No....it involved religious discussions, I think. that specific thread has been removed. Harumph! I want Vincent back - - I begged him to at least get his mullett-ed self back to 40-something...too much pressure on Richard to sustain ALL the testosterone.........

Too bad! :(

What's going on lately?? :huh:

Happy Birthday Tavi! What's a number anyway - it's all about attitude.

Susan - I live south of Seattle. We used to be considered rural, lots of trees everywhere, everyone has at least 1/3 acre, etc. Weyerhaeuser decided to develop some big chunks of land and flattened everything all around our neighborhood. Six houses to an acre! Huge houses with only 10 feet in between them, 6 feet at the eves (sp?).

Rusla - I agree - I actually feel sorry for the coyotes. They lived in those woods with no problems for longer than we've been here, now they're starving and have no place to go. The problem is that our old neighborhood has big yards and lots of wooded areas so they can hide, so they all came here and are eating cats, chickens and anything else they can find. But they can't have my puppy!

Andrea - at some point I might make a trip down to Lingonberries to find stocking stuffers for my kids. It might be cheaper than paying shipping on things like licorice. I'll combine it with a trip to Centralia to the outlet mall there. It would be fun to meet you!

I missed the thread that Vincent had a problem on - is he gone for good? I hope not.

no.....I have a key to her house, she has called me from teh road to let her dog out....IT IS PERFECT - - a sink/countertop/stove that look as though they've never been used...I think she is appalled by my unfinished projects, doesn't comprehend that creativity works at its own pace.....and me? I work even MORE slowly these days...... :lol: Maybe I'll run over there and give her back her...what's it called....some electric sawing thing - to circumvent her trip to my house...brillinat idea!

Liz - - I LOVE SEATTLE and all environs - tried to move there - 15 years ago applied for teaching job on Bainbridge Island - - OMG - when I drove onto Bainbridge, I literally wept - felt as though I'd come home. Can't explain it - have never felt that anywhere else in such an overwhelming way. Maybe I need to vacation there and find a single man with a fabulous cabin-ish abode...

Bev - what say you? ;):lol:

It's definitely beautiful up here, but we try to tell everyone it rains all the time so too many people don't move here. Well, that hasn't worked, it's getting overcrowded... Anyway, I love Puget Sound and all the islands. Have you ever been to the San Juans? I never get tired of our annual camping trip up there.

I hope you have a very happy Birthday, Tavi! :)

I just popped in briefly....I now have internet, phone, and cable TV! I'm surrounded by boxes but I'll be able to check in every so often. I enjoyed the jokes----I need them right now!

By the way-What is Daily Strength? Numerous people have mentioned it and I don't know what site it is?

Back to boxes....but it feels like home already. Now we just have to find my husband a job so he can move up here...its going to get lonely real quick!

Hope yall have a great day....

Thanks Laura

I just googled daily strength but haven't had any luck getting on the site yet. I think it's a site for daily strength through a christian perspective. I see a few people from this site posting there. I am trying to check it out but can't seem to get through the sign up process

Well, since I don't come to celiac.com very often anymore, Mom keeps me updated on where the good conversations are. I heard that this was the place....I wasn't planning on writing anything though until I saw all the "happy birthdays"

The ish's are confusing me :huh: Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on? (And thanks for your Fabul-ish Julie :D )

You have been very busy since I've been gone!!

Yes, Morgan is an ish-ish-ish!! And we do hate her hair -- it's always so ugly :rolleyes: She gets up in the morning and it looks great ... I try to fix mine, and it looks like I just got up.

Thanks Andrea ... I musta done something right .... don't know when that happened! :P

Hi MO!!! Did you have fun with Daddy yesterday????

Do you get an ish if you're not forty, yet you still come on?

Yes, if you're in your thirties, you're an ish ... 20's is an ish-ish. As in 40 ish, ish.

Richard, being a man and not a woman, is woman-ish!! :lol::lol:

Oh, he didn't tell me you went to Outback! Did you get a steak, too, or just dessert? Either way, it's better than dorm food!

I went straight to the dessert...it'd be impossible for me to eat a steak too....my stomach doesn't work that way.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
