I have been here on this site for over a year and I have gotten the most help that anyone dx with Celiac can have. The answers aren't always here, not always for a solution, as best we try, but also, which is most important ...for the support and life shared experiences.

I remember when this site was a fun place to go when you were feeling bad. Someone always seemed to pick you up and made you feel better. There were friends that made you feel better, even though you felt like crap.

There are a number of people with an alternative life style on this site. I do think that all should be open to a fluid life of others.

AND THIS IS THE FULL MO0N OF OCTOBER, ANY ONE TO BOOGY DOWN?? :lol::lol:

Are You calling ME alternative?

I said it before and I'll say it again:

Trick or treat

Smell my feet

Give me something

Good to eat

I don't care

If you don't care

I'll pull down your underwear :P

:)<_< Ok, how about some man jokes? I don't think the men are watching tonight? I'll start:

Why do men find it difficult to make eye contact?

Breasts don't have eyes.

Put the remote control between his toes.

10. You see repairmen go in, but you never really see them come out

9. Your name: Lou Levy; recipe on his refrigerator: "Lou Levy Almandine"

8. Lives alone, yet at his garage sale, had men's and women's shoes in most sizes

7. Asks if sailors count as seafood

6. Sues Denny's for false advertising over its so-called "Lumberjack Breakfast"

5. Calls his hot tub "the slow cooker"

4. At Halloween, he always has extremely realistic skeletons on the porch

3. You ask for a beer, he replies, "They're in the fridge next to Steve"

2. Says, "I'm in the mood for a Mexican...I mean Mexican"

How does a man show that

he is planning for the future?

He buys two cases of beer.

They better be gluten free!

This one is from my 75 year old uncle:

the New Living Will Form

I, __________________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to

be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead

politicians who couldn't pass ninth-grade biology if their lives depended

on it or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of

the following:

______a Bloody Mary,

______a Margarita

______a Scotch and soda

______a Martini

______a Vodka and Tonic

______a Steak

______Lobster or crab legs

______The remote control

______a Bowl of ice cream

______The sports page

______Chocolate

it should be presumed that I won't ever get better.

When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person

and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes and call it a

day. At this point it is time to call the New Orleans Jazz Funeral Band

to come do their thing at my funeral, and ask all of my

friends to raise their glasses to toast the good times we ha ve had.

I also hear that in Ireland they have a Nursing Home with a Pub. The

patients are happier and they have a lot more visitors. (Sounds like my

kind of Nursing Home)

mommida Enthusiast

A nursing home with a pub? Sounds like a good way to trick the old crows into the nursing home, but kind enough that they won't mind in the long run. <_<:D:D

:lol::lol::lol: Too fun!!

On a serious note--

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.

He looked up and said weakly:

"I have something I must confess."

"There's no need to," his wife replied.

"No," he sisisted,

"I want to die in peace, I slept with your sister,

her best friend, your best friend, and your mother!"

"I know," she replied,

"now just rest

and let the poison work."

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!"

The husband said, "OMG!! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?"

"Doesn't matter," she said, "Just get the *ell out."

ROTFLMAO

I need a joke, okay here's one.

A young man enters a monastery and is given the task of copying manuscripts and as he is doing this he begins to wonder how many times they have been copied and whether or not anyone ever made a mistake and what if he is just copying mistakes. It bothers him. He goes to the priest and tells him and the priest says, "don't worry, just do your work" but he can't, he thinks about it all the time and so one day when he sees the Abbot he tells him his fear and the Abbot says, "don't worry, just do your work". Later that day no-one can find the Abbot and then someone remembered seeing him going down into the tombs where the original manuscripts were stored and they go looking for him. As they reach the top of the stairs they hear sobbing and they run down the stairs to find the Abbot very distraught, "what is wrong, what is wrong" they cry and the Abbot through his tears says, "it says CELEBRATE". :ph34r:

An Irish Priest and a Rabbi get into a car accident. They both get out of their cars and stumble over to the side of the road. The Rabbi says, "Oy vey! What a wreck!" The Priest asks him, "Are you all right Rabbi?" The Rabbi responds, "Just a little shaken."

The Priest pulls a flask of whiskey from his coat and says, "Here, drink some of this it will calm your nerves." The Rabbi takes the flask and drinks it down and says, "What are we going to tell the police?" "Well," the Priest says, "I don't know what your aft' to be tellin' 'em but I'll be tellin' them I wasn't the one drinking."

This is just an observation ... but I only clicked this by accident, I wasn't going to open this thread at all...

Since MommaGoose is one of those complaining about "atmosphere" then this thread does nothing to help...

I realise now its a joke....I didn't until I opened it so I just thought "ho hum..another thread I won't bother with"

if someone wants to copy this then perhaps all those who ignore me can alsdo see this?

I thought this was a serious post. So it was actually supposed to be a joke at the expense of those with alternative lifestyles?

No expense at all. :lol::ph34r::lol: No seriousness, as far as I can tell either.

What is an ignore list?

Canadian Karen Community Regular

Okay, going out on a limb here cuz I'm pretty well at my wit's end and fed up.

I think what Lisa was trying to attempt to do was lighten the mood a little bit, because quite frankly, there has been quite a bit of anal retentiveness on this board lately. It seems that no matter what you post, SOMEONE is offended. It's getting to the point where you are afraid to post ANYTHING, cuz someone will chime in that has taken it the wrong way and is in someway offended. If I posted asking people who have brown eyes if they are more sensitive to light, I am pretty well guaranteed that SOMEONE will post that they feel offended, because they have blue eyes, and feel left out that they can't contribute!

Sheesh! Lighten up folks! Lately it feels like everyone is permanently PMSing!

Okay, go ahead, bash away at me now......

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
    • asaT
      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
    • nanny marley
      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again
