So I Am Quite Proud Of Myself...

Anyway, lately I have been unable to sleep past 6 am... (When I used to sleep in till like 10 am...) So today, I actually got up and made my husband a nice breakfast. It consisted of cheesy scrambled eggs, homemade tortillas from dinner a couple nights ago, huckleberry jam, salsa, Lemonade... (Don't ask why he wanted lemonade for breakfast.) Oh and Peppermint tea, as he has a cold. (No I didn't have any of this... But still). In the past year and almost nine months we've been married, I have never once made him breakfast... I was such a good wife this morning

Then I promptly proceeded to start making dinner (I love crockpots... they make it so much easier to cook dinner while at work.) which will be chicken curry. Yay!

I love that I actually have energy to do stuff now that I am gluten free. And I love that I dont spend forever in bed. I am so much better at living life now....

Hooray, fellow wifey! I've been so happy lately because I now have the energy to make my hubby his lunch to take to work every day. I used to feel so bad that I was so caught up in my own health that I wasn't able to take care of him properly (I enjoy this type of thing). :rolleyes:

You go girl! I was actually really excited when I could do the dishes and laundry again. And I always hated doing dishes. I guess getting sick gives us a whole new perspective. :)

LFA (for lack of wanting to type it all out)~ Yeah. I am of the sort who enjoys doing the stereotypical housewife life. Making my hubby breakfast, doing dishes, all that jazz, is almost relaxing. Well not almost, it is. Like I got mad at my husband for some little thing this morning... Went and did dishes, and was fine. But I am so impressed with my newfound energy to do all this... Before, I would dread cooking, dread dishes, dread laundry... All that... but now its kind of fun.

GFM~Getting sick DOES give us a whole new perspective. (Injuries too, like when I broke my shoulder blade, I missed weeding the yard. And I hated doin that.) Like I used to hate dusting, cleaning etc. But now it feels good to do that... Besides a clean house always makes me feel better

Congrats! It's a good feeling fussing over somebody you care about, and having the energy is awesome.

Hurray! Glad to hear you are feeling so much better. It's like getting a second chance at life isn't it? :)

I so needed to read this. I have been getting more than a little down in the dumps about still being tired, short of breath, etc. It's nice to know it will continue to get better and to have a place to come where that knowledge is reinforced.

I am very happy that you are all feeling better and enjoying the simple things in life. I am looking forward to joining you. :)

some day I was the dust balls roll across the floors and other days I go after them. I think I'm getting better. At least I want to chase them now instead of just watch them!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
