Whats up everybody, names Mike, 23, single, on Long Island, ny. I have been gluten free for about a year and a half. After cutting gluten out of the diet my skin issues and other symptoms have subsided. I cook all my meals and dont stray from the diet. Alot of the posts on here have helped me to deal with all the lifestyle changes that took place. I enjoy years of time in the ocean surfing and the lifestyle goes well with that of being gluten free. currently am working my way up the union construction ladder in ny while waiting for hurricane waves to arrive. Good luck to everyone out there. feel free to message about grilling, surfing, or livin life.

Welcome to the Board! I have a daughter who lives in Wilmington, NC. They are surfers and always look forward to the big waves. Hurricane season brings us some anxiety. Let's hope all it does it bring good curls, not damage.

Got any grilling secrets, pass them alone. :)

welcome to the board I would love to learn how to surf but I have a little broken foot in the way of doing anything that strenuous. I have another 4 weeks to see if I can come out of it by that time it will be a total of 4 months in the boot. speaking of learning I hope that you have learned quite a bit.

Hope your foot gets better soon Donna. yeh ive learned alot. im always so hungry to learn because i havent been able to goto college yet. surfings like anything else, takes a long time to learn but its something that you can do on your own. im heading down to the ocean in a few hours. theres a storm off west africa sending us some small long waves, all the way from south of the equator.

Ya, I went surfing years ago with some friends, here on the oregon coast...Actually it was more like floating around waiting for nothing! :blink: I also learned you really don't want to pee in a wet-suit, that was a pretty good lesson... :unsure: Anyhow, welcome to the board, I hope you find it as useful as I have...Julie

I think that I tried boogie boarding (isn't that were you run with the little board and jump on it until the wave comes along) when we went to the Gulf Coast galveston but I don't think that I did too well I was 14 i think I also tore a ligament in my ankle during the trip so I didnt't do much after that. and yes my foot is trying to get better I have good days with it and some bad yesterday it hurt today its ok, It better make up its mind because Im ready for some sandles.

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae.  I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health).   I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides.  I prefer the supplements.  I feel better and my bones feel stronger.   References: A composite protein enriched with threonine, lysine, and tryptophan improves osteoporosis by modulating the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiota https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41915427/

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!

      Hi, @Sue7171, I thought you might be interested in this article about Lyme disease and the discussion after the article.   I found this article enlightening.  The finding that not only can alpha gal be problematic, but advantageous infection with Staph aureus can be problematic.   The Acari Hypothesis, VII: accounting for the comorbidity of allergy with other contemporary medical conditions, especially metabolic syndrome https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11983536/
