AHOY ME HEARTIES!!!!

This morning I started to make my smoothie that I eat every morning ... Wild Oats was out of vanilla whey powder, so I have chocolate ... I added a banana and frozen strawberries instead of my usual raspberries ... I put the hand blender in and apparently hit the start button too soon and chocolate smoothie went all over everything.

:rolleyes: Don't you just hate it when that happens?!

I decide to wash my terrycloth robe

This would not be a decision I'd take lightly (and definitely not when herxing!)

My dressing gown as we quaintly call them is thick towelling with a hood and takes bloomin' days to dry ..hours in the dryer.....still damp...Heinous chore <_<

NIKKEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!! You must come for an emergency hair consultation and intervention!!!!!!!!!!

SUSIE !!!! You know I'd be there if you weren't the OTHER SIDE OF MY MAP!!!!!!!! :lol:

Do you remember the beanie hat you had to buy when you dyed your hair & it went green???......time to find it again :rolleyes:

...Yep, it's tout de suite. We anglophones often shorten it to "tout suite", but I don't think the French much like this.

The French don't seem to like anything much ......if you aren't French :lol: (but wait :unsure: ......do the Canadian French have a sense of humoUr????....Sacre Bleu!!!!!!!!!)

BTW I say toute suite and sod the French :lol:

Hehe . . . . . . . .will today become "Talk Like A Pirate About Susie's Hair" Day? :D

Avast ye saucy wenches!!

Bev!! Mention a soy plank agin & ye 'll be kissin the gunner's daughter! Arrrrrrrr!! :angry:

:lol::lol: You're really quite good at the 'pirate talk' Tom!!!!!!!

Begad we be needin' t'punish the blaggard responsible fer that bilge-sucking hair!

By gad we do...arrrrrrrrrrrrr

:lol: invert the troll's hair the other way - I am sure you math geeks have a name for that triangular shape - and that would be more like it.

Isosoles??????? ha ha total guess - I am inumerate ......is that even a word ???

MUST find new stylist THIS MINUTE. The man who colored my hair......I am not kidding - he has become one of the most hated stylists in Fresno. :angry::angry::angry:

You MUST promise NEVER to go back to this EVIL man!!!!!!!!!

Walking the plank is too kind for this swine who created the inverse orange triangle!!!!!! :angry:

Ok, must tend to poor coeliac child who either:

Has a bug or

Has been hideously glutened (when, where???? *sigh* ....who knows????...but he can't seem to get a clear run of even a week lately without this happening) .......... poor chap doesn't know what end to tend to first <_<

I thought I hit quote on Nikki's dressing robe comment ... mine is terrycloth, but it's lightweight, short, and has no hood. It actually washes up nicely. It's still in the 90's here (33 degrees C) ... Way too early in the year for the heavy robe!

<h1 style="margin: 0px; padding: 5px 10px 6px;">How many oranges in total would there be in a pyramid if the base of the pyramid has 36 oranges and the top of the pyramid has one orange?</h1>

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

Marge has an incredible head of blue hair that goes staight upwards for several feet. Like the Grand Poobah hats minus the horns. Now, you guys have tolerated my math ignorance, please bear with me for more ignorance: what's in a mojito?

CarlaB Enthusiast
91. Man, I hate math.

How did you get that? I thought it was the area of the base (36), times the height (6) divided by 3?

Nevermind, you can't do it that way. Are you helping someone with their homework???

tom Contributor

"Oh . .. . . My . . .. .. Gawwwwwwwd" is right! Where to start?

Why, w/ the math of course!

Owwww....my braaaaaiiiinnn......

O = sum of n sqrd, for all n from 1 to L, where L=length of one side of the base.

Yup 91.

<and nosoyboy is left trying to figure out why the 108 & 72 happen to differ by 36, the original # in the word problem>

OwOwOw!! now MY brain hurrrrrrrts!! :o

So Scupper THAT mateys!!!

Marge simpson rocks the blue hair. It is huge though.

an old Havana, Cuba drink, now quite popular in all parts.

White rum, fresh-squeezed lime, simple syrup (sugar and water), and lime sparkling water. YUM!!!!!!!

This lovely libation wasn't yet popular when I was last a drinker.

But . . .uhhhhhh . . . . . .isn't fresh mint smooshed around in the glass w/ a mini baseball bat essential? Muddle mottle huh wth IS that word?

WTH??? STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: Once the math starts, it gains momentum (p=mv), and just gets harder to stop. The one to blame is the one who started it.

Spent almost 2.5hrs hangin w/ that new forum member, tvhealthfood. The TV is Tri-Valley and he owns a health food store.

Holy crap he knows a TON about health issues!! Spends a lot of time researching.

Plenty of fun talk, too. The time fuuh-Lew!

He has that thread soliciting questions. I wish I had a Q. Maybe I'll just snatch one from the omg thread, tho he's pretty skeptical about the *most* alternative topics.

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.
