I lead such a thrilling life I will be home, by myself, having a drink of champagne with the cats. If any of you are going to be on here then, we can toast it together.

My husband and I are invited to a 'redneck' party. You're supposed to dress and act like a redneck, and everybody is required to tell at least one redneck joke. It sounds like fun. Too bad I can't go, because they have cats and dogs, and I am severely allergic to those. My husband will go by himself, and I might just join you in hanging out here.

As I'm having surgery on the 3rd, we will be staying home. I already have a cold, and need to get as much rest as I can so they won't end up having to postpone. (Crossing my fingers on that!)

I'll probably pop on here during the evening to keep ya'll company :D

I'll be joining you on here Rusla... We just found out that we're pregnant, so I'll certainly be avoiding parties this year. I'm not a very social person anyway, so not being able to drink is a great excuse for me to stay home. I'd much rather curl up on the couch with my husband and my daughter and watch a good movie.

Ha! I knew it Guhlia, I was about to ask when your xmas gift is due to be delivered.

Well we will sit on here toast the fact that some of us are not social, which I am not. We will toast the Angie's baby, tell redneck jokes. We can revel in the fact that we don't have to go out and worry about being killed by drunks and get glutened. We can be safe, warm and have fun in our houses.

Thanks everyone. I didn't mean to steal this thread. Our unofficial due date is August 31st, less than 2 weeks after my birthday. :) I'm very excited. The only downside is I'll have to miss the biggest race of the year. It's on my due date.

Congratulations Angie!

I will be at home, watching movies alone, maybe watching my grandson, trying not to fall asleep before midnight. Maybe I will pop in now and then.

Dessa--Definately pop in and join the party!

Sorry Rusla--I seem to be playing cruise director for your New Years Eve party! :ph34r: Although I will probably be toasting with chicken soup :unsure:

Angie--Again, how exciting! And worth missing the race for :D

CONGRATS ANGIE!!

Lol that sounds like it would be a fun party, except that here in utah everyone IS a redneck, and so we'd probably offend some people! haha! Sorry you can't go though :( Allergies suck!

Husband and I will probably just spend it at home, maybe go out to dinner, then rent some movies or something. On New Year's Day though, we are going to this beautiful bed and breakfast that is a castle! We're staying in one of the tower rooms! How cool is that?!?!

The gluten-free and I are going to Zion National Park. I reserved a Suite at a nice B&B up there. The cool thing is the proprieters have celiac disease, so outr breakfast will be gluten-free and delicious.

We plan on going hiking through Zion on New Years Day.

Can't wait!

I'm working until 7:15pm and then heading home for a quiet night with the fellas. We'll probably watch a movie or something. Then I have to work the 4-midnight on New Year's Day.

I'll be lucky if I can keep my eyes open, but I always try so that I can text my son in Sydney at midnight, or else he will text me and give me such a rude awakening.

I plan on having a drink or two at home and watch the tele.

Boring I know.

My best New Year's day, and the hardest, was 26 years ago giving birth to my 26 year old son.

I got "The Notebook" for Christmas, and I just bought "The Lakehouse", so I just might spend my night watching movies! Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to drop in!

Congratualtions Angie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome! Yippee!

Wow Boroncobux, your New Year;s sounds like heaven. I love EVERYTHING about Zion, especially the smell! So beautiful.

Plantime...I love The lake House....it's really sweet.

We are hosting what appears to be a very small toga party :lol: But that's fine because a. I like smaller gatherings better and b. we won't really have to wear togas! Probably just chilling with 6 friends.

The next day, I am doing my 2nd Annual Polar Bear dip in the Atlantic Ocean in honor of my friend Katy. She was killed in a car crash ten years ago this New Year's Eve :( But we gather with her family, run like banshees into the ocean and then get OUT, get dressed and drink cocoa. last year wasn't too bad. Her brothers (all 3 of them) wore Speedos so we ALL had a good laugh on that one!

Rusla- out on a toga and join us.

IMHO, New Year's Eve is overrated unless you are 21 and just want to get wasted.

I love New Year's Eve. We all (4 kids and hubby) go to my best friend's house for a "Bunco" party, more food that should be allowed in one house and other games after Bunco is finished. At midnight we shoot off fireworks and make toasts with sparkling cider. She invites other friends and relatives too, so there are at least 20 kids ages 2-20. It's all non-alcoholic so we can all drive home safely. We have so much fun that I can't imagine doing anything else.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
