Dear Deb,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Sorry it is belated! :( I just saw the thread! How are you doing? I know you were having a rough time of it the last I wrote you. Did you do anything special yesterday?

Sincerely,

Jin

Thank you for the good wishes.

No Jin--nothing, just worked. My family is all 800 miles away, kind of a sad day for me. Birthday's are not to be had alone and thanks to all of you, you have brightened the day for me. ;)

Dear Deb,

How sucky is that?! :( Everyone being so far away on your special day is so lousy. I am going to make you an e-cake!

Gluten-free of course! Plus, it cannot make you fat or hurt your stomach! ;)

Can you see it? The skinny part at the top is the lit candle. The part with the 0s is the icing. Then, then 1s are the cake. Oh, and you are 25 this year, in case you were wondering! :lol: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. When I posted it, it did not look like a cake! It did before I posted it!

Dear Deb,

I am so glad you liked my cake! :) It could be a World Trade Center cake! We will rise again! B) You sure are wise beyond your years for 25! What a coincidence that we both are turning 25 in the same year!

Dear Patti,

Thank you for the compliments! You are sweet, too! :D Isn't it wonderful we can share birthdays together? Our family here is the best! Plus, it is for the better health of all!

Sincerely,

Jin

Jin, did I misunderstand you? Do you think I am 25, God bless you!!!!! I am 52 now--my daughter in the pic with me will be 25 on Tuesday though!!!!!!! She was due on my birthday, but just didn't want to be born on that day!

Dear Judy,

Thank you so much! :) It must have been terrible being alone on your 50th! You know, I met the Pope, sort of. After Pope John Paul II died, I had a dream. The thing is, it was not just a dream. I know I was up in heaven with the light. There was no floor, just radiant white light, and Pope John Paul II was standing there with his arms open as if he were going to hug me. The feeling was amazing, and indescribable! HUGS!

Dear Deb,

I decided you were 25 this year! Youth is a state of mind. It is in your soul! :) You are only old if you say so, and if you believe so! Whether you are 52 or 22, age is a number. This has nothing to do with your self worth, only a measure of how long you have been on the planet physically. ;) HUGS!

Sincerely,

Jin

You've been missed larry mac. Hope you are doing better, and a belated birthday to you!

Dear Deb,

You are so welcome! ;) My grandmother always said she was too old for everything. I do not want other people doing that! It makes you old! That is like the self-fulfilling prophecy we learned of in our Interpersonal Communications class. My grandmother now has Alzheimer's. I do not want anyone to end up like that!

Dear larrymac,

How awful about the accident! Are you alright? I am sorry to hear you had to be in the hospital. Being there is never any fun. It is great you are home again.

Dear Goosey,

Hello to you! How are you? I am glad you seem to be well. The meet-up with tom and some of the others the other week sounded wonderful! I wish I could have been there, too!

Sincerely,

Jin

Hi Larry Mac,

I wondered what happened to you. So sorry to hear about your accident.

Belated Happy Birthday :)

Thank you mg, ja, & ngg,

Yes ngg, I am alright. However, I have a metal plate and screws holding the bones together in my left arm, a banged up left knee, and assorted bruises and boo boo's. I have absolutely no memory of the accident, I woke up in the ambulance. Funny thing though, the responding officers say I was awake the whole time. Guess I was in shock.

Apparently there was an SUV that made a sudden illegal right turn from the middle lane. Unfortunately, I was in the right lane. There was a brief battle and I lost. She received a traffic citation, I got 4 days in the hospital and 2 surgeries. My wife say

Lm--

How awful....thank goodness you're ok now. Can't say I blame your wife at all ;)

It was probably the heavy pain meds that kept you from having D from the questionable hospital food--they are terribly constipating. I was on them during and after a 2 day hospitalization in January and didn't feel the need to go for 6 days.

Take care :)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
