My husband is thinking the same thing lately. He will have 20 yrs in what he is doing now. He will get some retirement if he retires in auguast. But he is unsure what he wants to go into. He is only 40 years old, so he has many options. He is too grumpy working now and it is affecting us all. He is just worrying about getting a new job and insurance, with me and his son being celiac. I always tell him he can retire and i can work but im not well enough to work full time yet.

We use to talk about taking over the farm that we have, but now that I am celiac and so is his son, We can not take over the farm.

Oregan is such an beautiful state, i bet it is easy to take beautiful pics up there.

Yah, my wife doesn't qualify for early retirement until 2013, another 6 years...she works at the same company. At that time we will likely leave and never look back. With me it is not the work I do that is the problem. I need to feel valued, not like a piece of meat, and if I feel my company doesn't treat it's employees well, that bothers me. I've seen 25+ year employees let go and their job sent to China or India. IMO, there isn't much worse corporate behavior than that. Plus, it's the loss of much knowledge and experience just to save a $$. Don't get me wrong, I have as much vested interest in seeing my company be successful as anyone, I just don't like the human cost. In our society, greed is king, sometimes to sickening levels.

I think you can put a custom phrase under your stats on the left of your posts - rather than Advanced Community Member, or whatever is there now.

Not sure what else. Maybe we should create a list of demands. :D

Maybe we get to try to lead that cow down a flight of stairs...

Maybe Bill Gates will just pay for the installation of an escalator.

Yes, I think that 500 posts is a milestone worth really celebrating. We could have a Fortune 500 party...only those at 500 posts can come. :lol:

Carla is so happy that Susan remembered to have conversations with Jerry in the third person.

elye Community Regular

Wow, Emily forgot all about that third-person thing with Jerry...Maybe something REALLY magical will happen if I'm talking in the third person singular when I hit 500 posts!

CarlaB Enthusiast

Carla is so glad Emily finally remembered. Carla also can't wait until Jerry starts talking in the third person OUTSIDE of the forum and has to explain to his real friends that this is how Jerry talks to his internet friends ... they already think Jerry's nuts for eating gluten-free!

Susan is easily amused and is glad Carla is happy :lol:

Susan thinks that Emily can/may (Susan knows she is speaking to a language teacher, here:)) speak in third person singular BEFORE the 500th post. ;)

Ohhhhh...you're not another Toronto fan, are you? No Toronto fans are allowed past 500 posts, you know... :P

Susan does not like talk of sports on this thread about nothing. no, no, no. Well, at least it's not football. Susan HATES any mention of a certain team in her native town.

But I will forgive you the hockey talk.

:blink:

Um, it IS hockey we're speaking of, right? :lol:

Susan is finished, Susan is avoiding the dread task of extreme cleaning for houseguests, and if you see me on here again, SCREAM at me to go.

Harrumph!

JerryK Community Regular

Hmm, what will I put under my Avatar....good question!

I think perhaps something witty like:

"Testing 1-2-3"

"What the heck should I put here?"

"500 posts...now what?"

"Gluten for regularity"

"So much bread...so little time to spend in the bathroom"

"Gluten, when a laxative isn't enough"

So many options;)

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.
    • knitty kitty
      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.  
    • trents
      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the milk protein?
