Hi, Joooody! :)

REALLY makes me wish I were Italian, or something interesting with strong cultural traditions but NO, we're just super-boring white people.......I don't even think I can remember a tradition, except opening one gift on Christmas eve :huh:

Soooze, I could have written this..... . . I am so jealous of all the wonderful passed-down cultural traditions of others, and the only real tradition I remember is also the one-gift-on-Christmas-Eve trick....... <_<

We opened all the family presents. The youngest would pass out the presents from under the tree, and the oldest would open first. We'd all take turns, each person opening one gift, and then on to the next oldest.

We are seven kids, and two parents, so this took a really long time. Hence the need for all that food.

So, this will deplete the considerable snowbanks we have amassed here, just in time for the replenishment of same by the end of the week when we'll be getting flurries. . . .. .... :rolleyes:

Morning Gang,

I guess it is time to start some work.

I have an update on the coyote story. Can't remember if I told you the whole story - a coyote grabbed the neighbors cat in broad daylight. A woman working at my house yelled and kinda chased the coyote, who dropped the cat. The cat ran behind the woman and the coyote turned around and tried to get past her. She kept waving her arms and yelling and finally the coyote gave up.

I just found out that the cat showed up at his house 5 days later, in pretty bad shape. He was taken to the vet and stitched back up and appears to be making a full recovery (except for a pronounced aversion to the outdoors).

Good morning Sillies!

It's COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Currently -1 degrees (degree?). Arnie is having a tough time outside, he just stops in his tracks and lifts his paws up and whinces. I think the snow is so cold it is burning/stinging his paws. So no evening poo, no morning poop thus far, poor little guy is holding it.

Went to get some of those doggie boots so hopefully that will help.

We opened all the family presents. The youngest would pass out the presents from under the tree, and the oldest would open first. We'd all take turns, each person opening one gift, and then on to the next oldest.

We are seven kids, and two parents, so this took a really long time. Hence the need for all that food.

I love hearing about your traditions Jess, but wait you are one of 7 kids?!?! I bet things were mighty exciting growing up :lol:

It's just me and my brother and things were quite boring, I wanted more siblings so badly (might explain the many imaginary friends :lol: )

they are really pressuring me now. Let me go grab a couple more chocolate-covered caramels.

:lol: This cracked me up!!! You had to ponder it all whilst savoring a few chocolate covered caramels

. . . and why do I keep getting Wheat Crackers?? Do they know I run a mixed kitchen??

Mixed kitchen :lol:

John is home sick today. He has been ill over a week now, horrible stomach pains and such. It has been nasty....at first I thought it was gas pain but now I am not so sure.

Liver Crimes, Builder Invasion, and the Boiler Man :lol:

Nik! Only a few days to recover and you are going back for more :lol: And my gawd, I wish this boiler man would have figgered you needed a new boiler in the first place, could you have had heat weeks ago?

You have reminded me I have much wrapping to get to (my least favorite part and so I am procrastinating) :rolleyes:

Me enzymes just took a symphany jump! :lol:

Oh excellent Patti, your liver enzymes are so musically talented. What is their specialty? Bach? Bethoven?

Um....that is, until the Christmas season, when I am regularly thrown into the company of outlaws....brief crime spree coming. . . . . . ....

:lol: The MIL made you do it!!!

Even though I am known as a non-drinker, liver crimes were committed in my youth (twas a very brief walk on the dark side for me) And omgosh I just found a picture that is the only evidence of these wild times and natch, I put it up on The Book :lol:

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
