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!

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 :)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
