An Introduction!

Hi there everyone!!

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, so I decided to just make my introductions here! :)

I'm Lindsay, I'm 18, and I live in Utah. Right now I'm just in the beginnings of starting a photography business. And I start college courses in January at a local University so I can live at home for awhile.

I haven't been diagnosed with ANYTHING yet... and, well, I'm kind of sick of being sick. Honestly. But, I'll leave that out of my intro hehe

I don't plan on majoring in anything right off the bat, but I'll be taking classes in a bunch of different subjects that interest me and kind of see where that all lands. I'd like to possibly go into clinical psychology, forensic anthropology, and of course photography. So we'll see!! :)

I love animals, and always have... if I wasn't so terrible with Biology, I'd certainly be a vet. I think they're the only consistent presence in my life and I am so grateful for that. I have two dogs of my own, Sophie- a 18 month old Great Dane, and Oliver-a two year old Chiweenie (Chihuahua-Dachshund mix) as well as two cats Kitty and Greycee and five birds of varying species. My parents have three dogs and three cats as well, so we've got a FULL house!! haha If it weren't for them, I'm not sure I'd have the strength to keep on keepin' on. Life has been very difficult for me and they have been my saving graces.

I'm excited to possibly be on the right track with what's been going on with me, because it's been years of feeling terrible and I am so over it. It got so bad that I had to leave public high school in the middle of my sophomore year and was homeschooled for the rest. I just began testing for Celiacs, and hopefully the initial blood test results will be in very soon, I also have a food allergy test tomorrow (which I am NOT looking forward to. haha) I'm a member of a couple other amazing forums, and I love the relationships that develop talking to people that have something in common with you. I hope I get some of the same here!!!

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
