Blue moon, full moon, Altoids . . . . . you'll always see Karen pop up!!!!!

BTW: Karen, I LOVE your avatar. It's GREAT

Ann: Yes, the blue moon is wreaking havoc in my life. So far this month, my AMAZING grandmother passed away, and of course they found the "blip" in that artery in my head. DEFINITELY wreaking havoc. Usually, I have had good experiences with blue moons. I guess this is what I get for having good experiences all my life! Personally, I think if I find out that there is going to be a blue moon during another month, I may just go into my cave for the entire MONTH. :ph34r:

Of course, I've been in my "don't want to bother anyone with my woes" cave for quite some time -- but, I need to laugh about it, and lord knows, if I want to laugh, I just need to come here!!!!

Blue Moon. ...You saw me standing alone without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own. And there suddenly appeared before me the only one that my arms could ever hold. And I heard somebody, whisper, please adore me and when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.

Ann, my friend, look for the gold moon.

OK I have been cranky and a little bitter, so fill me in on what the Heck a blue moon is, I know what a full moon is. If I am going to use this as an excuse with family and friends I need to sound smart about it so fill me in.

I'm from Canada too and we get big moons out here.

Well that will at least explain my behaviour for May anyway.

Thanks for the excuse - no really I think I am naturally a little moody. According to my reading this will get better when I find a balance in my diet. I think it gets worse with me because I am obsessive compulsive.

For 3 years or more everyday was 2 raspberry waffles with 2 tbsp of Peanut butter and honey, 1 really hot cup of black coffee and 2 glasses of water. I tried to substitute the gluten free waffles, even tried making my own waffles. Not the same. New breakfast ritual is a bowl with 1 banana, 3 strawberries sliced and 1/2 cup of homemade chocolate pudding dumped over top.

One meal down, 5 to go. I eat 6 times a day so my sugar doesn't drop so if anyone has any snacky fun meals they would like to share, please, I'm all ears.

I really miss my granola bars!!! - Oh well life goes on!

A LITTLE bit goofy?????!!!!! <_<

A horse walks into a bar . . . . .

Bartender asks: "Why the long face?" :P

Just warming up. Haven't gotten to the "hind lick maneuver" stage yet.

ONE BIG MASSIVE ALTOID??????? My question would be "which party will be the recipient of such a curiously strong peppermint? Simply a question, that's all. :ph34r:

BTW: Forgot the rest of the backg-up singing:

Ba Ba Baba, Baba, Baba, Ba; Ba Ba Badag adag adag . . . Oh, forget it. I've been singing these lyrics over and over trying to get them out to write them, then I google'd it and can only get the stupid lyrics, not the backup lyrics for WAY too long. Poop. Sorry about that, for all you "GI" celiacs. You can get me back by saying, "Stagger." :lol:

Good point. Although I think Karen should let him out for selfish reasons. Her decision. She should be the recipient.

She should be the recipient.

But he still has to eat the Altoids.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      Thank you @trents! This is all sound advice. In 2022 I did have a biopsy done with the EGD: SPECIMEN: (A) DUODENUM, BIOPSY (B) GASTRIC BIOPSY(C) GASTRIC POLYP, BIOPSY(D) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY (E) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY This would have been when the candida was found.  If I understand right it’s the duodenum they take a biopsy of. Nothing was mentioned about Villous atrophy however they were not looking for that particularly.    Something that stumps me is the correlation between symptoms and damage. One seems to equal the other. I have yet to see damage with “silent celiac”. Not saying it doesn’t exist.  Also super curious on other symptoms that would improve based on a gluten free diet. Obviously silent celiac wouldn’t have an improvement in GI symptoms but that is all I have read any data for. No one saying things like my anxiety went away or my headaches and joint pain are gone.    I see why it would be a “gluten challenge” since eating 4-6 slices of bread daily is a challenge to do. 😳 I would replace that with cake 🍰😉

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I know I haven't been tested for Celiac yet. But If I took a blood test would they be able to say what I am deficient in as far as vitamins and minerals so I can see what supplements to take or is it not that easy to figure out what is needed to balance out vitamins/minerals.

      By trents · Posted

      All that is exactly why you should have an endoscopy with a biopsy of the small bowel lining done. It's a very simple procedure and in the US they put you under for it so there is no discomfort. You don't even have to do a cleanout like you do for a colonoscopy.  It might also be wise to wait a few months and get the tTG-IGA checked again if nothing else. If it elevated now due to some temporary infectious process, it should not remain elevated. But a biopsy would distinguish between IBD and celiac disease. And remember, the diagnosing of diseases is often not a black and white, cut and dry process. You often have to weigh all the evidence and just go with what is most likely the cause. When tTG-IGA is elevated, the most likely cause is celiac disease. And the gold standard test for diagnosing celiac disease is still the endoscopy with biopsy. But if you decide to go for further testing for celiac disease of any kind, you must not first embark on the gluten free diet.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I understand your exasperation.  My doctors were totally clueless.  Me?  I couldn't believe it was so simple.  I had studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious about what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  It's about giving the body the nutrients it needs to heal.  Read my blog for more of my journey...  Do take the time now to make some changes.  It's a matter of putting on your own oxygen mask first before you do anything else.  I regret I didn't do more to take care of myself first.  It's amazing how quickly ones life can unravel if in poor health. Simple things you can do immediately that will help are: Stop consuming oats, dairy, and corn. Keep a food-mood-poo'd journal so pinpointing problematic foods is easier. No alcohol. Avoid nightshades.  Do cut back on or eliminate processed gluten free facsimile foods.  These are not nutritious.  They are not enriched with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  They contain saturated fats and excess fiber that can be irritating to the digestive tract.   They are high in simple carbohydrates that promote Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Do focus on meat, veggies, fruit and healthy Omega 3 fats (olive oil, avocado oil).   Do make stews and roasts overnight in a crockpot.  Make small batches.  Leftovers increase in histamine the longer they are left.   Do talk to your doctor about supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing).  There are eight essential B vitamins.  They work in concert together like an orchestra, so they need to be supplemented together.  Taking extra thiamine and Benfotiamine have been shown to be beneficial.  Weight loss can be a symptom of insufficient thiamine. I believe you mentioned you were low in some vitamins. Can you tell me  which ones?

      @trents - sorry, I know that didn’t make sense. I need to get better at rereading the things I write.    The people I know of that have a gluten sensitivity or intolerance have tested negative for celiac. They can’t have gluten of any kind without having a reaction. That to me isn’t helpful. If I reacted to gluten I wouldn’t eat it regardless of it being celiac or not. I’ve come to learn the real issue with celiac is the damage, not the intolerance.    Gliadin Deamidated is another test I’ve seen that I wanted to get done. Also, the genetic testing. HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. Although my liver levels are not elevated now, I went through a time when they were. I would say maybe 7 years ago. I also had major GI symptoms at that time. They had ordered a EGD then but I chickened out. This makes me even more confused. I would think that if celiac were the cause my liver numbers wouldn’t have improved. Which again makes me think more of IBD being the cause of my TTG levels being elevated.  One thing that would make me motivated above all else is the neurological aspect. I’m still trying to dive deeper into that which has me the most interested. I think GI issues are an obvious symptom, it’s the connection in the rest of the body, particularly brain function that is most intriguing.
