I'll Be Gone For Two Weeks, Starting Tomorrow

I haven't seen my Ottawa kids/grandkids since Christmas. Way too long!

I was talking to my oldest granddaughter, Emily (she'll be eight in May) a few weeks ago, and she was saying, "You know, Oma, sometimes I wish for some peace and quiet away from my brothers and sisters!" (she has two younger brothers and two younger sisters).

When I suggested that I'll come and pick her up, and take her travelling with me, visiting several relatives in her area (within three hours travelling distance by car), she was delighted. So, that is what I'll be doing.

Unfortunately, we are making it sort of tough on those poor relatives, because Emily and I are both gluten, egg and dairy free! Plus there are a lot more things I can't eat.

Still, everybody is delighted we are coming. Lets hope that neither of us will end up being glutened. But all our relatives are extremely good in making us safe, and very understanding.

I will be back two weeks from tomorrow. I doubt that I will have a chance to check in here while I am gone.

I will check in tomorrow morning, because I am not leaving until about noon.

Have fun. Hopefully you'll have great weather also, we're so close to having warm weather and I'm so ready to get rid of the snow.

Hey, Ursula!

You'll be in my backyard! Get ready for some astonishingly high snowbanks--we've just had the second-highest recorded snowfall through one winter. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, cozy retauurant/cafe with several delicious gluten-free menu items, Wild Oat in the Glebe is terrific! And Bella Vista Pizzeria has terrific gluten-free pizza, pasta and beer.

Have a great time with your granddaughter! :)

Hi Ursa Major,

Have a fun and safe trip. I agree with the hockey guy; get ready for some snow banks. I have family back in southern Ontario, and they've complained to me a # of times about the "excess" snow they've gotten this year.

I hope your trip will be full of hugs, fond memories and many pictures taking moments. :)

I look forward to your postings when you return. I like your "wisdom" and simpleness with your responses to postings. By the Way, Love your nickname too. :)

hugs safe journey.

Thanks everybody! I am now not leaving until very early tomorrow morning. I was feeling too run down yesterday to get my packing done, I was getting a migraine from exhaustion and ended up going to bed instead of packing.

So, today I slept until noon, and will take my time to get my shopping and packing done. It is a 5 1/2 hour drive from here to Ottawa. If I leave in between six and seven in the morning, I will be there for lunch.

Yes, I know about their record snow falls! We still have snowbanks here, and almost a foot of snow in our backyard (I am about 50 miles north of Toronto). But my daughter told me that they still have FOUR feet of snow in their backyard!

Today it is -5 degrees Celsius here, and more snow is on the way. But not until tomorrow afternoon, so I should be able to outrun it.

And this is supposed to be SPRING! But that's okay, I don't really mind the cold weather. But everybody else is moaning, which can get on your nerves!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
