic Triad of symptoms seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.  My doctors failed to diagnose me with thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's Encephalopathy,  because I didn't drink alcohol, although I had ataxia and an altered mental state.   Doctors don't think outside the box!   I went home and took thiamine.  I had improvement in my symptoms within an hour.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct Thiamine deficiency.  Thank God I had studied nutrition, microbiology, and the research of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  ("Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition" is Drs. Lonsdale and Marrs' book.).  And I've kept learning and sharing that knowledge to help others.   It's wonderful you've been supplementing with vitamins so long!  Don't worry about the bright yellow urine.  That's excess Riboflavin B 2.  Interesting note, Riboflavin glows under black light!  Those lights used to detect where pets have soiled outside of the box, that's the Riboflavin in urine glowing.  Riboflavin can be put in sugar syrup when making rock candy and it will glow under black light.  Fun for Halloween. I hope you feel better, @Oldturdle.  If I can be of further help anytime, you can send a personal message here.  Thanks for reading my posts.  P.S. Thiamine deficiency and Wernicke's Encephalopathy are completely reversible if treated promptly with high dose Thiamine.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.  
    • trents
      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.
